The Grand Arena is seperated into nine official event spaces. These event areas are surrounded by the respected size of spectators and can handle fights between two combatants or between a combatant and any number of monsters. The Prize Money for all circles are directly funded by gambling, so prize money for each bout can vary wildly.
The Ninth Circle is the smallest where the youngest fighters test their mettle and attempt to start their life in the Grand Arena. Although death isn't common in the smaller circles, it still happens. Average Prize per victory: 5-10 Silver
Any time a fighter wants to attempt an Eighth Circle fight they can. The Eighth Circle fights are slightly smaller, usually combatants who have at least one success in the Ninth Circle or an increased number of weaker monsters compared to those in the Ninth Circle. Average Prize per Victory: 20-25 Silver
In order to fight in the Seventh Circle one must obtain a Seventh Circle Coin. These can be purchased by some for a small pittance of 30s. The Eighth Circle Ringmaster may also give these coins to impressive victories in the Eighth Circle. Barger is also known to give promising fighters these coins as well. The Seventh Circle is filled with moderately experienced fighters and the monster battles start getting tougher as well. Average Prize per victory: 50 silver - 1 gold.
Like the eighth those who have a Seventh Circle Coin can choose to fight in the Sixth Circle any time they want. The Sixth Circle bouts are no-holds barred fights where death is a more common outcome. Expected fights contain Fighters hoping to advance to higher circles or bouts with multiple stronger monsters. Average Prize per victory: 1-5 gold.
In order to fight in the Fifth Circle one must obtain a Fifth Circle Coin. These are harder to find but are possible to purchase for an estimated 30 gold if someone is willing. The Sixth Circle Ringmaster can give these coins to impressive victories in the Sixth Circle. Old Man Eldrim also has a few of these coins he can give to impressive fighters. The Fifth Circle fights have significantly harder combatants and monsters. This is the first circle that holds private viewing boxes for high-rollers and as such the prize money for victory is reflected in this. Average Prize per Victory 15-30 Gold.
Fighting in the Fifth Circle may get you noticed by The Victorious. These arena combatants have earned their place in the top three circles. Any member of The Victorious can invite you to participate in the Fourth Circle events. The fights in this circle are purposefully created to gate keep weaker arena combatants out of the top three circles. The only way to get a chance to fight in the top three circles is to maintain victory in the Fourth Circle. Average Prize per victory: 35-45 Gold
It requires three Third Circle Coins to get a chance to fight in the Third Circle. Like the other coins, the Fourth Circle Ringmaster can give one of these coins for an impressive victory, but any combatant can only gain one this way. You must collect other Third Circle Coins as a direct gift from a member of The Victorious. Anyone fighting in the Third or Second Circles can be invited to fight on Center Stage for the "Main Event" Third Circle combatants are usually known as the underdog if they are selected for a Main Event fight. Average Prize per victory: 100 Gold.
Second Circle combatants are those who have made it to the Third Circle and have maintained a Winning Record(More wins than losses) over more than 10 bouts. A Second Circle combatant can get demoted to the Third Circle if they lose their winning record. Any Second Circle combatant can be invited to fight on Center Stage for the "Main Event" Second Circle fighters are favored to win. Average Prize per Victory: 100-200 Gold
Center Stage! Center Stage only has one event per day. Most days this is a large scale battle reenacted by Fodders. Once a week the Main Event is the current Grand Champion versus any Second or Third Circle combatant they choose. The rest of the Main Events are highly anticipated match-ups between popular Second and Third Circle combatants. Rare Main Events showcase a fight with a Large or Humongous dangerous monster. Average Prize per Victory: 500 Gold
Celestial Circle is a hidden and unofficial arena built by Gods of Battle. Sometimes Arena Champions present and past are brought to this Arena by demonic or divine will. Grand Arena Champions often recount how they had a dream where they sparred with an Avatar of Tempus or Torm.
