| Opens | Not open yet · days and hours to be announced |
| Pays | 40 WoE Coin/castle/siege for 15 min inside · Weekly Quest credit |
There is one in Veins too, but Veins is sealed — there is currently no way in.
⏰ The siege schedule#
No sieges yet. Open beta runs without sieges; the castles stay closed until the first scheduled night. The nights, the hours and which tier runs on each will be posted in Patch Notes once they are fixed.
⚔️ The two tiers#
| Tier | Castles | Regions |
|---|---|---|
| WoE 1 | 20 | Valkyrie (Prontera) · Luina (Al De Baran) · Britoniah (Geffen) · Greenwood (Payon) |
| WoE 2 | 10 | Arunafeltz · Schwaltzvalt |
Five castles per region; WoE 2 adds the two Second-Edition regions to the classic four.
🎯 Participation#
Time spent inside a castle, not kills. Stay 15 minutes inside one WoE 1 castle during a siege and you earn, once per castle per account per day:
- 40 WoE Coin, account-bound, claimed after the siege from the WoE Participation NPC (location to be confirmed before WoE opens)
- Credit toward the Weekly Quest War of Emperium task (2 a week = 10 Weekly Points)
The timer pauses after one minute idle and tells you so. WoE 2 castles do not track participation yet.
🔁 Job Switch during the siege#
Settle your class before the bell. While WoE is running, the Job Switch cooldown goes from 5 seconds to 30 minutes, and it only works in town.
🚫 Items that do not work in a castle#
Refused on WoE and castle maps — castles count at all times, not only during a siege, so no pre-buffing at the gates. A refused item is not used up.
| Item | Blocked in |
|---|---|
| Authoritative Badge | WoE |
| Level 10 Increase Agility Scroll | WoE and PvP |
| Level 10 Blessing Scroll | WoE and PvP |
| Kafra Card (every version) | WoE |
| Boarding Halter | WoE and PvP |
| Malangdo Special Can | WoE and PvP |
| Inside-out Shirt | WoE and PvP |
| Eden Group Token | WoE and PvP |
- The two scrolls (event copies too) are also refused in every PvP room, the PvP lobbies and the Moonlight Mayhem arenas. They still work on Battlegrounds and on the open-PK maps. The RWC arenas are GvG maps, so the scrolls are refused there as well.
- Pecopeco Hairband still works, but its movement speed does not — the attack speed and casting bonuses stay, and the speed comes back as soon as you leave.
A buff you started before walking in keeps running for its full time — only using the item in the castle is blocked.
🏆 Rankings#
A most-kills board runs alongside the participation tracking.
🏰 What else settles at the bell#
The Guild Dungeon prize pool is meant to pay out when a siege ends — castle purses and a participation war chest — but the Guild Raid is suspended for now, so nothing settles.
