[edit] Behavior
Once repaired click the lever once to load and then again to launch the projectile.
[edit] GvG
Two trebuchet appear at fixed positions in some Guild Halls. Each points towards one or other of the bases on the map and can be used to randomly launch projectiles into the zone between the bases gate and the region where the Guild Lord is located. A trebuchet's projectiles do sufficient damage to kill most characters outright.
To work they must first be repaired using a Repair Kit.
Once repaired the trebuchet can be used any number of times. To fire the trebuchet it must first be loaded by clicking the lever once. It will take six seconds for the trebuchet to reach the state it is able to fire the projectile. To fire the lever is clicked again. The projectile will impact seven seconds after that click.
The trebuchet do not work after Victory or Death.
[edit] PvE
- A trebuchet is available in the Fort Ranik mission for characters after repairing it using three repair parts applied to the firing lever.
- These trebuchet launch projectiles at fixed locations which can significantly reduce the enemies in the mission, but beware, for they can can also kill players too if they are struck by its projectiles.
[edit] Notes
- Prior to the February 6 2008 game update GvG trebuchet could be used during Victory or Death to eliminate the opposition's NPCs.
- The trebuchet deals 707 Fire damage to 60 AL.
