Guilds & WarsFound a guild, raise its renown, and clash in the Skyfront Ring.
A guild is a durable, shared home for players; with ranks, a treasury, a leveling track, its own logo and chat. Once it’s strong enough it can declare wars and enter the world-wide Weekly Siege. Everything here is server-owned, so nothing can be faked or duped.
Founding & joining
- Found a guild
- Requires character Level 15 and a 50,000 Glint fee. The founder becomes the Skywarden (leader). Name: 3–20 characters, unique.
- Join
- An officer invites you by name; accept within 60 seconds. You can join at any level and enter as a Recruit.
Ranks
| Rank | Powers |
|---|---|
| Skywarden (leader) | Everything: promote/demote, withdraw funds, set the logo, hand off leadership, disband |
| Marshal (officer) | Invite & kick lower ranks, set the message of the day |
| Knight · Steward · Recruit | Members; contribute tribute, use guild chat |
Treasury vs tribute: two very different pools
Treasury (funds)
A shared, refundable Glint pool. Any member can deposit (min 100); only the Skywarden can withdraw. It’s a bank: it does not level the guild.
Tribute (renown)
Glint spent here is consumed permanently to raise the guild’s level and Renown. This is the only thing that levels a guild, so you can’t farm levels by cycling treasury money.
Leveling costs 25,000 × current level Glint in tribute per level (25k, then 75k, 150k, 250k…), capped at guild level 50. Renown is earned from tribute and from war/siege results. The member cap grows with level: 30 at level 1, +1 per level, up to 80 at max.
Guild logo Lv 5+
Once your guild reaches level 5, the Skywarden can upload one small square PNG logo. It then appears everywhere the guild is shown; the guild window, player nameplates, the war HUD, the siege board. Below level 5 a guild has no mark at all. This is the guild’s only emblem.
Guild wars: the Skyfront Ring
PvP damage between players exists only in the Arena and in a live war. A war is a formal, wagered team fight run entirely by the server.
Declare
Both guilds must be guild level 5+. Only the Skywarden declares, at Registrar Odo in the War Hall. A wager (≥ 10,000 Glint) is escrowed from each side, plus a 1,000 Glint filing fee that’s never returned. The defender’s Skywarden must be online; the challenge expires in 120 seconds.
Muster
On accept, each side gets 90 seconds to pick a squad of up to 10 fighters (10v10) and ready up.
Fight
On the Skyfront Ring: 10 minutes, 3 lives each, 5-second respawns. Kills score 2 points (+1 if the killer is the Skywarden, +1 if on their last life). At time, each standing fighter’s remaining lives add a point.
Payout
The winner takes the whole pot (both wagers) plus +25 renown and a share of the wager. The loser gets +5 renown; a draw returns wagers and gives both +10 renown.
The Weekly Siege
A world-wide guild tournament on a fixed schedule; every Saturday, 21:00 (UTC+8); fought on the Skyfront Ring. It’s run by Herald Castellan at the War Hall.
Bid
During the week, each guild’s Skywarden (guild level 5+) bids Glint (min 20,000) at the Herald. Bidding locks 5 minutes before the slot; a new bid must raise the last.
Seed
At lock, the top 8 bidders seed into a single-elimination bracket; everyone who misses the cut is refunded. The seed stakes form the prize pot.
Fight the bracket
Standard rounds, Quarterfinal → Semifinal → Final, reusing the same muster/scoring engine as a normal war.
Crown
The champion takes the entire pot, plus Valor Marks and renown by placement.
| Placement | Valor | Renown |
|---|---|---|
| Champion | 100 | 60 |
| Finalist | 50 | 30 |
| Semifinal | 25 | 15 |
| Quarterfinal | 10 | 8 |
| Entrant | 5 | 3 |
Valor Marks accrue on the guild and are shown on the guild window and siege board. (A Valor spending vendor is planned; for now Valor is a badge of achievement that banks up.)
