RWC
Competitive PvP. Ready-made builds. Pure teamplay.
RWC is a structured team PvP format where players create fresh event characters, build them inside the RWC lobby, purchase equipment and consumables using event-provided Zeny, and fight other registered teams in a controlled arena.
The system is designed to make competitive matches fast to enter and fair to play, with standardized setup tools, restricted classes, lobby-only preparation, and a dedicated supply economy. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3} :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
Overview
RWC is built around pre-match team preparation and organized arena battles.
Players begin by creating a completely fresh character, entering the RWC system, choosing an allowed class, setting up their build, purchasing gear and supplies, and joining a party for registration. Once registered, staff can select two valid teams and launch a match between them. During match startup, both teams are re-verified, stripped of active status effects, and warped into opposite sides of the arena. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
Team Size
The RWC system is configured with the following team limits:
- Minimum players allowed: 1
- Maximum players allowed: 7
These values are set directly in the event configuration. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}
Character Requirements
To join RWC, players must use a completely fresh character.
Your character must be:
- On the novice starting map

How Registration Works
RWC registration is party-based.
To register:
- Form a party with your team.
- The party leader speaks to the registration NPC.
- The system verifies the party through a party verification function.
- If the team passes verification, the party is added to the registration list.
Important notes:
- Only the party leader can register the team.
- Only the party leader can unregister the team.
- Already-registered teams cannot register again unless they unregister first.
- Teams are re-verified again before a match begins, in case members changed, disconnected, or no longer meet requirements. :contentReference[oaicite:10]{index=10}
Match Start
When an RWC match is started:
- Staff select a Blue Team and a Red Team from the registered party list.
- Both teams are re-verified.
- All active status effects are removed from online party members.

- Teams are warped into opposite sides of the arena.
