Battlefield

From WAR Tumeroks: A Warhammer Online Wiki Guide

Battlefields are locations in RvR areas where you can take keeps or capture battlefield objectives. Most objectives on the battlefield are strategic control points that are to be fought over, denoted by a flag.

To capture a battlefield objective, one must first kill the NPC guards surrounding it. There are 6 NPCs, one of which is a hero level NPC, while the other five are champion level NPCs. A player from the attacking realm may capture the objective by interacting with the flag. The attacking realm must hold it for 3 minutes, during which the defending realm may retake it via a similar interaction. After 3 minutes, the objective is considered safe. Guards from the previously attacking realm spawn, and the objective cannot be taken for 15 minutes.

Keeps are a special form of battlefield objective. Keeps require sieging, and siege weapons can be placed on various siege pads. To capture the keep, an attacking realm must first break down any gates using rams, and then kill the keep lord. The keep lord is a lord level NPC and is surrounded by 4 champion level NPCs.

A guild can claim a keep or battlefield objective by placing their standard at it, in the case of keeps by placing it in the standard holders at the top of the keep. This gives them a steady stream of guild experience points.
