Covered in this Guide will be
1.The basic how to set up a guild and requirements
2.The guild rewards and advancements
3.Guild Events (suggestions area)

5.Q&A area








To form a guild you will need to meet the following requirements.

1. Be the leader of a full party of six
2. No party member may already belong to a guild.
3. Be able to pay the guild creation cost of 50 silver.
4. The party members may not change during guild formation process (only takes a few seconds)
5. If you meet all the above requirements travel to your capital city . For Destruction it is the Inevitable City. And talk to the NPC named Astrid Ragnein. For Order the NPC name is Altdorf Located in the War Quarter. Here is screen shot of the Destruction Npc http://www.warhammeralliance.com/for...pictureid=3443

There are 3 types of XP in the game.

-First is usual xp gained from quest and killing monsters and killing players (yes you get xp from PvP)
-2nd is Influence xp is gained from doing public quest
-3rd is renown xp is from PvP and RvR quests

The guild has a XP bar. To get xp for the guild do RvR (gaining renown xp) 100% xp gained from this is applied to the guild.

To advance to Rank 2 guild you will need 50000 guild xp
To advance to Rank 3 guild you will need 150000 guild xp

I am sorry I can not tell you how much xp it takes to reach other levels because I do not know.

Events Ideas
I have expanded this section to create a guild events Ideas section. These are all just ideas to expand your in game experience. Any other ideas are welcome and wanted.

• Public Quest and RvR : pick a day and just try to focus everyone to do these type of events together.

• Crafters Day you can either set up a event for everyone to gather crafting materials for guild crafters or perhaps get everyone to donate one all crafting materials on a certain day.

• Chicken RUN made famous by the order guild Vendetta.

• Lottery since you can tithe/tax guild members you could set up yearly or quarterly lotterys. This can also be done with Items.

• Siege Day since this game is about war it wouldent be bad idea to have a planned day for this. Time to prepare.

Warhammer Online Guild Updates and further information

Taking a keep and its advantages

Here is section from warhammer online web site to explain taking a Keep and its benefits.

Your guild is granted a tactic point which can be used to purchase tactics for its Standards.
In WAR, guilds play an integral part in claiming keeps for their side. Not only can you fight together with your banner held high, but those banners can be used to benefit everyone in the area in keep defense once you’ve claimed the keep as your own. Not only that, but your guild will gain certain benefits and advantages just for owning a keep.

Imagine your colors flying high for the masses to see. Stir passion in your allies and instill fear into the hearts of your enemies as they come to recognize your colors! To claim a Keep, a Standard Bearer must plant their guild’s standard into a specific slot on the roof of the Keep. Upon doing so, the guild banner tactics will be applied to the specified area in RvR. For Example: “This Guild Rocks” has 2 tactics applied to their Bronze Banner: +5% coin & +5% loot drops. When they claim a Keep with that Banner, everyone from their Realm within the specified range of the banner will get 5% more coin and loot drops.

Once a Standard Bearer plants his Standard to claim a Keep, that Standard Bearer gives up his rights to carry a Standard again until the guild loses control of the keep. The benefits your guild will enjoy while having a keep under their control include: Guilds will earn experience over time while holding the Keep Guilds will be notified via chat window warnings if their claimed Keep is under assault. If a Guild Disbands, then ownership of the Keep is abandoned and all guards and banners will be switched to non-guild specific. If a Keep that is claimed by a guild is captured, then the Standard associated with the Keep is considered captured.

Q+A Section


1.Do you get to wear the Guild cloak at rank 9 or is it Rank 21?
A: we were able to too at 9

2.Can a rank 6 Guild capture a Keep with its Standard bearers and/or Guild Leader. Or do they need to be rank 11 ?
A:not until 11

3.Are the above typos or placed in the wrong rank ?
A:

4.Can a Guild leader carry and use a Standard ?
A:Yes GL can do all a standard bearer can do

5. A question arises. Guilds with more members are advantageous in gaining ranks, because it doesn't look to the average of player accumulated results, but rather looks to the cumulative contribution from all members. Am I correct? So that would mean zerg guilds will gain guild ranks much quicker?
A: Guilds with more members will level quicker than less members, but it is based on numbers online.
10 person guild - 100 person guild - 200 person guild
5/10 online will earn less than 10/10 online
10/10 online will earn more than 10/100 online
50/100 will earn more than 50/200

6. Can you have more than one guild Leader? For instance in DAoC, you could have multiple Rank 0 GMs.
A: no, not at this time

7. How to gain Guild trophies . Not sure what you have to do though maybe kill cretain bosses ?
A:Mentioned Future benefits of capturing Standards (subject to change of course)
Guild rewards are supposed to be based on capturing enemy Standards
Players are supposed to get renown for capturing a enemy Standard
Your supposed to be able to unlock special Tome entries and rewards for capturing Standards
Your supposed to be able to gain 'Banner Scraps' from capturing Standards which you can use to aquire special items
Trophies to display the guild's exploits and standard captures

8. If the guild dropped below the minimum number of people needed to form it in the first place the guild was automatically disbanded. Does anyone know if this is the case with War?
A:No you can have one person in the guild. that being the guild leader.

9. What if the guild leader goes inactive is there any way to remove or replace them?
A:


Special thanks to funus for answering the above questions

[Stigus]

great guide red

and yes the transit to the viper is a typo by mythic

we got access to the guild scroll recall to viper room ability at guild level 5

[PhroX]

The standard names sound rather...evil. Are they Destruction side names with Order getting "nicer" sounding ones?

[Redwolfy]

Thanks Stigus
for the update on viper room

I think i saw a Order Standard Bearer title "OW MY EYE" lol just kidding.
I would imagine the order names would be a tad differant. Instead of Corruptors maybe law giver?

[Arrandor]

Order are just as evil as destruction, just a different type of evil, so they may well share the same names.

Very useful writeup, thanks!

not a problem, willing to support any good work in WHA in anyway I can.

We will be rolling order in open beta, so I will keep you updated as to the difference in standard names.

also, if there is any other info you might need please feel free to PM me here.

[Ashenmist]

I seem to remember in another game, might have been EverQuest but not sure as the old memory isn't what it used to be , that if the guild dropped below the minimum number of people needed to form it in the first place the guild was automatically disbanded. Does anyone know if this is the case with War?

Just wanted to check in advance so I can advise guild members to be careful when forming and not to accidentally quit until we have enough of a buffer of members, otherwise it could get expensive.

[Stigus]

lol never tried it yet, might be something i might try near the end of open beta when i have enough money to burn

[Sickletooth]

Can we get some more info on that viper's pit? Is it like an instanced thing only for your guild/you and the guilds you're alligned with? Is the special leader's room available to just the leader of the guild or are officers allowed in as well?

[Traddok]

news flash..... Order is not any "more good" than destruction.... thus the standards sounding "evil" is a non issue...

[Outro123]

so who/where is the guild registrar on the order side?
