Wyvern Trials

Wyvern Trials General Information

• Held every Monday at 9:30PM EST/6:30PM PST except during holidays, Hollow Eve, and other certain events.
  
• A means to enjoy controlled spars to test one's might.
• Available for participants of all skill ranges - ranging from characters who hunt goblins all the way up to bone wyverns.

The Tournament Director for the evening will commonly match people up in 1v1 spars.

Occasionally there will be special events in which it is team based, ranging from 2v2 to 6v6, or free-for-all mode.

Meant to be a fun activity - no griefing or harassment allowed, and bickering kept to a minimum. Feel free to taunt your opponent(s) during the fight though!

• Triage available on hand, commonly at least one empath as well as one cleric for any technical mishaps.
• Spectators are more than welcome as well! Cheer (or boo!) the players as they fight - keep it respectful

How to sign up to participate

If you wish to participate in a particular tournament, you will need to:

• Show up to the Arena via your local Meeting portal, then GO ARCH
• Speak to the Tournament Director and inform them of your combat skills (commonly measured by your shield, evasion, and either your Targeted Magic or your primary weapon, whichever of the two is higher)
• Tournament Director will match people up according to similar skills as best as possible
• Wait for your match to be called

• Personal/direct matches can be requested - you can whisper to the Tournament Director if you want to fight someone specifically, and they will reach out to the other person for acceptance

Formal Challenges

To issue a formal challenge, visit the Standings Page of The Wyvern Trials Website. Click on the Formal Challenges link at the top of the page. You then need to enter the name of the player you wish to challenge and click CHALLENGE!
The website will send your opponent an email alerting them of your desire to challenge them. The recipient of the challenge has 3 days to meet their challenger in game and compete.

• Formal challenges may be issued to anyone of equal or higher rank than yourself.
• You must be a ranked member of the ladder to issue a challenge.

This means you will have to first compete in a tournament.

• If a formal challenge is unmet after 3 days, it is marked as failed.

Three failed matches result in the offending player being automatically moved to the "penalty box".

While in the box, they may not compete in any events. They must contact an admin to be moved out of the box.

Sparring

Anyone can spar with another member of the ladder and report this match to effect both player's standings on the ladder, with or without a formal challenge first. CHALLENGE your opponent, fight your fight, and report the match!

Reporting Challenges and Spars

After a formal challenge or a spar, the loser of the match visits the The Wyvern Trials website to report the result on the Standings Page by clicking the Report a Loss link.
