Banner of Oppression
Banner of Oppression is the open-world event for cutting down Brencis's banners over the gates of Svartrau City. There are five, and taking all of them earns the Capture the Flag achievement.
- Type
- Activity
- Region
- Svartrau City
- Rewards
- XP per banner; Capture the Flag for all five
Good to know
- The Capture the Flag achievement asks you to tear down all of Brencis's flags.
- The five banners hang over the North East, North West, West, Dragosti and South gates.
- Dragosti Gate is in the middle of the city's southern wall.
- Each banner costs one time segment and gives some XP.
- Every gatehouse is guarded, so expect a fight inside.
- The achievement pops as soon as the fifth rope is cut.
What you do
Climb into each gatehouse, clear the guards in the locked room and work the rope mechanism to drop the banner. Nothing needs handing in afterwards.
Tips
Do them when you have spare segments, since each one costs a segment of the 30-day clock. Some guides say cutting them raises your Infamy, so watch your level if you want low-Infamy options in the city.
