Basics

Territorial Wars are a large-scale PvP event available to all players. Regardless of whether a player is in a clan or whether the clan owns a castle, every player can take part in the battles as a mercenary.

All TW participants fight for control of territorial flags, which grant members of the castle-owning clan additional points to their base stats.

Event Time

Territorial Wars take place on Saturdays during siege weeks from 20:00 to 22:00 server time (UTC+2).

Registration

Registration closes 2 hours before the start of the battle.

Clans and individual players can take part in TW. However, if a player is in a clan registered to defend one territory, they cannot register individually to defend another territory.

Participation in TW is available to players level 40 and above. However, only players level 61 and above can complete quests and receive territory badges as rewards.

To register for territory defense, talk to the Mercenary Captain in the required city. Select the option “Register for the Territorial War” and choose the registration type — clan or mercenary.

Territory-owning clans are automatically registered to defend their territory. If you did not manage to register as an individual player, you can join a clan that is registered to participate.

Battlefield chat

20 minutes before the start, the Battlefield chat channel is activated. To send a message in this channel, enter the ^ symbol (Shift+6) in the chat.

Before combat begins, the channel is shared among all TW participants. After the start, messages in the channel are visible only to allies.

The combat chat is automatically disabled 10 minutes after the end of the Territorial Wars.

Start of TW

Territorial Wars begin at 20:00 server time (UTC+2).

After TW begins, the territory around castles becomes a combat zone. In the combat zone, all players, including dead ones, receive fame points at a rate of 125 points every 5 minutes.

Closed castle gates can be attacked. The Territory Ward and the Supplies Box are located inside the castle and can be captured.

Clan leaders participating in TW can place a tent or a flag in the combat zone.

Battle Rules

Players are divided into allies, enemies, and neutrals.

• Allies — members of the territory’s castle-owning clan, clans registered to defend this territory, and mercenaries
• Enemies — clans and mercenaries registered to defend another territory
• Neutrals — all players who are not registered to participate in TW

All TW participants are marked with their territory’s icon above the character.

Any character who leaves the combat zone becomes flagged for 120 seconds.

Attack conditions:

• In the combat zone, enemies and neutral players can be attacked without force attack
• Allies cannot be attacked even with force attack

TW and Mid-Company

Territorial Wars are also held for members of the Mid-Company and new castles. Their mechanics and shop items correspond to the regular TW, but there are several restrictions:

Registration:

• Clans that own castles will be automatically registered to defend their castle's territory
• A Mid-Company clan leader can register their clan for any castle — new or regular
• Individual registration for members of a Mid-Company clan is not available! The leader registers the entire clan
• Players (whether in a clan or solo) who are not part of the Mid-Company system CANNOT register for the territories of new castles

• While under the effect of the scroll, the character’s name changes to Guardian
• During the effect of the Stealth Scroll, it is not possible to open a personal shop or manufactory

Mercenary Transformation Scroll

Can be purchased in the city from the NPC Mercenary Captain. The scroll can be used by all participants of the Territorial Wars, except members of the castle-owning clan.

The scroll becomes available 20 minutes before the start of TW. The transformation effect lasts 30 minutes and is not canceled upon death.

A character transformed into a Mercenary does not gain EXP or SP. All characters in a party with the Mercenary also do not gain EXP or SP. The Mercenary transformation does not affect fame points.

Chaotic characters (PK) and Olympiad participants cannot use the Mercenary Transformation Scroll.

In the base version of Lineage 2, quests are available to advance Mercenary rank:

• Path to Becoming an Experienced Mercenary
• Path to Becoming a Top Elite Mercenary

Certificates for Experienced and Elite Mercenaries unlock access to a special selection of items from the Mercenary Captain and provide a discount on the main shop inventory.

On the MasterWork project, this Territorial Wars functionality is not available.

Territory Flags

At the start of the Territorial Wars, a Territory Flag appears in each castle.

• The defenders' task is to protect the Flag and prevent it from being taken to another castle
• The attackers' task is to capture the Flag and deliver it to the castle of their territory

The Flag can be delivered to a castle in two ways — carried on foot or cast onto your Outpost. After the cast completes, the Flag automatically moves to the Outpost owner's castle.

The Flag’s affiliation is displayed on the game map with the icon of the territory it belongs to.

The character carrying the Flag receives a penalty — all movement and attack speeds are reduced by 80%. The character cannot use teleportation skills or items. If the character carrying the Flag disconnects for any reason, the Flag drops to the ground at the location of disconnection.

After the Territorial Wars end, Flags remain in the castles where they were delivered. If at the end of TW a Flag is not in a castle, it automatically moves to the castle where it was last placed.

Owning a Flag grants the castle-owning clan a unique skill — Divine Protection of the Territory.

Related Quests

All characters registered to participate in the Territorial Wars automatically receive quests related to the selected territory at the start of the event.

All quests are available to characters level 40 and above who have reached their second class. However, quests for killing enemies are counted only when killing characters level 61 and above.

The amount of Territory War Badge NG received from the Territorial Wars depends on the number of targets completed in the quests.

Territory Badges

At the end of the Territorial Wars, speak with the Mercenary Captain in any city to receive rewards for completed quests — Territory War Badge NG .

Mid-Company participants can now collect Badges in any city, even after leaving the Mid-Company system.

If you do not collect the Badges before the next Territorial Wars, they will accumulate. The maximum amount that can be stored with the NPC Mercenary Captain is 250 Badges.

On MasterWork, Territorial Wars participants receive Badges without territory restrictions. You no longer need to register for specific lands to obtain the desired items!

In the base Lineage 2, Badges are unique to each territory. For example, defenders of Giran lands receive Giran Territory Badge NG as a reward for participation.

Badges can be spent on special items from the NPC Mercenary Captain and the NPC Territory Manager in any city.

Items for Territory Badges

Noblesse

Participating in the Territorial Wars is an alternative way to obtain Noblesse status. Collect 100 Badges and speak with the NPC Territory Manager in any city to become Noblesse.
