On Friday, June 17th, the siege battles will finally be released in Black Desert Online. But how does it all work? So you don’t stand like a cow in front of a closed castle gate, the developers at Daum have written a detailed guide to the siege mode.
After the sieges were supposed to arrive yesterday and were postponed to Friday due to unforeseen errors, the publisher Daum has now also created a more than detailed guide to the new feature in Black Desert Online. This should make it clear to anyone who has the patience to read everything how to conquer castles and outposts.
Outpost or Territory?
Basically, the siege battles differ in outpost wars and conquest wars. The outpost war is the simpler, local form of sieges. Because as every player of Black Desert Online knows, the world of the sandbox MMO is divided into numerous outposts that can also be claimed by guilds. They yield resources and tax revenues that benefit the guild.
If we declare an outpost war on another guild, then all players of our guild can participate, regardless of their level and equipment. If we win, the outpost belongs to us for a week and its revenues benefit us. The conquest war runs similarly, only on a much larger scale. Because here we fight for entire territories, each containing several outposts.
How does it all work?
The exact process of the sieges is explained in the detailed siege guide on the official Black Desert Online website. In it, the developers go through the procedure of such a war step by step:
- How to build an outpost fort
- Constructing fortifications
- Developing a strategy
- Discovering enemies and forts
- Into the battle!
- Occupying outposts
The entire guide is very detailed and cannot be adequately conveyed in this news. But at the link provided above, you can access the guide and delve into the mechanics of conquests at your own pace. Furthermore, we have linked a video from YouTuber Christian Guevara, who describes the guild war between the guilds “Dark Brotherhood” and “Atlantis”.
