Endurance Match-

The player desiring to enter an endurance match posts "(Character Name) Begins an Endurance Match" as a thread title in the Battle Threads and Random Quests area. A mod then randomly chooses 3 level 1 monsters, which the character then fights. The rewards listed below are appropriated at the submatch's end. Assuming the character wins the submatch, then the mod randomly chooses 3 level 2 monsters for the character to fight. This process continues, with the monster level going up by 1 each submatch or until the player dies. If the max monster level is reached and defeated by a player, contact Gad.

All those who participate in endurance matches get the "Has Reached Round X in an Endurance Match" title.
