This week we bring you different ways to manage your guild’s items and money: Vaults, Taxes, and Tithes. These tools are meant to be a useful addition for any size guild. After all, what more do you need if you have a little nest egg in the bank?
Starting at Guild Rank 4, players may now access their guild’s vault through ‘Vault Keeper’ NPCs located in the capital cities. Players with the appropriate permission may deposit and/or withdraw currency as well as add and remove items. Guild members with permission can assign other guild members the ability to:
- Deposit Currency
- Withdraw Currency
- Deposit Items
- Withdraw Items
- View Items
The initial guild vault space is 1 tab of 60 inventory slots. Additional tabs are granted incrementally through guild advancement with a possible total of 4 tabs equaling 240 slots.
Guild Taxes are a Guild Reward which unlock at Guild Rank 3, allowing Guild leadership to enforce a mandatory deduction from each player’s loot earnings. Once unlocked, members may view the Guild Tax Rate in the Guild Window Rewards Tab. Members with permission may set the Guild Tax Rate in the Guild Window Rewards Tab.
Guild Tithes are a Guild Reward which unlock at Guild Rank 3, allowing each individual member to voluntarily contribute a portion of their loot earnings to the guild coffers. Once unlocked, members may view their Guild Tithe Rate in the Guild Window Rewards Tab. Members may also edit their Guild Tithe Rate in the Guild Window Rewards Tab.
Whenever a Guild member earns money from looting a monster, the Guild Member Tithe Rate is added to the Guild Tax Rate, and the total percentage is deducted from the player’s earnings and added to the Guild coffers.
- Example: If the tax rate is 20% and the player’s Tithe Rate is 10%, earning 10 brass from looting a monster would give the player 7 brass and the guild would receive 3. Fractions are rounded down and given to the player such that if the Guild Tax Rate is 5% and the Tithe Rate is 5% and the player earns 11 brass from looting a monster, the player earns 10 brass and the guild receives 1 brass.
Gold collected by guilds via taxes, and tithes can be used to pay for keep upkeep, and funds can be withdrawn to purchase a number of useful items and services, including:
- Keep Claiming
- Standards
- Teleportation Scrolls which take you to the Guild Tavern
- Special crafting items only purchasable in the Guild Tavern
- Reduced Cost Renown Gear (Available in the Guild Tavern)
- Reduced Cost Siege (Also available in the Guild Tavern)
