A guild is a group of people who gathered together for a particular purpose.

There are a lot of exclusive contents that can be conducted only if you are included in a guild, and the reward for the various activities can be shared by all the guild members.

Create guild

For the guild, you can create from level 1 through the guild manager NPC in each town.

You need 100,000 silver coins when you create a guild for the first time, and out of this, 20,000 silver coins are used for commission and 80,000 silver coins as guild funds.

If you want to develop to a guild from a clan, you need to pay 100,000 silver coins for promotion to the guild manager.

(Like guild creation, 80,000 silver coins excluding the 20,000 silver coins will be saved as guild funds.)

Register guild insignia

In order to register guild insignia which is like the guild’s face, you need to buy ‘Guild insignia certificate’ item from the guild manager.

You can register guild insignia in guild window(G) after making 60X60 pixel ‘Gmark.png’ picture file into ‘My documents/Black Desert’ folder.

But keep in mind you can register and change guild insignia only on Mondays.

▲ If you click guild windows register/change insignia while holding a guild insignia certificate  

▲ The confirmation window like the above appears and the guild insignia is registered.

Guild member contract and leave

In order to register another character to the guild, you need to click the guild invite in the interaction menu or click the name of the character who is trying to register from the chat window and invite.

But, in order to register to a guild, the recruiter (chief/commander) has to be on the same server with a new member.

You are registered to the guild when you sign the contract sent by the guild master.

In the contract, there are contract terms, daily pay and cancellation fee, and contract terms are 1day, 7 days, 14days, or 30days.

In case of contract terms, it can be set by the guild master and daily pay and cancellation fee are tied to the contract terms.

When making the first contract the daily pay can be 0 days(0 silver coin)/1day(1000silver coins)/7days(7000silver coins)/ 14days(14000silver coins)/30days(30000 silver coins), and 1 day after the contract is made contract renewal can be done.

When renewing the contract, you can increase the 1% of current pay for 100 points of current activity level, and the increase can be limited to 100% for each contract.

For example if your current pay is 30,000 silver coins and activity level is 10,000, you can renewal the contract at a maximum of 60,000 silver coins. 

Renewal can be done at least once a day, and it is renewed on midnight (24 o’clock) real time.

If your contract with the guild has ended, you can leave the guild without any penalties, but if you leave the guild within the contract terms, you need to pay the cancellation fee depending on the period and if you don’t have the amount of money, you can’t leave the guild.

If a guild member is forced to leave by the chief or commander,

3 times the daily pay will be paid to the guild member as a compensation.

Guild duty and rights

Unlike clan, you can appoint a commander and a quartermaster in a guild.

The commander supports the master and has the guild management authority.

There is no limit on the number of commanders.

The guild master can appoint all the guild members as commanders or appoint no one.

Guild master

The person in charge of the guild. Since it holds a lot of authority, it has many responsibilities as well.

If a guild is a company, the guild master is the president. 

If the master is unavailable for a long period of time, there is a big possibility that the guild won’t function very well.

Commander  

Can get part of the guild authority and help the guild master to manage a guild.

If it’s a company, it is the role of an administrator.

Quartermaster  

Is in charge of supplying war supplies.

Guild member

If you register to a guild, you automatically become a guild member.

You can increase the guild members to a maximum of 100 people.

As the size of the guild gets bigger, the maximum capacity of the guild member and protection capacity increases as well.

But the size of the guild is decided by the number of people who joined, apart from the maximum member capacity.

• Increasing Guild protection capacity  

Other than the protection capacity that is provided, the maximum protection capacity can be increased by using guild scores. Can increase up to 10% of the current member capacity, and if the maximum capacity is 100 people, upon the basic protection capacity of 10 people, additional 10 people can be added so 20 people can be set as protection capacity. Every time the protection capacity increases by one person, 1 guild score is spent. The guild member that is set as protection capacity can’t be attacked by an enemy guild member, but if the enemy guild member activates forced attack (ALT+C), can be attacked.

Guild communication

Guild members can exchange information and communicate through guild communication. You can use chat conversation by entering /G key into the chat window or activating the input window and then pressing ALT+5.

If you add !(exclamation mark) in front of the chat sentence, you can show your message on the top center of the game screen to all the guild members who are connected.

If a guild member in the same server collapses during a guild war, the location is shown as skull on the world map.

It is the easiest way to check in which area our guild members are having a fight.

Also, the guild members from the same guild is displayed as green mark on mini map and world map.

Guild fund

Guild fund starts with the minimum of 80,000 silver coins at the point of creating a guild.

No one can withdraw the guild fund and it is used only for the operation of a guild.

How to obtain guild fund

1. Guild mission

The most basic way to obtain guild funds is to complete the guild mission.

