Guilds

Guilds are groups of players with a common cause that pool resources together to achieve goals. Members can be identified on the battlefield by their unique guild heraldry.

• Guilds have the right to compete for guild provinces after unlocking a province slot.
• Up to 3 guilds in the same nation can band together to form an alliance.
• Guild level determines membership capacity and what defenses are available at owned provinces.
• Guild Ranking (F2) shows the overall strength of all guilds on the server.

• Form a guild: Press G and type in a lore appropriate name.
• Join a guild: Visit the Guild Recruitment Board in the capital city and select a guild. You may also receive guild invitations directly from other players in your notifications.
• Leave a guild: Press G, select the members tab, and click the red door icon in the bottom left.

Heraldry

The leader or vice leader can design heraldry using the basic heraldic symbols available in game and an expanded selection of symbols in the Supporter Shop and the market. Heraldry is displayed on shields, siege equipment and at locations captured by the guild. Any non-basic heraldry symbols used must be on the Leader's account. If the leader leaves the guild or is replaced, the new leader will be prompted to purchase the symbol.

Recruitment

There are several ways to recruit players to a guild. Only those with Officer rank or above can recruit:

• The Recruitment Board: Press G and select the Recruitment tab, then fill out the form and press publish. This information will be displayed on all friendly Guild Recruitment Boards. You can visit the guild recruitment board to see how your guild is perceived on the board.
• Press G, select the Members tab, and select “Invite” and then type the player’s name
• Press E on a nearby player and select invite to guild.

Guilds on the recruitment board are listed by activity level, so keeping members active helps push it toward the top of the listing regardless of how many members it has.

Guild Level

Guild level determines membership capacity and what defensive structures are available at a guild province. Accumulate guild points from members to increase guild level.

Guild Level	Members	Defenses
1	80	Weak Wood
2	90	Wood
3	100	Strong Wood
4	110	Weak Stone
5	120	Stone
6	130	Strong Stone
7	150	Strong Stone

Guild Points

Guild points are essentially XP for guilds, gained solely through PvP activity. Players earn Nation Points for every PvP kill they participate in. Guild members donate their nation points to their guild at a Castle Keeper or their Nation Commander. Donated nation points become guild points which help to level the guild up.

Players can see their total accumulated guild points in the Members tab. Press F2 and select My Profile to see accumulated nation points.

Guild officers passively earn guild points daily as a perk of their rank if the guild owns a province.

Leaving or being removed from a guild will result in the permanent loss of all banked guild points. The guild does not keep them, and the player does not receive them back. This can result in a reduction of guild level.

Ranking

Guilds on each server participate in a competitive ranked leaderboard. Press F2 and select Guild Rankings to see the current season’s competition. Ranking is determined by guild points.

Number 1 rank from last season gets a gold icon.

Number 2 rank from last season gets a silver icon.

Number 3 rank from last season gets a bronze icon.

The top 10 from last season get a green icon.

Guild Bank

Guild members may deposit coins into the guild bank on the Information tab of the guild window. Only the leader and vice leader may remove coins. There is currently no shared item storage or guild depot. The guild bank automatically collects crafting fees for any crafting done at the guild province.

Alliances

Alliances can include up to 3 guilds. This opens up the /a alliance chat channel and options for special permissions at guild provinces.

Members can fast travel to allied guild provinces by clicking the province flag on the map if it is is properly linked to the capital.

When a guild joins the alliance, a 2 day teleporting cooldown to the alliance's guild provinces goes into effect. Be careful joining and leaving alliances because this teleport can be critical to responding to token attempts.
