kMST ver. 1.2.491 – Guild System Reorganization!


Guild Members
A new patch has been released in Tespia, bringing a renewal of the guild system and a new type of content called Flag Race. I actually like the new guild stuff, it makes it much more practical to use and gives a better sense of community~
In addition, the Family system has been deleted. I don’t think they plan on bringing it back, but really, after the nerfs it was only good for free teleports haha.
Guild Alliance
Guild Rankings and Mark
The guild and alliance UI have been updated! You can even change your guild’s mark through the new UI, without having to go to the Guild Headquarters. At a later date, the guild board will return and guild challenges will be added.
To create a guild, you must now be level 100 and pay 5m mesos instead of being level 10 and paying 100k mesos.
Guild Information
The maximum guild level has been changed. GP is no longer used to determine a guild’s level, it has been changed into a guild’s experience. Existing guilds have been given a certain amount of experience based on their GP.
New types of useable guild points (GP and IGP) have been added. Currently, guild functions have been paid with mesos, but now, in order to add a new guild member, to add a guild mark, or to use a guild skill, you’ll use your GP or IGP.
You can now only gain a maximum of 5000 contribution points per day. 30% of your contributions will be given as GP and 70% will be given as IGP.
Before, you could only gain contributions every hour you were online, levelling up, adding someone to the guild, or levelling up a guild skill. But now, you can gain it by staying online (every hour), by levelling up, by completing quests, giving other users fame, or completing boss raids.
Guild Skills
Guild skills have been completely reorganized! Instead of using mesos to upgrade and activate skills, you now gain 2 Guild SP per guild level which you can distribute to a set of skills. To activate them, you must use your IGP which you gain through various activities.
If a skill does not have a listed duration or cost, then it is passive for all guild members. Skills that require IGP can be activated by anyone but ones that require GP can only be used the guild master.
