Glory of Ares

### Appearance

This event occurs every three weeks on Friday and lasts for 3 days. It takes turns with Hold Ground and Alliance Mobilization in that order.

### Contents

The event has two main parts: a "Chief" part where you need to defeat monsters mostly by yourself and an "Alliance" part where your alliance needs to work together to challenge and defeat a boss monster.

#### Chief

The monsters (**Palace Priests**) can be challenged either via the event page or with a symbol in the bottom left corner above the compass when you're on the world map, which appears after you challenged the first **Priest** (from the event page). The **Priest** will then appear on the map for 15 minutes and you can start attacks against it; an attacking march will then fight with the Priest for 10-30 sec depending on the **Priest**'s level (similar to the x5 attack of Empire Legions). If you don't defeat the **Priest** in the 15 minutes, you can simply challenge it again, nothing will be lost. An attack costs 50 **Stamina**, but that can be reduced with the Recovery Potion talent.

You don't receive normal rewards like you get from Legions for defeating a **Palace Priest**, but for every stage cleared (for every defeated **Priest**) you get a "**Stage Reward**" and after the event ends, you'll get a "**Highest Challenge Reward**", which is dependent on the highest **Priest** that you defeated. Both rewards are also dependent on the difficulty, of course; higher difficulty means better rewards. All rewards are sent via Mail and appear in the **System Mails**.

##### Palace Priest's Chests

The **Stage Rewards** contain a bunch of **Palace Priest's** **Resource**, **Speedup**, **Gem** and **Technology Chests** as well as a couple **Junior EXP Books *(100)***. The exact amounts vary depending on the difficulty and stage of the defeated **Priests**.

Palace Priest's Gem Chest
 **1 x** 1 Gem
 **1 x** 5 Gems
 **1 x** 10 Gems

Palace Priest's Resource Chest
 **1 x** 1,000 Ore

Palace Priest's Speedup Chest
 **1 x** 1-Minute Research Speed Up
 **1 x** 1-Minute Training Speed Up

Palace Priest's Technology Chest
 **2 x** General Technology Box

##### Signal Fireworks

Every day of the event, you can claim one free **Signal Firework** item on the event page by clicking on a small chest icon in the upper right corner. Those **Fireworks** can be used to ask your alliance for help with a **Palace Priest**. As the event is three days long, you can get 3 guaranteed **Fireworks** and therefore ask for help for a minimum of 3 times. After the event ends, unused **Fireworks** will be exchanged for one **General Technology Box** each. When using a **Firework** for a **Priest**, it allows every alliance member (including yourself) to start a rally against it and every other alliance member can join the rally, like usual. Starting a rally costs 150 **Stamina** and the gathering time of these rallies is always 5 min. Rallying only gives the usual reward to the player who summoned the **Priest**, regardless of whether they participated in the rally or not, and a very small chance to receive an additional Firework. Also, if successful, a rally unlocks the next higher **Priest** for the player who used the **Firework**, if there's still a higher one left.

*CAUTION: The **Fireworks** are only active during the time the current **Palace Priest** is on the map. After the **Priest** disappears, you can re-summon it, but the **Firework** will then be lost. Make sure a strong alliance member is available to help you and that your current **Priest** still has enough time on the clock (> 5 min) before you use a **Firework**.*

##### Difficulties

There are 5 different challenge difficulties, which can be chosen at the beginning of the event. At first, only the easiest difficulty (Easy) will be available. To unlock higher difficulties, you need to defeat all 30 **Palace Priests** of the previous one. The **Priests** can be a real challenge for many players, i.e. not every Lv80 player can defeat the last 5 **Priests** on the highest difficulty (Hell), really good Heroes, Runes, etc. are necessary.
