Land ownership is limited to "Patron" status holders. Should the Archeum Crystal be overtaken, the attacking guild gains ownership of the Crystal and the surrounding castle. A castle's primary focus is the defense of the Archeum Crystal during sieges. These castles grant lordship over the surrounding area with taxes paid on the property within being collectable periodically by the guild's leader. Most houses have a small area surrounding them that serves as space for farming.īy purifying an Archeum Crystal on the northern continent of Auroria, player guilds can claim land upon which to construct castles. Players must pay taxes on the land where they place their houses or run the risk of having them destroyed and losing some or all of the possessions therein. Housing options range from small one-story cottages to large three-story mansions with their sizes directly affecting the amount of space required to place their foundations. These buildings allow players to decorate their interiors/exteriors with both cosmetic and functional furnishings. The housing system allows players to construct buildings in designated, non-instanced zones throughout the world using a free-placement method. Crafting grants players "proficiency" levels, which unlock new crafting options. The crafting system in ArcheAge is extensive, allowing crafting of, among other things, equipment, food, vehicles, and furniture for the player-owned homes. Several regular world events also promote open world PvP, such as the Halcyona War and the Abyssal Attack. Intra-faction PvP is possible if one player flags for 'bloodlust' mode the player flagging and attacking in this manner will generate crime evidence and can face jail time. Players can freely attack other players who are members of the other factions (East, West or Pirate). Many of the game zones allow for open world PvP. Ships need to be built and equipped with weaponry and manpower and fights can be between players or against sea monsters. In addition to traditional combat settings, ArcheAge offers naval combat in such settings where players have to secure trade routes or engage in sea-land battles.
