About Exalt

Exalt means to praise, glorify, honor, high or elevated in rank, position, dignity etc. We at Exalt see our selves as a group of nice people, we mostly enjoy doing clockwork runs but there is a few members who enjoy playing lockdown and blast network and do so regularly. We play GLD ( Guild Lockdown ) on rare occasions. Exalt is populated by both guys and girls, both young and old, some are skilled and some still learning the basics, some are quiet and the others talkative but we all share the same kindness and warmth for each other, we are a little online family. We have occasional guild competitions that we organize amongst ourselves and they usually end up being fun. Exalt is a serious guild, GM's and officers are online regularly and so are most of the members, people are promoted to a rank of veteran based on their personality, skill, equipment and time being in the guild but they get promoted upward based on their devotion to the guild and everyone in it. We are a helpful kind of people always trying to teach and support our friends in both battle and equipment choices, we are also providing video tutorials on how to pass the tests and how to handle some enemies in the clockworks. Most importantly we are all here for the fun with a friendly group of people. We play many games together, games such as Minecraft, Terraria, Team Fortress 2 and many others. We have our forum which is used for organizing events and for the guild news feed. If you like what you read here and if you haven't found that perfect little commune for yourself, maybe Exalt is the answer.

How To Join

All nice, mature people are welcome to Exalt. Any member of Exalt can ask an officer or a guild master to invite their friend to the guild (person being recruited will have to fill in application and send it direct to proctor recruiting them), if someone wants to join on their own, without knowing anyone in the guild they can send a application trough the in game mail to one of the following: Akikita, Hayashi Kuro, Skruzo, Spinline ( in case they do not get a reply in 24 hours they should try the next person on the list ) or talk to anyone from Exalt they find in haven. Equipment requirements don't exist in Exalt for people who are good friends of our guild members but if you wish to join on your own you need to have a full 5* set.

Guild Rules

Exalts number 1 rule is be nice to and respectful of your fellow guildies and other Spiral knights players, feel free to use the guild chat to present yourself when you join and for any topic that you would like to talk about but bear in mind that there are children in the guild. Do not do anything that can bring the Exalt name down or get the guild in trouble (Insulting or making fun of others on runs or PVP, being rude etc.). Act maturely and don't send random invites to people but rather ask first.

Members who haven't been online for a while might get removed if the guild has no room for new members, lower ranking inactive players will be removed first but any removed member should get in contact with someone from the guild to get re invited when he starts playing again and the guild will do its best to make room for him again. If a member left Exalt on his own and if he did so in a nice manner ( with no insults and raging ) he is welcome to rejoin and take back his rightful place at any time ( if a long time passed since the member left he will then rejoin as a recruit or with a slightly higher ranking ).

In case you are too weak to join some mission but you got invited, you must warn the party leader that you are under equipped so he can give you the green light to join. Do not send out random invites to guildies for runs unless you are sure they don't mind.

Before taking your promotion test it is expected of you to know exactly what you need to do so you don't waste the time of the person who is testing you. Before you ask for your promotion or when you are offered to take your test make sure you read the guild promotions section before you start the run, learn what you need to do, if the text is that is not enough watch the video tutorial on how to pass the test and if that still leaves some questions unanswered then ask one of the higher ranking people in the guild to help you understand what you need to do but do so before you go on your promotion run ( promotion run starts as soon as you make a party for that test ).

Storage - Taking things from the storage is only allowed for personal use! Selling anything from the storage is strictly forbidden!!! Taking expensive materials (over 1K cr in value) or a big lot of materials from the storage should be repaid with a 20% discount ( CR or items/mats accepted ).

Mist well - Taking mist is allowed but has to be repaid form each batch immediately by mailing crowns to Mist-Minion. The amount of crowns to be mailed is calculated using this formula: <Amount of mist taken> X (times) 0.9 X (times) <current price for 1ce> - 100 cr ( mailing costs ). Example, if you took 74 mist: 74 x 0.9 x 70 - 100( 70 is the current price for 1ce which will change over time so use the CURRENT price ).

