Changes

VvV Changes

• Vice Vs Virtue combat will be active on all facets.
• Entering the region of an active VvV battle will flag any VvV as combat restricted (Heat Of Battle) which will prevent recalling / gating away.
• Silver gained during a VvV battle, while uncontested (no opposing VvV players in the region) will reduce silver by 50%.
• Non VvV players who flag VvV will now only remain flagged for 10 minutes (down from 30). Remember assisting or fighting VvV in any way will restart this timer.
• If a Non VvV player flags VvV in one facet but then travels to another it will now clear them of being flagged for VvV.
  • Remember you can not travel when Heat of Battle if active.
• Some VvV rewards have had their prices increased.
• VvV equipment will now spawn as BRITTLE instead of Antique and have 150/150 durability.
  • Brittle does not make items decay quicker. Instead these items are = to Replica items obtained from champion spawns and simply just can not have Powder Of Fortification applied to them.
• VvV mounts and Essence of Courage have been removed.
• Players can now purchase VvV Ethereal Horses and Ostards for 15,000 silver.
