'GUILD REWARD', 'GUILD COMMISSION' The regularly spaced SURGE helps people to meet up for ranking and provide a means for casual players to keep up with the hardcore ones in the race for level 50. To complement this, we are announcing a new addition to our exp mechanic - guild points. This is a way to earn a "personal surge" you can have whenever you like. ==How do I get these points?== A guild point is earned in "off-surge" time. This time can be thought of as, (A) its not surge, and (B) its not *near* a surge endpoint. (Begin or End) All you have to do is be logged in. This earns you standing with your guild, for you are "representing" them in the realms. You can earn 1 point per day. ==How long should I play?== To obtain a guild point, you simply play 30 consecutive minutes of time on any given day. Do note that quitting out and returning will reset this timer. It must all be played in one go. If you lose link, that won't reset the timer, but the linkdead time is not counted. Once you have played the full 30 minutes, then that timer is "locked" and you can come back tomorrow (or some other day) to begin working on another point. ==How do I check its been long enough?== You do not need to return to guildmaster at all during this time, but if you want to check you have indeed earned your points, that is how to do so. As long as you completed the first guild quests of course, so that he doesn't decide he has something more important to say. Consider that an incentive to finish that quest, instead of saving it up for the exp bonus. Another way to check your current Guild Point total is by looking at your SCORE. You will see your current total and your monthly total listed beside "Guildpoints". ==How do I cash in my points?== After 3 guild points have been earned, then the guildmaster of your guild will offer you the reward. You can cash it in any time you like, but you cannot earn any further points after reaching 3. To cash them in, type ACCEPT GUILD. You can do this anywhere in the realms. ==What do I get?== You get a "guild reward". A "personal" surge describes this best. Enhanced experience, and enhanced learning, exactly the way the surge describes it. This lasts for 1 hour of time logged in, including time spent linkdead. However, it may only be activated in "off-surge" time. If you log out, you will lose the remainder of the time. This reward benefits your entire group. Note that there is no change to the amount of gold creatures drop when you kill them during a guild reward. Note: Guild banner needs to be deployed to use guild reward. See: BANNER
