PVP Alignment

PVP ALIGNMENT
When you first begin your adventures in Dofus, your character is neutral. Later on, you can pick to align with one of the existing factions: Bonta (the Angels) or Brakmar (the Devils).
The main purpose of choosing a faction is of course, to engage in PVP combat. Once you pick your alignment, you will be able to attack players of the opposing faction, and even neutral players if you have choose to do so. In each of the main cities there are NPCs that send you on a series of quests that will raise your rank and specialize your combat skills.
The main advantage of picking an alignment is to access the riches of Dofus, be it the access to a certain territory or the use of certain equipment or weapons. Ranks also allow you to access special resources, use certain facilities and pay less taxes.
Factions
There are two main factions in Dofus: Bonta and Brakmar. However, there is a third faction that is only active for testing on the Jiva server, the Sériane.
There really isn’t a difference between the two factions, except that they represent good and evil. It’s up to you to pick what side you want to be on.
Your rank is represented by wings, which grow bigger as you advance in ranks, and look really cool regardless!

Honor Points
The distribution of honor points is calculated by teams in proportion to the rank of each player in it. To progress up the ranks quickly, you have to constantly fight and defeat teams with a higher rank than yours. Your team gets extra points if the team rank is lower than the one you just defeated. Defeating lower-ranked teams won?t gain you any points, and you will be risking losing some. To know the rank of your team, just add up the rank of each player.
There is also a bonus for the number of players in a team, so in this case, the more the merrier!
If you decide to attack neutral players, you will be given disgrace points. A single disgrace point will stop your rank progression until you redeem yourself with enough honor points to make up for the disgrace points you had accumulated. Disgrace points also prevent you from using the bank.
Keep in mind, you don’t always have to be in PVP mode. In fact, if you deactivate it, you hide your wings. You will seem neutral but still be aligned with the faction of your choice. If someone attacks you while you’re not in PVP mode, they won’t be awarded any honor or disgrace points.
Territory Defense
The territory defense system allows players from the opposing factions to invade and conquer a village. All the players aligned with both factions will receive a warning when the zones under their control are being attacked, making it easy to assemble an army and deploy troops via the Zaaps conveniently placed in each of the villages.
So what happens in a territory battle? Basically, once a faction defeats the guards of a certain village, the gates open allowing them to invade. Gates remain open for 10 to 20 minutes (depends on the village). After this time has passed, the Prism room door opens and stays open from 5 to 10 minutes. If the Prism is destroyed, the village changes alignment and the guards respawn.
There are six villages to be conquered:
- Dopeul Village (entrance at -30,-9)
- Brigand Village (entrance at -19,-23)
- Feudala (Pandala Island North, entrance at 27,-48 )
- Akwadala (Pandala Island South, entrance at 21,-26)
- Aerdala (Pandala Island West, entrance at -19,-32)
- Terrdala (Pandala Island East entrance at 31,-35)
