Battle Ground Medals

[Madonion Slicer]

Not sure on these yet no one i spoke to has bothered to get them, as i understand you get it when you cap on RP or take part in a raid and hold for 45mins.

My question is with my BD i capped out of BG0 then lvled a bit and went to BG1 and about to cap there, will i only collect a BG1 Medal or if i got to the merchant before i cap can i still get my BG0 one.

I would go and try it but i am at work and this thought just came to me, as i have heard the xp from the Medals is good.

Thanks

From 1.60 patch notes

--------------------------------------------------

BATTLEGROUND NOTES

Version 1.60 has a couple of large changes to the battleground system. The intent of these changes is to get more players involved in RvR at lower levels by incenting them with experience points. There are two major parts of these additions: we've added a new lower-level battleground for those players levels 15-19, and now you can gain lots of experience by completing each Battleground.

Experience for Battlegrounds

We've added a system for experience rewards for completing each battleground. Basically, when you complete a battleground, you can go to a new special NPC that will give you a medal. That medal can be taken to another new NPC and turned in for a significant amount of experience points.

To complete a battleground, you must achieve three objectives (note that only the keep raid must take place in the Battleground, the rest can be achieved in standard RvR):

1. Participating and living through a successful raid on a central keep that has been held by the enemy for at least 45 minutes

2. Being at the realm point cap for that battleground

3. Being in the level range for the battleground, plus one level.

Please note that the realm points need not all be earned in the battleground - they can be gained in standard RvR as well. Once players have participated in a keep raid and reached the required Realm Point level, players go to a new NPC in their home city and receive their medal of valor.

You can only receive the medal for a battleground if you are within the level range for that specific battleground, plus one level. For instance, you can only receive the Thidranki medal if you are between 20 and 25.

ALSO PLEASE NOTE THAT THE MAXIMUM RP FOR EACH BATTLEGROUND REMAINS UNCHANGED. IF YOU EARN MORE THAN THE MAXIMUM RP ALLOWED IN A PARTICULAR BATTLEGROUND AND YOU HAVE NOT YET TAKEN THE CENTRAL KEEP, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ENTER THAT BATTLEGROUND, AND THUS WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET YOUR MEDAL OF VALOR.

--------------------------------------------------

Yes, the XP reward is substantial. For example, my friar was L24.4 upon capping out of Thidranki and upon handing over the medal he was L25.35

Nice so almost 10bubs shame i missed out on the BG0 but will be sure to visit these npc from now on.

You might want to try taking the central keep first.

 

[Madonion Slicer]

no chance you got to hold it for 45Mins Alb zerg would of taken it back by then for sure.

 

[Danya]

No medal for you then.

 

[Madonion Slicer]

Why is that?

Capping in the BG gets you a medal, that is easy to do with my overpowered Bonedancer.

Wooo hooo Medal for me

 

[Danya]

You misread. To get a medal you have to do all 3 of those things, it's one medal for the three, not one for each. So no keep take means no medal.

 

[Madonion Slicer]

Ahhhhhhhhhh you are correct forgive me i am but a troll.

Could you ask your realms bg twinks to play there mains on say thursday night then just for say an hour, then i can get my medal and you come gank us all after.

Thanks
