Battlegrounds

Battlegrounds is a PvP minigame where eight players compete for map dominance in a game of Capture the Flag. Every match lasts until a team reaches 1000 points, or until the time limit of 30 minutes runs out.

How it Works
You can join the PvP Battlegrounds queue via the Activities tab. You can queue up alone, or in a party of two.

Upon joining, you will be randomly assigned to either the Gold or Blue team. If you entered as a team, you and your friend will be placed in the same team.


 * Your inventory is cleared of any items except for equipment and your mount. Once the game is over, your items will be returned.
 * All classes will be scaled to level 30+0, including armor and weapons.
 * Higher-level talents are unlocked for the duration of the game. Choose them at the beginning of every match if you haven't reached level 30 yet.
 * Global voice chat is turned on, but you can only hear your teammates.

Capturing Flags
You and your teammates must fight the opposing players to maintain your team's flag on each of the outposts. For each outpost held, your team will score a certain number of points per second and the first team to get 1000 points wins the battle.

An enemy flag can be captured by standing next to it for a while. It will turn white (neutral) first, before changing color to your team's color.

Pillars of colored light indicate the positions of the four flags, and the team currently holding the outpost.

Killing Players
Killing players from the enemy team does not award any points towards the match, but like in Overworld PvP, will give you Honor Points that count towards your PvP rank.

The usual PvP etiquette applies.

Bugs and Glitches
Fix at the beginning of the match:

If you notice any of these bugs, or your teammates tell you that you're glitched, close the game and restart it again to fix them before continuing.


 * Your inventory is completely empty, and you can't pull out your mount.
 * You are invisible to other players, or invincible.

Bannable:
 * Not fixing your own invisibility or invincibility
 * Skywalking and teleporting through walls on purpose

Not bannable:
 * Runemage spells lie about their location. Their true position does not need to be where they appear visually.
 * The render distance on Quest is shorter than on PC. Arrows and spells fired from out of Quest render distance are invisible to Quest players.

Further Notes

 * Marlowe's PvP missions stack very well and many can be completed at once.
 * You can queue up in a party of 2. The two of you will be guaranteed to be in the same team, and will be prioritized over single players who queued up.
 * At a certain distance, Quest users only see blue-orbs in place of players and can't tell which team the player belongs to.
