Your Guild Just Got Better!

Your guild has become a lot more interactive with new features!

Guillermo the Guild Representative is in Battleon to help you get familiar with guilds. He’s got the answers to your basic questions regarding guilds, but in this post we’re going to dive a little deeper into the details. Guild Leaders can provide guild boosts, members can help get their guild to the top of the leaderboard, and more! Plus, you’ve got a week of double gold rewards to celebrate.

A Guide to Guilds

If you already know the basics, feel free to jump to the bottom where we have listed “Just the Features Please”.

Starting a Guild is Easy!

Open the game menu and click on the Guild button. If you are not already in a guild, you will see a short description of how to create a Guild Name and Guild Tag. Then you must pay 10,000 Gold to complete the guild creation. If your Guild Name and/or Tag has not been used already, your guild is complete and you are now a Guild Leader.

Grow Your Guild

Click on a player’s nameplate and choose “Send Guild Invite”. This sends them an immediate invitation to join your guild. If they choose Yes, they are added as proud members of your guild. Guild Invites can be turned off in the game Settings, so make sure the player has your consent before you invite them! Now, invite your friends to join your Guild and watch it grow!

Guild Menu

While you are part of a Guild, clicking the Guild Icon will take you to the Guild Menu. This shows you:

Guild Name
Guild Info (? button)
Guild Shop (Guild Leader only) - NEW
Guild Leaderboard button - NEW
Guild Level and XP progress in Level - NEW
List of Guild Members (icons denote rank; Guild Leader / Officer / Member)
Guild Tax % - NEW
Edit Guild Tax % button (Guild Leader only) - NEW

Guild Member List also displays each member's "last online", a highly requested feature. Options for interacting with individual members are also here, such as Whisper, Invite, Summon etc. Guild Leaders and Officers have additional permissions such as Demote, Promote or Kick. Just click on the members name to interact.

Guild Leaders can update the guild details from the Guild Info (?) button and update the MOTD (message of the day). Other members can click on the (?) button to see the MOTD as well as other details or to Leave the Guild.

Additional Details on Guild Taxes and Boosts

Guild Taxes apply to all members including the Guild Leader. The taxed gold is deducted automatically from all gold that your guild members receive while playing. This gold goes into the Guild Fund which the Guild Leader uses to purchase Guild Powers to give the whole guild a temporary boost. Guild Leaders purchase boosts from the Guild Shop (Toolbox icon) which appears for all of the Guild Members as an incon above their hotbar just like a regular boost/buff.

Just the Features Please!

Here’s a quick review of the features in a simplified format for those who already know the basics.

Pirate Siege 3v3 Improvements

The Siege can now begin even if no opponents join. The map will continue to be locked to new players joining after 30 seconds, but the siege can now be played solo. [Correction: the map will not be locked to new players joining the Siege and players can continue to join as the battle goes on.]
Siege Tokens are now Token items and Ship Supplies for the battle can now be simply purchased instead of requiring a Quest Turnin.

Siege Rewards:

Plundered Goods and Plundered Hoard are now updated to be Token Items.
Materials needed for crafting Siege Gear can now be purchased with these Tokens instead of crafted (Pirate Goods)
Drops of Plundered Goods increased 5x to match the old bulk crafting amounts.
Dye shop added to Crabby for easier access.
Tailoring Dyes are now simply purchased with Daily Boss Trophies
Daily Boss Trophies are now Tokens