Depending on the size and the type of guild mission, the fund differs.

Gaining guild scores

Guild mission

The most basic method to gain guild score is to accomplish guild mission.

Depending on the size of guild and type of the guild, from minimum of 500 to maximum of 24000 guild skill experience can be obtained. If the guild accomplishes 100% of the guild skill experience, the guild can earn 2 guild points.

As the size of the guild mission gets bigger and the time limit is high, the guild can earn more guild skill scores.

Increase the level and skills of guild members

In case of a new adventurer who can’t help with guild mission because of the low level, the adventurer can contribute to the guild growth by increasing the character level and life level.

Although smaller than guild mission, the new adventurer is much faster in increasing the level and life skills, so they can earn more guild activity than you might expect.

Guild mission

Guild mission is a content where reward is provided after paying the deposit and completing the mission.

Guild mission can be carried out 5 times a day per a guild.

The goal for most missions are to accomplish the goal within limited time,

And for the types of mission there are gathering (processing), and fishing.

If the guild fails to accomplish the goal within the given time it must give up the mission, if the guild presses forfeit guild mission, guild point can’t be earned.

(When forfeiting, the number of available mission doesn’t come back)

For the guild mission, the needed number of people differs depending on the size.

The recommended number of people are 1~5 people for small, 6~10 people for medium, 10~15 people for large, and 16~20 people for extra large. If there are guild members with high levels and great equipment, the required number of people decreases.

▲ The guild mission can be checked on the top button after pressing open the guild window by pressing shortcut

General mission

General mission is made up of gathering (processing), fishing and trading, and has the advantage of life skills while carrying on with guild mission.

If the level is low and there are many guild members who enjoy life contents, general mission is recommended. Gathering and fishing quests are displayed in green, and trade is displayed in brown icon.

Out of the general mission, trade mission is only suggested for guild with strong teamwork since the level of difficulty is high, having to spend the guild member’s fund and restricting skills as well has the master having to join.

Guild skill

Guild skill is a various effect that is applied on all the guild members.

Out of guild skills, there is a passive type of skill that can be applied right after learning, and active type skill that is applied for a certain period of time when used.

Related to combat

Out of combat related skills, there is Furious roar (accuracy up), Battle roar (All AP increase), Flame of life (Max HP increase scroll) and Flame of protection (Damage reduction).

They are guild skills that are useful for hunting, so if there are a lot of guild members who like hunting or PvP, it is a guild skill that should be considered first.

Life related

Out of life skills there are Nimble fingers (gathering level increase), art of fishing (fishing level increase), and skilled rider. Out of these, the most popular ones are nimble fingers and art of fishing, and the skilled rider is not as efficient.

If there are a lot of guild members who like gathering and crafting, learning life skill is recommended. But compared to combat skills it consumes a lot of guild scores, so it is better to learn according to the life level of the guild members.

Guild war

It is a function that allows PvP anywhere else irrelevant to the level for the guild member, declaring a war on another guild.

Declaration of war

It is possible to declare war without the opposing guild’s consent,

And can declare war upon 6 guilds the maximum.

If the master or commander who started the war presses ‘stop’ button, they can stop the war right away.

But calling off guild war can be done 1 hour after declaration of war.

Declaring and ending guild war, and checking war status can be done through guild window.

※ During guild war, if above set karma, it does not get affected by all death penalty.

Guild protection capacity

Guild protection capacity allows a guild member who does not want to have war to be protected from the war but if the enemy activates forced attack (ALT+C), the guild member can be attacked.

The basic number of guild protection capacity is up to 10 people maximum, and differs depending on the size of the guild. If you think that you can’t protect all the guild members with the basic number of guild protection capacity, you can use guild scores to increase the maximum number of guild protection capacity.

You can increase up to 10% of the current maximum capacity, and you need 3 points for increasing 1 person. Only the guild master can set the protection for the guild members, and the guild master and commander can’t be protected through this function.

Disband guild

If the guild can’t be kept, the final method is to disband the guild.

In the first page of guild window (G), press ‘disband’ button.

There must be no guild members other than the guild master to disband a guild.

Guild rank

You can check the guild rank by pressing ESC and checking the guild rank menu.

Basically, the list is displayed in the order of guild with highest point coming first, and if the guild score is the same, the rank is decided based on experience point.

Number of guild members, if the guestbook and the guild introduction has been updated, and the life skill level of the guild member can be used to look at the guild rank so if you check the guild rank you can see which guild focuses on what to enjoy Black Desert.

In guild rank, if you put your mouse over guild name, you can check the simple guild introduction, and if you click the guild name, you move to the relevant guild page and read the detailed guild introduction and guest book.

These various standards will help each adventurer on selecting the guild based on their play style.
