Category:Reive

In order to participate in a reive battle, a player simply needs to enter the area where a battle is taking place (noted by enemies and players with a battle icon next to their name). The player will join the reive as soon as they enter the area.

If the player moves too far from the battle area, a warning will be displayed in the chat log and the player will have five seconds to return to the battle. If the player does not return within five seconds, they will be locked out of participation in any reive battles in the area for 10 minutes. Note that the reive re-entry restriction can be removed by changing zones.

Periodically during reive battles, players' progress will be assessed and they will be rewarded with varying amounts of Experience Points and Bayld. If a player stays in a reive battle through to its conclusion, additional Experience Points and Bayld will be received, as well as a chance to receive one or more items. The exact calculation method for reive evaluations is currently unknown. Dealing damage factors most heavily in the evaluation, but other factors such as taking damage, healing, and enhancing are also considered.

Prior to participating in reive battles, obtaining the Reive unity key item from the Scaredy-Cats quest is highly recommended. This key item will allow random instant restoration of HP, MP, TP, and/or job abilities to periodically occur during reive battles, as well as provide temporary bonuses such as increased maximum HP/MP.

Colonization Reive

This type of reive tasks players with either destroying logs or tree roots or demolishing rock walls that impede progress through various areas in Ulbuka. The local wildlife is fiercely protective of the land, so players must be able to handle a number of attacking enemies while continuing to deal damage to the obstacle blocking the path. The reive will end in success once all targets on the obstacle are destroyed. Once destroyed, players can freely pass through the location that was blocked by the obstacle. The obstacle and local wildlife will reappear one hour after being destroyed.

Obstacles can only be destroyed with the appropriate key item in possession:

• Damage can only be dealt to tree roots and logs by players who possess the "Logging" key item obtained from Grind to Sawdust.
• Damage can only be dealt to rocks by players who possess the "Demolishing" key item obtained from A Stone's Throw Away.
