Raids

**Raids!**

Your team is powerful, when you work together! Raids are large scale battles that require multiple players cooperating to defeat the minions of the Skeleton King. Here is how they work:

## Locations

There are a **few spots on the map** where there are ruins with a **giant Skeleton King** in the middle:

1) **Bronze level King** a little bit north of Springday Coast Beacon. Coordinates: 6684, 14613.

2) **Bronze level King** a little bit south of Fragrant Plains Beacon. Coordinates: 8358, 7701.

3) **Gold level King** a little bit east of Bone Mountain beacon. Coordinates: 13269, 8848.

## Raid Preparation

In order to start a raid you need to craft a Sealed Remains Crystal (100 Steam Stones + 100 Silver Ore + 100 Wood). When you go up to the Skeleton King the interactive hand icon will appear and that's how you use the Crystal. Only **1 Sealed Remains Crystal is needed to start the raid**.

## Gather Warriors: Tag Players

You will see people calling out in world chat to gather people before starting their raid, and offering to "tag".

A **tag** is when someone adds you as a user to their sleeping bag, so that you can use a portal reel to travel there instantly, or respawn there after dying.

Note: You can tag player names with special/foreign characters by tapping on their portrait, and then tapping the clipboard icon on the upper right of the popup menu. That copies their name to your clipboard.

## Call to Arms!

Once the raid starts you have a half hour to finish it. Depending upon how strong the players are, you need between 15-25 players to successfully finish a raid. 20 players recommended, with gear at or above crystal level and pets at or above level 45.

Once the raid starts focus on killing the small skeletons that spawn. You can't hurt the big guy. Which skeletons you kill are important: see the section on skeletons below.

Pick up medallions from the skeletons you defeat. Avoid diving in on skeletons other people are fighting, because that can steal their medallions and make other players upset.

## Skeleton Types

Skeletons are divided into 5 different types, each with a corresponding area and altar:

* Universal
* Lightning
* Weakness
* Ice
* Fire

This part is the **most important part** to winning a raid: once people have killed enough Skeletons of a particular type then the altar will activate, rise, and start glowing. You will also get a buff if you go near. Once an altar activates IT IS DONE. **DO NOT kill** any more skeletons of that type because **they no longer count towards winning the raid** and you are just wasting the battle limited time, which lasts for 30 minutes only.

**!** After you activate all 5 Totems, then you win the Raid. If the timer runs out and you still haven't done them all, then you fail the raid.

## Redeeming Medallions for Rewards

If you win, smaller totems will appear in the center where the Boss was. The one in the very center is for creating Tribes. You need a Tribe Island cornerstone (100 Steam Stone + 100 Coal) to create a tribe here. As of the time of writing this article, all the servers have reached *tribe limit* and no more tribes can be created.

To get your Raid rewards, go to one of the small totems around the edge of the center platform (you will see other people gathering at them, too) and interact with it to turn in the Medallions you gathered during the raid. Rewards will be deposited into your inventory.

Rewards include, but are not limited to: green orbs, steel, and ancient blueprints.

## From the Warrior's Notebook

### Double Raids

Sometimes people do **double raids**. This is where someone prepares two Raid Crystals. If you win the first raid, then the reward totems stay active for 2 hours. This is plenty of time to go do another raid - usually the harder one at Bone Mountain.

It doesn't matter if the second raid fails, because as long as you come back to the first raid site within two hours while the totems are still active, you can turn in your medallions there.

Medallions themselves have a very short timer after which they disappear from your inventory, so be sure to redeem them promptly.

### Team Work

In a raid, it is highly important is to collaborate with other players. A team's **winning chances** often depends on it. If you see another playing character 'dead' on the battlefield, hurry to save, using the simple *save* tab, which appears when you stand next to that character. Of course, they can ressurect, but it will take away precious time, while the team attack power will be diminished.

If you happen to be defeated on the Ancient Battlefield, don't hesitate to ask for help in the **Nearby Chat**, so that the team is aware and resque your character.

Good luck in battle!
