A guild is a social feature that allows players to form an organization under a name. Each guild has its guild members, a dedicated guild channel, and the Guild Palace, a special location containing various merchants and guild exclusive features.[1]
Forming a guild
To form a guild, the player must possess the following:
- The leader must be level 10.
- The leader needs a founding fee of 10 gold.
- The guild name should not exceed 16 character limits.
Guild EXP and Guild Tokens
Guild EXP is an experience value required to increase the level of a guild. Guild Tokens are a form of currency that is contributed to the guild's resources, which allows the hiring of merchants in the Guild Palace, as well as the purchasing of their goods. For each Guild Token acquired by a guild member, the same amount in Guild EXP is also contributed to the guild.
Guild EXP and Guild Tokens are obtained through the activities of individual members, such as completing Astral Adventures. Certain daily quests are another method of obtaining guild rewards, and are given by Bounty Agents standing in front of dungeon entrances
