PvP

No man

## General Information

**PvP**, also known as Player vs. Player is a game style that can be turned on once you've reached the Graveyard. You can get to the **PvP** area by traversing the Assassin Maze. (You can find a guide through the maze by clicking on the link)

**NOTE: STILL BEING UPDATED.**

### Inhabitants

Level 65 Zombie's, Level 75 Skeleton's Level 80 Skeleton Archer's Level 95 Skeleton Warrior's and Players.

### **How to begin:**

To start **PvP** the player must first make their way to the Graveyard. Once here, you will notice that you have a new button on your display to the left of your **Chat** button that looks like two swords crossing similar to a skull and crossbones. Click this and the following will appear: **"Do you want to attack other players?"** You then have three options to choose from: **"Yes,"** **"Cursed"** or "**No**." If you click the "**Yes**" option, you will be free to attack any player that you choose. Hitting another player gives you a **White Skull,** but the color changes if you keep on killing other players (see **Skull colors** below). The final color is black, and when you reach it a bounty is set on you, with a message sent in server chat with your username and the amount of tha bounty. By choosing the option, "**Cursed**," this allows you to attack only players that have a skull. Clicking the "**No**" option will simply close the **HUD**.

NOTE: You must have Gold equal to (150x your **Base Level)** in order to PvP. This gives the other opponent the option to win your Gold if they kill you. The same goes for them. For more tips, check out the Rucoy Online Guide

### **Bounties:**

Bounties come from cursed gold, that will equal to the gold needed to get a certain skull wich can be calculed very simply with this formula:

Bx50x3

**B equals to the player base level.**

**x3 aplyes per kill.**

According to this, a level 1 player would need 4050 gold to get a black skull, since:

1x50x3 = 150 to gold skull, then 150x3 = 450 to go orange, then 450x3 = 1,350 to go red, and finally, 1350x3 4050 to go black, it can still go on, but skull will keep being the same as long as the player doesnt get slaughtered by another player. If someone in the server gets a blck skull, in normal conditions, a message will appear in the chat notifying the hunt.

### **Strategies/Combo's:**

The **strategy** you use is based solely on the player. One of the main **combo's** you can perform is by striking the opponent and preparing to heal right afterwards. The best **combo's** will come from trying to be as fast as possible and getting both your basic attack and healing done as close to one another as possible which therefore will save you in the long run. This works for every class. Experimenting to find the best **strategy** will be on you as the player.

### **Teams:**

A **Team** is a group of players in **Rucoy Online** that are used to benefit each other through training or by helping during **PvP**. In order to start a **Team**, you will begin with inviting other players. To do so, simply click on the player that you want to invite and click the "Invite to team" option. This will initiate a **Team** invitation request.-You can also use the "Reject Invite" option if you decide not to join the **Team**.

(**NOTE:** Click here for: Teams)

### **PvP Rules and Changes:**

 1. If you attack or kill an innocent player a part of your gold will become cursed meaning you can’t use this gold while you remain cursed, cursed gold will appear in blue in your stats screen, how much gold will be cursed depends on the following formulas:
2. If you attack or kill 1 innocent player your cursed gold will be: your level \* 150
3. If you kill 2 innocent players your cursed gold will be: your level \* 450 + your level \* 150
4. If you kill 3 or more innocent players your cursed gold will be: (#kills - 2) \* your level \* 1350 + your level \*450 + your level \* 150
5. If you attack an innocent player and you don’t have enough gold (according to the formulas previously mentioned) an error message will appear notifying you that you are unable to kill innocent players until you get enough gold.

2. If you have a yellow skull you will drop: your level \* 150 gold.
3. if you have a orange skull you will drop: your level \* 450 gold
4. If you have a red skull you will drop: your level \* 1205

```
gold.

```
1. If you have a black skull you will drop: your level \* 4050 gold.

### **PvP Arena + "New" Updates and More! (Outdated)**

**PvP Arena**
*Is a place that was located north of zombies but moved north to the Lizard plain, that lets you fight other players without suffering any penalties, here is how it works: The arena has two bases red and blue, left and right side respectively, outside of each base is a waiting area with an NPC, two players one on each waiting area have to tell the NPC they are ready for battle, once this happens the match will begin, all players on the left waiting area will become a team and be teleported to the red base, the same will happen to the players on the right waiting area, the team that first eliminates all the members of the other team wins.*
