The Championship Event 2014!

The Championship Event 2014!​

The Championship Event 2014 - from 28th June until 14th July, 2014

​

What are the start and end dates of the event?

The event will start at 12 noon (local server time) on 28th June and will end at 12 noon (local server time) on 14th July. The event will be split up into the following phases:

During the event there will be 5 different phases where the following national ship NPCs will sail around:

• Group qualifiers: 28th June – 2nd July
  
• Quarter-finalists: 4th July – 6th July
  
• Semi-finalists: 8th July – 10th July
  
• 3rd / 4th playoff teams: 12th July – 13th July
  
• World Cup finalists: 13th July – 14th July!

National ship NPCs of the soccer teams that are in these rounds of the real World Cup will sail around during the above times. Therefore, all the teams who managed to qualify from the groups stages of the World Cup will sail around during the first few days of the event (28th June – 2nd July). The teams who win their knockout round games will sail around during the next phases until there are just two NPC ships sailing around for the dates of the World Cup final (from 13th July until 14th July).

What rewards can I get from shooting the national NPCs?

All nation designs will give Experience Points as a reward as well as items, such as football ammo, Triton’s Blessing or Black Powder, depending on how much damage you cause. With each phase, the amount you get will improve. From the semi-final stage onwards you will also be able to get some pearls as a reward depending on how much damage you have caused.

Game Designer hint: The national ship NPCs can be shot with gold and therefore we recommend you use gold ammo to sink them. Using gold ammo will preserve your precious pearl ammo and give you a higher return on investment as gold ammo is much easier to get hold of! We have even put a small buff on gold ammo so that you will cause more damage than usual against the national ship NPCs.
In addition, the player who causes the most damage will have a chance of winning the ship design of the national ship NPC they are shooting at.

Game Designer hint: Don’t forget that in each new phase, only the real-life World Cup teams that qualify for the next round will be available to shoot on the sea chart! Therefore, if you want to try and win as many of the designs as possible, it would make sense to try and shoot the national ship NPCs of the team you think will be knocked out of that round.

What else will happen during the event?

During the entire event the Champion Ship NPC will sail over all PvP maps. The Champion Ship is very rare and can only be shot with Pearl ammo. Rewards include Pearls, Crystals and Experience Points, depending on how much damage you cause against it. The rewards from the Champion Ship will stay the same throughout the event.
Soccer Ammo can be purchased in the Black Market and will cause extra damage against the Champion Ship and national ship NPCs.

What stats do the ship designs have?

All ship designs will have the following stats (no matter what Elite Level you are):

• Bonus Damage: 5%
  
• Harpoon Damage: 10%
  
• Bonus Hit Points: 5,000
  
• Bonus Voodoo Points: 5,000
  
• There is also an additional 30% Experience Point bonus!

Game Designer hint: Although the ships aren’t that powerful right now, don’t forget you will soon be able to use them with better stats once milestone 2 of the Transmogrification system is live!

Can you purchase these designs?

The national ship NPCs look the same as the ones from 4 years ago, however they are different designs as they have different statistics.
