Castle Sieges are some of the most iconic large-scale PvP events in Lineage II. They bring together clans, alliances, and mercenaries in epic battles to claim control of powerful castles across Aden. Owning a castle provides prestige, income, and unique advantages, making sieges a central part of endgame content.
🔹 What Are Castle Sieges? #
- Massive battles where clans fight to control castles.
- Scheduled every two weeks on official servers (time may vary on private servers).
- Involves both attackers and defenders, with hundreds of players often participating.
🔹 How to Participate #
- Clan Registration
- Only clans of level 4+ can register.
- The clan leader must sign up as Attacker or Defender before the deadline (usually 24 hours prior).
- Mercenaries
- Players not in a participating clan can join as mercenaries by signing a contract.
- During the Siege
- Attackers must break into the castle, defeat guards, and destroy the main seal/artefact.
- Defenders must prevent attackers from doing so until the timer runs out.
🔹 Rewards of Owning a Castle #
- Prestige & Control: The clan’s crest flies proudly on the castle.
- Taxes: The ruling clan can set taxes on shops in nearby towns (e.g., Giran, Aden).
- Clan Hall Buffs: Castles provide access to special NPCs and unique buffs.
- Economy Boost: Regular income of Adena for the ruling clan.
🔹 Strategy Tips #
- Attackers:
- Focus on coordinated pushes instead of scattering.
- Take down defensive structures (gates, walls) systematically.
- Protect the artifact room once breached.
- Defenders:
- Position archers and nukers on walls for maximum coverage.
- Use tanks and healers to block choke points.
- Organize resurrection cycles to keep numbers strong.
⚔️ Why Sieges Matter #
Castle Sieges are more than just battles — they shape the political landscape of the server.
Clans gain power, rivalries are forged, and alliances can rise or fall depending on the outcome of a single weekend of war.
👉 With preparation, teamwork, and strategy, your clan can rise to power and etch its name into the history of the server through Castle Sieges.
