How to Enter
You can access the Red Battlefield by going to the main menu (hotkey: Esc) → War (F7) → Red Battlefield.Once you press the button from the main menu, the Red Battlefield Status window will appear.
From here you can access the desired battlefield available.
The battlefield has a variety of areas you can fight in, such as the capital of Valencia where points are acquired by occupying areas, and Garmoth's Nest and Castle Ruins which play in a team death match format. (For now only the Casltle Ruins map is available. The rest of maps will be added soon.)
The rules of each battlefield can be checked through the Red Battlefield Rules section on the right, next to the Enter button.
Red Battlefield Penalties
If you leave the battlefield or stay idle for too long, you will get a penalty that stops you from joining matches for a while.
- Penalties come in stages.
- If you leave the battlefield for too long, you will get a penalty, and each penalty increases your penalty level by two stages.
- If you do not move after entering the battlefield, you will get warnings. Keep ignoring them, and you will get a penalty. Stay idle for too long, and penalties stack up, raising your penalty level.

Castle Ruins & Garmoth's Nest
Once you select to enter a match, you will have to wait until all players are ready to join. The maximum number of participants is 40.
While waiting for a match in the Red Battlefield, you cannot use the following items: Traveler's Map, Archaeologist's Map, Lafi Bedmountain's Upgraded Telescope, Lafi Bedmountain's Upgraded Compass
Upon entering the Red Battlefield, characters are automatically assigned to one of the two opposing teams: the Black Desert or the Red Desert camps.
In this format, the Red Battlefield is a 15-minute battle between two factions. You can join up to 3 minutes after the match has started, but not after this time has passed. If this happens, you have to wait for the battle to end and a new one to start again.
When the battle begins, participants are moved to the red battlefield area. If you leave the red battlefield area or the game closes, you will be moved to the original location you were in before. At this point, if this happened 3 minutes before the battle started, you can rejoin the battle in progress.
During the time limit, you can freely deal with the enemies of the opposite faction as you like. Points accumulated until the end of the match are added up, and the side with the highest score wins.
Points are earned when you defeat a character from the opposing faction. The number of points acquired depends on the number of points possessed by the defeated character. There are no special restrictions when respawning in the Red Battlefield. It is better not to be afraid of death and actively enjoy combat.
| Situation | Score |
| When you defeat an enemy | Gain half (1/2) of the points the enemy Adventurer has, at least 1 point |
| When you are defeated by an enemy | Lose a quarter (1/4) of your points, at least 1 point However, if you only have 1 point, you will not lose it when you are defeated |
In the image above, you can see the visual distinction between ally and enemy, as well as the battlefield UI showing the score and time remaining.

Healing Potions and other Consumables
You can use any of the potions and consumables you have at the Red Battlefield, but it will be much cheaper to use the potions that the Quartermaster NPC within the battlefield sells.
The price of each potion is just 1 silver, and they only weigh 0,01LT.
Lastly, you can also participate in the Red Battlefield with a trial character, and can enjoy it more comfortably by purchasing items from the NPC Haz within the battlefield.
