While Warhammer Online has some of the best player versus player action on the market, there is always room for improvement and Mythic Entertainment knows this! In order to make WAR RvR more rewarding, they are proposing a token system allowing players to earn medallions & crests for RvR kills and spend them on the rewards that they want!
RvR Quartermaster System Summary
The RvR Quartermasters are "Barter" merchants who will trade players special items and equipment in exchange for specific items earned in RvR. These Quartermasters offer players an alternative way of obtaining items in RvR such as the item sets normally obtained via Keep PQ bags. In addition the RvR Quartermasters will offer exclusive items and rewards not obtainable elsewhere.
System Goals
* Incentive RvR performance and participation
* Further expansion of RvR rewards, including specific "Disposable" or "Renewable" items that help RvR performance
* Award all players that participate in various RvR activities regardless of contribution or luck
* Provide players with an alternative path to gaining items that gate later content
* Help offset "Bad Luck", allowing players to obtain items they may not have gotten out of PQ's due to unlucky rollsMedallions & Crests - RvR Currency
Medallions are the basic currency of the Quartermaster system. There are two basic types of Medallions they are
Common Medallions
Common Medallions are the basic barter currency used in the system. These are the medallions that are handed out frequently and in larger quantities for most RvR events. Players will use common medallion types to purchase lower level equipment and disposable items throughout their RvR play experience. In addition common medallions will be required as part of the purchase cost for unique powerful items.
Common medallions are awarded in Tier 1 through Tier 4 and come in 4 types
* Recruit's Medallion
- Tier 1 RvR Medallion, 5 recruit medallions can be exchanged for 1 Scout's Medallion
* Scout's Medallion
- Tier 2 RvR medallion, 5 recruit medallions can be exchanged for 1 Soldier's Medallion
* Soldier's Medallion
- Tier 3 RvR medallion, 5 recruit medallions can be exchanged for 1 Officer's Medallion
* Officer's Medallion
- Tier 4 RvRRare Crests
Rare crests are awarded less frequently and from very specific events.
These Rare medallions are used in combination with common medallions to
purchase powerful endgame items. The types of Rare medallions are below* Conqueror's Crest- T4 Campaign & Fortress Medallions. 1 Conqueror crest can be exchanged for 5 Officer medallions
* Invader's Crest - Early City Siege Crests. 1 Invader Crest can be exchanged for 5 Conqueror Crests.
* Warlord's Crest - Advanced City Siege Crests. 1 Warlord Crest can be exchanged for 5 Invader Crest.
* Sovereign's Crest - Endgame RvR Medallions. Sovereign medallion can be exchanged for 5 Warlord Medallions.
There is a lot more information to be had and developer Adam Gershowitz has got a major thread going for providing info and to leave feedback on what you think of this idea. Get everything you need to know on the official WAR forums!
