[Source: RF Online Boards]Chip Wars
One of RF Online's main points of attraction are its Chip Wars. Three times a day Accretians, Corites and Bellato muster their armies for domination over the central Crag Mine. These wars happen in eight-hour intervals and require a minimum of level 25 to participate in, as characters of any levels lower can't damage the main objective: the Chip Control Center of the enemy race.

Chip Control Center
Let me explain quickly: when a Chip War starts, a chip control center for every race spawns on the Crag Mine Field map and every player that's level 25+ temporarily receives the Chip War quest in his quest log. The idea is to bring one of the other race's chips to 0% HP while keeping your own safe from harm. Your race leader and members of the race council are able to see the health status of all three chips, so they'll likely be informing you about the chips' status. Once a race succeeds in destroying another Control Center, the Chip War is over and the winning race gains the right to mine inside the core under the protection of the Holystone Keeper. Here's an interesting detail: the person who manages to have the last strike on the chip becomes "chip bearer". If he/she succeeds in bringing the chip to the central mine within 10 minutes, the race will gain the maximum of 7 hours of protected mining and he/she will gain a 50% defense bonus and a nice green aura until the next chip war. If the chip bearer fails (and you can bet the other races will want to try to make him/her fail), the time you're allowed to mine is determined by the health of your own chip at the end of the war.

Holystone KeeperWhen this protected mining period ends, the Holystone Keeper will go berserk killing everyone trying to mine in the core. The HSK will stay hostile towards all races until the next Chip War when he disappears for the duration of the war. During the war the core is free for all. Many people ask in mapchat if the Holystone Keeper is friendly towards their race or not. This can be checked very easily when you log in: a system message will appear, informing you about the Keeper's status.
