Alpha-2 caravan being escorted to the Miraleth node.[1]

The Caravan System is a major aspect of the economy in Ashes of Creation. While the rewards can be great for moving massive amounts of Commodities and other materials across the world of Verra, players can choose to be Caravan attackers or defenders, making these hotspots for PvP battles.[2]

Caravan PvP in Alpha-2.[3]

Caravans are vehicles that facilitate the transfer of cargo across Verra.[4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]

Caravans are the induction of emergent gameplay, which means you cannot predict the situation you're going to be in when you use a caravan. That's part of the risk: The risk is the unknown. If you could predict it then your ability to mitigate that risk would unfortunately remove that dynamic- that ratio of risk versus reward.[13] – Steven Sharif
