Guild

Guilds are associations of people with the same goal or objectives. In Spiral Knights, joining a guild gives you access to a special guildhall where all members can go to meet. Guilds also have their own chat channel that can be used anywhere.

Guild Features

Guild Ranks

From highest to lowest, the available guild ranks are:

• Guild Master - is able to view guild & officer chat, invite knights into the guild, and promote knights up to guild master, and demote/remove knights of lower seniority
• Officer - is able to view guild & officer chat, invite knights into the guild, promote knights up to officer, and demote/remove knights of lower seniority
• Veteran - is able to view guild chat and use the guildhall
• Member - is able to view guild chat and use the guildhall
• Recruit - is able to view guild chat and use the guildhall

Seniority

Seniority in a guild is determined by time of promotion. If PlayerA is promoted to officer before PlayerB is promoted to officer, PlayerA will have seniority over PlayerB. If PlayerC is promoted later, both PlayerA and PlayerB will have seniority over PlayerC.

Unless the original creator/guild master of the guild leaves the guild, that player will always have the highest seniority over all the guildmates.

Guild Chat

The /guild command shares your message with everyone in your guild.

Usage

Guild Officer Chat

The /officer command shares your message with everyone ranked officer or higher in your guild.
