EssenceRO Minigame Arena is a selection of party oriented mini-games, that run every six hours (06:00, 12:00, 18:00 and 00:00 server time). Each time the arena is opened, there will be a global server announcement - and all players wishing to participate must enter their arena within five minutes, via the Minigame Arena NPCs (see left), and after paying the entrance fee.
Participants in Survival Arena must complete five levels of the arena in total - completing the final level will cause the Prize NPC to spawn in the centre, who'll give you your prize and warp you out of the arena. Note that once you enter, all your @commands will be blocked from use - this means no storaging inside the arena, so take as much as you can carry! If you're killed during the arena, you can be resurrected - but if all participants are dead, or no one is able to resurrect, then you'll have to wait until the next Survival Arena begins - there's no going back! Winners receive a prize based on the difficulty level they participated in.
In Time Attack, participants must activate eight checkpoints guarded by powerful monsters before the time limit (15 minutes) expires. In Race to the Finish, players must navigate the turbo track and race to the end. Prize is determined by how fast you finish.
Note that each minigame has limits:
Details Can be traded via Essence Kafra for prizes
Each Minigame gives prizes in the form of eRO Minigame Tokens. These can be traded to the Essence Kafra (in all towns) for prizes - which include usable items, headgears, and miscellaneous items.
