The Castle Gates- The castle gates have defensive power/durability (HP) and can only be attacked during the siege. Weapon durability is greatly reduced when attacking the castle gates, therefore it is strongly advised to take a Potion of Bless or Soul before attacking.
- When an alliance guild wins the castle while the castle gates are destroyed, the gates will not be restored until the siege is over.
- The castle gates can be upgraded up to a maximum of 3 stages of defensive power and durability. (upgrading and restoring is not possible during the battle)



The castle gates are divided into 3 parts; with an outer part, a middle part, and an inner part.
It is possible to penetrate the castle even if only one gate is destroyed.

Guardian Statues

- When all 4 statues inside the castle have been destroyed, the shield blocking entrance into the Dragon Tower vanish.
- Only the players of the defending team can enter through the shield.
- Recover HP/MP/AG around the guardian statue and recovery rate can be upgraded up to maximum of 3 stages.
