Last Edited on : Feb 5, 2025, 16:29 (UTC)


 

What is Node War?

Node War is a PvP content where guilds (and alliances) compete for supremacy over various nodes found scattered across the Black Desert world.

The stage for Node War is spread across nodes in different territories, which includes Balenos, Serendia, Calpheon, Mediah, Valencia, and Kamasylvia.

 

Node War takes place every day from NA 6:00 - 7:00 PM (PST) | EU 20:00 - 21:00 (CET), except for Saturdays when Conquest Wars take place.
In addition to the above, each territory has its own set of stat limits.

◈ Unlimited Conquest War Occupying Guild's Node War Mode Selection


After your guild successfully occupies a territory in Conquest War (Mediah), you gain the ability to directly select the Node War mode for the following week.
This selection will not have any gear score restrictions, making it accessible to a wider range of players.
Once you become the occupying guild, you can announce the Node War mode for the upcoming week to the Black Desert world. This announcement lasts for approximately 2 hours.
        
Unlimited Conquest War Occupying Guild's Node War Mode Selection
Announcement Period
[Announcement Period: Approx. 2 hours after end of Conquest War]
The Node War mode announced by the occupying guild of the unlimited Conquest War (Mediah) will proceed
from Sunday following the announcement until the next Conquest War (Sun-Fri).
 
* If the Node War mode is not designated, Occupation mode is the default mode.
 
* If Conquest War ends and the occupying guild is confirmed before the Conquest War period ends, the next Node War mode can be selected until approximately 2 hours after the Conquest War period ends.
 
 

[Occupation Mode Node War]

Node War Rules and Tools

After a Node War starts, the Focus Node War Participation System will be applied.
- In servers where a Node War is ongoing, all Adventurers who are not participating in the Node War will have their DP set to 0.
- Non-participants from Guilds that have joined the Node War will be forcibly moved to the nearest town if they approach the area where the Node War is taking place.
 
When resurrecting during a Node War, your fallen mount will also resurrect with you.
 
When your character dies, you can choose to resurrect at predetermined locations in the towns of each territory.
- Balenos: Velia, Western Guard Camp, Olvia
- Serendia: Heidel, Glish
- Calpheon: Calpheon City, Keplan, Behr
- Mediah: Altinova, Tarif, Kusha
- Valencia: Valencia City, Ancado Inner Harbor, Arehaza
- Kamasylvia: Grána, Old Wisdom Tree, Acher Guard Post
 

The following rules apply to the resurrection cooldown during Node War:
The default resurrection cooldown is 10 seconds, which can increase up to a maximum of 30 seconds.
This cooldown grows by 1 second each minute the Node War progresses, and by an additional 1 second for each death.
 

◈ Node War Fort Repairs


Guilds/alliances can repair occupied forts using the following item:
 
Node War Fort Repair Tool
Polished Stone x1
(Recovers 1% durability of a fort/command post/HQ)

- The "Return" function will be activated immediately in the top right of the display for the affected Territory when a Node War ends.
- 10 minutes after a Node War ends, monsters will reappear in said Territory.
- PvP between participating Guilds/Alliances will cease immediately after a Node War ends.
- Any remaining annex buildings will be immediately destroyed in the affected Territory when a Node War ends.
 
 

◈ Node War Annexes and Siege Weapons

Once a Node War starts, you can construct designated annex using Annex Assembly Tools. Purchase "Annex Assembly Tool" and "Node War Lynch Cannon Assembly Kit" from a Guild Military Supply Manager in each town.

- War Heroes cannot install annexes or Node War Lynch Cannons.
- Max 2 Node War Lynch Cannons can be installed.

Once Node War begins, you can use the Annex Assembly Tool to construct annexes anywhere within the Node War area. Constructing an annex consumes a certain amount of guild funds, and there is a limit to how many annexes can be constructed. Annexes can be constructed regardless of whether a Fort is occupied/owned, as long as guild funds are available.
 
Node War Constructible Annexes

* Using the Annex Assembly Tool switches to a mode that allows for easy installation, enabling you to move around and find the perfect spot for installation.

* All annexes and siege weapons are automatically destroyed at the end of Node War.

