Guild Mounts

Last Edited on : Jan 16, 2024, 14:02 (UTC)

Guild mounts are not owned by an individual, but a guild. As such, anyone that is a member of the guild can use them if their guild has obtained them. In this way, they are made useful to many Adventurers instead of just one.

 

Like all mounts, guild mounts are divided into land and sea mounts. The land guild mounts are elephants, which play an important role in Node War and Conquest War when destroying barricades and defensive structures, while the sea one is the galley, useful when needing to transport a large number of guild members across the sea.

 

 

Above you can see the Cadria elephant, the land guild mount a guild can obtain.

 


Obtaining Elephants

To get land guild mounts you must either complete a special quest if you have an old Valencian Elephant registration emblem, or win the bid to the ownership of a guild house auction to get access to its facilities, and have the appropriate guild skills.
 
 
◈ Getting an Elephant: Guild House

A guild needs to get a guild house through an auction and open an elephant nursery. You’ll need the guild skill Monstrous Force to open the nursery. The guild house auctions in the territory of Valencia are held at the capital city of Valencia and in Sand Grain Bazaar.

 

 

The guild master needs to open the elephant nursery in the guild house to raise the elephant.
Guild members can send their workers to the guild house to help raise it.

 

Guild House Auction

 

1. The auction starts every other Friday at 6:00 PM and finishes after 24 hours.

 

2. Only guild masters can bid in the auction. They can place bids through the guild managers in the towns of Olvia, Velia, Heidel, Calpheon, Altinova, Sand Grain Bazaar, and Valencia.

 

3. The starting price is set at the price the previous owner won their bids with. If no one bids on a guild house, then its starting price is decreased by 50%. You need to collect your previous bid before placing a new bid.

 

4. You can bid up to 3 times. You cannot bid on multiple guild houses during an auction. Therefore, you can bid 2 more times on the guild house you placed your first bid on.

 

5. This is a blind auction. You cannot know who or how much the other people participating bid for the house. A system message will tell you if you won the bid or not.

 

6. Mail is sent to the guild master that won the bid. The maintenance fee for the guild is 5% of the winning bid, and is paid at midnight every day using guild funds.

 

7. The auction is extended by 1 minute every time someone places a bid within 2 minutes or less before the auction ends. Additionally, the auction will get extended by 24 hours if there are guild houses that no one bid on. You can use your guild house until the start of the next guild house auction.

 

 

Guild house auctions tend to be nerve-wracking due to being blind auctions.

 

Once you’ve obtained a guild house with a nursery, first you will need to tame a baby elephant and raise it. Baby elephants can be found on the plains and wild regions of Valencia.

 

You tame baby elephants the same way you tame horses.
Use a rope, then toss it towards the elephant and tie it. After this, use the direction keys to move towards it. Remember to continuously hit the spacebar to calm the baby elephant if it raises its front legs.

 

Once you reach the baby elephant, open your inventory and feed it [Guild] Desert Peanut until it‘s satisfied. You can purchase the peanuts through the Guild Stable Keeper NPC using your guild funds. You will successfully tame the baby elephant as long as the baby elephant doesn’t kick you and runs away.

 

The baby elephant will follow you if you have successfully tamed it. Bring it to the Guild Stable Keeper NPC and click on the Register button.
The baby elephant will be exchanged for an item used for guild crafting. Said item will appear inside your inventory.

 

 

The baby elephant will try to resist you by doing wild movements, so do your best to tame it.

 

Now you can place the baby elephant in your guild storage and send workers to raise it.
Please note that you cannot raise the tamed baby elephant before you register it.

 

The rest of the materials required can be bought from the guild shop.
You can craft the elephant using a processing option called Guild Processing (hotkey: L). It can only be done within the guild house. Read the Crafting Notes (hotkey: F1 or F2, then press Crafting Notes in the top right) for more details.


Materials required to make the Cadria Elephant

[Guild] Clearance Permit x450
[Guild] Baby Elephant x1
[Guild] Cadria Elephant Drinking Water x480
[Guild] Cadria Elephant Food x960
[Guild] Restored Cadry’s Forbidden Book x700
[Guild] Old Moon Magic Neutralizer x700

 

 

You can watch the elephant actually grow in size in real time.

