<!--T:41-->
== Commands ==
{| class="wikitable"
! Command !! Purpose
|-
| <code>@go bg</code> || Travel to the BG lobby.
|-
| <code>@joinbg</code> || Join the current mode with Hero's Heirloom in your inventory.
|-
| <code>@listenbg 0</code> || Enable BG announcements.
|-
| <code>@listenbg 1</code> || Disable BG announcements.
|-
| <code>@listenbg 2</code> || Receive BG announcements during Happy Hour only.
|-
| <code>@bgrank</code> || Show the leading players and your own lifetime fame points.
|-
| <code>@reportafk Character Name</code> || Remove an already flagged AFK teammate. This is available to team members.
|-
| <code>@voteskip</code> || Vote to skip the current waiting mode. Four votes are required. Each account has a ten minute voting cooldown and voting is unavailable during a match.
|}
Team leaders can use <code>@guildskill</code> and <code>@guildskillinfo</code>, send a team announcement with <code>@order Message</code> and transfer leadership with <code>@leader Character Name</code>.
BG announcements are off by default for players without a saved preference. Existing saved preferences are retained. The Settings NPC also provides the BG Announcements setting. Using <code>@listenbg</code> without a value displays the available options and current mode.
== Team balancing ==
Initial team assignment balances team sizes and classes. Late joiners are directed toward the smaller side. Automatic rebalancing also handles uneven teams during Capture the Flag, Stone Control, Team Deathmatch, Bossnia, Domination and Double Inferno.
If one side remains at least two players larger for 15 seconds, the next eligible player respawning on that side switches teams. Transfers stop when the difference is at most one player. A player who switches has a 60 second cooldown before another transfer. Pending joins can cancel a transfer.
Rebalancing uses player counts. It can separate party or guild members onto opposing BG teams. Team scores and personal statistics are retained and rewards follow the player's team at the end of the match. Players who are still alive continue on their current side, so teams can remain uneven until an eligible respawn occurs.
This rebalance is disabled for Conquest, Rush, Poring Ball, Bomberman and the standalone novice soccer event.
<!--T:42-->
== Ranking ==
== Ranking ==
The top ranked player in Battlegrounds is now displayed in Neustadt {{#navi:neustadt|182|141}} next to the top ranked player for WoE TE and WoE SE.
The leading lifetime BG player is displayed in Neustadt at {{#navi:neustadt|182|143}} beside the WoE ranking NPCs. The BG display refreshes every hour at minute 30.


<!--T:43-->
[[File:woebg1.png]]
[[File:woebg1.png]]


The NPCs in Neustadt will wear the same costumes and styles as the players.
<!--T:44-->
The ranking display copies the leading character's saved appearance.


To view the leaderboard and your current rank use the '''@bgrank''' command. You can earn fame by completing battleground objectives.
<!--T:45-->
Use <code>@bgrank</code> to view the leaders and your lifetime fame points. Fame comes from combat mode results and objectives. It is separate from the badges or coins used for rewards.


== Gameplay ==
<!--T:46-->
As you step into this arena, each participant is bestowed with the coveted "BG Powerup," a potent enhancement granting a significant boost of +30 to all stats along with the invaluable Guyak effect.
=== Check stats ===
[[File:Check Battle Stat Performance.jpg|frameless]][[File:Check info char.jpg|frameless]][[File:BG Performance display.jpg|frameless]]


<!--T:47-->
Right-click a character and select Check Equipment, then Battleground Stats. Their recorded BG performance is shown in the chat box.
<!--T:48-->
=== Website rankings and match history ===
The ranking system tracks lifetime totals, monthly standings and match history:
* [https://muhro.eu/flux/?module=bgstats&action=index Lifetime BG rankings]
* [https://muhro.eu/flux/?module=bgstats&action=monthly Monthly BG rankings]
* [https://muhro.eu/flux/?module=bgstats&action=history BG match history]
Monthly rankings use completed recorded matches grouped by their completion month in UTC. Lifetime totals do not reset at the start of a month. Match details include teams, results, fame and recorded combat or objective statistics.
Match history includes only recorded matches. Older lifetime totals cannot be converted into past match records. Standalone scripted events outside the BG queue are excluded. <code>@bgrank</code> and the website show full fame values even when a native client ranking window reaches its display limit.
<!--T:49-->
== Gameplay and preparation ==
<!--T:50-->
=== BG powerup ===
Combat BG arenas provide a powerup with +30 STR, AGI, VIT, INT, DEX and LUK plus increased movement speed.
<!--T:51-->
=== Additional buffs ===
[[File:Master of buff.jpg|frameless]][[File:Heirloom bg.jpg|frameless]]
[[File:Master of buff.jpg|frameless]][[File:Heirloom bg.jpg|frameless]]


In the vast array of diverse builds, there may arise occasions where a particular buff crucial to your strategy is absent. Fear not, for a solution awaits at the Master of Buffs. Here, amidst the myriad options, you are empowered to select a singular enhancement to complement your battle tactics. Approach the Master and claim the revered Hero's Heirloom, granting you the boon necessary to bolster your arsenal and confront any challenge that dares to stand in your path.
<!--T:52-->
The Master of Buffs at {{#navi:bat_room|154|162}} provides {{#item:50082}} for free and lets you choose one buff preset. The heirloom has a 60 second cooldown and is required to join the queue.
 
