You might have noticed a lot of overgrown metallic
mushrooms springing up on various locations all over the planet of Rubi-Ka. These
towers are all part of the new addition to the game - Notum Wars, allowing guilds
to increase their members skills quite a bit. |

There are various types of towers, all separated by their respective Tower-types,
ranging from the Control Tower and Turrets to the Guardians and Special towers.
The Special Towers will be presented in a later guide, since these are trade-skill
only towers, and will need some construction in order to function. The amount
of towers you can place is totally dependant on your level, like so:
| Level 15 |
You may place 1 tower |
| Level 75 |
You may place 2 towers |
| Level 150 |
You may place 3 towers |
| Level 200 |
You may place 4 towers |
As well as limits to how many towers you may place, there are also other personal
and organizational limits as to how many towers of each type you may place, which
means you have to plan ahead a bit if you really want your organization to get
as much out of the towers as you want. An organization may not place more than
one type of controller at a time, IE - you are not allowed to have two separate
QL200 Control Towers. Placing a QL200 and a QL10 Control Tower at separate locations
is fine however. Organizations are also restricted to a max amount of five Control
Towers (or bases). As for the individual player, you may not place two towers
of the same type. For instance, you may not place two Solar Turrets.

With the basic rules spread out, lets start with
the first thing you will need in order to put up the rest of your base, the Control
Tower. The Control Tower will allow you to build more towers on the patch of land
you have claimed as your own. The Control Tower will also allow your guild to
have the guild-advantages in our separate guide about those.
Control Towers will determine the quality level of the guild advantages you will
be using, so make sure you try to build as high of a control tower that the landpatch
allows. If the area has a range of QL100-200 it is really a shame to build a QL100
tower there, since a lot of potential will just be wasted. To be able to place
a control tower, you must be part of the organizations top three ranks and of
course possess enough skill to place the tower. A QL200 Control Tower requires
800 Computer literacy and 600 Psychology skill to put up. |
Turrets next. Turrets are towers that will do most of the fighting. They give
personal buffs, just like any other tower, but are more suitable to fire on intruders.
There are a few of these Turrets that you may build - they are as follows...
 |
|
 |
|
Fire Sprouting Turret
This tower gives its owner personal bonuses to Dimach, Riposte, Brawling
and Martial Arts, and should be a very nice for Martial Artists and perhaps Enforcers
to place inside your base. |
|
 |
|
|
 |
|
Massive Cannon Turret
The Massive Cannon Turrets is a dream come true for any healing profession,
since it adds to both Biomet and Mat metam and as such will be a welcome addition
for any doctors in the organization. |
|
|
|
|
 |
|
Simple Missile Turret
This turret adds some to melee AC. Other than that it feels a lot like
this tower is only a filler unless you have any better ideas on what to place. |
|
|
|
|
 |
|
Solar Turret
If you like playing it safe, a Solar turret is never wrong. It adds an
overall AC-bonus to its owner and is a basic cornerstone in building your base.
After all, who would say no to an extra body armor? |
|
|
Turrets are the prime defense for your base. You will really want to get these
unless you are certain that your base is in such an area that getting there is
too much of a hassle for any attackers to bother with it. Important to note is
that you may only place a single turret of each type, which means that you are
not allowed to place two Massive Cannon Turrets, like mentioned earlier.
The nicest turrets are trade-skill only and includes the pulse-turrets, the decloaker
and the real heavy-duty ones like the Atomic Turrets.
 |
|
And last but not least the Guardian Towers. Guardian
Conductor Towers are towers that will not only give personal advantages but also
AOE (Area Of Effect) buffs/debuffs when your base is being attacked either by
increasing your own defending sides stats or by decreasing the attacking side
stats.
Although guardian towers will shoot (a bit) they are highly unreliable as for
defensive purposes. You should back up your Conductors with regular turrets in
order to get a strong base setup. Like with the Turrets, the really nice Conductors
are trade-skill only and includes amongst others towers like the Conductor of
Corruption which increases both TimeSpace and Matcreation skills. And, if someone
could please come to the Towers Shop in Borealis and stop Twicer from drooling
all over that QL250 Guardian Conductor of Focus tower adding to tradeskills, we
would appreciate it... |
The various non-tradeskill Guardian Conductors bonuses are as follows...
|
| |
 |
|
Guardian Conductor of Derivation
Gives a personal owner buff to Nano Init as well as an AOE effect of
-Nano Init to any opponent in the area. |
|
 |
|
Guardian Conductor of Speed
Gives a buff to Physical and Melee Init as well as an smaller AOE effect
to Physical and Melee Init
to any ally in the area. |
|
| |
 |
|
Guardian Conductor of Life
Gives a nice personal buff to Hitpoints for its owner as well as an AOE
Heal Delta to any allies in the area. |
|
 |
|
Guardian Conductor of Tapping
Gives a personal owner buff to Concealment as well as an AOE effect of
-HP to any opponent in the area. |
|
| |
 |
|
Guardian Conductor of Mind
Gives a personal buff to Nanopool as well as an AOE Nano delta to any
allies in the area. |
|
 |
|
Guardian Conductor of Transfer
Gives an owner buff to all defensive checks (Add All Def) as well as
an AOE debuff to All Def to any opponent in the area. |
|
| |
 |
|
Guardian Conductor of Ransacking
Gives a small wrangle-effect to ranged weaponskills and also an AOE debuff
the same skills to any opponent in the area. |
|
 |
|
Guardian Conductor of Will
Gives a personal owner buff to Psymod and SenseImp as well as an AOE
buff to Nano Resist to any ally in the area. |
|
|
|
As you can see, the non-tradeskill conductors, and indeed the majority of the
Turrets are the most common cornerstones of any base. They are easy to balance
out with the organization advantages and compliment eachother quite nicely. Nevertheless,
if you intend on having a larger and higher QL base, we strongly recommend that
you take a look at the various tradeskill-towers as well as these are more specialized
and att more surprises to anyone foolish enough to attack your base.
