Guild Wars can only happen between guilds that are set as a Battle/War Guild on the same server.
In order to change the status of your guild, the Guild Master and Guild Managers can visit the Guild Manager and request to change the Guild's tendency from a General Guild to a Battle Guild and vis versa for a fee.
->
Once a Guild is set as a Battle Guild, they are able to declare "War" on another Guild who has Battle Guild Status.
When declaring war, you need to select the [Declaration of War] button from the Guild War menu and then type out the name of the Guild (case sensitive) and set the duration that you wish to be at war with. Durations can be set to 1 hour, 1 day, 7 days, 30 days, or 365 days. Once a declaration is made, a Guild has 24 hours to accept or deny the declaration, if no decision is made within the 24 hours, the Guild War will start automatically.
To accept a Guild War declaration, Guild Masters or Guild Managers can select the declaraction from the list in the Guild War menu (accessable from the Guild UI Window) and then choose to either [Accept Declaration] or [Reject Declaration].
Once a War is started, all members of an opposing Guild will appear to have red names and can be targeted and killed on site in an open PvP environment over all maps, so there is no where to hide. Members from opposing Guilds are unable to join parties together until the war is over.
To end a war, either guild can choose to [Abandon War] and the other guild can choose to [Accept Abandonment] or [Reject Abandonment].
Points are gained in Guild Wars based on individual kills from the entire guild and the points accumulated can be spent on Guild Rewards such as:
Exp +10%
Lant Drop +10%
Item Drop +10%
Death Penalty Protection: 20%
(more coming soon)
*These items are not mailed out and the status will apply to all members of the guild for 15 days.
To get your Guild War Reward items, a Guild Master or Manager can choose the reward through the [Select this week's reward] button on the Guild UI Window, you then select your reward and choose [Setting Complete].
To view the current active rewards, select the [Show applied reward] button from the Guild War Reward window.
