Category:Reive

Reives are similar to Campaign Battles. They take place in Seekers of Adoulin Areas.

Participation
To participate in a reive, simply approach the area where a battle is taking place (denoted by enemies and players with sword icons by their names).

When a player strays too far from the reive, a warning is displayed in the chat log and the player is given five seconds to return to the reive. If the player does not return within five seconds, he or she is locked out of participation in any reives in the zone for 10 minutes. This restriction can be removed by changing zones.

Evaluations
Players' contributions to the reive are periodically assessed, and players are awarded Experience Points and Bayld based on participation. If a player fights in a reive to its conclusion, additional Experience Points and Bayld are awarded, as well as a chance to receive one or more items. The calculation methods for reive evaluations is not yet known. Dealing physical damage factors most heavily into the evaluation, but taking damage, healing, and enhancing are also rewarded.

Reive unity
Before participating heavily in reives, players should obtain the Reive unity key item from the quest Scaredy-Cats. This item grants healing, enhancing, and offensive bonuses to players during reives, similar to Abyssea's Abyssite.

"Logging"
The "Logging" key item allows players to damage Knotted Roots during Colonization Reives. It is obtained from the quest Grind to Sawdust.

"Demolishing
The "Demolishing" key item allows players to damage during Colonization Reives. It is obtained from the quest A Stone's Throw Away.
