Monstrous Gauntlet

Monstrous Gauntlet is a timed PvE wave event with protected deaths and per-wave rewards.

Schedule

• Week 3 Saturday.
• 4-hour event window (default 12:00 to 16:00 ET).

Joining and Registration

• /gauntlet register: pre-register for auto-teleport when event starts.
• /gauntlet unregister: cancel pre-registration.
• /gauntlet join: join while event is active.
• /gauntlet leave: leave and return to your saved location.
• /gauntlet info: view current round, mobs, and rewards.

Join Rules

• You cannot join while combat-tagged.
• If you disconnect while registered, rejoining can auto-place you back in.

Arena Rules

Inside the gauntlet arena:

• No block placing or breaking.
• No item durability loss.
• Fire/lava/hot-floor damage is cancelled.
• PvP between players is cancelled.
• Arena world is keep-inventory and immediate-respawn.

Death Behavior (Important)

If you die in the gauntlet:

• You keep your inventory.
• You drop no items.
• You lose no XP.
• Death-stat inflation is rolled back.
• You respawn back in arena flow.

This is why gauntlet deaths do not cost your normal gear set.

Wave System

Default tuning (can be adjusted per season):

• 10 rounds total.
• Round timer: 150s.
• Intermission: 25s.
• Base mobs: 12, then scaling each round.

Mobs are empowered each wave with:

• boosted health/damage/speed scaling
• extra potion buffs
• higher pressure each round

If a round times out, the event auto-advances to avoid getting stuck.

Rewards

• Highest player damage in each wave gets a random custom item.
• Reward cap exists (default 10).
• If winner inventory is full, reward can drop at their feet.

Practical Tips

• Bring full combat PvE kits and sustain.
• Joining mid-event is allowed; use /gauntlet join.
