Variants[edit]
Catapults[edit]
Regular catapults are built with Catapult Blueprints, which can be bought from a Siege Master for either 12 
or 12 
. They also come in a variety of containers. Once deployed, they require 40 
to build.
Superior Catapults[edit]
Superior catapults deal 50% more damage than regular catapults and require an additional 10 (50 total) to build. They are built with Superior Catapult Blueprints, which are made in the mystic forge, bought from various merchants, and found in various containers.
Guild Catapults[edit]
Guild catapults are functionally the same as superior catapults, but they also have a different skin that displays the emblem of the owner's guild. They require 40 supply to build. They can be built with Guild Catapult Blueprints, two of which may be purchased for 12 + 3 
from a Guild commendation trader. These may also be crafted through Scribing.
Flawed Guild Catapult Blueprints can be obtained as a very rare loot drop in World versus World or from Sigurlina Jonsdottir. They will convert into a normal Guild Catapult Blueprint upon use.
- Guild catapults have approximately 150,000 health.
Comparison[edit]
The speed with which a catapult destroys a target depends on the type of catapult, the distance to target, the type of target and the proficiency of the operator.