 

 

Some of the materials needed can only be made in the guild house through the processing option Guild Processing.

 

The clearance permits are obtained when giving clearance requests to a Guild Manager NPC.
The clearance requests are crafted via the Guild Processing function (hotkey: L). The materials required for the clearance requests can also be crafted via the Guild Processing function.

 

The fully grown elephant will be placed in the guild storage as a mount registration emblem.
Take it to the Guild Stable Keeper NPC and register it to complete the procedure. The elephant can make a big impact on the battlefield!

 

It isn’t cheap to raise a Cadria elephant. However, it is fast, has quite a bit of HP, and good acceleration, handling, brakes, and physical abilities. It also comes with 5 skills that are useful on the battlefield.

 

 

Even the appearance of the Cadria elephant is intimidating!


Important!
In the case your guild has a [Guild] Registration: Valencia Elephant lying around, Yan in Valencia City offers a quest to obtain a Cadria Elephant.

Obtaining a Galley

A galley is relatively less complicated to craft than obtaining elephants.
 

 

Like for those, there are two methods to obtain a guild galley.

 

 

◈ Getting a Guild Galley I: Completing Quests


One option is to start the quest [Guild] I Have a Dream that only the guild master can access and complete. If you are the guild master, you can find the quest by opening the Quest window (hotkey: O), and going to the Suggested tab where you will see it listed.

 

This quest will ask you to give NPC Yan x150 [Guild] Old Moon Combat Seal and x150 [Guild] Old Moon Life Seal, the same items needed for the elephant quests, and will directly reward you with a [Guild] Ship License: Galley mount emblem.

 

 

It is important to note that a guild can have up to 3 guild galleys, but a guild master cannot do this quest more than once. To obtain the other 2 possible guild galleys, a single guild master will need to craft them.

 

Once you’ve obtained the ship license for the galley, you can go to any Guild Wharf Manager NPC to register it as a mount. Both the guild master and the guild officers can take the galley in and out of the wharf.

 

 

◈ Getting a Guild Galley II: Guild House


The other option requires a guild to get a guild house through an auction and open a shipyard. You’ll need the guild skill Building Boat to open the shipyard. The guild house you will need to win the auction for to get access to a shipyard is in the territories of Balenos, Calpheon, and Mediah.

 

 

The guild master needs to open the shipyard in the guild house to enable the crafting of the galley.
Guild members can send their workers to the guild house to help build it.


Materials required to make the Guild Galley

[Guild] Clearance Permit x300
[Guild] Galley Plan x25
[Guild] Iron Core Timber Square x800
[Guild] Desert Alloy Ingot x600
[Guild] Spirit-laden Plywood x1500
[Guild] Wind-laden Flax Cloth x160

 

Out of these materials, the galley plans require guild members to raise amity with Philaberto Falasi in Port Epheria and purchase it from him.

 

 

 

 ➤ You can read more about this topic in the [Amity] page.

 

The clearance permits are obtained when giving clearance requests to a Guild Manager NPC.
The clearance requests are crafted via the Guild Processing function (hotkey: L). The materials required for the clearance requests can also be crafted via the Guild Processing function.

 

All the other materials can be either crafted by guild members or purchased from a Guild Wharf Manager NPC.

 

Finally, once all materials have been gathered, deposit them in the guild storage. Now you can craft the guild galley.

 


◈ Upgrading the Guild Galley


This upgraded vessel enhances your guild's naval prowess with improved overall performance and a new rowing minigame for faster sailing. To upgrade, you can use existing materials that can be purchased with guild funds at the guild shop.

Using Guild Mounts

Making a guild mount is a difficult process.
Guild Mounts are made with the sacrifice and support of your guild members.

 

The elephants can be used to help your guild achieve victory in Node and Siege War. Especially on the offensive, they are very effective in destroying barricades and defensive structures, and can block the access point of enemies if they have the skill Fore Chop.​

 

As for guild galleys, they serve as group transport ​​​​​​at sea for your guild’s activities, such as going to hunt sea monsters or challenge Khan, Eye of the Great Ocean.
