Editing Land Control (section)

== Taking a Keep ==
# Before the Keep reverts back the Creeping Blight and can be claimed again there are several global messages that go out to announce the change. The global messages start one hour before the Keep is available.
# When you see the globals you should get ready and become a player killer then head out to whichever Keep is about to revert to the Creeping Blight.
# When the Keep reverts back to the Creeping Blight the Society Soldiers will be replaced with Moarsmen and Armored Sclavus. Three Creeping Blight Banners will appear in the Keep: one in the Courtyard, the Spire, and the Tower.
#* '''Note:''' The creatures there do not yield any xp nor do they have any loot or trophies.
# Use one of the Banners to claim it for your society. A single player can only use one Banner every 5 minutes so unless you have 2 other people with you from the same society you will have to wait about 15 minutes to get every Banner solo.
# There is a 5 minute waiting period after you use a Banner till the time it is officially claimed. During this time the Banner can be destroyed by someone from a rival society. After 5 minutes the Banner is claimed but is still able to be killed but gains a regeneration rate making it harder to kill. If a player from a rival society claims a Banner you have to destroy their Banner in order to revert it back to the Creeping Blight then you can claim it. The best way to kill a banner is with archers using rended weapons and perching it from above (rended weps because the banners cannot be imped/vulned).
# Once all three Banners have been claimed by the same society for five minutes then you have successfully captured the Keep.
# Unless the [[Crystal Array (Land Control)|Crystal Array]] (see below) is destroyed then your society will control the keep for roughly the next 3 days (68 hours).

===Rewards=== 
Once your faction controls the keep, it will gain the following benefits:
# In the Courtyard an NPC called [[Mitsuhara Takeo]] (CH), [[Mitsuhara Kamekeka]] (EW), or [[Mitsuhara Ryuhi]] (RB) will spawn. Talk to him and he will reward you with a [[Braced Mana Forge Key]]. You must be a PK to receive the reward. The NPC remains at the Keep for 5 minutes.
# Access to the [[Black Market]] (level 180+) which is found down the tunnel in the center of the Keep.
# A [[Buffing Array]] crystal will appear next to the Black Market Cave entrance in the courtyard that will provide 90 minute level VIII life protections.
# The Keep will fill with Soldiers that will defend your fort and attack players of the opposing factions.
