Guild Tournament: Introducing Gathering Mode in Orebound Valley!

Heroes, get ready for a new challenge! The upcoming Guild Tournament introduces Gathering, a brand-new mode that puts your guild's teamwork and coordination to the test.

How to Win

Gather enough ore to reach the required point total, or outscore the opposing guild before the round ends.

Collecting Ore

Ore carts will appear across the map at regular intervals. Once a cart spawns, you'll need to wait 10 seconds before you can start collecting its ore. But don't let your guard down! Mining and loading ore take time, giving your opponents plenty of opportunities to disrupt your efforts. Of course, you can return the favor! Stealing ore from enemy players also earns your guild points.

Each type of ore is worth a different number of points:

• Copper Ore – 50 points

• Silver Ore – 100 points

• Gold Ore – 150 points

Delivering Ore

Mining ore is only half the battle! To score points, you'll need to deliver your haul to one of your guild's crates. Scattered across the map are five BLUE crates belonging to your guild and five RED crates belonging to the opposing guild.

But these crates won't last forever! Each ore delivery reduces a crate's durability based on the number of points deposited. Once its durability reaches zero, the crate is destroyed and disappears from the map, leaving you with one fewer place to deposit your ore.

Dangers and Tactics

Getting your precious cargo to safety won't be easy!

• Carrying comes at a cost. Picking up ore applies a Copper Load, Silver Load, or Gold Load effect, increasing the damage you take.

• Your haul is never safe until it's delivered. If you die while carrying ore, you'll drop all of it. Anyone can pick it up, whether they're an ally or an enemy!

• Watch the bushes! Players hidden in dense vegetation become invisible, making it the perfect cover for an ambush.
  
  

Spawn Islands and Portals

Each guild starts on its own island, with a short preparation phase before the battle begins.

Once the preparation phase ends, portals will open around the edges of the island, providing access to different parts of Orebound Valley. Each portal leads to a corresponding area of the valley: the northern portal takes you north, the southern portal takes you south, and so on.

Protect your teammates, beat your rivals to valuable ore deposits, seize every opportunity to steal their haul, and lead your guild to victory!

Good luck, and may your guild strike gold!
