# Guilds

## **Guild Overview**

Players can form Guilds to take part in Guild War for exclusive rewards.

Guild War takes place in a **two part cycle cycle**:

1. Preparation period where Guilds can form and change members.
2. War period where guilds compete.

Players may create guilds in game or use the search function from the Guild area in the Travel map to request to join guilds.

Guilds have a limit of **10 players.** Guild Leaders may accept and also kick players during the preparation period, but members **cannot** be changed during the competition period.

## **Guild Gameplay**

Guild gameplay primarily takes place in the **Guild War** zone.

Players will need to choose 1 tile out of many to fish on in Guild War, and the goal is to catch **Boss Fish.** All other fish will **NOT** affect anything in the Guild zone but can be kept upon being caught. All fish, including Boss Fish, will **NOT** grant leaderboard points.

Guild War Zone Rules:

1. Each Boss Fish caught by a guild member grants the guild **10 Guild Points** ("GP").
2. Additionally, each Boss Fish caught by a guild member grants the catcher **1 Gem (see Guild Rewards below).**
3. Each tile has a capture value which is progressed by catching Boss Fish.
   1. This is shared within a guild, and not between guilds
4. When a guild has captured enough Boss Fish to match the capture value of a tile, they will **capture** the tile and take ownership of it.
   1. Additionally, all other Guilds' capture progress on that tile will be **reset to 0.**
5. Owned tiles will grant **GP over time automatically.**
6. **After capture,** a tile will go into cooldown for a period of time (depending on the tile) and no one may fish on it until the cooldown is over.
   1. After cooldown, any guild may fish on the tile, including the guild that currently owns the tile, and capture it.
7. **After capture,** a tile's capture value requirement will **go up by 1 permanently** until the end of the war, repeating for each time its captured.

In order to assist players with Boss Fish capture, **Guild Baits** have been added to the game:

1. Guild Baits have an independent 50% chance to trigger a Boss Fish sacrifice.
2. Guild Baits only exist in the Guild War zone and cannot be equipped elsewhere.
3. Guild Baits will not be equipped while fishing in other zones, even if equipped for Guild War.
4. **All Guild Baits will expire at the end of the 1-week period.**

There are two methods to acquire Guild Baits:

1. **Guild Chest** contribution. Every 50,000 Gold contributed as a total across all guild members will grant 1 Guild Bait to **all members per day** during the 1-week period.
   1. If more gold is contributed later during a specific day, unlocking more baits, all guild members may claim those extra baits as well.
2. **USDC purchase** from store.

The **Cutting Board** skill will **not** refund Guild Bait.

## **Guild Rewards**

At the end of the 1-week Guild War period, the top 10 guilds by Guild Points will receive **extra Gems based on their rank.** All members will receive the same amount of extra Gems based on the Guild's ranking.

Guild Rewards are processed via the Guild Store through Gems and may change periodically.

These rewards may include:

1. Boat Skins
2. Special Baits
3. Special Chests

All Gems earned through Guild War must be spent during the preparation period, after which they will be **forcibly** **exchanged for Gold** at a ratio of 1 Gem to 2000 Gold.
