All weapons except life staff
Life Staff has been balanced for use in large-scale PvP and Raidboss encounters, which means its healing output is too strong to allow for interesting 1v1 dynamics. Consequently, it is currently banned.
This week's Location
BETWEEN BOARSHOLM AND SHRINE OF SISYPHOS IN RESTLESS SHORE
SPECTATORS ARE WELCOME ON THE CLIFFS ABOVE
The Details
Modus and rules
1) PvP has to be disabled while you’re not fighting, duelists will activate PvP on the shrine next to our tournament grounds before their fights. Don’t attack your enemy before the fight begins!
2) For our first tournament, Life Staff is banned due to the unfun nature of the weapon in 1v1s. Life Staff is tuned for much more healing than one person can put out damage and is not fun to watch due to this reason. We are working on a solution to have Life Staff in our next tournament!
3) Potions, honing stones and food are allowed and encouraged, use them strategically to your advantage!
4) The matches will be done one by one. If there are enough registrations, we will be holding multiple duels at once with a „show match“ in the center of the arena and the other parallel matches to the sides.
5) The modus will be double elimination („with loser bracket“). All matches are best of one until the quarterfinals, where we will have Bo3 and in the final we will see a Bo5.
6) No toxicity, only friendly banter. If you insult your enemy or any other duelist, you’re out of the tournament and not welcome in further tournaments.
7) While betting would be a cool feature, it’s hard to organize. We promise we’ll work on a system, but we don’t have it today.
8) Any interference with the ongoing fights will get you instantly banned from all further tournaments.
