== What Makes Project Artisan Different ==

=== Ancient Battlefield: MOBA x Tower Defense ===

A custom PvP battleground that brings MOBA-style team combat into Ragnarok Online:

* '''Random drafting''' - teams are drawn randomly, ignoring party/guild, so matches stay fair.
* '''In-map gear only''' - everyone fights on equal footing; skill makes the difference, not your bank account.
* '''3-lane field''' with creep waves and a neutral jungle to contest.
* '''Towers''' to defend and push as the match progresses.
* '''A global objective''' - destroy the enemy's '''Elder Tree''' (Red) or '''Frozen Throne''' (Blue) to win the match.

See [[Ancient Battlefield]] for the full breakdown (gold, relics, gear, win condition) and [[Player Commands]] for how to queue in.

=== Battle Pass: Season 1 - Genesis ===

Complete daily and weekly missions to earn Battle Pass EXP and unlock rewards as you level the pass - Yggdrasil Berry Boxes, Stat +10 Food Boxes, Headgear and Weapon Costume Tickets, and an exclusive Season costume. The Premium Track's signature reward for Season 1 is the full '''Saiyan Set''' (Saiyan Hair, Saiyan Aura, Saiyan Electric Aura).

=== Balanced Progression & Itemization ===

* '''150 DEX''' for instant cast (no cast delay) on your skills.
* '''MVP Card drop rate''': 1-5%, scaling with the MVP's rarity.
* '''Common Card drop rate''': 20%.
* '''Common Equipment drop rate''': 100%.
* '''Finely-tuned gears''' for well-balanced gameplay.
* '''Customized MVP cards''' with reworked effects built for this server.
