Guild System Renewal


Guild Quests

A guild button has been added to the quest window, which displays the individual guild missions. Players who are already members of a guild will automatically accept these quests. The quests will be reset weekly. Running quests will be cancelling for players if they leave the guild. A mission always comprises of three consecutive quests.

Mission Reward: Players can select one of three items, the amount of which depends on the difficulty.

Epic Quest upon Guild Entry: This has been added. Players who are already members of a guild and who also meet the other requirements can visit the bulletin board to directly complete the quest.


New Guild Interface

The guild overview (G) has been made clearer and now only shows the connection status, the location and the chat channel. Detailed information on the guild and its members will be shown with a click on the guild information button.

The activities for each guild member will be noted, e.g. the levelling, peak times and guild rank. The newest news as well as the latest guild activities will be displayed at the top.
There is the option to set keyboard shortcuts for guild information: [System - Controls].


New Guild Guide

All info on the new guild interface is now also available in the Game Guide.


Guild Cooperative Quests

Guild members can fight dungeon and Ereda PvP quests together. These comprise of consecutive quests with the difficulties easy, normal and expert. The cooperative quests are reset weekly, independent of any current progress made.
Dungeon quest: random dungeon quest, either Henir's Time-Space, Giant Boss, Secret Dungeon or Dark Portal. For the Giant Boss to count, each guild needs to inflict at least 2% of the damage.

Ereda PvP Quest: random Ereda quest, either Ereda Island, Ereda Warrior or PvP.

Guild Headquarters

All members of a guild have access to the guild headquarters. A player who joins the guild will automatically start the game in the headquarters. If they leave the headquarters they will be teleported to wherever they logged out from.
Each village has a guild flag from which the headquarters can be entered. Additionally the headquarters has been added to the list of CoBo Express destinations.


Guild Bank

All guild members have access to the Guild Bank. The Guild Bank starts with 16 slots. It can then be expanded by using guild coins or the Guild Bank Expansion Permit (item shop). The amount of items that a member can withdraw from the bank depends on their guild rank. Every member can store as many items as they wish. Each deposit and withdrawal is noted in the Guild Bank protocol.
The Guild Bank window will also display the amount of Guild Coins currently available.


Guild NPC

The Guild Master can enable various guild service contracts via the Guild NPC's 'Service' menu. They will need to pay Guild Coins for this. Whilst a contract is active, the duration can be extended to up to 90 days. The services can be used by all guild members.
•    Small Guild Service Contract: Shop
•    Medium Guild Service Contract: Shop, Exchange, Crafting (like with Aranka)
The shop service is free for the first 7 days after the formation of a guild.

Event details:
1. The Second Guild PvP Season Opens!
The guild PvP can be started once a day, at weekends twice a day, at a specific time. The game times will be shown in the emblem. A guild PvP button has been added to the arena window.
All three members of a group will need to belong to the same guild and have a PvP rank of E or higher. The rules match those of a 3 vs 3 match. Guild PvP has no influence to rank, AP or the win count.
Three NPCs accompany each team. They do not count towards the kills for the enemy team and cannot be revived.
•    Red team: Q-PROTO_00, Balzac, Neva
•    Blue team: Ethan, Hecate, Penentio
'Robo Castle - Roof' is not contained within the map list for Guild PvP.

The guild rank will be recalculated after each contest. Guilds with a higher win ratio will receive a higher rank. If two guilds have the same win ratio then the one with the least deaths will attain the higher rank. If both of these values are the same, then the guild with the lowest playtime gets the higher rank. Win ratio and rank will be displayed on the game screen.
