Warbands are still available through the following means:

1. Zana’s map device.
2. The Scout prophecy.
3. Delve nodes: Redblade Retreat, Mutewind Retreat, Brinerot Retreat, and Renegade Base.
4. Maps: Iceberg Map, Lighthouse Map, Shipyard Map and Acid Caverns Map

2. Warband Tiers

Warbands are separated into four tiers. The tier of a zone determines what kind of monsters can spawn. Tier 4 allows for the toughest warbands (the bosses) while tier 1 only spawns the weakest.

The current tier of the zone could be found with two methods:

• it would be shown with small dots next to circle of the map (2 pairs of 1 dot for tier 1, 2 pairs of 2 dots for tier 2 and so on).
• there was a message on the map modifiers such as (“Captured by the Brinerot”); see the faction section below for details

In addition to those restrictions, zone level will also affect the number of potential warbands can spawn from each tier. At lower levels you’ll only see 2 warbands, where as on 68+ zones up to 6 warbands can spawn in total. Chaos Renegades, the fourth Warband faction, are hostile to both other Warbands and to exiles. They can only spawn in tier 4 map areas.

The tier will be determined by the number of warband kills in a zone; every 10 minutes (60 minutes for maps) the zones with the most warband kills will have their warbands removed, while new warbands will appear elsewhere in world increasing the strength of warbands in adjecent zones. Warbands will follow the regular world layout, for maps they follow a layout similar to the map upgrade path (see the graph).

3. Warband Factions

Warbands are separated into four factions, each based on a damage type.

In the Warbands league, an enemy’s faction could generally be found using the following techniques:

• looking at the map; the map icons will have appropriately themed icons (i.e. lightning, fire, ice)
• the mod in the upper right corner

Depending on the tier, the message on the upper right corner would change:
