Guilds
Guilds serve as a platform for players to unite and engage in cooperative events. They facilitate various activities, including coordinated raids and challenges.
- Guild Levels - Boosting the guild level through experience grants added benefits, like expanding member capacity. Further enhancements are planned for future releases. As the guild level increases, expect to unlock additional raids and increase the daily challenge limit.
- Guild Marks - Marks serve as currency earned through guild challenges. They enable access to diverse guild mechanics, including the ability to refresh challenges and raid participation. Currently, the sole method to acquire tokens is by completing challenges.
- Guild Member Limit - The guild member limit is dependent on the guilds total level. It ranges from 20 to 25. The breakdown can be viewed on the wiki page.
- Guild Membership Cooldown - A character can only join a guild once every 24 hours.
- Guild Icons - Guild icons can be purchased via the vendor. The icons are tied to the character itself and the guild icon will be reset when switching leaders.
- Guild Backgrounds - The guild’s background can be chosen from the characters set of backgrounds. The background will be reset when switching leaders.
- Guild Description - A place for guilds to describe the guild. This area supports a limited markdown syntax.
- Guild Ranks - In the guild hierarchy, there are three ranks—Soldier, Officer, and Leader—each with distinct permissions. The Leader holds the highest authority and there can only be one Leader at a time. Soldiers are regular guild members with no extra permissions. Officers have additional privileges, such as generating tasks and accepting player invitations.
The guild feature is continuously evolving. Future updates will introduce additional mechanics like Guild Halls and the ability to spawn their own World Bosses, enriching the gameplay experience even further.
Guild Raids
Guild members can engage in raids to gain experience and rewards, collaborative events that can be organised by the guild leader. Raids are prearranged by high ranking members, allowing guild members to join a lobby before the raid commences. Once the scheduled timer reaches 0, the raid begins automatically.
- The guild's experience gain hinges on the number of participants in the raid. More participants yields more experience points for the guild.
- Individual participants earn experience by successfully completing guild raids, receiving both Combat Experience and Guild Mastery Experience.
- Raids also distribute gold for participants who complete the raid.
- Raids are designed to scale in time, with higher-tier raids requiring more time to finish but offering greater rewards in terms of experience per participant and experience gained per second. Thus, while they demand more time, they yield richer rewards for both the guild and its members.
- Participants forfeit rewards if they leave a raid prematurely, resulting in reduced rewards for the guild as well.
- Raids can be scheduled at a set time to help with guild coordination.
Guild Challenges
Challenges serve as an efficient way for the guild to accumulate experience quickly. Members holding specific ranks within the guild have the authority to generate challenges, each lasting for a duration of 24 hours.
Challenges encourage members to work collectively towards shared objectives, such as acquiring specific items and subsequently contributing them to the challenge.
- Upon successful completion, the guild earns experience points.
- Participants are rewarded with an additional 2 experience points for every item contributed towards the challenge, irrespective of whether the challenge is completed or not.
- As the guild levels up, more challenges can be generated. If a challenge is deemed to be too difficult, higher ranking members of the guild can refresh a specific task.
Guild Mastery Level
Guild mastery is a persistent game level that remains with the character even if they leave a guild. It serves as a testament to a player’s dedication to supporting the guilds they join.
Although initially, there may not be significant benefits to increasing the guild mastery level at release, we have confirmed plans to expand its functionality. This includes enhancing the rewards obtained from performing raids, providing further incentives for players to increase their guild mastery level.
Shrine of the Old Gods
The Shrine of the Old Gods is a game mechanic where the community collaborates to achieve a common goal, earning game-wide boosts for everyone’s benefit.
- To donate to a shrine, characters must first be near one. Fortunately, shrines are located in almost every location (though not all), and they can be easily accessed by pressing the new “Nearby” button which is located next to the “Map” button.
- The shrine features multiple tiers, with each tier offering a boost to every character in the game.
- Once a tier is reached, the boosts becomes active and all progress goes towards the next tier.
- We’ve intentionally designed the system to allow tiers to activate gradually throughout the day, based on when the goal was reached, or all at once, providing a larger combined boost.
- The shrine resets every day at 12PM UTC.
