Castle Siege
Castle Siege guide for MajesticMU — how guilds fight for the castle, seal mechanics, taxes, and weekly schedule.
Overview
Castle Siege is the flagship guild vs. guild competition in MajesticMU. Once per week, guilds battle for control of the Castle of Lorencia. The winning guild gains the title of Castle Lord and earns the right to collect a percentage of taxes from all market transactions on the server for the entire week.
Schedule
- Siege Day: Every Saturday
- Registration: Opens 3 days before siege day
- Duration: 1 hour (battle phase)
- Intermission: Castle is "owned" for the remaining week until the next siege
How to Register
- Your guild master must visit the Guild NPC in Lorencia.
- Register your guild as a Siege Participant before the registration deadline.
- Guilds with fewer than 5 members may be ineligible — check current server rules.
Siege Mechanics
The Seal of Ascendance
The Seal of Ascendance is the core objective. It is placed in the centre of the castle throne room. To win the siege:
- Your guild must hold the Seal when the timer expires.
- Only the guild master of the holding guild can "claim" the seal.
- Other guilds can destroy the seal holder to force a reset.
Guard Statues
The defending guild (castle owner from the previous week) starts the siege with Guard Statues active inside the castle. These statues automatically attack all non-allied players. Attackers must destroy the statues to gain access to the inner halls.
- Guard Statue HP: Scales with castle owner's guild level
- Guard Statue Damage: High — bringing ranged classes to destroy them from a distance is recommended
Castle Gate
The Front Gate is the only entry point for attacking guilds. It must be destroyed before entering the castle proper.
- Gate HP: 50,000 HP
- Recommended: 5+ high-level players focusing the gate simultaneously
Castle Lord Benefits (Weekly)
The winning guild enjoys:
- Tax Revenue: 10–15% of all market sales go to the castle treasury
- Special Title: Guild tag displays "Castle Lord" in chat
- Castle NPC Access: Exclusive NPCs inside the castle available to guild members only
- Guild Bonus Buffs: Area buffs active in the castle zone for all allied members
Tips for Attackers
- Coordinate gate destruction first — the entire raid should focus the gate before spreading out.
- Assign a tanky guild master to claim the seal — they'll be targeted immediately.
- Disrupt the defender's formation — force them away from the seal rather than fighting in open areas.
- Use ranged DPS to eliminate guard statues safely before rushing.
Tips for Defenders
- Form a tight perimeter around the seal — don't let attackers near it.
- Keep Guard Statues alive as long as possible — they are your free DPS.
- Split teams — one group holds the seal, one group disrupts attackers at the gate.
