Why join a guild
Guilds give every member passive stat bonuses from upgraded guild buildings, access to the guild skill tree (5 paths), and entry to Guild Wars. Even a small guild of 5 active players is better than going solo.
Guild buildings
Six active guild buildings, each contributing to member stats as they level: War Academy (+1% ATK per level, max 50%), Iron Fortress (+1% DEF & HP per level), Golden Vault (+1% Gold Find), Arcane Library (+1% XP), Swift Stables (-1% Rift portal time), Trophy Hall (+1 max member slot per level).
Guild Skill Tree
Separate from the personal skill tree. Five paths — War, Fortitude, Fortune, Swiftness, Unity — each with six tiers. Members contribute to unlock collective bonuses.
Guild contributions
Members donate gold and resources to fund building upgrades and skill tree nodes. Active guilds compound faster; inactive guilds stall.

War Academy
rareDrills at dawn, every day, whether or not there is a war on. The instructors take the view that there is always a war on, and so far the instructors have been right.
Iron Fortress
rareBuilt by people who had already lost one hall and had opinions about why. Every wall is thicker than it needs to be, deliberately.
Golden Vault
rareNobody has ever robbed it. Three people have tried to audit it and the guild found that considerably more upsetting.
Arcane Library
rareOpen to every member, at any hour, on the condition that you put the book back where you found it. Two members are banned.
Swift Stables
rareThe horses are fine. The horses are, frankly, better than most of the guild. The stablemaster has said so out loud and kept her job.
Trophy Hall
rareEvery shelf is somebody’s worst day, mounted and labelled. New members are walked through it on their first afternoon, which is the entire point of the room.
Master Smithy
rareHe does not make anything. He looks at what the guild dragged home, finds the half-inch nobody else saw, and sends it back out worth more. Six members have asked him to forge them a sword; he has said no six times.
Raw Ruby
uncommonCut wrong on purpose. The flaw is what makes it bite.
