The Guilds & Ranks explained

The Guilds
*On Dreamscape there are four groups known as 'Guilds'. They are categories of ranks that characters can join and strive to level up in, for basic game play fun and character development! Having goals for your character gives them something to do and work toward and keeps things interesting for you, the player!

*The four guilds are: Quest, Theft, War and Peace.

*Each guild has 13 Ranks to achieve, all of which are represented by a stone worn around the neck. Characters are welcome to focus on one guild at a time, or try multiple guilds at once - however you wish! All characters that reach the top rank will be remembered in Dreamscape's Hall of Fame.


The Ranks
*When a character first enters the guild their rank is Quartz, and their stone is clear. As they progress through the ranks their stone will change colors and gradually darken until they reach the final rank: Obsidian. The stone darkens to represent the magic within the stone that is becoming thicker and denser, which shows more power that the character holds.

*In order, the ranks are: Quartz, Pearl, Citrine, Topaz, Garnet, Moonstone, Amethyst, Opal, Emerald, Sapphire, Ruby, Pyrite, Hematite & Obsidian.

*To join the Guilds, post in updates. You'll also need to post there to update your character's rank if/when they achieve a higher ranking, or if you want to enter them into multiple Guilds. The ranks can be found in the Character Database.


Ranking Breakdown by Guild
*This is a quick explanation on how to rank up in each guild.

Quests
Pearl, Citrine & Topaz - Lesser Spirits Quests
( at topaz you earn 1 extra day for quests )
Garnet, Moonstone, Amethyst, Opal & Emerald - Titan Quests
at amethyst you earn lucky charm - doubles the % of finding things
at emerald you gain Silversmith )
Sapphire, Ruby, Pyrite & Hematite - Element Gods Quests
( at each, you gain one of the four main elemental mastery - level 1 )
Obsidian - Quest from Tartarus
( all four elemental mastery increase to level two )

*Note: at any time a specific God, Titan or Spirit may be called upon if a character is Questing for a certain item - ie, calling upon the Titan Rhea to Quest for a mutation pear, or the Goddess Gaia for earth mastery. Depending on the Quest, it may or may not count toward your rank. Staff posted Quests also may or may not count toward your rank depending on the Quest being offered.


War
*The War Guild is led by Ares. Staff members will post as Ares in the Battle land with tasks.

Pearl, Citrine, Topaz - these three are gained with a series of defense tactic lessons
( at topaz you gain 1 extra dodge for an entire battle )

Theft
*Hermes is the God overlooking the Guild of Thieves. Staff will post as Hermes on Stealth with tasks.
In stealth, there are no set order of tasks. Tasks range from coin-stealth goals, to stealth-missions, and write ups about different kinds of riddles.


Peace
*Eirene is the Goddess that leads the Peace Guild. Staff will post as Eirene in Caeles with tasks. Like with Stealth, there is no set order for tasks. Tasks will range from going to different Territories to learn about the rulers, surveying different lands, write-ups about different diplomatic situations and more.


Guild Benefits
*As with anything, there are certain benefits or perks to joining the Guilds. For attaining certain ranks characters may gain powers or tokens to use as they wish, such as gaining an extra day for Quests, or a third steal a week.
