'''Duskruin Arena''' serves as the namesake of the bi-annual [[:Category:Duskruin|Duskruin]] event and is one of the activities available which allows characters the opportunity to gain [[bloodscrip]].

==General Information==
Adventurers can opt to fight in solo matches, or join with up to two peers and fight in 2v2 or 3v3 team matches. Each [[SimuCoin|parchment stamped voucher]], by itself or from a '''stamped voucher booklet''', offers entry into the arena for up to 25 rounds. Additionally, those who run the solo arena can choose to battle in an [[Duskruin Arena#Endless|endless]] match. {{boldmono|[[PRAY]]}} for [[stamina]] and [[mana]] recovery, but there are dangers if used more than 3 times (solo).

===Location===
The arena is located on the eastern side of Bloodriven Village, in the middle of Faida Lane (room 12 on the [[Media:Fest-duskruin-updated-2021.png|map]]).

===Matches===
* '''Solo''' - Participants entering the arena for a solo standard match will face a total of 25 combatants, with every fifth round featuring either a champion or an automaton.
** '''Endless''' - Available only to solo combatants, Endless arena matches begin after the final champion is beaten in during the standard match. No additional bloodscrip is awarded for these matches.
* '''Team''' - Groups of 2 or 3 can run team battles in the Arena, and will be faced with an equal number of opponents to those entering. Team matches no longer offer bonus bloodscrip.

===Prizes===

When your arena match ends, you will automatically receive the [[Bloodscrip]] you earned, possibly a [[WPS smithy]] invite, and a loot package.

* '''[[Bloodscrip]]''' - Maximum achievable amount for solo runs is 300. There is no longer a bonus for completing a team match. The formula for bloodscrip earned is: [10 * Rounds Completed] with an additional 50 bonus for completing all 25 rounds.
* '''[[Items]]''' - One [[weapon]], [[armor]], [[shield]], or [[enhancive]] jewelry item will also be found in your package, unless you change your preferred loot using the DUSKRUIN REWARD command (see below).
* '''[[Metal]] ores''' - Should a (metal) automaton appear in place of a standard champion during a match, an ore of that same type will be available in addition to the arena winnings.
* '''[[Experience]]''' - Experience is gained from both killing each opponent, and successful completion of all 25 rounds.
* '''[[Experience orb]]s''' - These can be rubbed to gain an additional boost to to experience earned, either as a flat amount, or as a multiplying modifier.
* '''[[WPS smithy]] invite''' - Weight/Pad/Sight your weapons or armor at the WPS Smithy Wagon in [[Bloodriven Village]]. You will not receive an invite if you already have one. Using the EVENT STATS DUSKRUIN command will show your invite status.
* '''[[Duskruin Arena#Titles|Titles]]''' - Different titles are earned based on certain thresholds met in the arena.

Beginning February 2022, there is now an option to change your preferred standard reward. This only applies to the [[Items]] heading listed above, as you will still receive your normal bloodscrip and any of the other possible random rewards listed above.

Use the DUSKRUIN REWARD command to toggle between them:

==Areas of Interest==
===The Celestial Temple===
Introduced during the April 2016 run of [[:Category:Duskruin|Duskruin]], the '''Celestial Temple''' offered additional background information for [[Bloodriven Village]] and [[Duskruin Arena]], and is tied to the collectible system for [[MoonShard pendant]]s. It continues to serve as the place to join completed moons to a pendant, and is also where the '''dwarven archaeologist''' can be found to trade [[bloodrune|flat etched stones]] for bloodscrip.

The Temple holds many secrets within its walls, and offers a way to get a [[Bloodrune Holder]] if one can figure out its puzzle.

Additionally, the [[WPS smithy]], [[forging]] slab smelter, and [[Bloodforge]] can be found within the Temple. The [[Duskruin Dig]] (discontinued) was located here during its runs.

===Bank===
The bank can be found in the upper most level of the Arena and allows adventurers the ability to deposit or withdraw based on the bank of the town travelled from.

===Spectator Seats===
'''Duskruin Arena''' offers areas to {{boldmono|[[Duskruin Arena#Verbs|WATCH]]}} the various bouts and cheer or jeer for any contestant. 2021 saw the addition of more seating in the '''Cheap Seats''', which also offer some food and drinks.
