The following changes have been made to Brenner:

You can now speak to a Pursuivant in Bastok, San d'Oria, or Windurst to participate in an official match. However, you must have heard the Brenner explanation from the NPC Afdeen in Upper Jeuno at least once.

You can now earn points in the following ways:
-Your team lights a Flammen-Brenner: 1 point
-You seize a Flamme from the opposing team: 2 points
-Your team successfully defends its Flamme for a set duration after achieving Complete status: 1 point

The Flammen-Brenner will now recover from damage under the following conditions:
-The Flammen-Brenner will gradually recover after not receiving damage for a certain amount of time.
-By activating the new option "Repair by Petra," any Flammen-Brenner near a Petra-holding player who is not on the opposing side will absorb that player's Petra and use it to recover damage. However, there is a limit to the number of times this ability can be used.

Posten behavior has been altered in the following ways:
- Posten will no longer attack targets that are under the effect of “Sleep” or “Bind.”
- Some of the spells used by Posten have been changed.
Now you can alter the KO penalty under "current settings." The penalty before this update was equivalent to what is now the "level 1" setting, although the conditions under which the penalty is incurred have been slightly altered.
The prerequisites for achieving Complete status in an official match can no longer be changed.
After altering certain rules in an official match, the changes will be announced to everyone in the area.
In the event of a called game 10 minutes or less into an official match, the losing team will now earn a reduced number of experience points.
Some of the temporary items earned by "quarry" have been changed.

[Basic Rules]

image Brenner is a competition played by two teams of 1 to 72 players each. The goal of Brenner is to light all of your side's Flammen-Brenner (flame burners) and then protect the Flamme (flames) for a set amount of time.

At the start of a match, only half of each side's Flammen-Brenner will be lit. You must seize the Flamme from the opposing side to light all of your team’s Flammen-Brenner. However, each Flammen-Brenner has an HP value, and will only expose its Flamme after taking a certain amount of damage. Your goal is to protect your side's Flammen-Brenner while attempting to seize your opponent's Flamme.

image You can speak to the NPC "Afdeen" in Upper Jeuno for an explanation of Brenner at any time.

[How to Participate]

Brenner is played in the area "Abdhaljs Isle-Purgonorgo." You can apply for an official match, reserve the Isle, or travel to the Isle by speaking to the NPC "Afdeen" in Upper Jeuno. You can speak to a Herald at the Isle to manage entries or set match rules.
You do not need a license to participate in Brenner or to make a reservation, and there are no rank or nationality requirements.

*Players who have not installed the Chains of Promathia expansion disc, or who have not registered the expansion content, will be unable to enter Abdhaljs Isle-Purgonorgo.

[Types of Matches]

There are two types of Brenner matches: official and private.
Official matches are held periodically according to schedule, while private matches are held by reservation. Private matches are further divided into regular matches and LS Liga (matches that pit linkshell groups against each other). Reservations for a private match can be made for any free time block up to two days (Earth time) before the match.

[Official Matches]

To participate in an official match, you must first speak to the NPC "Afdeen" in Upper Jeuno and travel to Abdhaljs Isle-Purgonorgo. No item or fee is required. However, you will not be allowed on the Isle if your job level does not meet the minimum requirement (level 75 in the case of "no restriction").

To enter, you must speak to a Herald after reaching the Isle and pay the participation fee. A participation fee will be collected for every match, so if you wish to participate in all three matches in an official session, you must pay a total of three fees.

Participation fee per match:
Level 30: 300 gil
Level 40: 400 gil
Level 50: 500 gil
Level 60: 600 gil
No restriction: 750 gil

The participation fee will be refunded if you cancel your entry before the match begins and speak to a Herald.

Official matches are held every week (Earth time) according to the following schedule. You can view a more detailed schedule by speaking to the NPC "Afdeen."

After an official match is over, participants can receive experience points. However, if a player changes areas or contributes very little during the match, he or she may not receive any experience points.

[Private Matches]

Conventional Match Proceedings
Private match reservations can be made for any unreserved block up to two Earth days in advance. Same-day reservations can also be made, as long as the Isle is not occupied or reserved by another group.
All Brenner reservation procedures are managed by the NPC "Afdeen" in Upper Jeuno. If you make a reservation in advance, you will receive a "Brenner Bluebook." If you make a same-day reservation, you will receive a "Brenner Blackbook." The Brenner Bluebook and Brenner Blackbook cost 500 gil each.
Using the Brenner Bluebook or Brenner Blackbook as an item will allow you to obtain a "Bluebook page" or a "Blackbook page." In turn, using a page will create more pages. Trade the pages to prospective participants so that they can also travel to the Isle.
When the reservation comment is set to "Recruiting Members," prospective participants can receive a Bluebook page simply by speaking to Afdeen.
Private match participants can travel to the Isle by trading a Brenner Bluebook, Brenner Blackbook, Bluebook page, or Blackbook page to Afdeen.
A fee corresponding to the session's level restriction will be incurred at the time of transportation.

Transportation Fees (collected once per session):
Level 10: 100 gil
Level 20: 200 gil
Level 30: 300 gil
Level 40: 400 gil
Level 50: 500 gil
Level 60: 600 gil
No restriction: 750 gil

After reaching the Isle, players can enter the match by trading a rulebook or page to the Herald. A participation fee is not required when entering a private match. Also, the player who trades a Brenner Bluebook or Brenner Blackbook to the Herald will become the MC (Master of Ceremonies) and can change match rules.

LS Liga
LS Liga is a type of Brenner competition played among linkshell members. Players can apply for participation in an LS Liga match by speaking to the Marshal standing next to Afdeen in Upper Jeuno. A fee of 3,000 gil will be collected from each participating linkshell's leader upon application.

You can find more detailed information about LS Liga by speaking to the Marshal in Upper Jeuno.
