Guild

Introduction

Have some mesos to spare? Want to have a cool emblem under your character, and a longer buddy list? Then a guild seems like a good idea!

A guild in itself is basically as mentioned, an extended buddy list. This is a great way to communicate with other people who you enjoy playing with.

Creating A Guild

To start a guild you need a few things.

• 1,500,000 Mesos.
• 6 Members in a Party, making sure the individual purchasing the Guild is the party leader.

Once you have the above then you're ready! Head over to the top left of Orbis and enter the portal here. You'll then arrive at the Guild HQ!

Get your party to enter the building and ask them to wait there whilst you talk to Heracle who will set your guild up for you.

First he will take your mesos and then ask you to give your Guild a name.

NOTE: Keep in mind the Guild Name must be Unique to your server and cannot contain special characters, must have under 12 characters and no spaces.

And if it meets the requirements...you're done!

You now have a Guild and can now access your Guild stat screen by pressing G unless, obviously, you changed the button. This will display the following:

• Guild Notice
• Members of the guild.
• Current Level of all members.
• Current Job of all members.
• Whether the member is Online or Offline.
• Their current hierarchy rank.
• The Guild BBS(Global Maple Story only)

But, if you want to create a guild emblem, you will need:

• 5,000,000 ( 5 Million ) mesos

[Please Note: You CAN Make A Guild Emblem With Even 1 Member. Aslong As You Have 500,000 Mesos Then You Can Buy Your Emblem.]

A guild emblem is a guild with a simple picture beside the guild name. It is very expensive, but the picture is worth the money...if you have enough money.

Hierarchy

Okay, so the hard bit is done, now for the fun stuff.

There are 5 different ranks, all of which are customizable, although 2 of these have slightly different powers.

For example, when you first create a guild you will have the following default rank system:

Master - Full power, can expel, rename ranks, promote/demote members, create Guild messages, create emblem, delete guild and expand the guild. If the master quits the Guild then the entire Guild is abandoned (Disbanding the guild requires 200,000 Mesos.).

Jr. Master - Moderate power, can expel, promote/demote members and create Guild messages.

Member x 3 - No power.

So you're probably thinking, but I don't want to keep the boring default titles! Well luckily you can edit them! Unfortunately you're pretty limited but nonetheless it's fun to mess with.

NOTE: Keep in mind the Rank Name cannot contain special characters or spaces.

Expanding

So great, everything is going good, but surely 10 members is not enough! You want more right?

For a certain price you can extend Guilds to take more members. However, this price is somewhat expensive and may prove a little daunting after just spending 1.5 million on a Guild.

The first expansion will increase your maximum members by 5, the downside is that this will cost you a hefty 500,000 mesos.

The second expansion will cost a staggering 1,500,000 mesos and again will increase your guilds maximum members by 5.

Third costs 2,500,000 with the same member increase.

Fourth costs a dizzying 3,500,000 mesos, but will increase your maximum members to 30.

You can expand to a maximum of 100 member slots now. The next expansion prices aren't fully known.

Guild Emblems

The final thing a Guild needs is an Emblem, an emblem not only looks funky but it will create alot more interest in your guild, hence more characters will be willing to join.

To create a guild emblem simply head back to the Guild HQ in Orbis and speak to Lea.

She will ask for 5,000,000 and then show you the Emblem Screen.

There are over 300 combinations and you can edit the icon, background, border, and color.

Once paid for and chosen the emblem will appear under every member's character. You can have as many members in your guild as you wish and still get the guild emblem, as long as you have the mesos you can get the guild emblem.

Guild BBS

The Guild BBS is in Global Maple Story and Taiwan Maple Story only.

The BBS comes with your Guild and is a Forum where people can post Topics. Each post can up to 25 Characters long. In Maple Global, posts can be a LOT larger.

Normal members can Delete and Edit their own posts. Jr.Master and Masters can Edit and Delete others posts.

Guild PQ

The newest edition to the Guilds is the Guild Party Quest at Sharenian. You can register your guild and party with them and go through the quest to gain Guild Points and eventually go up the guild ranks too. There is a ranking system in each server and it goes up to 50th place. You can view more information about this on the Sharenian Guild PQ article.

Extra Notes

• Any character can only be a member of one Guild.
• A Guild Master cannot delete his or her own character without first disbanding his or her guild.
• Disbanding a guild requires 200,000 mesos.
• In Korean Maple Story the Guild member ship maximum has been Increased to 100. (As of version .35, this is also true for Maple Global)
