The purpose of Garrison is to defend an outpost from attacking beastmen with up to an alliance of adventurers. The beastmen will attack in 4 waves; each wave consists of a variety of jobs including melee, mages, and ranged attackers. The final wave will include a beastman boss.

To start a Garrison quest, you need to find a unique rare/ex item in the region to participate in its respective Garrison, and then trade that item to the Conquest Overseer (Outpost Guard) at the region's outpost (see below). Only one item is required for each Garrison run. Anyone can participate in a Garrison, but only Rank 2 or higher citizens of the nation controlling the region can trade the item to the outpost guard and initiate the event. After trading the item to the guard, he will inform you about an attack on the outpost; your job will be to wipe out the invading force while keeping as many NPCs alive as possible: the more NPCs that survive, the more treasure earned.

Participating[edit]

Upon initiating the Garrison, one NPC will spawn for every party or alliance member participating. A wave of enemy mobs will then spawn and proceed to attack the NPCs (who will also fight back). After defeating all of the mobs, there will be a short delay before the next wave spawns.

The number of beastmen in each wave depends on the number of parties in your alliance:

# of Parties	1st Wave	2nd Wave	3rd Wave	4th Wave
1	2	4	6	6+NM
2	4	6	8	8+NM
3	6	8	10	10+NM

After defeating all of the waves, the person who initiated the Garrison can talk to the outpost guard to end the event and for the rewards to be placed in the treasure pool. However, this will not remove the level cap of all participating members---each member will need to speak to the outpost guard to have their level cap removed.

Restrictions[edit]

• If a party member is KO'd during the Garrison, they're out. Any players that are KO'd lose their level restriction and will be unable to help afterward.
• Passing characters cannot affect the Garrison alliance at all - they can't cure you, or attack the mobs. However, should someone get KO'd, it can be very helpful to have someone who is not participating in the event help with raises after the event is finished.
• Garrison cannot occur in an area where Ballista is occurring. This includes the day for entry, the actual match, and closing (3 game days).
• A player can only trade the item to start a Garrison once per Conquest Tally regardless of zone.
• There is a cool-down period between Garrisons in the same zone. Another Garrison can be initiated exactly 30 minutes after the initiation of the previous Garrison in the same area.
• You have 30 minutes to complete a Garrison or it will end in failure and mobs will depop.