=== PvP rental equipment ===
Erundek at {{#navi:bat_room|160|150}} offers 108 fixed rental items for PvP, Battlegrounds and WoE/GvG. Choose PvP rental equipment to assemble a free set or rent extra parts with {{#item:7773}}.
 
==== Free set and renewal ====
Each character can claim one free part per equipment slot during a 30-day rental period. Choose parts individually through Choose free set parts.
* Your first successful free claim starts the 30-day period. All later free parts expire at that same time.
* After the period expires you can choose another free set.
* Two-handed weapons use both free hand slots. Headgear covering several positions uses each of those slots.
* You can choose one free accessory for each accessory slot. Classes capable of dual wielding can choose a suitable offhand weapon using the left-hand allowance.
* Free choices cannot be exchanged during the period. Deleting or losing a rental does not restore its free slot.
 
==== Extra rental parts ====
Choose Rent extra parts for additional equipment. Each extra part lasts 30 days from purchase. Buying extras does not use your free slots or change your free set's renewal date.
 
{| class="wikitable"
! Equipment category !! Cost per extra part
|-
| Weapon || 100x {{#item:7773}}
|-
| Armor or shield || 80x {{#item:7773}}

|-

|-
| Shadow equipment || 80x {{#item:7773}}
|}
 
==== Class build selections ====
Both the free and paid menus offer Browse all equipment or Choose from a class build. A class build filters the available parts; you still select and receive one part at a time. The following 12 builds are available:
 
{| class="wikitable"
! Class !! Build
|-
| Genetic || Cart Cannon
|-
| Warlock || Jack Frost
|-
| Rune Knight || Dragon Breath
|-
| Royal Guard || Devotion
|-
| Ranger || Aiming Bolt

|-
| Sura || Gate of Hell
|-
| Star Emperor || Solar Burst
|-
| Ninja || Cross Slash
|-
| Rebel || Fire Dance
|-
| Super Novice || Psychic Wave
|}
 
Browse all equipment also includes defensive, support and custom choices. Choose gear your character can equip: the full catalog is not filtered by your class. The shield choices include VIT, DEX, INT and STR variants.
 
==== Rental restrictions ====
* Rentals are character-bound. They cannot be traded, transferred to another character or deposited in storage, including shared storage.
* Refine levels and card/enchant bonuses are fixed. You cannot refine, grade, socket, enchant or add random options to the equipment.
* The listed card and enchant effects are already built into each preset. Set bonuses require the matching rental pieces and their applicable refine requirements.
* Rentals can only be equipped in eligible PvP, BG and WoE/GvG areas. Your class restrictions and the arena's equipment rules still apply.
* Entering a town or PvE map automatically unequips the gear. It stays in your inventory and must be equipped again when you return to an eligible area. Starting a duel on an ordinary map does not make the gear usable there.
 
<!--T:54-->
=== Supplies ===
[[File:Telma.jpg|frameless]][[File:War Badge.jpg|frameless]]
 
<!--T:55-->
Prepare your potions, gems and other supplies before joining. Telma at {{#navi:bat_room|160|148}} exchanges {{#item:7773}} for Siege supply bundles. Leaving a match to restock can incur the rejoin penalty.

== Rewards and shops ==

The table shows base rewards for queued BG matches before Happy Hour or VIP adjustments. Bossnia also adds three War Badges for each enemy boss your team defeats. Reward amounts depend on the mode and result, rather than completion of separate quests.

== Costumes ==
{{:PVP Costumes}}
 
The PvP Slot Machine is currently disabled. Its former prize table is not an available reward route.
 
== Feedback and conduct reports ==
Use the private PvP/BG feedback system for balance suggestions, bugs and conduct reports:
* <code>@bgfeedback</code> or <code>@pvpfeedback</code>: submit a balance suggestion or bug report.
* <code>@pvpreport</code>: report a player and describe the incident.
* <code>@pvpstatus</code>: check recent submissions, staff replies and notices.
* [https://muhro.eu/flux/?module=pvp&action=index PvP/BG feedback page]: submit feedback and follow its status using your Master Account login.
 
Include the mode, approximate time, character names and steps to reproduce a problem. Staff can request more information, accept a suggestion, plan it, mark it implemented or decline it. Submissions and staff replies are private to the author and authorized staff. The forum remains available through the relevant suggestion, bug report and support sections.
 
The chat monitor flags configured language patterns in public and team chat sent from competitive areas, as well as the public #pvp and #battleground channels. Flagged text and limited surrounding context are sent for staff review. A language match may trigger a private rules reminder; it does not automatically mute or ban a player. Private whispers are outside this monitor. Report behavior such as feeding or sabotage with <code>@pvpreport</code> so staff can assess the context.
