Battlegrounds
No longer will you have to wait until level 15 to be able to enjoy the thrill of fighting against other players in Dark Age of Camelot battlegrounds - now you can do it from day one of your character's existence.
- Players can use the portal ceremonies at the border keeps in their home realm to port into the battlegrounds using the Battleground Medallion of Passage. The names and level ranges of the battlegrounds are as follows:
- 1 - 4 Proving Grounds
- 5 - 9 The Lions Den
- 10 - 14 The Hills of Claret
- 15 - 19 Killaloe
- 20 - 24 Thidranki
- 25 - 29 Braemar
- 30 - 34 Wilton
- 35 - 39 Molvik
- 40 - 44 Leirvik
- Teleportation into a battleground will not check for a realm point cap for players to gain admittance into that battleground.
- Players will not earn realm points in the first three battlegrounds - Proving Grounds, The Lions Den, and The Hills of Claret.
- Players will be able to earn realm points in each of the remaining battlegrounds, however, there will be a limit to the number of realm points players can earn in each battleground. After they have reached this limit, killing other enemy players will not grant any more realm points (players will still be able to participate in that battleground until they exceed the level cap). The realm point limits for the battlegrounds are as follows:
- Realm Rank 1 Level 3 - Killaloe
- Realm Rank 1 Level 4 - Thidranki
- Realm Rank 1 Level 6 - Braemar
- Realm Rank 2 Level 0 - Wilton
- Realm Rank 2 Level 5 - Molvik
- Realm Rank 3 Level 0 - Leirvik
- Players who log out in a battleground not designed for their level will be placed in the appropriate border keep.
- Newly created characters entering the game for the first time have a Proving Grounds medallion of passage equipped on the character.
- The first three battlegrounds have reduced prices for their medallions of passage. Note that existing Medallions of Passage will also take players in this level range to the appropriate battleground.
- 1 copper - Proving Grounds medallion of passage
- 1 silver - The Lions Den medallion of passage
- 5 silver - The Hills of Claret medallion of passage
- Experience rewards have been added which will be granted upon the successful keep capture in the battlegrounds from levels 1-44. Upon successfully killing the Keep Lord/Jarl/Chieftain, every eligible player inside the keep region will be awarded approximately 25% of their level in experience. This experience reward can be earned once per level for every level, up to level 44.
