Combat & Protection
New-Player Protection
Understand the account-age protection window and how starting combat can end it early.
Protection window
Normal account-age protection lasts through the first world-cycle boundary after your account reaches 30 days old. Reaching 30 days during a cycle does not immediately remove that protection; the following cycle boundary is what matters unless you end protection early by starting player combat.
A protected player cannot be targeted by normal Fort raids or Hired Gun skirmishes.
Ending protection early
Successfully starting player combat ends the attacker's remaining protection early. This applies to Fort raids and Hired Gun skirmishes.
An attack rejected because the target is protected does not itself end the attacker's protection.
