The Stone Emperors: Twin Paths to Glory

Double_trouble · Jan 30, 2015

I say devs make an update to this event that opts everyone in I'm sick of all the damn attack builds in BL when I got only troops leaving me open for stls

renamed473 · Jan 30, 2015

The equip is ugly except for the golden one and only the last 2 banners are good looking

Bamboozled · Jan 30, 2015

So many crying already no one can ever just appreciate something different. Always have to moan like little kids

SindriSuncatcher · Jan 30, 2015

Kaw comm and kaw admin should opt in for pvp

Anakin-Skywalker · Jan 30, 2015

Well we are getting closer to allowing everyone a chance for a good banner still pretty slim
Odds though top 500 is out of reach for most should be interesting I guess

wordwaster · Jan 30, 2015

not everyone has a chance at the banners. those that run the most xtals on the pvp side will get them, and those that run the most xtals on hte on the pve side will get them.

so its still pay for banners. the brightside is that by splitting the competition, i don't think you will have to spend as much to get into one of the top 500 as you would have in previous events. still won't be cheap or easy.

Any clans I can join only doing pvp event? 

Among the ancient wonders unearthed in the recent earthquakes is a hitherto hidden cavern, whose entrance is blocked by two immovable stone pillars. The inscription at the foot of the left pillar reads:

THE STONE EMPERORS

At the foot of the right pillar is engraved the following:

Long have we abided, we twin emperors.
Where once towered our shining city, war-loving and proud,
We alone remain, cursed stewards of a hidden trove.
A sealed storehouse whose only key is valor.

Two paths can ye follow to our treasure and our liberation:
The first is the Path of the Hunter, strewn with the bones of beasts.
The second is the Path of the Arena, with blood and metal paved.
Collect ye symbols of our favor, and the entrance shall be revealed to you.

Upon reading this inscription, a pillar of blue light bursts upward from the stone pillars and into the sky! The contest for glory and the ancient treasure of the Stone Emperors has begun!

From 12PM PST on January 29th until 12PM PST on February 11th you'll be able to collect various items from either PvE and PvP actions.

In this event there are two different reward routes: The Path of the Hunter (PvE) and The Path of the Arena (PvP). While it's possible to work along both routes we strongly advise focusing on a primary route until you reach your desired rewards.

The Path of the Hunter

Collect Game Pelts, Prize Tails, Prey Teeth, and Quarry Nails as you slay beasts and complete Epic Battles. Collect all four of these items and they'll automatically combine into a Hunter Trophy. Wars will also drop completed Hunter Trophies.

You'll earn various rewards based on the number of these trophies you have at the end of the event.

The Path of the Arena

Start by opting-in to the Path of the Arena by casting Oath of the Arena at the Alchemist.

Warning:Opting-in lasts for the ENTIRE DURATION of the event and there will be no way to opt-out after doing so.

Opted in players will:

Have their name coloured orange to indicate their participation

Have a spell indicating their participation on their profile

Have their Battle List updated to show only players who have opted-in

You'll then need to earn Imperial Favor by hitting other opted-in players. These Imperial Favors are generated and cannot be stolen, with the number generated depending on the number the person you are hitting has as well as their size. Wars will also drop Imperial Favour.

You'll earn various rewards based on the amount of Imperial Favour you have at the end of the event.

Gladiator Blade

When you hit another opted-in player there's a chance that the Gladiator Blade spell is activated. This spell lasts for 24 hours, and has the following properties:

Provides you with more plunder when attacking or stealing from opted-in players
(This does not take effect during wars)

Allows you to obtain more Imperial Favor when attacking or stealing from opted-in players

Provides you with a chance of creating Mithril out of thin air when attacking or stealing from opted-in players

Will be visible on your profile as an active spell

CAN BE STOLEN when you are attacked or stolen from by opted-in players. If stolen you will lose the spell, and the attacking player will receive it. Duration is not reset when stolen but continues to count down from where it was for the previous owner.

Note: You cannot steal another player's Gladiator Blade spell when you have an active Gladiator Blade spell yourself.

Imperial Plea

Imperial Plea may be purchased in the Marketplace for 59 Nobility Points and casts the Imperial Benediction spell on ALL of your current clan members. If you already have an Imperial Benediction Spell active you will not be able to purchase it until the current spell expires.

This spell lasts for 1 hour and has the following properties:

Provides you with more plunder when attacking or stealing from opted-in players
(This is able to stack with the Gladiator Blade spell)

Allows you to earn more Imperial Favor when attacking or stealing from opted-in players
(This is able to stack with the Gladiator Blade spell)

Prevents other players from being able to steal your Gladiator Blade spell while Imperial Benediction is active

Will be visible on your profile as an active spell

Rewards

Rewards indicated below can be earned by collecting the indicated amount of Hunter Trophies OR Imperial Favor. If you choose to participate in both tiers, it is possible to earn rewards for EACH path. This means that you can in theory earn each tier twice. Note: Despite being able to earn multiples of reward tiers you are NOT able to earn more than one of each type of equipment or banner.

^^ Really?

IllIll_BlackHandLegion_IllIlI · Jan 30, 2015

What is the highest anyone has got of imperial favor off of one hit?

Daphnia · Jan 30, 2015

Loving this event!

-KING- · Jan 30, 2015

Lots of people like to complain...

I think this event is unfair to those of us whom are smaller and like to pvp.  I'm stuck hitting people 2x my size to get any decent ammount of drops. People shouldn't complain about incoming hits on a game called kingdoms at war. #optinginoroutisstupid  all should have equal ability to drop everything for pvp promos deal with it

That's good feedback about the smaller builds, anyone else seeing this? (also, people shouldn't complain about a lot of things, but they do, know what I mean Double_trouble?)

wordwaster · Jan 30, 2015

edit. nvm. fixed. confusion subsiding.

l_Shad_I · Jan 30, 2015

Unrelated but while you're answering questions, any news on a possible new road track of 2015? Like you guys did with 2014

XXIII_FIN_IIIXX · Jan 30, 2015

Yes, I am seeing this a lot.

I'm not having a ton of problems with it, but I am only getting 0-1 of the drops from smaller players.

It should probably be more smoothed out and fair.

Insanely_Logical_Psychopath · Jan 30, 2015

I'm not getting any drops from hitting players around my size and only 2 from spy builds.

_Benjamin_ · Jan 30, 2015

@KAWCommunity,
Do we only get items when stealing or attacking players? Or does assassinating and scouting also give items.
