Guilds

A guild is the game's long-term community: a bigger and more permanent group than a party. Members see who is online and talk in their own guild chat channel, but a guild does not split EXP the way a party does. For most players the main reason to join one is the castle siege, the War of Emperium, and the guild skills that support it.

Carry an Emperium on the character who will lead, then type the create command with the guild name. That character becomes the Guild Master. The Emperium is gone for good, even if the guild is later broken up, and the name cannot be changed afterwards (Gravity may only rename or disband a guild whose name breaks the rules). To hand over leadership, right-click a member in the members tab and choose to entrust the guild master role.

The guild window has these tabs:

• Guild Info: member count, who is online, the leader, the guild level and the list of alliances (the master removes an ally by right-clicking it).
• Members: everyone sorted by title, with the EXP each one has paid in tax; the master edits titles here.
• Position: the 20 titles and the rights tied to them (invite, kick, use guild storage).
• Guild Skill: spend skill points and cast the active skills.
• Expel History and Guild Notice: recently kicked members, and a two-line notice shown when members log in or change maps.

The Guild Master sets up to 20 titles. Each title has its own name shown after the character's name, its own tax rate, and its own rights, so the master can let trusted members invite, kick or open guild storage. Tax only takes Base EXP, never Job EXP, and can go up to 50%. Members with kick rights can remove anyone; everyone else can only leave by themselves.

A new guild holds 16 members including the master. The Guild Extension skill raises this to 56 on iRO. With only 20 titles, big guilds usually put many members under the same general title.

Guilds level up like characters, but their EXP comes only from the Base EXP that members pay as tax. Every new guild level gives one skill point for the guild skills. The table below is shortened; the full chart goes up to level 50.

Guild skills work both inside and outside sieges. Only the Guild Master can use the active and supportive ones. The main skills:

Icon	Skill	Type	Effect
	Official Guild Approval	Passive	Lets the guild take part in War of Emperium, War of Emperium 2 and the Training Edition.
	Guild Extension (10 levels)	Passive	Up to 40 more members, 56 in total.
	Guild Storage Extension	Passive	Opens the guild storage to the master and to members with permission.
	Guild Leadership / Glorious Wounds / Cold Heart / Sharp Gaze	Passive	Members in a 5x5 area around the master get +1 per skill level to STR, VIT, AGI or DEX respectively.
	Battle Command	Supportive	Members and allies on the master's screen get +5 STR, DEX and INT for 180 seconds.
	Regeneration	Supportive	Faster HP and SP recovery for members on the master's screen.
	Restoration	Supportive	Refills HP and SP to 90% for members on the master's screen.
	Urgent Call	Active	Teleports every guild member to the master.
	Contract with Kafra / Guardian Research / Strengthen Guardians	Passive	Castle skills: hire a Kafra (teleport and storage) and guardians for an owned castle, and make those guardians stronger and faster (not in WoE 2).
