There are several ways to get your PVP fix:Talk to Greust and select “Join PVP”, or press b to bring up the PvP queues tab. Only level 28’s can join the queues named “Low Level”, so this is a good way to have an “official” LLD match.From here you can join 1v1, 6v6, and Capture the Flag games.Most matches are best-of-7 format on randomly selected PVP arenas (see section 7).To see your character's lifetime match record, use the /pvp command in chat.You can right-click on any player in town, or right-click on someone in your friends list or chat log, and select “challenge to duel”. If they accept, you will be put into a 1v1 match against them.Each duel is best-of-7 format on randomly selected PVP arenas (see section 7).To see your character's lifetime match record, use the /pvp command in chat.A free-for-all (FFA) PVP arena. Just join and kill anything that moves! When you die, you respawn so the carnage can continue.The Sarn Arena is located to the far north of the Sarn Encampment, up the big flight of stairs.As an LLDer, you will only have access to the Normal difficulty Sarn Arena. Technically you can join the Normal difficulty arena with a character up to level 40, but generally you will find level 28 LLDers in here.This is also a good (safe!) place to test out specific skills or builds. Official PvP Tournament Season 1 started on December 20, 2014. Tournament seasons consist of both LLD and HLD matches in a variety of formats. See GGG's official post about how tournament seasons work Various other groups have also started organizing LLD tournaments that anyone is free to join. These all use one of the methods above to play matches.Check out the official PVP forums and poearena.com for tournament news.Once you talk to Leo in the act 3 town, he will provide you with a daily PvP-related mission. He will also unlock the ability to make new Level 28 PvP characters instantly (without having to level them up from scratch) - you can do this from the character creation screen by clicking the "PvP Only" checkbox. You can't enter the Sarn Arena using one of these characters (this is something that GGG should fix eventually), but you can join any of the PvP queues or events (even FFA events) with them.So far these have been held as completely separate, short-duration leagues that have nothing to do with “normal” PVP.
