Guilds are the biggest new system in Update 2 (October 8, 2026) — a full club layer on top of runs: create or join a guild, chat across servers, pool coins in a shared bank, and climb weekly rankings for server-wide buffs. Everything below is from the official Shadow Monarch patch notes; where a number has not been published we say so.
Creating or joining a guild
- Creating a guild costs 200,000 coins and lets you set the name, [TAG], colour, emblem and banner — 57 emblems and 6 banners at launch, with more unlocking as your guild levels up.
- Join rules are yours to pick: open, request-to-join, or invite only, with an optional minimum level gate.
- Custom roles work like Discord’s: pick who can invite, accept requests, kick, manage roles, edit settings, spend the bank or read the log.
Guild chat, tags and teleports
- Guild chat works across servers — your guildmates see it from any lobby.
- Your [TAG] shows in chat and over your head.
- You can teleport straight to any guildmate in another lobby — the fastest way to group up for runs or raids.
The guild bank
Everyone can donate coins to the guild bank, and the guild spends them on:
- More member slots — from 6 up to 20.
- Extra role slots.
Guild levels and perks
- Guilds level from 1 to 50 by playing runs together.
- Raids give the most guild XP — 120 per win, doubled on Nightmare.
- Finishing a run with a guildmate pays +10% guild XP.
- Level perks apply to every member, up to +10% coins, +10% XP and +10% drops at the top end.
Guild quests, tokens and the token shop
- Three guild quests every week; each one pays 60 guild tokens to everyone who played.
- You earn guild tokens just by playing, then spend them in the guild shop on lucky spins, gems, coins and trait crystals.
Weekly rankings and buffs
Weekly guild rankings reward the top 10 with tokens — 1,000 for #1 — plus buffs for the whole following week:
- #1 guild: +15% coins, +15% XP, +10% drops for every member.
- The lobby board tracks this week, all time, richest bank, most kills and most damage.
How guilds change your grind
- The party bonus stacks with guild play: +5% per friend or guildmate in your run, up to 15%.
- Raid nights are the guild engine — Shadow Gate’s 120-per-win guild XP (x2 on Nightmare) levels a guild faster than any other activity, and the raid guide shows what a clear pays on top.
- Token-shop trait crystals feed straight into the trait reroll loop, so an active guild quietly subsidises your min-maxing.
Quick guild FAQ
- Is there a level requirement to create a guild? None published — only the 200,000-coin price.
- Do guild perks stack with everything? The published caps are the +10% member perks and the #1-guild weekly buff; nothing else has been announced.
- Can I be in two guilds? Not addressed in the patch notes — assume one guild per character until confirmed.
