Hylterium guilds: core, levels, driller and foundry

Start a guild

1. Join a guild or create your own; everything is managed from the /guilde menu (or /g).
2. Craft a guild workbench at the regular workbench: it builds every guild facility.
3. Place the guild core in one of your claims: level, quests, contracts, rewards and treasury are all managed there.
4. Put Hyltcoins in the shared treasury: it pays for levels, the guild shop and the driller.

Territory

• Claims protect your chunks against griefing; their number grows with the guild's level.
• Ranks decide who can place or break chests, open the core, set the main home or handle tamed animals, allies included.
• Build inside your claims: in the kingdom world, unclaimed chunks regenerate automatically.
• A guild inactive for 2 months is deleted: its land stays open to looting for 15 days, then regenerates.

Chests and portals

• Royal chest: as many as you like, with storage that grows with levels and a log per chest.
• Blue portal: members only, it links your portals together; /gh takes you to the main home.
• Orange portal: the public entrance, open to allies or the whole server, for a market or a town.

Level up the guild

Each level asks for four things, and the level-up is automatic once they are met:

• guild experience, mostly from guild quests;
• Hyltcoins in the treasury;
• taking part in contracts;
• higher up, wins at guild events.

Each tier brings more members, claims, storage, portals and new facilities.

The driller, the guild event

• Launched with the treasury, it announces its world, zone and coordinates to the server.
• For 30 minutes it extracts ores and blocks, against waves of golems: guardian, breaker, earth-thrower and shaman, who heals the others and goes down first.
• Repair it with the driller hammer (two repairers at a time) and refuel it with Hylterium powder, or extraction stops.
• Loot split: 60% for the guild that launched it, the rest by contribution (damage, repairs, fuel). A destroyed machine only returns a small part.
• Hostile zones hide the best ores, up to adamantite.
• A successful driller counts as a win for every guild that took part; a failed one, as a participation.

The production chain

1. The foundry smelts Hylterium ore into ingots, even while you are away. The ore needed per ingot follows the ingot's price on the stock exchange, recalculated daily.
2. Ingots sell on the stock exchange, or go into the crusher, which grinds them into Hylterium powder.
3. The powder is the driller's only fuel, and its resources feed the contracts.

With levels, the foundry smelts several ingots at once, faster, and some tiers unlock a second one.

The guild shop

The treasury buys guild XP boosts, reputation and profession XP bonuses for every member, a faster foundry, revive tokens, portal unlocks and driller launches. It can also offer an event to the whole server: flying merchant, world boss, piñata, vegetable race or treasure hunt.

Level 25 and prestige

At level 25, everything is unlocked. The leader can then start a prestige from the core: the guild goes back to level 1 but keeps its member, claim and chest capacities. There are ten prestiges, each harder than the last.
