Bandit

Related in Fights: The Fights Screen | Bandit | Wight | PvP Rules

The Bandit is a solo training fight on the Fights → PvE tab. The same practical gates apply as in player duels: enough health, no attack cooldown, not jailed in the cellars, and not in Illumara. Bandit fights do not change your win/loss record, league points, or honour fight history.

Requirements

• More than 25 health
• Your attack cooldown ready (bandit fights keep you waiting a little longer than a normal duel before you can strike again)
• Not in Illumara
• Not captive

Win chance

The bandit is not equally dangerous every day. On some days of the month his fighting spirit runs high; on other days he seems slower or more careless. Check the odds on the card before you commit. They reflect today, not forever.

A chest artifact worn in battle can nudge your chances the same way it does against other NPC foes such as corsairs.

Rewards

Victory: You earn gold and experience. You still lose some health, and a piece of gear may take light wear.

Defeat: No gold, but you still gain a little experience. Health loss is usually harsher than on a win, and gear can still be damaged.

Bandit fights never drop artifacts.

Tips

• Useful during your first-hour PvP shield: you can spar, while stronger players cannot challenge you yet.
• Repair kit after heavy sparring so durability does not catch you off guard in a real duel.
• For a night-time challenge with richer loot, see Wight.
