Guilds: founding, ranks and permissions
How to found a guild in Zarhold: free at any level, a name and one of 12 crests, five ranks and their rights, what only the leader can do, guild level up to 25.
A guild is a permanent group of players with its own chat, bank, log and message of the day. Founding one is free and possible at any level.
How to found a guild
- Open the guild window (the G key).
- Pick a name: 3–24 characters — letters, digits, spaces, hyphens and apostrophes, starting with a letter or a digit. The name must not be taken.
- Choose a crest — one of 12: Lion, Raven, Dragon, Wolf, Hammer, Crown, Skull, Tree, Kraken, Sun, Swords and Phoenix. The crest is free when you found the guild.
Whoever founds the guild becomes its leader.
How to join
- By invitation — you get a card with Accept and Decline buttons.
- By application. An open guild accepts you straight away; in a closed one the members allowed to invite review the application. Whether the guild is open or closed is up to the leader.
A newcomer joins at the lowest rank, Recruit.
Ranks and permissions
A new guild starts with five ranks:
| Rank | Default permissions |
|---|---|
| Guild Master | every permission, unlimited gold and items from the bank |
| Officer | invite, remove, promote and demote, edit the message of the day, take items from the bank (200 a day), the right to withdraw gold |
| Veteran | invite, take items from the bank (50 a day) |
| Fighter | — |
| Recruit | — |
You can only promote and demote members below your own rank. Any member can deposit gold and items in the bank. How much gold and how many items each rank may take is set by the leader: in a new guild everyone except the leader has a gold withdrawal limit of zero. Details in Guild bank.
Leader only
- pass leadership to another member;
- disband the guild — everything in the bank, gold and items, goes to the leader by mail that never expires;
- change the guild's name and crest;
- buy item bank tabs.
The leader can't simply leave: they must first pass on leadership or disband the guild.
Message of the day, log and level
- The message of the day for all members — up to 240 characters.
- The guild log: who joined, who left, who was promoted.
- Guild level goes from 1 to 25. Guild experience is 10% of the experience members earn, plus 50 for every PvP win by a member.
Every guild in the world and its roster is on the website under Guilds.
