==Summary==
The objective of a Faction Struggle is to be the Faction that earns the most points by capturing Control Zones in the area. Each Faction Struggle takes place in one of the cities of Avadon and alternates between Mounted and Unmounted combat. You can get information about an upcoming Faction Struggle by typing [Factions or through the Guild menu. These large scale battles are 30 minutes long and occur every 4 hours.

==Gameplay Details==
* Capture the Control Zone(s) to earn points for your faction
** The more faction members standing in the Control Zone, the faster it is captured
** If an opposing faction member is also standing in the Control Zone, it will become contested and progress will halt
** If no faction members are in the Control Zone, the meter will begin to decay until reaching zero and then convert to neutral status
* The faction with the most points at the end wins
** All participants receive at least one Faction Reward Point

===Faction Hotbar===
[[File:factionstruggle-hotbar.gif|right|link=]]The Faction Hotbar displays important information about the Faction Struggle in a compact design. You can access it from the Faction Struggles menu or by typing [factionhotbar. The Faction Hotbar displays:

* Current score
* Control Zone progress
* Time Remaining
* Player's current points
* Names and locations of Control and Respawn Zones
* Click any of the gems to activate a tracking arrow that will point towards a Zone

==Times and Duration==
* Faction Struggles last for '''30 minutes'''
* Faction Struggles occur '''every 4 hours'''

==Faction Struggle Participation==
* <u>'''Players must begin a Faction Struggle within their Faction's Base to be counted as Participating'''</u>
* Green Faction Moongates appear in towns prior to the event which teleports players to their Faction Base
* Once a Faction Struggle begins, players who move further than '''200 tiles away from any Capture or Respawn Zone''' are no longer considered participants
** This means no special Faction Struggle rules will apply until they return to the area
** These rules include scoring, item usage, death, respawning, guard exemption for murderers, etc

==Item Usage==
Players participating in Faction Struggles have '''free consumption''' of the following items:

* Reagents
* Bandages
* Arrows/Bolts

==Notoriety/Flagging==
* Members of the same guild will flag as <span style="color: #3366ff;">'''Blue'''</span> to each other if one is participating in a Faction Struggle and the other is not
* '''<span style="color: #ff0000;">Murderer </span>'''players participating in a Faction Struggle will flag as '''<span style="color: #3366ff;">Blue</span>''' to non-faction participants so long as they do not commit a murder during the event (which will cause them to lose their temporary blue status)

==Stamina-Free Movement==
* Participants in Faction Struggles can now push through non-participants without stamina loss
* This prevents non-participants from blocking and griefing Faction players

==Death==
* If a Faction Struggle participant dies, they are immediately teleported (with any nearby pets) and resurrected at their Faction Base
* Respawn timer for participants in Faction Bases is 2 minutes
* '''<span style="color: #ff0000;">Murderer</span>''' players can be resurrected by Faction Base healers (if they show up to a Faction Struggle dead)
* Normal corpse looting rules apply during a Faction Struggle

<u>'''Faction Struggle participants no longer drop ANY items upon death with the exception of the following:'''</u>

* Potions
* Weapons or Armor made with colored materials
* Magical Weapons and Armor
* Aspect Weapons and Armor

==Underdog Bonuses==
* When one faction's score falls below the opposing faction's by certain amounts, the losing faction will activate Underdog Bonuses that remain in play for the remainder of the Faction Struggle for them (even if they later increase their score past those amounts)
* Players can view which Underdog Bonuses are activated for their faction in the [Faction gump window and click the orb button next to each bonus for a description of it
