Warband

For the league, see Warbands league.

Tiers

Warbands are sparated into 4 tiers. The tier of a zone determines what kind of monsters can spawn. Tier 4 allows for the thoughest warbands (the bosses) while Tier 1 only spawns the weakest.

The current tier of the zone can be found with two methods:

• it will be shown with small dots next to circle of the map (2 pairs of 1 dot for Tier 1, 2 pairs of 2 dots for Tier 2 and so on).
• there will be a message on the map modifiers such as ("Captured by the Binerot"); see the faction section below for details

Tier	Restrictions
1	Level 2+ Zones
2	Level 10+ Zones
3	Level 41+ Zones (Cruel+)
4	Level 56+ Zones (Merciless)

In addition to those restrictions, zone level will also affect the number of potential warbands can spawn from each tier. At lower levels you'll only see 2 warbands, where as on 68+ zones up to 6 warbands can spawn in total.

Factions

Warbands are separated into 4 faction each based on an element.

Element	Faction
Fire	Redblade
Cold	Mutewind
Lightning	Binerot
Chaos	Unknown/Unannounced

The faction of the enemies can generally be found out using the following techniques:

• looking at the map; the map icons will have appopinately themed icons (i.e. lightning, fire, ice)
• the mod in the upper right corner

Depending on the tier, the message on the upper right corner will change:

Tier	Faction	Message
1	Redblade	Redblade Scouts
2	Redblade	Redblade Raiders
3	Redblade	Redblade Fanatics
4	Redblade	Conquered by the Redblade
1	Mutewind	Mutewind Trackers
2	Mutewind	Mutewind Hunters
3	Mutewind	Mutewind Purifiers
4	Mutewind	Cleansed by the Mutewind
1	Brinerot	Brinerot Lookouts
2	Brinerot	Brinerot Pillagers
3	Brinerot	Brinerot Buccaneers
4	Brinerot	Captured by the Brinerot