Guild Hall Design Mode - Every veteran or higher is allowed to use the design mode. Try out your ideas, make screenshot's, show your work to officer's and GM's but make sure that after you are done, you return everything back to where it was before you started.

Report indecent behaviour - If you witness someone acting indecent you should report him to an officer or a GM and help make your guild a better place.

For the remaining rules use rational thinking to imagine what they could be.

Guild Promotions

Members are required to be in Exalt for a minimum of 1 week, have a full 3 star equipment set with at least one 4 star weapon and have proven them selves to be nice people, they need to know about the basic damage types ( which type of enemy is weak to which type of damage and which type of damage is their basic damage dealt, example: All fiends deal shadow as their basic damage and all fiends are weak to pierce damage ). They need to have done all tier 1 and tier 2 bosses. After meeting all the requirements a recruit can request to take his test and become a member by passing it, more details about the tests are given in the "Tests" section of the wiki. Member rank is respected in Exalt, being a member means you have proven yourself as being a nice person and that you can handle yourself in battle. Be proud of yourself, you have just became a member in a group of good people.

Recruits can take their test before the 7 day waiting period is over and if they pass it, the person who tested them needs to mail person in charge of promotions informing them about it. The recruit would still have to wait till the 7 day period is over to get promoted.

Veterans are required to be a Member rank in Exalt for a minimum of 6 weeks. Members wishing to take this test must be a Vanguard rank. Every member will have to get 2 veterans ( or higher rank ) to recommend them for a promotion. As soon as they get the needed number of recommendations the officer in charge of promotions will inform them that they are eligible to take their test. Members that receive their recommendations before the 6 week period passes will still have to wait for that period to pass to be able to take their test. More details about the tests are given in the "Tests" section of the wiki. Veterans are very skilled, well equipped, honored amongst the guild which makes them model guildies. Basically, they are cool, as cool as Exalt veteran sounds :)

Veterans can and should recommend members for a promotion if they think they deserve it, they should do so by mailing the person in charge of promotions which is currently Akikita and recommend one or more people they see fit with a short explanation about what they like in them.

Veterans can also test members for their test and if the member passes the test all that the veteran is supposed to do is mail the person currently in charge of promotions ( Akikita ) and inform them who passed their test and that officer or gm would take it over from there.

Officers An officer is chosen by the GM's. With the level of selection we apply to our members we end up with so many people that are good officer material that we end up raising the bar for officer very high. Officers are chosen when there is need for one, we need officers in different timezones so do not be surprised if a guild member quickly becomes an officer in a time zone where there aren't any officers active. To become an officer in Exalt there needs to be a need for a new officer, also, you must be well known and be a respected guild veteran in Exalt. Officers have a big knowledge of the game and they are able to transfer that knowledge to others, officers are very helpful, always willing to jump in and help anyone, they solve problems before or as they arise, they recruit regularly and take care of the guild web presentations regularly ( wiki, forum, youtube channel ). An Exalt officer is a servant of his fellow guildies, a protector, teacher and also, just another guildie, but a guildie that is working in their gaming hours to make sure other guildies have it good and that is why we honor our officers so much.

Guild Master A rank of a guild master is a supreme honor given to a distinctive few who have tried so hard and worked so much for this guild that they ended up caring more for the actual well-being of their guildies than the game it self.

