Guild Updates in Cataclysm
By flisk | July 21, 2010
This is what I’ve been waiting for; Guild Achievements, Guild Level ups, and new Guild Tools! (most of this was obtained from wowhead.com )
Guild Achievements:
Guild achievements are of two basic types – raid achievements and general achievements. Some of the current achievements will become guild achievements. A few example achievements were shown at BlizzCon, including:
We are Legendary: Complete 10 Legendary items.
United Nations: Become Exalted with all Northrend factions.
Working as a Team: Become a Grand Master in all professions.
Insider Trading: Trade 100,000 craftable items among guild members.
Raid achievements are more or less identical to the players’ raid achievements, the only difference in the scale – you need at least 75% of the raid to be from the same guild in order for the guild to earn a specific raid achievement.
Guild Experience & Leveling
Your guild is now able to level up with you! Similarly to players’ leveling, your guild gains levels – starting at 1, going to maximum of 20 – based on experience it earns through its members. Most of the semi-significant actions performed by players within a guild will award guild experience – earning achievements, maxing out a profession, winning an arena match or a rated battleground, and a few more. To balance small and big guilds, only the top 20 “contributors” in each guild will attribute their experiences to the guild level every day.
Guild Perks
Originally introduced as guild talents, these were originally announced during BlizzCon 2009 but have been scrapped in favour of an easier to understand “perks” system where you will gain a new perk every guild level.
Here is a list of all the “perks” currently available, along with their guild levels required:
Level 1: Fast Track: Experience gained from killing monsters and completing quests increased by 5%.
