RvR Quartermaster System
The RvR Quartermasters are "Barter" merchants who will trade players special items and equipment in exchange for specific items earned in RvR. These Quartermasters offer players an alternative way of obtaining items in RvR such as the item sets normally obtained via Keep PQ bags. In addition the RvR Quartermasters will offer exclusive items and rewards not obtainable elsewhere.
System Goals
- Incentive RvR performance and participation
- Further expansion of RvR rewards, including specific "Disposable" or "Renewable" items that help RvR performance
- Award all players that participate in various RvR activities regardless of contribution or luck
- Provide players with an alternative path to gaining items that gate later content
- Help offset "Bad Luck", allowing players to obtain items they may not have gotten out of PQ's due to unlucky rolls
Medallions & Crests - RvR Currency
Medallions are the basic currency of the Quartermaster system. There are two basic types of Medallions they are
Common Medallions
Common Medallions are the basic barter currency used in the system. These are the medallions that are handed out frequently and in larger quantities for most RvR events. Players will use common medallion types to purchase lower level equipment and disposable items throughout their RvR play experience. In addition common medallions will be required as part of the purchase cost for unique powerful items.
Common medallions are awarded in Tier 1 through Tier 4 and come in 4 types
- Recruit's Medallion
- Tier 1 RvR Medallion, 5 recruit medallions can be exchanged for 1 Scout's Medallion
- Scout's Medallion
- Tier 2 RvR medallion, 5 scout medallions can be exchanged for 1 Soldier's Medallion
- Soldier's Medallion
- Tier 3 RvR medallion, 5 soldier medallions can be exchanged for 1 Officer's Medallion
- Officer's Medallion
- Tier 4 RvR, 1 officer medallion will convert into 125 recruit medallions.
Rare Crests
Rare crests are awarded less frequently and from very specific events. These Rare medallions are used in combination with common medallions to purchase powerful endgame items. The types of Rare medallions are:
- Conqueror's Crest
- T4 Campaign & Fortress Medallions. 1 Conqueror crest can be exchanged for 5 Officer medallions
- Invader's Crest
- Early City Siege Crests. 1 Invader Crest can be exchanged for 5 Conqueror Crests.
- Warlord's Crest
- Advanced City Siege Crests. 1 Warlord Crest can be exchanged for 5 Invader Crest.
- Royal Crest
- Endgame RvR Medallions. Royal medallion can be exchanged for 5 Warlord Medallions.
Earning Medallions & Crests
There are numerous ways to earn medallions in each Tier, in the below section we will cover the most common ways of doing so.
Player kills
Every player kill has a fairly reasonable chance to drop a medallion appropriate to that players level, this medallion can then be rolled on by group members participating in the kill (or master looted). This will occur in an RvR situation including outside of the oRvR areas and in scenarios. Below are the level ranges for player dropped Medallions
- Rank 1 - 10 : Recruit's Medallions
- Rank 11 - 20 : Scout's Medallions
- Rank 21 - 34 : Soldier's Medallions
- Rank 35 - 40 : Officer's Medallions
In addition High realm rank players have a small chance of dropping rare crests in addition to their normal common Medallions drops. Killing a high RR player could possibly result in multiple rare and common Medallions awarded!
- Realm Rank 41+ : Conqueror's Crests
- Realm Rank 51+ : Invader's Crests
- Realm Rank 61+ : Warlord's Crests
- Realm Rank 71+ : Royal Crests
Keep Capture
ANY player who participates in a keep capture will be rewarded 2 common medallions appropriate for that tier content. Players who win a PQ bag will have the choice of taking the item out of the bag or a medallion reward instead. Players who do not win a PQ bag will automatically be awarded medallions directly into their inventory.
Zone Capture
ANY player who participates in a Zone capture will be rewarded 5 common medallions appropriate for that tier content. Players who are credited with participating in the capture of keeps / BO's will earn additional medallions when the zone is captured. These rewards are as follows
- +1 Common Medallion per BO
- +1 Common Medallion per Keep
Tier 4 Campaign
Rank 40+ players will gain rare Crests for participating in the T4 Campaign and unlocking the capitol cities this includes the following
- 1 Conqueror Crest per T4 zone captured (rank 40+ players only)
Fortress Capture / Defense
All players will be awarded Rare Conqueror Crests for participating in a Fortress Capture or Defense. Just like keeps these will be awarded directly to the player if they do not win a PQ bag or available as an option to players who win bags.
- 1 Conqueror Crest per successful Fortress Capture
- 1 Conqueror Crest per successful Fortress Defense
City Invasion
Capitol City Invasion rewards a number of different Rare Crests depending on what part of the City Invasion you participate in. Generally these rewards work just like Fortress and Keep rewards and are automatically awarded to the player at the end of a PQ.
- Main City PQ (Invasion Stage) - 1 Invader's Crest per completion
- Warlord City PQ's (Sack Stage) - 1 Warlord's Crest per completion
