**Echoes of Valor's** guild system provides unique earning potential and additional gameplay features to those who band together and pool their efforts.

## Economics

For a specified amount of $GEV, players can create a guild. Guild founders can customize their guild's name, crest, banner, hierarchy type, ranks, and entry fee.

By completing guild-specific weekly quests in the story mode, PVE arena mode, and PVP mode, players earn $GEV for their guild's treasury (in addition to their personal earnings). Treasury funds can be held by the Guildmaster, distributed to holders, or used to purchase weapons, armor, or Guildhall upgrades which provide bonuses to members.

## Social and Competitive

### Competition

Guild leaderboards track guilds that have earned the most $GEV, while internal guild leaderboards show which members have earned the most for their guild. PVP matches between players in guilds will affect the Guild's overall

### Guildhall

When a player joins a Guild in game, a Guildhall location will appear on the world map for travel--selecting it connects the user to an online environment inside a custom Guildhall with their guildmates. The Guildhall can be customized by the Guildmaster with various free customizable options, purchased upgrades, and achievements earned for the Guild by their members.
