Guilds
In MMOs guilds are defined as social groups of likeminded players who strive for the same goals in their game of choice. They are gatherings of individuals from all walks of life and are a label under which players oftentimes forge powerful and profound friendships.
It is no different in FlyFF, and guilds play an integral part of the game. All MMORPGs are based on their communities, and guilds are the most permanent way for players to band together. Through guilds, players can chat with each other, quest clockworks, war with other guilds, siege, and raid.
Every Guild is a family, a team, a governing body. There is the Master/Leader, the Kingpins, the Captains, the Supporters,
and the Rookies. They all guard each other and work together to create relationships and as a small active community; they play together, level, shop, PvP, and especially Clock War together. Each Guild is almost like a tribe, they compete against other Guilds and strive to be the best Guild in their Cluster.
Many Guilds do not make a community solely on playing the game competitively; many are based on similar interests or the hunger for a community of friends to have fun with.
Each Guild has the chance to pick cloaks, an emblem, and can participate on Guild Events. However, in order to participate in any of these you must first level your Guild to the requirements each entail.
Making a Guild
Before you create a Guild you must be the required level 40, and must take time to think of a Guild name.
First, gather what you need:
-
3 million penya
-
Lead of a party with 2 other players that are eligible to enter a guild (they will be your first members)
Second, speak to Helena (SaintMorning, Bank NPC).
-
She will ask for the 3 million penya first.
-
After handing in the 3 million penya, she will ask you to lead a 3 player party.
-
After speaking to her again, click on "Create a Guild", and your guild will be created.
Note that for any future guilds you make, you will not have to undergo this quest. You can create a guild directly by being the leader of a 3-player party where everyone is eligible to join a guild, and talking to Helena.
Managing a Guild
After creating your guild, you will want to learn to manage it. The options are all found on the guild window, which you can access via the "g" hotkey or by going through your Start menu.
Guild Warehouse
The Guild Warehouse is available at all Bank NPCs on Server 1. Just select the Guild Warehouse option when you click on the NPC. There you are able to donate quest drops and penya to the guild, as well as place and remove penya and items in the warehouse.
The Information tab is where you can make your major guild changes.
-
Name button - change the name of your guild (only viable once)
-
Notice button - change your notice whenever you want (note that there is a very low character limit to the notice)
-
Logo button - choose a logo for your guild once it reaches level 4
-
Dismiss button - disband the guild.
The Member tab is where you can manage the ranking of your members, as well other features. As leader, once you right
click on a member's name, various options are available. While members with the right permissions (explained in the next tab) will be able to use some of these options on other members, some options are only available to the leader.
-
Promote Member/Demote Member - To change the ranking of a member between (in order of tier) Rookie, Supporter, Captain, and Kingpin. Members with ranking permissions can use this option on other members beneath their rank and class.
-
Class Up/Class Down - To differentiate ranking inside each rank, these options allows you to increase or decrease the number of icons beside their name (or their class) between 1 and 3. Members with ranking permissions can use this option on other members beneath their rank and class.
-
Create Nickname - At level 10 of the guild, the leader is able to give nicknames to specific members with this option. There is a strict character limit.
-
Leave Guild - A leader can kick members with this option, and this option is how members can leave the guild themselves.
The Title tab is where you can change the permissions of each rank as well as give a salary to people of certain rank. Method of change is pretty self-explanatory, check mark the box under the rank you want to give the permission to, next to the permission you want to give. De-check mark for permissions you want to remove.
-
Title - Allows the member group to change the classification of members under their rank.
-
Rank - Allows the member group to change the class of members under their rank.
-
Join - Allows the member group to invite unguilded members to the guild.
-
Penya - Allows the member group to remove penya from the guildwarehouse.
-
Items - Allows the member group to remove items from the guildwarehouse.
-
Pay - Use this button to set the salary of the member group. The salary is paid every 24 hours.
The Guild War tab is where you can declare war on other guilds, as well as proclaim peace and surrender. This tab is also where you are able to view your total losses and wins.
-
Guild War - Input the name of the guild you wish to declare war on after pressing this button.
-
Peace - Sends a request for a truce to the opposing guild's leader.
-
Give Up - Automatically ends the guild war with a loss of your side.
-
To store and/or remove items - Just drag and drop, like you would do in your bank. Note that everyone can store items in the warehouse, but only members with permission can remove items.
-
To store and/or remove penya - Click the support button, and enter in the amount of penya you wish to place in the warehouse in the Penya field of the popup window. Removal of penya is the same as that for your bank.
-
To donate quest items - Click the support button, then check mark "Trophy". Please note that this option automatically takes all of the quest items in your inventory, so if you have any that you don't want to donate, you might want to place them elsewhere first. Additionally, quest items are automatically taken by the system and you cannot remove them after you donate. The higher the level of the quest item, the higher the contribution amount.
-
Cloak - This button allows the guild leader to generate cloaks in the guild warehouse if a logo is chosen. (see above) Note that since guild cloaks cannot be traded, the member must be allowed access to remove items from the warehouse in order to retrieve their own cloak.
-
-- (the dash) - This button allows members of the winning guild to obtain the prize Dragon Cloak.
Other Guild Events
Guild Siege is a once-a-week opportunity to match the strength of your guild to that of other guilds. Not only are the rewards high for winning the siege, so is the honor. This match is held at 9pm EST [GMT -5] every Saturday. For further information, please refer to Guild Siege.
Guild Battle Royal is a GM run event where you can test your guild's PvM skill. Where 16 of your guild mates will be thrown into a land filled with monsters and giants of all sorts, and tested to the limit. But, all for the most prized possessions available to the FlyFF World.
