2. How to Join
Requirements
You must be a party leader
Your party must have at least 2 members (maximum 20)
Step 1 — Register Your Party
Registration opens 5 minutes before the event starts. You have two options:
Option A — Talk to the NPC
Visit the Nightmare Rush NPC in Prontera (138, 148). She's the glowing runestone near the center of town. Select Register from her menu.
Option B — Use the command
Step 2 — Wait for the Event to Start
Once registered, a server-wide announcement confirms your party:
"[Party Name] has registered to the event. [X/Y] parties registered."
You can withdraw anytime before the event starts by talking to the NPC or running @nightmarerush again.
⚠️ If not enough parties register, the event is cancelled and any entry fees are refunded to your mailbox.
Step 3 — Get Warped In
When the countdown ends, all registered parties are automatically warped into the arena. Party leaders land first, then members are warped to the leader's location.

❌ No warping out manually
✅ PvP is enabled — watch your back!
✅ Party lock — your party is fixed for the run
Dying & Re-entering
If you die or get disconnected, don't panic! You can re-enter the arena:
Talk to the Nightmare Rush NPC in Prontera or use
@nightmarerushChoose Re-Enter from the menu
Select a party member to warp near (leader or any online member)

How Weekly Score Works
Your weekly score is the sum of all RUSH Scores earned across every event your party participated in that week. Running multiple events per day and ranking consistently every day is the key to dominating the weekly leaderboard!
9. Fragment Exchange
Currently Disabled
Collect enough Nightmare Fragments and you can exchange them for valuable boxes at the Nightmare Rush NPC in Prontera.
Exchange 1: Normal Fragments → Lhz Nightmare Box
15× any Normal Nightmare Fragment = 1× Lhz Nightmare Box
The normal fragment pool includes fragments from most standard MVPs (Osiris, Baphomet, Orc Lord, Randgris, Ifrit, etc.). You can mix and match any combination — they don't all need to be the same type.
Exchange 2: Bio Lab Fragments → Any Bio Lab Fragment
3× any Bio Lab Nightmare Fragment = 1× Bio Lab Fragment of your choice
Bio Lab fragments come from the 6 Bio Lab MVPs (Seyren, Eremes, Howard, Margaretha, Cecil, Kathryne). This lets you convert excess fragments of one type into whichever Bio Lab fragment you actually need.
How the Exchange UI Works
Open the NPC → Select Exchange
Choose which exchange type you want
Select how many of each fragment to include
The total must be divisible by the required amount (15 or 3)
Confirm and receive your reward instantly
10. Tips & FAQ
💡 General Tips
Go for Bio Lab MVPs first. Eremes (35 pts) and the other Bio Lab MVPs (25 pts) are the fastest way to pull ahead in score. Only 2 of each spawn, so race to them!
Don't ignore the Guardian. 15 pts per kill and bonus crystal drops make it worth the effort if your party is strong enough.
Coordinate re-entries. Use your 10 free warps wisely — warp to a party member near active MVPs, not across the map.
Stay together. Since re-spawned MVPs return to a random location, parties that spread out cover more ground and kill faster.
Watch the map announcements. The score updates after each kill tell you how you're doing relative to your own session, helping you gauge whether to push harder.
❓ FAQ
Q: Do I need to pay to join?
Entry is free by default. Check the event announcement or NPC description in case the server has enabled an entry fee requirement.
Q: Can I join mid-event if I'm late?
No — registration closes when the event starts. You must register during the 5-minute window before the event begins.
Q: What happens if I'm inside the arena and the event ends?
You'll be automatically warped back to Prontera when the event concludes. No need to do anything.
Q: Do all party members get fragments, or just the killer?
Only the character who lands the killing blow receives fragment and drop rolls. Make sure everyone on your team is actively fighting and contributing!
Q: I registered but wasn't warped into the arena. What happened?
This can happen if the event was cancelled (not enough parties registered). Check your mailbox — any entry fees will be returned there.
Q: Can my party fight other parties inside the arena?
PvP is enabled inside the arena, so technically yes. However, the event is scored by MVP kills, so competing parties are usually focused on hunting rather than each other.
Q: What's the best party composition for high score?
Fast-killing classes with high DPS output dominate this event. Classes with area skills can clear clustered MVPs quickly. Having a support/healer helps your team survive the 70M HP Guardian and Bio Lab MVPs.
Q: Weekly rewards go to the party leader — what about the rest of the party?
Winner placement and weekly rewards are sent to the party leader's mailbox. It's up to the leader to distribute rewards to the team. Communicate with your leader beforehand!
Q: How do I check my fragment drop rate?
Fragment drop rates are visible in your chatlog during each kill. A colored message shows whether you succeeded or failed the drop roll.
Good luck, and may your score be ever in your favor! 🌙
