If you are interested in any form of RvR content on Warhammer (Spoiler Alert: it’s a big part of the game)
I highly recommend installing the State of Realm Addon.
For this section, I will be using the State of Realm addon as a reference, so if this is your first time reading and you are confused as to what I am looking at – it is the Addon. It is possible to utilise the game map as a reference – but honestly, download the addon.
Depending on what zones are open at the time you are logged in you will see something that looks like this:
On Return of Reckoning, we have sectioned the tiers into two. Tier 1 (levels 1 to level 15) and Tier 4 (level 16 to level 40).
Find the icon on your minimap that looks like this:
Right click the Icon and ‘untick’ either Tier 1 (if you’re level 16 and above) or Tier 4 (if you’re below level 16).
For this guide I will be showing the available Tier 1 zones:
So a quick overview of this – we see here there are two pairings open, Empire vs Chaos (Norsca – Nordland) and Dwarves vs Greenskins (Ekrund – Mount Bloodhorn).
You have a few options of getting to these locations. First, you can find the nearest flypoint on your map and fly to the zones. The second option you have (and the quicker and cheaper one) is to use the War Report. The War Report is this icon on your minimap:
When you open this War Report, you should see the following:
Note: This War Report updates live with the RvR campaign status – you may not see these exact locations. However, you will always see an option that will take you to one of the RvR zones available. Use the right arrow button to switch through to Tier 2, Tier 3 and Tier 4 – dependant on the pairing.
Once you teleport to the RvR zone – you are now in the Warcamp – a friendly hub on the border of the lake (PvP zone). At this point, I would recommend you join up with a Warband of players. You can do that by accessing the Parties and Warband panel, which looks like this at the top of your screen:
From this panel, you can see the Open Warbands at the time:
If you were to hover over one of the two options, you would see one is a Tier 1 warband (for players 1-15) and the other is a Tier 4 warband (for players 16 and above).
Once you ‘Join’ one of these warbands you can speak to your allies, open the map, and meet up with them, and start taking part in the RvR experience! More information on the basics of RvR can be found
here.
