Stonemist Castle under attack.jpg

Click to enlarge.

Stonemist Castle dominates the middle of these battlegrounds and has defenses like no other place in the Mists. You'll need plenty of siege weapons and allies if you plan on assaulting this imposing fortress.

  • There are three different gateways leading into the courtyard. Make sure to defend all of them.

Instructor

Stonemist Castle is located in the center of the Eternal Battlegrounds. It provides 12 points towards a world's war score every 5 minutes, greater than a regular keep which produces only 8. It is the largest objective in World versus World and placed in a very good strategic position on the main map. As such, it is a high-value target usually well defended by players and is much harder to take than a regular keep.
