Guilds
Guilds are community-driven player clans in Kintara that allow players to team up, coordinate efforts, and manage shared goals. Being a member of a guild provides active gameplay benefits, while requiring collective resource contributions to remain active.
Founding a Guild
| Cost | Notes |
|---|---|
| 100 Gold | Reduced from 250 Gold in a recent balance pass. |
Ranks
Guilds run on a four-tier ladder: Recruit → Sergeant → General → Owner.
| Rank | Access |
|---|---|
| Recruit | New or unproven members. No guild bank access. |
| Sergeant | Unlocks the guild bank — can deposit and withdraw. |
| General | Runs the roster: can promote and demote members below their own rank. Only the Owner can promote someone to General. |
| Owner | Full control — sets per-member bank permissions, a daily gold withdrawal cap, and can freeze the bank in an emergency. Ownership transfer leaves the previous Owner as a General. |
Ranks show in the Members panel, where Owners and Generals promote from.
Guild Bank
The guild has a shared bank: deposit items and gold for guildmates, split stacks when you only want to move part of one, and follow every move in the Guild Log.
| Feature | Detail |
|---|---|
| Access | Earned — Recruits have none, Sergeant+ can deposit/withdraw |
| Owner controls | Per-member permissions, daily gold withdrawal cap, emergency freeze |
| Guild Log | Tracks every deposit and withdrawal — the guild can see who took what |
| Notifications | Owners and Generals get a DM whenever the bank is used |
What can go in the bank
Swords, armor, pickaxes, and axes can be deposited alongside gold and raw materials — not just resources.
- Wear is preserved — a half-used pickaxe comes back exactly as worn as it went in.
- Same-condition items stack together, the same rule as a personal bank.
- Every deposit and withdrawal is logged in the Guild Log.
- Mounts, pets, cosmetics, furniture, and scrolls stay in personal bags — these are explicitly excluded from the guild bank.
Features & Management
- Member Scaling: Guilds can be upgraded to grow their roster size, expanding from a starting capacity of 5 members up to a maximum of 20 members.
- Custom Tags: Guild leaders can set a unique, stylized guild tag (e.g., `[YN]`) to identify members in the Wilderness.
Guild Life (Upkeep)
To keep a guild active and maintain its passive bonuses, members must collectively contribute resources to fund its remaining Guild Life duration. If the Guild Life timer reaches zero, features or benefits may be temporarily suspended.
Burn Rate
The rate at which Guild Life drains scales dynamically with the size of the roster:
- Mechanic: Bigger guilds drain faster.
- For example, a guild with 11 members carries a x2.2 burn rate multiplier.
Resource Contributions
Any member can contribute resources directly from their inventory or bank account. The base resource exchange rate required to fund 1 day of guild life is:
| Material | Required Amount | Source / Skill |
|---|---|---|
 Wood
|
1,000 | Gathered via Woodcutting |
 Stone
|
750 | Gathered via Mining |
 Coal
|
500 | Mined from coal nodes |
 Cooked Fish
|
500 | Created via Cooking |
Players can utilize quick-deposit buttons to add +1 Day, +5 Days, or +10 Days worth of upkeep at a time, provided the guild bank or personal inventory has the total materials required.
User Interface
The Guild system menu is divided into four main functional panels:
- Guild Life: Monitors remaining upkeep time, member burn rates, and material contribution inputs.
- Guild Panel: Handles roster changes, rank promotions, and custom settings.
- Search: Allows players to look up open or recruiting clans.
- Leaderboard: Visualizes the top ranking guilds across the world.
