Capture the Chest!

Capture the Chest!​

Welcome to the Capture the Chest Map, a new high-stakes PvP experience set within the epic Raid Map!

This isn’t your standard raid – there are no NPCs to worry about.

Just you, your rivals, and one massive chest packed with loot.

Below you’ll find everything you need to know to become a master of the hunt:​

What is the Capture the Chest Map?

It’s a Permanent PvP Raid Map with no NPCs – only a single large Chest appears in the center of the map.

Your goal? Be the first to capture the Chest by staying inside its area of effect for 15 uninterrupted seconds.

The catch? If you take any damage or leave the zone, your capture attempt fails.

Any kills within the map will award extra Battle Points.

Once you capture the Chest, any of your guild member that is in the map will also get some rewards!
​

How does the Chest Spawn?

The Chest appears every 4 hours throughout the day.

15 minutes before it spawns, you’ll see:

• A server-wide announcement notifying all players.
• A visible Event Ticker countdown.

Once the timer hits zero, the Chest appears in a random location within the map surrounded by a capture zone.
​

How do I capture the Chest?

Enter the capture zone (the area around the chest).

You’ll see a visual effect showing you're the current capturer.

Only one player can capture at a time (the first to enter).

If you are hit or leave the area, your capture attempt resets.

You must stay uninterrupted for 15 seconds to succeed (or longer if you’ve captured before – see buffs below).
​

What if I wasn’t the first one in?

• If you're the second player to enter the zone, you must deal damage to the first player to interrupt their capture.
• Once they’re interrupted, you become the active capturer.
• If you're the third (or later) player in the zone, you must wait until all players currently ahead of you have been interrupted by damage or leave the zone.
  • Capturing is always passed to the next player in line who hasn’t been damaged and is still in the zone.

Capturing Rules Recap:

• Capture takes 15 uninterrupted seconds (more if you have the Hunter's Smell Buff).
• Getting hit or leaving the capture zone resets your attempt and removes your capture status.
• The last undamaged player in the zone takes over the capture attempt when the current one is interrupted.

What happens if I capture it?

Congratulations! You:​

• You instantly receive the Capture Loot.
• You gain +1 Capture towards your Hall of Fame stats and Milestone progress.
• Any of your guild members on the map at the time you capture the chest are awarded some loot!
• You receive the Hunter’s Smell Buff (see below):
  • This buff stacks each time you capture the Chest.
  • Each stack lasts 24 hours from the time it was earned.
  • For every stack, your next capture attempt takes +5 seconds to complete.
    • Example:
      • 1 stack = 20s to capture
      • 2 stacks = 25s to capture
      • 3 stacks = 30s, etc.

What buffs are involved?

Hunter’s Smell Buff



Earned each time you capture a chest.
Stacks with each capture.
Each stack adds +5 seconds to the required capture time for future attempts.
Each stack lasts 24 hours from the moment it’s earned.
​

Example:

You capture a chest at 12:00 PM, you gain 1 stack until 12:00 PM the next day.

If you capture again at 3:00 PM, you’ll have 2 stacks, both expiring at 3:00 PM the next day.
​

Chest Full of Wonders Buff



Grants a higher chance at rare loot.
Automatically applied when opening the chest.
