As with normal order wars a war lasts for 3 days with 3 rounds, each having a duration of 24 hours. Empty castles have a fixed defense value which is displayed in the overview. Players have to reach this value in order to conquer the castle by performing duels just like in a normal order war. For those duels the system will create NPC opponents just like in missions. The players themselves will not be attacked. While empty castles can be conquered they can not be pillaged.
The banner in the war status overview, unlike as with normal order wars, starts on the left and needs to be brought to the right side by the attacker to win. Should the order manage to bring the banner all the way to the right by the end of the war the conquest is successful. Should the order fail to do so it is – naturally – not.
In the next info post next week we will take a good look at the end
of an order war, concluding our step by step example order war.
Your Battleknight Team
- Each day you will get 5 snowballs in your loot box you can equip in your artefact slot.
- The snowballs are usable once each will be used automatically in the next duel (only PVP) after you equipped them.
- The effect of a snowball is a frost damage once at the beginning of a duel at about 50% of the total damage.
- Furthermore there’s a 50% chance that the snowball contains a rubin that the opponent player can pick up after he got hit by the snowball.
Who you’re going to throw the snowball at? That’s your decision!
Just like last year you can purchase the husky for silver in the shop during the whole event. Additionally you can get another step of the snowball achievement – even if you didn’t take part in the event last year.
But there’s more! The Battleknight Team has prepared a surprise for you which you will also find in your loot box.
The event starts on Tuesday, 11.12.2012 at around 0:30 UTC+1 and ends on 24.12.2012 around 0:30 UTC+1.
Enjoy the snow ball fight!

Read more about the Dragon Event!
The Event
There will be a new mission added in every area. Instead of clicking on the normal ball you will click on a grey dragon that will be flying over the landscape.
The grey dragons are very easy to kill since they are the easiest opponents! They carry a high amount of silver, and there is a chance for them to drop a rune - the new dragon scale as well as others.
Besides that one, one of the five chromatic dragon siblings will appear at a randomly chosen location. The location will be different from the traditional users location. The only exception is the first fight where the dragon will be found at the users location.
If the dragon is beaten, he will lose as many life points as you have spent mission points. If you win a battle you will get the same reward in silver as for the small grey dragons.
Every time the dragon is successfully beaten it will flee to a random location (the battle report will show how much HP the dragon lost and where he fled to), but the current location will be shown on the map as a small icon so you can find him at any time.
If the HP from the dragon is at zero (then he is beaten), it will drop a unique part of the dragon slayer set and a new chromatic dragon will appear (which will also drop a part of the dragon slayer set once he is beaten). You can do this until you beat all five siblings or the event is finished.
Rewards
What can you get? First, we would like to refer you to the dragon slayer set. Every chromatic dragon will drop a part of this set if you beat him, but you can also buy it in the shop. Set bonus: All elementary damage you do is increased by 10% due to you transforming into a dragon during the battle. Battle reports will show a white or a black dragon instead of your portrait, depending on your karma.
All dragon slayer set items can also be found via level five clues! The set is complete with the
- Dragon slayer helmet
- Dragon slayer armor
- Dragon slayer chausses
- Dragon slayer shield
- Dragon slayer blade
We will also implement new runes. These runes are called "dragon scales" and can be obtained by killing the small, grey dragons. After the event they will also be available at the marketplace.
- Whelp’s scale (from level 40): +2 defence, +2 hit chance
- Sickle Scale (from level 55): damage 6-8, armour 8
- Chromatic Scale (from level 75): 5 for all elementary damages
- If your level is not high enough for the scales a normal rune can be dropped
Achievements
As already mentioned you can earn two achievements. If you have beaten the five dragon siblings you will earn the achievement "Lord of the Five".
The achievement “Dragon Slaughterer” is multilevel:
- Level 1: 3 grey dragons
- Level 2: 10 grey dragons
- Level 3: 50 grey dragons
- Level 4: 100 grey dragons
- Level 5: 500 grey dragons
In case we repeat the event, this achievement will continue to be credited from the point where it stopped during the last event.
We hope you will enjoy this amazing event! At the end of the week we’ll let you know the event start date.

Soon…. very soon the time arrives and the five siblings of the dragons will fly over Caldean. Something has disturbed their deep sleep…. they came flying over from Talfour… and they are hungry.
September and October are the dragon months in Battleknight. This event will start together with the update of v1.3.0 and will last for three weeks. Small and big dragons are waiting for you! By doing special missions to kill the big dragons you can drop the parts of a special dragon slayer set. This set is also available in the shop and you can find the items with the level five clues! By killing the small, grey dragons you can drop new runes - the dragon scales – that can also be bought at the marketplace later. To make this event even more exciting you can reach the two achievements “Lord of the Five” and “Dragon Slaughterer”!
Within the next days we’ll provide more information about this event and we’ll post the changelog for v.1.3.0. As several server merges are in process at the moment, we can’t put v1.3.0 & the event online in all nations at the same time. As soon as possible we will announce the definite date for all nations!
The rise of the dragons is close… Are you prepared?

the 2012 Summer Olympic Games will start today, 27th July. The emperor of the Greek empire sends his most loyal mounts to the great Olympics! These winged guardians safely get every knight to their destination.
“Pegasus” is as fast as lightning, can perform air fights and loot silver. He fights in flight and his battle report is the air fight.
Don’t miss this amazing winged guardian! Pegasus will be available in the shop for half the price only for a short time, from Monday 30th of July onwards.
We wish you a lot of fun!
