[GUIDE] Warlords a massive guide for beginners and experienced players (2024)

You can get into the Warlords lobby in three different ways:
1. you can type /lobby Warlords in the chat to get into the lobby or the short version: /l Wl
2. via the compass: go to a main lobby (/lobby, /l) and go to the compass in your inventory now the game menu opens with all games of Hypixel.
Warlords have an enchanted stone axe as icon if you found the axe click on it, and you are in the Warlords lobby.
3. about the NPC: you go again into a main lobby and go to the NPC's quite far right in the back stands a blue dressed NPC, click on him, and you are again in the Warlords lobby.

The lobby of Warlords contains many important components that are very important for the actual game. It's not just a lobby like in Bedwars where there are only the NPC's and the familiar stuff, no, this is where it gets interesting or confusing for new players.

When you enter the lobby and go to the front, you see the three Warlords game NPC's left Capture the Flag, middle Domination, right: Team Deathmatch to the individual game modes I explain later in more detail.
If you look behind the game NPC's, you will see a very significant aspect of Warlords, the classes.
There at these four statues you can familiarize yourself with the classes and look at their abilities, which I will explain all.
If you now look to the right or left, you will see the weapon smith (Will also be explained).
When you go from the place where you spawn in the Warlords lobby to the right and turn 180°, you should see an entrance to the "Hall of Weapons".
If you go in there, you can see all the weapons (and the few armors) and can admire them with all the custom textures.
If you go from the spawn to the left, you can still look at the leaderboards, but these are not so important.
The first part is just done, process all this information first and when you understand all these aspects you can come back and read more, otherwise it will be really too complicated.

The coin system is similar to the coin systems of the other Hypixel games, but it is a very important factor for the game, unlike for example BedwarsView attachment 2870372 where you can "only" buy cosmetic items with your coins.
I know that in other games like TNT Games you can spend your coins for game improvements, but this is no comparison to the Wl coin system.
Coins are mainly used to improve your class.
You can choose one of the four classes (Mage, Shaman, Warrior, Paladin) and the maximum improvement level is 90.
So if you have improved your mage class to level 20, all three subclasses or specializations are at level 20, you only have to improve the main classes and not each specialization.
Earning coins is actually quite simple, you have to play the game.
Later it becomes more and more tedious to level up your class, but that is normal.
Quests, be it daily or weekly, give a massive amount of coins.
Another and probably the most efficient way would be to buy network boosters for Wl and then earn a massive amount of coins through your network boosters.

In this section, everyday playing tips, but also special scenarios, so to speak, are acted out to make it easier to understand how one should act in a situation.
First some general tips.

If anyone is wondering why the weapon system and weaponsmith comes after the classes and game modes is the following reason, you own broken weapons only after you have played a few rounds. Therefore, do not be surprised that this lobby stuff comes only here.

Classes, subclasses 3 of each class, 3 game modes, if this is still not enough and you still feel bored no problem now comes the weaponsmith and on top of that the weapon system which is also a bit difficult to understand.View attachment 2870363
First of all it is important to say that there are two currencies, Magic Dust and Void Shards.
When you have played a few rounds you will get "broken weapons" and "enchanted broken weapons" (with enchanted broken weapons the chance of getting a Legendary or Epic weapon is higher) these weapons can be repaired (to do this go to the Weaponsmith and click on the upper right field). If you have a rank you can repair all weapons automatically (only if you have more than 10 broken weapons, otherwise you just have to click on the weapons and they will be repaired repairs cost nothing and are free).
When you have repaired your weapons go back to the main menu of the weaponsmith now click on the upper right field to scrap your just repaired weapons, (Wow how logical...) to
squeeze the materials out of the weapons which in this case can only be Magic Dust or Void Shards. Of course you want a weapon suitable for your class, there are no simple weapons, there are customized weapons at the end of a weapon name stands (weapon name is built as follows: %adjective% %weapon name% of the %specialization%) always for which class this weapon is suitable.
As a start I would say a rare weapon that fits to your specialization is enough.
This means that if you have selected Aquamancer as your specialization, you want a weapon that ends with Aquamancer. If the class and the weapon ending match you get an extra buff that always affects your main ability for example for Aquamancer: You do 9% more damage with your Water Bolts. Later you can also craft weapons, but since you don't have many materials yet, this method is only worthwhile later.
However, for later I will explain you how to craft weapons.
To craft weapons, go to the main menu of the Weaponsmith and click on the item in the top center.
Now another menu appears, with the items in the top row you can make weapons, far left rare weapons in the middle epic and far right legendary.
(Watch out! When you craft weapons, you automatically craft a weapon for the specialization you are using, so make sure you have selected the specialization you want the weapon for).
At the bottom right of the bookshelf you can buy your Legendary Weapons "Skill Boosts" this function is only available for Legendary Weapons and costs Void Shards.
On the item in the middle below you can permanently strengthen your Epic Weapons for this you have to spend Mystery Dust and some of your Weapons Stats will be improved you can do this twice for one Weapon.
On the enchantment table you can upgrade your Legendary Weapons just like with the Epic Weapons but now you have to spend Void Shards instead of Mystery Dust.
(Please be careful! You have to select the weapon you want to upgrade or it will not be upgraded!)
When you are back in the main menu of the weaponsmith you can have a look at the lower right field where you can still roll your weapon stats if you are lucky.
Sometimes you are lucky and the damage increases and "only" your energy is reduced.
You have to imagine that stats of your weapon will be worsened but at the same time some will be improved if you are very unlucky more stats will be worsened and vice versa.
The weapon stats roll costs depending on the rarity of the weapon either Magic Dust or Void Shards or you roll your stats with coins which is not really recommended because you save your coins especially on class improvements.
In general I would say it is not really worth it to roll at the beginning, if you want to do it you can do it you just have to be lucky. But this is rather recommendable if you have legendary weapons when there is no other way to improve your weapon.
When you are back in the main menu of the weaponsmith click on
the second item in the bottom row. In this menu you can select your weapons if you have more than one.
By right clicking on a weapon you can bind your weapon.
This means that if you have, for example, two specializations and two weapons, you don't want to change your weapon every time you change your specialization. So you select a specialization and the matching weapon and right-click the matching weapon. Every time you select this specialization the weapon you have bound is automatically selected, this is especially useful when you play multiple weapons or specializations.
(Again, make sure you have selected the correct class and are using the correct weapon).

To play, you need the Hypixel Warlords Resource Pack. You can also play without it which is not recommended. It will download automatically when you enter the Warlords lobby, depending on your server settings. Make sure these are set to "Enabled". If you have problems, type /resourcehelp in the game. To get the resource pack again, type /resource. It is also recommended to install Optifine to reduce lag, increase FPS (frames per second) and improve resource compatibility. If you have problems, join another wl lobby or restart your game.
If nothing helps, you can also download the recource package here on my official website and move it to the recource package folder. If you have difficulties with recource packets and %appdata% and so on watch a video about recource packets.
