Guilds

There are nine **guilds** in Poppy Seed Pets, featured in the Hall of Nine.

Pets in a **guild** may sometimes perform guild-related activities. Some **guild** activities are generic, while others may be specific to the pet's **guild** and/or rank within the **guild**.

## Joining Guilds

If a pet has the Protocol 7 or Natural Channel merit and isn't yet guilded, there is a chance that they will join a **guild** during their hourly activities. (Pets without Protocol 7 must have access to the Library of Fire to join a guild with Natural Channel, because they must enter the Library of Fire to do so.)

A pet's choice of **guild** is influenced by their skills and personalities, but there is a moderate amount of randomness during **guild** selection, so a highly-focused pet may still join a **guild** that may not seem to fit their skills.

A pet may join a new **guild** in a few ways:

* Chatting with a senior member in the Library of Fire in the Umbra
* Chatting with a senior member in the Hall of Nine in Project-E
* Using a self-reflection point to change membership

Some guilds are only naturally accessible in Project-E, while some others are only naturally accessible in the Umbra. A few guilds may be joined naturally from either location.

\* In the past, only pets with Protocol 7 could join **guilds**; the distinction between locations was only implemented later, when the ability to join **guilds** with Natural Channel was added. Therefore, it is possible to have an old pet that naturally joined a **guild** that is no longer naturally accessible, e.g. a Protocol 7 pet that joined **Gizubi's Garden** prior to the update.

## Reputation

Pets receive **reputation** in addition to +XP for most guild activities. Gathering enough reputation can eventually cause a pet's **rank** to rise.

Pets in **guilds** will have **titles** appropriate to their rank within the **guild**. New members start with a beginner's title and work their way up as they earn reputation. There are 10 ranks within each title, after which a promotion in rank will reward the pet with the next title.

Different tiers of titles may have different names within each **guild**. Each guild has a junior, member, senior, and master tier.

A pet's title can affect the types of guild activities that they are allowed to perform.
