Faction System - General information
The Faction System is one of our special features that we are very proud of to present.
In WarfareRO, there are two Factions; Angels and Demons, compare it with good and evil. To join a Faction you have to talk to the "Faction Helper" located at Prontera. After picking your Faction you'll receive a unique item, this item is a Aura and it can be equipped on your "Costume" tab in the equipment window ( we've done this so that it does not interfere with your other(/main) equipments). Beside an aura, you're able to apply for the Faction Equipment Quests. To learn more about that, please refer to this page.
The aura states that you are a part of a Faction. With this Aura (either equipped or in your inventory) you'll be allowed to join the Faction War Event. Other than a change of appearance (if it is equipped), it does not give your character any special status bonuses. Regardless of that, being a part of a Faction is a must if you want to get the most out of the server; so it is recommended that you join one!
Now here is what they look like, the Aura's!

Faction War - How does this work?
Since the server launched not very long ago, we've put the participant requirement for the Faction War on 2 members for each side, so it's a 2 vs 2 battle. The process is as followed:
Every hour, there will be a server-wide announcement displayed that the Faction War is about to start. If you wish to join the event, we recommend you to go sign up right away. (This is because, as stated above, there are only 2 available slots on each side, this means that the first 2 players that sign up will get to join the Faction War. If you happen to be the third person, you will not be able to participate. We've done this because we want fair amounts.)
After signing up, you'll be warped to your Factions' "Waiting Room". All you have to do is simply enter the NPCs Chat Bubble and wait 'til it is filled. Keep in mind, even if the Chat Room is full there is still a chance you won't get warped. So If after a good while the participants of the other Faction is still displaying [ 0 / 2 ] or [ 1 / 2 ] in the announcement, we advice you to just leave - The reason for this is because then the other Faction does not have 2 members representing them yet. We hope this won't be the case for a much longer time, however seeing how the server is still new, for now this is not something that can be avoided.
To recruit more players for the Faction War, there is an option in the Broadcaster NPC that allows you to recruit participants, the costs for this server-wide broadcast is only 100k zeny!
Anyway! Let's pretend everything went well! Okay, so now you've been warped to the battle arena, the point obviously is to kill the other Faction. It's a countdown of scores. Both Factions start with (currently) 15 lifes - in total, not per person! This means that the Faction that kills the members of the other Faction 15 times first will be the winner.

Faction War - Rewards
When the actual war starts, you can gather "War Coins". This is a special currency that can be exchanged for many
items in the "War Coin Machine". Now you probably wonder how to get many of them, allow me to help you there~
1x War Coin - For each kill you make.
3x War Coin - For the losing Faction.
5x War Coin - For the winning Faction.
The War Coins will be awarded after the Faction War - unless you log off. The only War Coins that will be awarded right away are the War Coins you gain for killing other players.
The War Coin Machine vends extremely useful and powerful items. You should go take a look yourself. An example of these items are our Excellent Weapons!

Additional note:
The current times for the Faction War is set to run every hour at XX:40 Server Time (@time), this is the time for the 2vs2 match.
There are 3vs3 matches hosted as well, but only at peak times. This match will run at XX:10 Server Time (@time).
The Faction War times and player slots are going to change depending on our population, same story with the price of the items in the War Coin machine.