Tests

Members test In this test the recruit needs to prove they are able to solo the T2 arena, spawn the 8 gun puppy wave clean and do all that without dieing. Spawning the 8 gun puppy wave clean means spawning those 8 gun puppies with no other enemies in the arena or with a maximum of one but, but if that one enemy is killed and it triggers a new wave of enemies while some of the gun puppies are alive the test will be a fail. This test is done in a T2 arena of the testers choice-Veteran/Officer/GM, (beast arena's are never used and fiend arenas are only used if no other good arenas are available), recruit needs to finish the whole arena without dieing and they must to spawn the 8 gun puppy wave "clean", if a recruit doesn't know how to do so he should watch the Exalt tutorial - Members test video. Practice run before the test is recommended. Death or failing to spawn the 8 gun puppy wave clean will result in failing the test and having to wait 2 weeks to retake it. During the test both the recruit taking the test and the examiner are in the arena but the examiner will die at the start and watch the recruit while dead. If a recruit has difficulty passing an arena he/she should ask for help from a higher ranking member, officer is suggested. The whole point of this test is to help those who have problems running the arenas, passing this test will require them to learn about the wave control in arenas which many people do not know about, learning the correct way to do a arena will make it easier on them to run T3 arenas and help them not to kill their fellow party members in arenas by spawning the 8 gun puppy wave during the time while other enemies are alive. Recruit is expected to read the wiki, watch the video and then ask questions if he has some but all that before he even stars working his way down towards the arena.

Veterans test In this test members are supposed to prove they are able to deal with all of firestorm's mobs, they need to be able to kill all enemies in each room without leaving the room ( in some cases leaving the room for a short time like using a pill and going back in may be allowed but not if done often ). This test is done on D25 ( Depth 25 ) level Firestorm Citadel, the Member taking the test needs to pass this level, he/she needs to complete the level without dieing and all enemies on the level must be dead, use of gates to protect against enemies in each room is NOT allowed. During the test both the Member taking the test and the examiner (Officer/GM) are in the level but the examiner will die at the start and watch the Member while dead. It's suggested to view the Exalt tutorial - Veterans test video before you attempt to do your test. Member is required to show they know how to do the puppy room correctly:

• Killing the gun puppy and running in front of it to the other side
• Going backwards either using a shock or alchemer to open the walls
• Glitching the puppy to look towards the door and then doing the room ( this method is only allowed to players who do not carry a elemental or normal type gun and didn't find enough vials to open the walls and go backwards.
• Not allowed to run in fornt of a puppy and also not allowed to fight while the rockets are shooting at you, those 2 methods will resolve in a FAIL.

Member is expected to read the wiki, watch the video and then ask questions if he has some but all that before he even stars working his way down.

Officers test In this test a veteran needs to prove what is his skill level with all types of enemies. This test is done in the arena "The Gauntlet", Veteran taking the test needs to complete "The Gauntlet" without dieing. During this test the GM will be dead and watching the Veteran taking the test. Veteran is expected to read the wiki, watch the video and then ask questions if he has some, but all that before he even starts working his way down. It is recommended to watch the Exalt tutorial - Officers test video.

Starting out in Exalt

Useful information for all Exalt members can be found here on the wiki which is our main information source, party with us almost every night listening to the Exalt Radio or being a DJ as well, Exalt forum is where we organize some events and on our Youtube channel is where we post our youtube videos that are full of useful info, we regularly voice chat in our Steam group which is locked but you can ask a GM/Officer for a invite when you join Exalt. In case you want to organize a event ( challenge or a competition or even a get together in the garden party ) you can use a forum as well but consult you're GM's or officers to post a notification on the wiki about the event or maybe give you some help or advice. You should check the wiki every now and then to see the changes on it since the wiki is regularly updated. Any questions you have, about gear or anything else that troubles you, feel free to ask anyone from the guild for help but make sure that you ask a person that has enough experience to give you a good objective advice, GM's and officers are often a good choice since most of them have alot of experience and they also will know who to point you to if they are not experienced in the matter you want advice for. Do not hesitate to ask other guild mates to join you're parties or ask to join theirs, being shy will get you nowhere :). Our GLD teams are not closed, anyone can be a part of them, just talk to people if you want to join some GLD match, same goes for GBN ( Guild Blast Network ). If you have any fan art made please inform a GM or officer about it so they can post it on the wiki and if you wish to post some screenshots that is ok as well. If in any case you are miss treated you need to notify officer or a GM about it, send a detailed explanation what happened. Most of this info was logical and unneeded for most but some are too shy to ask for help so we try to encourage them here.
