New rules for the Node War have been added and some rules have changed.
  -  A guild can conquer a maximum of 6 nodes in a week. The number of nodes that a guild owns will be reset to 0 at the end of each Conquest War every Saturday.
  -  A guild cannot own Beginner Nodes and Normal Nodes at the same time.
  -  Also, Node Territories will be divided into two groups: Balenos/Serendia and Calpheon/Mediah/Valencia.  If you own a node in Group 1, you cannot participate in the Node War for Group 2, and vice versa.
  -  Extra Node War can only be held within the same territory.
  -  In order to go for a Domination Node, a guild must own at least one Normal Node.
  -  When a guild that owns Normal Nodes is going for Domination Nodes, the territory the guild can participate will be determined based on the Nodes it owns.
  -  If a guild owns Normal Nodes in Balenos or Serendia, the guild can challenge the Domination Node in one of the two territories.
  -  If a guild owns Normal Nodes in Calpheon, Mediah, or Valencia, the guild can challenge the Domination Node in one of the three territories.
  -  Based on the number of Nodes the guild owns, the max number of players that can participate in the Extra Node War will be different.

  -  The guild members who will be participating in the warfare can be determined by a newly-added system called the “Node War Qualification” system. The Guild Leader can give each guild member the opportunity to participate in the Node War (5 times max).
  -  The players who do not have any “qualifications” left cannot participate in Node Wars.
  -  For example, if a guild has 100 members, the Guild Leader can give one “opportunity” to 100 members, two “opportunities” to 80 members, three “opportunities” to 60 members, and so on. All 100 members can participate in the first Node War, but only 80 members (who have more than one “opportunities”) will be able to participate in the second Node War. In the third Node War (when the guild owns two Nodes), only the members who got 3 to 5 “opportunities” (which will be 60 members) can participate. In the sixth and the last Node War (when the guild owns 5 Nodes), no one can participate and the only thing they can do is build Forts.
  -  The “Node War Qualification” cannot be changed during Node/Conquest Wars.

In order to create a better Node War environment, starting from 20:50, all types of PvP will be unavailable in the server where a Node War is going on.

1vs1 Leader Duel has been added for Node War.
  -  Before the Node War in Calpheon, Mediah, and Valencia begins, one player from each side can have a 1vs1 duel to make the warfare more intense and give useful buffs to each side by winning the duel.
  -  The Duel Arena will be built at 20:52. The players who are on the spot might get stuck, so move your character somewhere else before 20:52.
  -  Starting from 20:52, the members of the attacking side can challenge their opponent to a duel by interacting with the Wooden Fence Gate.
  -  If the attacking side does not make a challenge, a duel will not happen on that day.
  -  Anyone can challenge the opponent to a duel. The participants will not be able to do any forms of PvP or Savage Rift.
  -  The players who are not participating in the 1vs1 Leader Duel will be moved to the closest town.
  -  The participants will have one minute to prepare starting from 20:55, and start the duel at 20:56. The duel will last for 3 minutes max.
  -  The Duel ends when one of the two is killed. If both are alive after 3 minutes, the one who has more HP left will be the winner.
  -  When the attacking side wins: +1000 max HP for everyone in the attacking side (disappears upon death, 1 hour duration)
  -  When the defending side wins: +1000 max HP for everyone in the defending side (disappears upon death, 1 hour duration)
  -  When the defending side did not answer the challenge: +500 max HP for everyone in the attacking side (does not disappear upon death, 1 hour duration)
