Guild

Guilds allow groups of players to unite to form a team. They can pool resources to gain advantages in game play, compete in guild wars, and request ship, drone, and stone cards from others in the guild.

There are currently few public guilds with open spaces. Starting a new one requires 1000 gems.

The main Guild Screen includes options at the bottom to chat within the guild, donate/request cards with other guild members to evolve starships, drones, and gems, pool resources for advantages, compete together in a war, or see your guild's leaderboard status.

The number of guild members depends on the number of guild points collected by members. Initially, a guild is at level 1 with 10 members, with an additional member added with each increase in level. [83200 guild points are required to advance to level 5. Not sure what the other levels require.]

To see a list of current guild members, click on the name of the guild (top left of main Guild page). The guild will have a leader, may have a vice-leader selected by the leaders, elders, and members. You can also leave the guild from this guild member list, by selecting the green "Leave" button on the bottom right.

### Guild Advantages

From the Advantages menu, guild members can contribute gold coins, blue gems, or alliance points to create advantages. For a given advantage type, to achieve the next level requires reaching 100% in all three categories: coins, gems, and alliance points. (As a couple examples, reaching level 1 on Drone Boost requires around 1700 gems, reaching level 1 of Donate Cooldown Reduce request around 1700 guild points, and to get from level 1 to 2 on Starship Boost is around 2200 gems, but it would be good to know exactly what's required. See table below.) There are currently nine categories of advantages, each of which can be raised to level 10, for 90 total advantages possible.

Available advantages include:

##### **Starship Boost:** Increase starship damage.

Starting from Level 0, increasing levels produces a +3%, +6%, +9%, ... increase in starship damage. [does it just continue to increase this way? I'm only at Level 2]

##### **Drone Boost:** Increase drone damage.

Starting from Level 0, increasing levels produces a +3%, ... increase in starship damage. [does it just continue to increase by 3%?]

##### **Boss Cooldown Reduce:** Reduce wait time for Guild Boss.

Cooldown time at Level 0 is 12 hours. Increasing levels reduces the cooldown time to 11h20', ...

#### Upgrade Requirements

Most upgrades are limited by gems rather than coins or guild points. Currently the table lists an estimate for number of gems needed to advance to the next level based on examples of the change from "(initial/final percentage)" when contributing 10 blue gems to estimate how many gems are needed to advance to the next level (xx gems). (e.g. Drone Boost level 0: 10 gems to increase by (15.38 - 14.79)%, so 10/0.59% = approx 1700 gems needed to advance to level 1. These estimates will be better if we determine the change in percentage when contributing a larger number of gems than 10.)

### Guild War

#### Boss Guild

Currently, only Boss Guild is available through the War link on the Guild Screen. In this event, a senior member of the guild (leader or vice-leader) can summon a boss. The boss will then be available for a three-hour window of time, during which any guild member can play three times. For each of these times, the boss can be attacked, with the goal of doing as much damage as possible. If enough damage is done to defeat the boss, a boss at the next higher level will be available to be summoned after the cooldown period.

Rewards are earned for each attack (5000 gold coins, 3 blue gems, and 5 guild points). After the stage is completed, there is a finish reward if a total of 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, 0r 100% damage is inflicted on the boss. In addition, there is a damage ranking reward based on how much damage you inflicted relative to your guild mates; rewards are awarded for rankings of 1, 2, 3, 4-10, and 11 and higher. For a list of rewards, press on the shield icon to the right of the Reset/Play button on the Boss Guild screen.

A default cooldown period of 12 hours is required before the boss can be summoned again. The cooldown period can be decreased, the damage inflicted to the boss increased, and the Boss Guild rewards increased with the Guild Advantages described above.
