PvP Tournament
The PvP Tournament is a 1v1 single-elimination bracket fought in kits the server hands out. Your own gear is never at risk. It runs 6 times a day.
When it runs
1, 5 and 9, AM and PM Pacific. A [JOIN] card in chat opens a 2 minute signup. A slot is skipped if the server is counting down to a restart.
Joining
Click the card or run /tournament join.
- You must be in a safe zone and out of combat.
- Your whole inventory is stored when you join and comes back when you leave.
- It needs at least 2 players and takes up to 16.
- While signup runs you wait in the lobby. Fists work there as a warmup with nothing at stake.
- Inside the tournament only
/tournamentand private messages work.

The four modes
The modes take turns in this order.
| Mode | How kits are chosen |
|---|---|
| Vanilla | Everyone fights in the same kit |
| Draft | You build a kit over 8 picks: weapons, armour, jewels and offhand. 10 seconds a pick |
| Random Kit | You get a random kit each fight |
| Blind Pick | You choose 1 of 3 kits in secret. 15 seconds to pick |
If you don't pick in time, the pick is made at random.
Kits also come in a gear tier that rotates: gold, iron, diamond and netherite. The signup card names the mode and the tier.
Fights
- A 5 second countdown holds both fighters still.
- A fight lasts 3 minutes. After that it is sudden death: Wither on both fighters and no healing, until someone falls.
- If sudden death drags on, the fight is decided on Life left: the fighter with the higher share wins.
- A hit only ends a fight after every damage reduction has applied.
The stadium has a lobby, 8 fight pits, seats to watch from and a bracket board.
Prizes
| Place | Prize |
|---|---|
| Winner | The Champion's Cache, plus money and Ancient Energy |
| Runner-up | The Contender's Cache |
| Semi-finalists | A money note and Ancient Energy |
| Everyone else who fought | A money note |
Money and energy scale with the day's level cap.
The Champion's Cache needs at least 4 players who really fought. In a smaller bracket the winner gets the Contender's Cache and the runner-up gets the semi-finalist prize.
Prizes are handed over when you leave the tournament. Anything that doesn't fit in your inventory goes to /stash.
The caches
The tournament has loot that drops nowhere else. The two caches hold:
- The Focus helmet enchant and the Bloodprice sword and axe enchant.
- Tournament trims.
- The Gladiator's Laurels kill effect.
- A PvP pet. The Champion's Cache can also hold a pet item.
The Champion's Cache is the better of the two.
