Before being able to join an ''Assault Mission'' you need to become a [[Mercenary]] for [[Aht Urhgan]]. Then you can go to the [[Commissions Agency]] in [[Aht Urhgan Whitegate]], where you can view a list of available tasks. Choose any task that interests you, and gather the number of people necessary to finish the operation. Then, enter the enemy's stronghold and complete your tasks.
== Starting an Assault ==
[[File:Assault pic01.webp|right|300px]]


If you manage to complete the Assault and make it back alive, [[the Empire of Aht Urhgan]] will reward you with fame and an appropriate reward, including pieces of the [[Armor Sets/Assault Armor|Assault Armor Sets]].
After reaching the correct [[Staging Point]], one party member must obtain an [[Assault Armband]] from the [[Immortal]] sentry inside the Staging Point.


Assault can only be undertaken by small, select groups. In exchange, the [[The Empire of Aht Urhgan#Military Organization|Imperial Army]] will evacuate any non-participants so that you can fully concentrate on the operation. On the other hand, no one will be around to help if you find yourself in trouble, so you must always be on guard.

==Requirements==
The leader then examines the [[Runic Seal]], selects the Assault settings, and begins the mission. Party members in the Staging Point with the correct orders are transported into the Assault area.
Before participating in Assault missions, you must first be above level 50 and a member of [[Salaheem's Sentinels]] (completed by starting [[President Salaheem|Aht Urhgan Mission 3: President Salaheem]]).


To undertake a mission, you must speak with [[Rytaal]] in the [[Commissions Agency]] in [[Aht Urhgan Whitegate]], who can issue you with an [[Imperial Army I.D. Tag]]. One tag is required for each mission attempt. All Assault missions (excluding the unofficial assault quest on [[The Ashu Talif]]) require a party of 1-6 members.
== Level Restrictions ==
Assault missions may allow voluntary level restrictions.


After accepting a mission from one of the [[Assault Mission Giver]] NPCs, you must make your way to the [[Staging Point]] for the particular assault area. If you have previously used the [[Runic Portal]] in that area, you may use the [[Chamber of Passage]] to teleport directly to the area without charge.

To unlock more missions you must achieve a higher [[Mercenary Rank]]. These ranks are obtained by taking part in Assault missions and completing the associated [[Promotion]] quest.
Some rewards or unidentified-item results may depend on completing the mission at or above the recommended level. {{Verification}}


==Completing Missions==
== Completing Missions ==
[[File:Assault pic01.webp|right]]
An Assault mission is completed by fulfilling the mission objective and activating the [[Rune of Release]].
When you reach the [[Staging Point]], one member of your party needs to get an [[Assault Armband]] in order to lead the mission. Talk to the [[Blue Mage|Immortal]] sentry in the staging area and pay them 50 [[Imperial Standing]] for the armband.


The leader then needs to examine the Runic Seal and select the level cap. The options are for a 50, 60, 70 cap, or no level cap. After confirming that you are ready, everyone in the party that is in the staging area with correct orders is transported to the mission area.
When the objective is complete:
*If any party member does not not fulfill the requirements to participate, an error message will appear and no-one will be transported into the Assault zone.


When you complete the objectives of an Assault mission, an [[Ancient Lockbox]] appears at the exit point, along with a [[Rune of Release]]. The lockbox contains treasure, while the Rune of Release ends the Assault. Whoever opens the [[Ancient Lockbox]] may receive an [[:Category:??? Items|unidentified item]] directly into their inventory. Other treasure goes into the [[Treasure Pool]].
* An [[Ancient Lockbox]] appears.
*An [[:Category:??? Items|unidentified item]] is received only if the Assault was completed at or above the "recommended level."
* A [[Rune of Release]] appears.
*Leaving an Assault clears the treasure pool; distribute items ''before'' you use the [[Rune of Release]].
* The lockbox may contain treasure and unidentified items.
*If you are short on time, [[quartermaster]] may be used to preserve the treasure for distribution outside the Assault zone.
* The Rune of Release ends the Assault and awards [[Assault Points]].
When you use the [[Rune of Release]], you receive the [[Assault Points]] reward. The point values listed below are for each player in a party of 3. Below are the additional rules for [[Assault Points]] calculation:
* Leaving an Assault clears the treasure pool, so treasure should be distributed before using the Rune of Release.
*Some Assaults give bonuses or penalties based on how well you perform.
* If a player disconnects before completion, they may fail to receive clear credit or rewards. {{Verification}}
*Each additional player in excess of 3 reduces the reward by 10%, so in a full party of 6 each player would get 70% of the listed value.
*The first time you win a mission, you will receive a 50% bonus.
*The leader of the mission receives an extra 10% bonus.
*The bonuses are multiplicative, not additive.  If you won an Assault for the first time as the leader of a 6-person party, you would get: [[Assault Points]] * 70% * 150% * 110%.
*If you fail a mission, you still receive 100 [[Assault Points]] as a consolation prize.
*You do not need to be in the party to get points when the [[Rune of Release]] is activated.
**However, you must be connected to the game to get points and the clear of the Assault when the [[Rune of Release]] is activated.  If you disconnect, and the party exits the Assault, regardless of whether they won or not, you will fail the Assault.
After a total party wipe, you will automatically be removed after 3 minutes. Bring Reraise items in case there is a chance you can still complete the Assault. Reraise effects will not carry over if you are automatically removed from the area.


*Experience Points are still lost upon death while inside an Assault zone, despite Assaults being classified as missions.
== Assault Points ==
*Whenever you successfully complete an Assault you receive points towards a [[Mercenary Rank]] [[promotion]].
[[Assault Points]] are awarded when the [[Rune of Release]] is activated after a successful mission.
*To cancel an [[Assault]] order, talk to [[Rytaal]] and choose 'Cancel application.' to return your orders for an [[Imperial Army I.D. Tag|I.D. tag]].
