Duration

2026-03-24T13:35:30Z

80.114.251.249: /* Approximation */ -> This is a terrible example. There are flat +1s and -1s modifiers to duration from mods (enchantment, but also condition duration). Saying during is "always rounded up" is factually incorrect. E.g. if you have 7s duration enchantment, with a +20% enchantment mod it's duration is 8.4->= 8s, rounded DOWN.

[[File:Effects_monitor.jpg|thumb|right|The duration of each effect is displayed as a small bar inside the icon. For effects which last indefinitely or until a specific action occurs a certain number of times, no bar is displayed.]]

[[Duration]] is the amount of time an [[effect]] lasts. Duration is always specified in [[skill]] descriptions and is measured in seconds. The amount can be fixed or vary with a skill's [[attribute]]; it can also be increased or decreased by other factors. Duration applies to effects such as [[condition]]s, [[enchantment]]s, [[ward]]s, [[hex]]es, and [[shout]]s.

Variable durations are usually show in this form: {{gr|0|15}}.
:# The first number indicates the duration for a skill with its attribute set to zero.
:# The second number displays the duration if the attribute is set to 12, i.e. the maximum value without the help of modifiers.
:# The third number shows the duration for an attribute rank of 15.

== Approximation ==
Increased or decreased durations are rounded to a whole number of seconds.

== Duration modifiers ==
Durations can be modified by other skills, by conditions, or by equipment. These increases and decreases are always measured in percentages.

In addition, some effects can be canceled or renewed by skills or changing circumstances. For example, some shouts are completely renewed when a chant or another shout is applied, while engaging a stance automatically ends any existing one.

Aggressiveness

2025-06-11T17:11:13Z

80.114.251.249: Capitalization for consistency

{{outdated info}}

[[Aggressiveness]] is a game mechanic used for tie-breaking in [[Guild versus Guild]] battles.

Aggressiveness is determined as such:
*every point of [[damage]] done to enemy Guild Lord = 1 point of aggressiveness.
*every attack done to enemy Guild Lord that misses due to blind = 30 points of aggressiveness.
*every [[enchantment]] or [[weapon spell]] cast on your Guild Lord = -50 points of aggressiveness. This can take your aggressiveness below 0.
*[[life stealing]] and [[health degeneration]] don't count as damage, and thus don't add to aggressiveness.

If both teams fail to kill the Guild Lord before 28 minutes, the team with the most aggressiveness wins the battle.
