[[Challenge Mission]]s are special repeatable [[mission]]s where a single player or a team of four to eight players (exact number is mission dependent) battle against either monsters or AI controlled players under special victory and failure conditions. Depending on a team's achievements in a mission, the team members are rewarded with various amounts of [[faction|faction points]], [[experience]], [[gold]], or [[armor]] pieces. Challenge mission ladders are maintained both by a [[records keeper]] [[NPC]] in the respective outposts for the area the missions take place. These ladders document daily, monthly, and quarterly scores.
