Banners of the Realm

Guild System

A guild is a lasting banner other players rally to. Beyond a name over your head, a guild in Evolution is a shared institution: a vault your members bank into, a rank ladder that delegates authority, and five upgrades the whole guild pools its wealth to raise.

Founding a guild

To found a guild you must be at least level 10, a citizen of a nation (you cannot start one as a neutral traveller), and able to pay the 10,000 gold founding fee. The founder becomes the Guildmaster.

Minimum level: 10
Citizenship: Required
Founding fee: 10,000 gold
Warehouse cap: 500 slots

Joining and leaving

Membership is handled with tickets. The Guildhall Officer in the Guild Hall hands them out for free, and shops will not buy them. Take as many Guild Admission Tickets as your bag holds — Guildmasters and Captains keep a few to hand to the people they invite — but only one Guild Secession Ticket at a time. Hand a Guild Admission Ticket to the Guildmaster or to a Captain to apply — whoever receives it approves or rejects the request, so nobody has to wait for the Guildmaster to log in. To leave, double-click a Guild Secession Ticket or hand it to the Guildhall Officer, and confirm. The Guildmaster or a Captain can also expel a member from the Members tab of the guild menu: Expel member, click the member, and confirm — it works on members who are offline too. New members always start at the lowest rank, Guildsman.

Ranks & permissions

Guilds use a single rank ladder, highest authority first. The Guildmaster and the Captains hand out ranks — a Captain only the ranks below their own, and only to members below them — and Veterans can grant or remove the Huntmaster and Raidmaster ranks, their own included. Ranks can be given to members who are offline. Captain, Huntmaster and Raidmaster slots are limited: one per level of the matching upgrade.

Guild ranks
Rank	Authority
Guildmaster	Everything — hand out every rank, transfer leadership, approve applicants, expel members, summon and withdraw from the warehouse.
Captain	Second in command. Approves applicants — a Guild Admission Ticket can be handed to a Captain when the Guildmaster is offline — and expels the members who rank below them. Also summons, withdraws from the warehouse, and hands out the ranks below their own — Huntmaster, Raidmaster, Veteran and Guildsman.
Huntmaster	Carries the Huntmasters bonuses for the group — better drops and less damage from monsters — and may withdraw from the guild warehouse. The rank is put on hold while its holder is AFK or offline, which frees the slot; it comes back when they return if the slot is still free.
Raidmaster	Carries the Raidmasters bonus for the group and may withdraw from the guild warehouse. The rank is put on hold while its holder is AFK or offline, which frees the slot; it comes back when they return if the slot is still free.
Veteran	May withdraw from the guild warehouse, and grants or removes the Huntmaster and Raidmaster ranks.
Guildsman	The starting rank for every new member, and the only one that cannot withdraw from the guild warehouse.

A Guildmaster cannot walk away from a guild that still has members: they first use Transfer leadership on a member who is online, and step down to Guildsman. A guild is dissolved only when its Guildmaster leaves as the last member — and that is refused while the guild warehouse still holds items, so empty it first.

The five guild upgrades

Guilds grow by pooling donated gold, majestics, contribution and enemy kills into five upgrades. Each has its own maximum level; higher levels cost dramatically more, so upgrades are a long-term guild project rather than a quick purchase.

Guild upgrades and their maximum levels
Upgrade	Max level	What it gives the guild
Warehouse	10	A shared vault every member can bank into. Each level adds 50 storage slots, up to 500 at max level.
Summons	8	Lets the Guildmaster and the Captains call a guild member to where they stand. Each level opens more destinations; the last one opens none, and instead cuts the price and raises the daily limit.
Captaincy	10	Unlocks Captain rank slots — one per level — so trusted members can help run the guild.
Raidmasters	10	A flat combat-damage bonus equal to the upgrade level, shared with nearby partied guildmates while a Raid Master is with them.
Huntmasters	10	A +3% drop-rate bonus per level, and monsters deal 3% less damage per level — both shared the same way while a Hunt Master is with the group.

Guild summons

A summon is called by the Guildmaster or a Captain, who must be standing on the destination map, and it brings one online member to that spot. The member gets a prompt and has 60 seconds to accept — not having taken damage for 10 seconds and having stood still for 5 seconds. The price comes out of the guild's gold pool, never the summoner's bag, and only once the member accepts.

Only the 18 maps below are valid destinations, spread across 7 levels of the upgrade. A map that is not on the list cannot be summoned to at any level or price. The member being called must also fit the map's own level limits, and nobody is summoned into or out of an arena match.

Summon destinations and their price
Summons level	Maps it opens	Cost per summon
1	Aresden Dungeon · Aresien Garden · Elvine Dungeon · Eldiniel Garden · Rocky Highland · Eternal Field · Silent Wood	5,000 gold
2	Promiseland · Dungeon L2	10,000 gold
3	Middleland Dungeon · Middleland Mine · Middleland	15,000 gold
4	Dungeon L3 · Dungeon L4	20,000 gold
5	Tower of Hell 1 · Tower of Hell 2	25,000 gold
6	Ice Map	30,000 gold
7	Tower of Hell 3	40,000 gold

Where the wealth comes from

Upgrades are paid for from the guild's shared pools — gold, majestics, accumulated contribution, and for the martial upgrades, enemy kills. Every member's donations are tracked, so a guild that fights and gives together climbs its upgrades far faster than one that does not.

The warehouse the guild is buying sits next to your own ten-page personal one — both are on City Hall & Services.