 
Installation time for annexes installed using the Node/Conquest War Annex Assembly Tool during a war: 5 sec

Benefits from Occupying Nodes


Doubled Node Investment Benefits (Across Entire Territory Group)

When occupied, Node Investment Benefits for the entire Territory to which the Node belongs to, and other Territories within the same group, will be doubled for one week. (For example, if you occupy a Tier 3 Fort in a Calpheon territory Node War, the Node Investment Benefits for both Calpheon and Kamasylvia regions will be doubled for one week.)
If you then participate in a Node War and reoccupy a Node within the same Territory, the period of doubled Node Investment Benefits will be reset. The remaining time of double Node Investment Benefits can be checked in the right side of the Guild (G) window under Occupation Information.
 
Example
When occupying the Pilgrim's Sanctum: Obedience Node Fort in Valencia, all Node Investment Benefits in Mediah/Valencia are doubled, increasing the Item Drop Rate for all Monster Zones within Mediah/Valencia that receive Node Investment Benefits.
 
What are Node Investment Benefits?
Increased Item Drop Rate +0.5% per Node Investment Level when defeating certain monsters.

- For example, if the Node Level of Gyfin Rhasia Temple is 20, the Item Drop Rate for Monsters at Gyfin Rhasia Temple (Upper/Underground) will be increased by +10%.
- If doubled due to Node occupation, the Item Drop Rate for Monsters at Gyfin Rhasia Temple (Upper/Underground) will be increased by +20%.
 

Important Things to Know

We have explored the ways to participate in Node War and the rewards and benefits that await you. Now, let's delve into the specific rules that govern Node War.


While it is not necessary to know every detail to excel in Node War, understanding these rules can greatly assist in preparing and strategizing for the battles to come.

For adventurers who prefer to review only the rules of Node War, we have compiled them for your convenience.


1. Common Rules for Node/Conquest Wars

 
1 When victorious in a Node/Conquest War and occupying a node, the accumulated taxes are automatically collected by the occupying guild/alliance.
2 If an allied fort/command post/field HQ is destroyed during the Node/Conquest War, you are no longer considered as participants and cannot attack participating guilds/alliances.
3
During the Node/Conquest War, guild wars are restricted on the server, and attacks can only be carried out according to the rules of Node/Conquest War.
4 During the Node/Conquest War, there are no penalties for death in PvP encounters between participating guilds/alliances.
5 During the Node/Conquest War, even when wearing camouflage outfits (Treant Camouflage, Desert Camouflage), your identity is exposed.
6 From 1 hour before the start of the Node War (2 hours for the Conquest War) until its completion, all participating guilds/alliances are unable to recruit new members.

 

2. Node War Rules

 
1

Lord’s guild can participate in the Node war up to 6 times a week.

Each guild/alliance has one weekly opportunity to participate in the Node War, with the chance to participate again after meeting the minimum requirement for opportunity return.

The minimum requirement is achieved when the total kill/death count is 100 or more for the adventurer"s guild/alliance during the Node War. Failure to meet this requirement will result in no opportunity return. (Note: Node War opportunities are reset every Saturday at 24:00 and a new opportunity is granted.)

2 Node Wars are held in the following regions: Balenos, Serendia, Calpheon, Mediah, Valencia, and Kamasylvia. Each region has its own designated servers for the wars.
3 When the war ends, all guilds/alliances' annexes are demolished.
4 Guilds/alliances should consider restrictions on the number of participants and their stats when choosing Territory Group to participate in.
5 Once the territory for the Node War is allocated, you can check the information of the guild/alliance participating in that territory via the Node War menu.
6 In Occupation Node War, should a neutral fort stand unoccupied at the end of the Node War, the node of that fort will be liberated.
7 Victorious guilds/alliances will acquire the taxes accumulated from the occupied node and can obtain the personal victory reward. (Note: The personal reward can only be obtained if the minimum requirement for the opportunity return is met.)
8 Two exclusive guild skills, Breath of Life and Blessing of Battle can be activated by consuming Spirit of Battle while temporarily occupying a fort, and their effects are only applied in the vicinity of the temporarily occupied fort.

 

Node Wars offer various benefits and rewards, but it' s also an opportunity to experience the thrill of guild-scale group PvP and build strong bonds with guild members.

 

Even if your gear may not be exceptional, you can participate in the appropriate tier of Node Wars and engage in intense battles. And with an arsenal of siege weapons at your disposal, there is ample opportunity to shine.

 

We look forward to witnessing your splendid performance on the Node Wars battlefield!
