[Suggestion] Ferrnord's Castle (Non-Instanced Dungeon)
This is a suggestion for an Openfield dungeon based on an Imperial Castle. This dungeon have 5 zones:
[SIZE="5"]1. Imperial Castle[/SIZE]
This zone is only aggresive if u are an Enemy of the Empire (u attacked an Imperial in the last 24Hours)
- Level 45-50 Imperial soldiers
- Melee patrols walking around (not static)
- Archers and Musketeers on walls
- Some mages on Headquarters wall and random walking.
- If u sleep a soldier in a wall before he aggro you, he will wake up not attacking you (lose all aggro before wake up)
- Unable to pass to Main building (Headquarters) if u have not a full Imperial Armor equiped (specific gear for each role, mages rangers and melee)
- Wearing Imperial armor allow you to sneak into headquarter if u dont go too close to a real soldier. (shorter aggro range) Don't work on Imperial War Hounds
- Optional features
- You can create a diversion to clear your path to the headquarters (Fire on a house, fight between two players with Imperial Armor.
- 3 Entrances, Main door and 2 by river (if swimming implemented)

Main floor, full of soldiers.
- Level 50-54 Imperial soldiers | NM: lvl 56

[SIZE="5"]5. Commander's Chamber[/SIZE]
HNM open zone (something like Dragon's Aery in FFXI, where all people can enter there but only who got the NM can attack him.) something like Ifrit battle, but fighting Commander Ferrnord.
I want Square to surprise me, but here i post posible skills Commander can have:
- Weapon: Great Sword
- Call to Arms: Summoning Soldiers (every X minuts)
- Cross Slash: Powerfull Single Attack
- Shockwave: Powerfull AoE Attack
- Ultimate attack: Omnislash (Teleporting to random players and slashing them 15 times )
- Cure V (around 2-3k HP)
Something like this
