At this point in the game you’re probably wondering why you would want to control the zone. I mean, with scenarios queue-able from anywhere and quests galore, who has time to jump into the RvR lake?!? Well, first Tier 1 open RvR is very exciting and as you get higher in level you will HUGELY crush lower level opposition since you have more skills at your disposal than they will. It’s Honest to Sigmar fun since if you capture the pairing you receive a big fat chunk of experience and renown!

So here’s the deal, there are 4 battlefield objectives around the zone, pop open the map and look for Flag symbols, they will have a timer next to them which is counting down, we’ll worry about that later. At each of these flags there are NPC guards that you will have to defeat in order to claim the BFO, in Tier 1 they aren’t terribly tough so you can solo or duo the NPCs with smart pulls, dependent on your career of course. Once you take the BFO by right clicking on it after all the guards are dead, you have to maintain control for 3 minutes. Pro Tip: During this time the opposite realm will have been alerted to your activity and will likely be running their tier 1 booties over to your location so if there is any advantageous terrain now is the time to get on, in or behind it. (i.e. Ranged DPS should try to get elevated, MDPS should hide behind a building or a rock so that they can surprise anybody coming in and Support should hide behind something obscure so you can pop in and out of Line of Sight to heal your friends and cast spells on your enemies)
