War of Emperium 2

War of Emperium 2 (also called WoE:SE) adds two groups of castles: one next to Juno, built in the style of Lighthalzen and Juno, and one near Rachel, built to look like the Arunafeltz lands. The fight rules, damage formulas and ally rules are the same as in the first War of Emperium, and Leap is also disabled.

The big difference is the map. Each castle is one large fort with no warp portals inside, so attackers cannot precast before walking in, and the defenders get new tools to hold their ground. The result is a siege that rewards defensive play much more than the first edition.

Icon	Defense	How it works	Repair items
	Guardian Stones (2)	First line of defense. While either stands, an unbreakable barrier blocks the way to the first barricade; it drops only when both are destroyed. They can be hit by normal attacks and support skills, and they summon the Guardians. A broken stone can be rebuilt by any member of the owning guild (not allies), but only 8 minutes after it fell.	30 Stone, 1 Oridecon, 1 Elunium, 5 each of Blue, Red and Yellow Gemstone
	Barricades (3 sets)	Second line of defense. Each barricade is a row of 4–8 blocks (450,000 HP each) that stop everyone from passing until all are broken. Normal and support skills can target them. They are not placed automatically after a capture: only the guild leader can install them, in order starting with the one nearest the Emperium, and broken blocks cannot be replaced while WoE is running.	30 Trunk, 10 Steel, 10 Emveretarcon, 5 Oridecon

If both stones fall, the main gate stays open until both are repaired, but one working stone still summons Guardians, only half as many. Attackers who got past the barrier before it came back can keep breaking barricades and reach the Emperium.

• Guardians appear on their own from the Guardian Stones; you do not hire them as in the first WoE. How many depends on the castle's defense investment, and fallen Guardians come back after a while. They are Demi Human and about as strong as the guardians of the Thor Volcano dungeon, much tougher than first-edition guardians. If their stone is destroyed, they die with it.
• Twelve Link Flags stand around each fort, each paired with a matching flag, usually at the back of the Emperium room, for quick travel back and forth. The flags outside the castle warp members straight past the last barricade into the Emperium room. Only the owning guild can use any of them, not allies or rivals.

Like the first edition, WoE 2 is only switched on at set times. The WoE 2 page lists iRO's Renewal Chaos server with sieges on Wednesday and Saturday, 4:00–6:00 pm Pacific, and none for the Thor server. Treasure boxes spawn every day at 12:00 AM Pacific in a room only the guild leader can open, as in the first edition.
