Runatorium, a circular arena from ancient times, was once the hotspot where the Danuar indulged in thrilling events. Battling vicious beasts was the main entertainment in those eras. Now, Beritra's scouts have discovered a certain badass monster, whose body has become warped due to the ide corruption. Both the Elyos and Asmodians journey forth, tasked with figuring out what makes the Balaurs so crazy about this arena. Once more, the two factions, consumed by the quest for knowledge, are destined to collide fiercely and passionately.

Runatorium pits Elyos against Asmodians in a 6 vs 6 combat zone. Expect to face Balaurs, clever traps, and the ancient beast Kunax, whose form is altered by prolonged ide exposure. Defeating Kunax concludes the battle, and the team accumulating the highest score triumphs.

Accessing the zone:
This battleground is open to players between levels 61 and 65.
Team size: 6.
Entry limit: Twice daily.

Schedule:

Saturday from 12:00 to 14:00 and from 20:00 to 22:00

- Balaurs within the arena respawn at intervals after being slain.
- The ultimate reward window reveals itself either when time runs out or right after Kunax's defeat.

Features of the arena:

Unstable Ide Energy

This energy is scattered almost everywhere across the arena, identifiable by its vibrant blue glow.
Getting caught in an Ide geyser inflicts damage and temporarily slows movement and attack speeds.

P olluted waters

The arena’s central water feature is tainted with Ide, slowing anyone who sets foot in it.

Exit locking device
A mechanism that traps foes at their starting ground by unleashing intense flames (a fiery barrier creates a no-go zone for 1 minute).

Intelligence Supply Boxes

Five and ten minutes into the skirmish, chests containing essential items emerge, providing an upper hand over opponents.

 

 

Kunax
Kunax, the ancient Runatorium beast, emerges ten minutes post-battle commencement.

1. Unleashes assaults from afar.
2. Induces paralysis effect; characters with this do not endure damage for 20 seconds.
3. Inflicts blindness and silence.
4. Activates mass aethershold for 20 sec.
5. If its targets wander off or perish, Kunax's health remains unhealed.
6. Once the boss is vanquished, the victorious team garners 6000 points, ending the Runatorium skirmish.

 

Chronology of events

- 5 minutes in, the first batch of supplies shows up in the arena.
- 10 minutes in, Kunax and a second supply drop arrive.
- After 10 minutes, the mechanics for earning points from defeating enemy characters change.
- Completion of the Runatorium battle occurs after 20 minutes.

Rewards:

 

Dear players,

New PvP dungeon is launched in TEST MODE. If the dungeon doesn't show any issues and functions correctly, it will be left on the permanent basis. In case of problems, it will be disabled and/or fixed.

For the nearest future, the schedule will be as follows:

What a nice implementation, you are great guys! Thanks for the effort
 

Should have auto entry queue like dredge so people can't dodge.  This should be default and forces people to queue.  I'm pretty sure in retail they also had a reward box win or losing same as JMR/EOB, (ancient coins). Thanks for adding this instance and not pushing a new patch.  I like "classic" Aion for a reason.  Good job and nice work!
