If you beat the defending team in an Ether Castle battle, your alliance will take over the Ether Castle and the alliance sign above your head will flash different colors!

1. After dominating Gaap Lands, Gallio Kingdom or Ziminian Domain for over 48 hours, the dominating alliance leader will get a Proof of Dominance from the current Local Agent.

2. After getting the Proof Of Dominance, you can register at the Ether Castle Agent, and bid to queue.

The register time is from 20:00 WED to 24:00 THU.

The first time you have to pay 1000G to bid. Each time you can pay another 1000G. The bidding limit is 200,000G.

The alliance that paid the most bidding fee will get the chance to challenge the Ether Castle.

The rest of the bidders will still be in the queue.

If there are two or more alliances that paid the same bidding fee, the earlier one will have the chance.

In any circumstances, the bidding fee will not be returned.

3. After a challenging Alliance has been selected, the Ether Castle territory war will be taking place between 18:00 to 21:00 SAT.

During 18:00 to 19:00, each time the alliance leader gets online, he will get a system message to activate the Territory War.

If the Alliance Leader choose to start the war, all alliance members will be teleported into the Battlefield. You can either choose to enter the battlefield at the Ether Castle Agent.

The current dominator of Ether Castle will also get the teleportation message.

If the challenging alliance leader did activate the war during 18:00~19:00, the war will be started at 19:00.

The dominating alliance leader of the Ether Castle will get 50 tradable EC Friendly Pass during 00:00~17:00 SAT. A neutral player can enter the battlefield as a mercenary of the defending side with the EC Friendly Pass.

A neutral player can also enter the battlefield war as a mercenary of the attacking side.

All neutral players who entered the battlefield will have a "Mercenary" prefix before their names.

4. The battlefield will be Ether Castle. Each side has an own starting point. Their goals are to eliminate the protector of the opponent side.

The attacking side can take the Ether Castle by defeating Zaax.

The defending side can hold the Castle by defeating Grongon.

They also have to keep at least one of the normal territories.

If the defending side defeated the attacking side, but lost all their normal territories, the Ether Castle will become unoccupied.

When the Ether Castle is not in war time, even the dominating alliance lost all their normal territories, they still have the dominance over Ether Castle.

If the dominating alliance of the Ether Castle changed its leader or get dismissed, they will lose their dominance.

The defeated side will only be able to enter the war again next week as mercenaries. They can only start another territory war the week after next week.

5. During peace time, the Dominating alliance can make preparations for incoming war.

The defending alliance can deploy as many as 50 Heaven Arrow Towers to help defend the castle. Use the Ancient Engineer Shovel, which can be obtained from Ethermaid of Cloud, on each construction spot to build.

The defending alliance can build 4 resource structures in their garden. These structures will automatically boost vital resources for war upgrades.

All structures might be destroyed during war. The attacking soldiers can get items or money from the droppings.

After the war ended, if there is a new dominator, all structures will be removed; if the defending side won, all structures will be kept.
