This week’s Guild Highlights feature is Guild Advancement. In
Warhammer Online, a guild is not just a group of like-minded players; it’s an
entity in itself capable of gaining experience and moving up through the ranks
with the aid of its members. Guild Experience Points (GXP) are earned through
the actions and accomplishments of the guild’s members. Guild experience points
are the equivalent of character experience points. As specific thresholds of
prestige points have been accumulated, the guild advances to the next Guild Rank.
Here are a few examples of how your guild will earn experience within Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning:
- Standard Guild Experience is rewarded each time a guild member receives standard experience by accomplishing goals within the game including:
- Defeating opponents (both NPCs and in RvR)
- Acquiring Tome Unlocks
- Completing Public Quest
- Completing PvE quests
- Participating in RvR Scenarios
- Completing RvR Quests
- RvR Keep Ownership Guild Experience is rewarded to a guild over time for maintaining ownership of an RvR keep.
- Battlefield Objective Ownership Bonus: While a guild possesses a claimed Battlefield Objective, a bonus is applied to all guild experience gains throughout the battlefields of WAR.
Rank Granted Advancement Rewards are awarded automatically when a guild attains the appropriate guild rank. When a granted advancement reward is awarded the guild is informed of the reward with a guild-wide chat notification and the notification is logged in the Guild News Log.
Some of the exciting things your guild will unlock as it levels up include:
- The ability to access a guild vault
- Additional guild vault space
- The ability to create a custom guild heraldry
- Guild cloaks
- Guild Standards template
- Guild Standard tactics slots
- Guild Standard trophy slot
- Guild Standard trophies
- Guild tactics points (used to purchase guild tactics)
Want more information? We like to keep with the trends these days and leave you in suspense; most of the items above will be revealed in Guild Highlights issues to be published here on the Herald in coming weeks. Stay tuned!
Tome Raiders is a new beta guild based on the Order side. We are called the Tome Raiders because our guild is founded on the fact we love to play games deep, and want to explore every nook and cranny of it. The Warhammer world is very unique, and has much to see and do, and we want to try every single flavor of it. To do so, Mythic has created the Tome of Knowledge, an encyclopedia of sorts that documents your travels, the lore of the game, what enemies you have encountered, maps where you have traveled, and your influence all over the world. We will use the Tome to fully explore all landmarks, all quests, all RvR areas, and stake a claim in RvR with our banner. As raiders, we encourage group and warband events, in order to be able to enjoy every part of the game, without feeling left out or alone.
From the Guild Leader:
Our guild values having fun and friendships, over anything else, and I think the approach we are taking with Warhammer is winning over many players who are extremely hesitant about joining guilds, either because they have had bad experiences in the past, or they never felt they fit in. As the leader of the guild, I expect everyone to be having fun while playing, and be able to try everything Mythic puts on our plate. There is not one portion of the game we exclude, RvR, PvE crafting, we do it all! We make sure players have access to groups to encourage teamwork, and be able to experience content they might never be able to if they were playing solo or in an unorganized pick up group.
We’ll see you in WAR, Tome Raiders!
