Guilds

An example of a guild robe. Colors will differ depending on the guild

Basic Overview

To join an established guild, the player must locate the guild stone and click on it.
- The player cannot click on the guild stone in Combat Mode.
Any character may join a guild, as long as:
- The character is not a member of any other guilds, or hasn't applied (regardless of being accepted) to any other guilds in the past week.
- The guild in question has available space and is accepting new members.
- Animal characters cannot join guilds.
If you leave your guild, you cannot join a different guild for an entire week, real-time, after the date you originally joined the first guild.
- Note: a common misconception is that once you leave a guild, you have to wait a week before you are able to join a new one. This is not the case; instead it is based on the date you joined the guild that you left. You cannot join or create another guild within that week even if the guild leader kicked you from the guild.
Guild members will have their guild's name displayed above their names at all times, unless something is blocking it, such as speech bubbles or party recruitment signs.
- The Guild Master (aka Guild Leader) will have a yellow crown by the guild name above their head.
- Guild Sub-Masters (aka Officers) will have a silver crown by the guild name above their head.

Guild members may leave the guild by bringing up the Friends List and clicking the “Guild Home” button, which will bring up the guild's website. The "Leave" option is right next to their name in the Member List.
In addition, if the guild has expired, users may leave the guild by going to the Mabinogi Website and clicking guild under the Community Tab.
This is sometimes done on purpose, if one desires to create his or her own guild and does not want the pending wait time.

The leader must have the Extra Storage Service in order to create a guild. This is required in North American Version and is found in the Mabinogi Premium Service Package.
If the guild leader's Extra Storage Service expires, the guild stone will disappear along with the ability to use the "guild home" button window. Aside from these functions, however, the guild will still remain intact.
- Usually this will happen 24 hours after the leader's service expires.(happens sooner if there is a patch)
Characters using the Free Extra Storage cannot use it to create a guild; the Extra Storage must be bought in order for it to work.

Purchase a Guild Deed from Eavan in Dunbarton for 1000 gold.
Construct a Normal (Not Dungeon!) party with exactly 5 members, with the designated guild leader as party leader. Note: The other party members must not be members of any other guilds or applying for other guilds.
The leader can then "Use" the Guild Deed and select an appropriate name. Names are limited to twelve letters long, with no spaces.
When a name has been chosen, the other 4 party members will be asked to approve of the guild name.
Once the name has been approved, then the leader must choose the guild type. The available choices are: Battle, Adventure, Manufacturing, Commerce, Social, or Other. This choice has no effect whatsoever on the guild itself, and is only for informative purposes.
Finally, after selecting whether the guild will be accepting new members, the leader will be able to place the Guild Stone. Upon creation of a guild, the Guild Deed is turned into a Guild Stone to be placed.
Find a spot in an open field (not a town, city, or dungeon) in which to place the Guild Stone. The stone can only be placed in the following areas: Tir Chonaill lower and eastern fields, Dugald Aisle, Morva Aisle, Port Ceann, Taillteann outside Dunbarton, Gairech Hill, Metus, west of Vales or south of Filia
If all the above requirements are met and the guild creation is successful, then a scrolling message will appear on the top of all players' screens: "[Name] Guild has been created. Guild leader: [Creator]"

Leveling up the guild requires GP and gold.
- Members may contribute money and GP to the guild by clicking on the guild stone and selecting either the "Donate Gold to Guild" or "Convert Play Points into Guild Points" option.
Each time the guild is upgraded, the indicated amount below must be spent.

Guild Level	Required GP	Required Gold	Members
Default	-	-	Maximum of 5
Basic	100	2,000	Maximum of 10
Advanced	2,000	4,000	Maximum of 20
Great	7,000	50,000	Maximum of 50
Grand	20,000	100,000	Maximum of 250

The guild stone's outer appearance can be altered by the guild master, depending on the available resources of the guild.
There are three unique guild stone appearances. Their requirements are listed below.
