Overview: A person can be a member of three guilds and two hidden/prestige guilds at any given time for a total of five (5) memberships at once. Currently the main guilds stand at Healers, Celestial, Merchants, Travelers, Alchemists, Ashen Spire, Crafters, Heraldry, Town Guard, and Mercenary. Guild members will be giving a rank based partially on skill sets and in-character experience and partially according to the charter of the specific guild (some guilds may require a service be performed to advance in rank or all foreigners may have to start at a lower rank than indicated by skill level, etc.)
Rank 5 in a standard guild is eligible to be head of a chapter/guild house. Rank 7 is eligible to oversee a group of head of chapter/guild houses and likely only for NPCs. Ranks 7 through 10 are NPC only with rank 10 being the head of the Guild.
What are the benefits of being in a Guild?
Some guilds provide stipends in either coin or production items. The stipend amount is dependant on your rank in the guild. You also gain access to teachers and trainers and sale of production items at a reduced rate from local merchants. You will gain the ability to borrow magical items owned by your guild. You may also gain access to superior workshops, legendary workshops, and library access.
Additionally, you gain access to tailored mods, role-play opportunities, and sources of in-game information and gossip.
What are the responsibilities?
Assignments from the guild: Arbitrate a dispute between quarreling merchants for the merchants guild. Find berries for proper colored ink for heraldry guild. Acquire 50 production of potions to donate for the Healer’s Guild. Investigate the disappearance of an town guard guild member. etc.
The Heads of Guilds are involved as judges in relevant crimes along with knights or peerage: Merchant Head for robbery/smuggling, Earth Guild for necromancy, Celestial Guild for ritual assault, Mercenary Guild for Assault, Crafter’s Guild for arson, Heraldry Guild for treason, etc. The Head of the Guild may appoint a proxy from the guild’s ranks if she is not available for the trial.
You may be asked to give written and/or verbal reports on situations that affect the guild.
What is favor?
This is a measure of how much the guild currently favors you; it has a rating of one (1) to three (3) which acts as temporary ranks for the purpose of getting access to magic items, workshops, and other benefits. For example, if you are only rank 2, but have a favor of 3, you can gain access as if you were rank 5. Once favor is used it is depleted.
How do I gain more favor?
By going above and beyond your standard duty to your guild. Saving the lives of high ranking members, massive donation to the guild, ferreting out a plot against a guild or guild member, obtaining a unique magic item for the guild, etc.

Workshops
Superior A superior workshop can be used by multiple players in a given day. Superior workshops are efficient and outfitted with high quality tools and materials. As such, using a superior workshop reduces the cost of batching by .5, so a second batch would cost 1.5x the standard cost instead of 2x and third batch would cost 2 instead of 3x the standard cost. There are specialized superior workshops for (a) making alchemical items, (b) making and repairing armor and weapons, (c) creating potions, (d) creating scrolls, and (e) making traps.
Legendary A legendary workshop is akin to crafting an artifact. A legendary workshop will triple your base Production Points, thus making it possible to produce more of an item than normally possible. There are specialized legendary workshops for (a) making alchemical items, (b) making and repairing armor and weapons, (c) creating potions, (d) creating scrolls, and (e) making traps.A legendary workshop can be used by multiple players in a given day.
