Guild Hex

With a subscriber base of over 9 million players, it can seem a little lonely if you join a server with nowhere to go. To help players out, a guild system was invented by Blizzard, which allows players to talk to each other and team up to do different quests. So let’s look at you’re two options: finding one, or starting one up of your own…

Finding a Guild:

If you are fairly new to the game (level 15 or lower), it’s pretty important you find a good guild to help you out. Each server typically has hundreds of them, and you need to know what to look for when you join one.

First off, look at the times the guild is online. You’ll want to join one that has most of its members on around the same times as you normally play. If you can’t play with your guild when you normally play the game, then it’s not worth staying with them.

Secondly, the members of the guild you join should be around the same level as you are. Try to pick ones with members who share your chosen professions, so you can participate in quests with the guild. It ultimately comes down to what you want to do. If you want to join a guild to do quests with them, then pick a guild whose members are similar to your character. If you just want to chat with other players, it won’t matter so much.

Starting a Guild:

If you can’t find something you like, the other option is to become a guild master and create your own guild. This is not easy, however, and many players end up regretting become a guild master after a while.

When you start a guild you’ll need to go out of your way to try and find members. The problem is that most players aren’t interested in new start-ups, and would naturally rather join large, active guilds with many members to talk to. If you have some friends who play the game, then get them to join. This will at least kick start it in the right direction.

Another thing you have to do is set up a leadership chain. Many guilds don’t last longer than a few days because starting up a leadership chain takes work. You need to set up different styles of command, and position your friends to take different roles.

We all know that beginning the game can be incredibly difficult. Everything is so new to you, you’ve got different colored items, all kinds of monsters, even Guild Wars gold. There are two types of currency, gold and platinum. Platinum just equals 1000 gold, and is the games way of converting it over for you. Make sure you pay close attention to this in trades, as people sometimes try to use gold as platinum to convince new people they are better. Here are a few more tips to help you get into the game quicker. Take them step by step, to ensure you have a solid grasp on each method used.

Guild Wars gold farming is a popular method, and involves using an equipped character to kill mobs of monsters over and over again, usually completely clearing the areas. The two areas this method is practiced the most are in the very beginning stages of the game, in the Prophecies chapter, before you cross over into Post Searing. The reason that this area is so popular, is because the items that monsters can drop is severely limited, to include only basic magical weapons. There is one drop that people cherish in pre searing, and that are the vials of dye. People kill mob after mob seeking out white and black dyes, because they sell to players and merchants for 4,000 to 8,000 gold. This is a very lucrative way to earn a lot of gold quickly. You don’t have to have a high end character; you can do it just by being level 8-10 in pre searing, you will easily be able to dispatch the mobs.

If you are looking to build a healthy stash, and aren’t wanting to farm day in and day out, but actually play the game the way the designers intended, than I have news for you. You are going to be very wealthy by the end of the game. Remember to only purchase new armor and weapons when you can’t advance through the game any further. By purchasing items only during this time, you are going to save up a lot of gold. If you wait until the game gets difficult for you, usually, too hard to advance, you make sure that you aren’t wasting gold on items that you will never use. All of these items will add up by the end of the game, but you aren’t going to be happy with the results. You will have a stash full of items, but empty of gold.

Joshua has been playing online MMORPG’s since back when Diablo 1 came out. He has built up a very healthy stash of Guild Wars Gold, and intends to help others do the same. He wrote an excellent Guild Wars Gold Guide covering in depth details on how to earn more gold in game.

Any well organized end-game raiding guild focused on PvE progression needs to have a method for distributing the loot. The reason such system is needed is because often the players wish to put a lot of effort, money and time into raiding only if they know that they have an equally fair chance of obtaining the items they want from the loot. It is only fair that the people who work hardest on learning the new encounters and eventually beating them deserve such items more than players who have showed for 1 kill only after the boss is already on loot status. However, sometimes less geared players do benefit more from items than the veterans who have pretty much everything. So how should the guild be able to make it fair for everyone?

The short answer is that there is no simple solution. The long answer is that it takes a lot of team work to make things as fair as possible, but there is no ideal solution for everything and the lead of the guild often has to make decisions on the go when it comes to loot. Here are the loot distribution systems which are used more often with their down and up sides:

DKP (Dragon Kill Points) – this loot distribution system has been known in MMO games ever since Everquest and is quite popular. How does it work? The players earn DKP for being in the raid and these points are stored in a database or addon, depending on the choice the guild made. When an item drops, all players who are interested in getting it express interest in some way (placing a bid in a bid channel, whispering to the raid leader and so on) and the player with highest DKP or willing to pay most DKP for the item wins.

Downside: the more active players will get large DKP pool and will be able to take an item any time they wish even if it is better suited on another player’s character.

Upside: makes it all clear and obvious and everyone knows how much DKP they have / can spend as well as the players from the guild who have better chances in getting the items before your turn comes.

Loot Council – some guilds use this loot distribution system which consists of group of players (raid leader and officers) who decide which member of the raid group will get the item depending on who they think will need it most. This loot distribution system is easy to maintain as it requires no record keeping, but it is difficult to ensure that it is fair to everyone. Normally, the goal of this system is not to be fair – it is to ensure the success of the raid by awarding the items to key players first such as Main Tanks gets all the tanking bits first.

Downside: it is very difficult to convince everyone in the guild that the loot is distributed in a fair way, especially if there are people who also wanted the item and think they need it most. In order for Loot Council system to succeed, the guild needs to be similar minded and the Loot Council members must have everyone’s trust and support on their decisions.

Upside: you can gear up your key players easier and ensure some quicker progress – gearing up your main tank that is there for every raid is much more beneficial to the raid group than gearing up someone who shows up now and then.

No matter which loot distribution system your guild chooses, there is no magic formula for success. There will always be players who are not completely happy with the loot distribution; however minimizing the number of unhappy people should be doable. You can’t make everyone happy, but team work requires some hard decision to be made for everyone’s good.
