Editing Arenas (section)

== How Arenas Work ==

Each Arena is a timed combat action, just like an [[Ecology|expedition]] — you start it, it runs on a timer, and it can be run offline like the rest of the game.

* An Arena for a biome only appears '''after you have defeated that biome's guardian''' in the story.
* Every attempt costs '''tribute''' (see below), which is spent whether you win '''or''' lose.
* Winning pays out '''guardian crests''' (an [[Items|Amber]]-value reward) every time, and has a chance to drop pieces of the exclusive '''Primal set'''.
* Combat uses the normal expedition damage rules, so higher tiers demand serious food stocks. As with expeditions, a low-health safeguard stops the fight before it becomes fatal.

With ten guardians in the valley and three tiers each, there are thirty Arena bouts in total.
