Guilds

Summary

Guild Fealty and Guild Master Voting

• Guilds may set the minimum Guild Rank required for players to be able to declare fealty (i.e. set their vote for Guild Master)
• When a player changes their fealty to another player, it now displays a text message showing how many votes the current Guildmaster has (out of all votes total)
• Players who are below the Guild Rank required to declare fealty do not contribute votes total for determining Guildmaster
• Players who have not been online in the last 90 days do not contribute votes towards for determining Guild Master
• The player with the most votes (i.e players who have declared fealty to them) is the Guild Master for a guild
• In the case of a vote tie, the player with the highest guild rank is named Guild Master, and if all tied players are of the same rank, the player who has been in the guild the longest is named Guild Master

Guild Prestige

Guilds can earn Prestige by having it's members accomplish tasks, and for every 100 Prestige earned, a guild will increase its Guild Level by 1. There is no cap to a guild's maximum level. A Guild's Server Rank is how their guild's Total Prestige amount they have earned compares to other guilds on the server. Visit the Guild Prestige page for more detailed information.

Guild Favors

When a guild increases its level, it earns a randomized Guild Favor. These Guild Favors are temporary bonuses the guild can activate to provide a specific bonus to all members of the guild for a limited duration (these bonuses will stack with any Server Region Bonuses as well). Guilds can activate unused Guild Favors by clicking the "View Favors" button on the Guild Overview Page and then selecting a particular unused favor from the Guild Favor Page.

• Guilds may only have 3 Guild Favors activated at any given time
• Some Guild Favors will only apply to certain regions of the world, or against certain creature types
• Guild Favors come in three rarity levels: Common (3 Day Duration), Uncommon (2 Day Duration) and Rare (1 Day Duration)
• Guilds can view their currently activated Guild Favors from the Guild Overview page of the Guild Gump
• Additionally, players can also view any currently Activated Guild Favors on the Region Bonus Banner next to each Town Crier by clicking on the Guild Favor button of that window

Guild Favor Effects can be as follows:

• Increased Gold Loot for Region
• Increased Skill Gain for Region
• Increased Damage against Bosses (includes Mini-Bosses, Shrine Bosses, Bosses, and Event Bosses)
• Reduced Damage Taken from Bosses (includes Mini-Bosses, Shrine Bosses, Bosses, and Event Bosses)

If a creature is killed by members of two or more different guilds, each having active Guild Favor bonuses to either Gold Loot Amounts or Item Chances, the highest value bonus among the guilds involved will be used for determining the gold bonus / item chance bonus.
