High-Risk

What to know before you switch it on.

  1. Open the ruleset panel (portrait menu or spellbook) at level 15, in an inn or city.
  2. A death in the open world drops one equipped piece (two at 60) and your unbound bag items into a chest that lasts 10 minutes.
  3. Insure the gear half with gold at a Fel Commutation portal (gear insurance).
  4. Your killer gets 30 seconds. Then any High-Risk player can open the chest. You can reclaim your own while alive.
  5. Dungeons, raids, battlegrounds and arenas are PvE for you.
  6. The reward: +15% XP in the open world, Bloodforged gear, hidden caches, beast nests, Marks of War (all earned in High-Risk) and hourly events.
  7. Fighting a High-Risk event creature blocks hearthstones, teleports, summons and trading for 6 minutes (No Retreat).
  8. Nobody outside High-Risk can heal or buff a High-Risk player in the open world.
