¶ What are Guilds?
Guilds are the basis of ranking up on Vestria. The Guild you choose directly impacts how you will progress through ranks on the Vestria server. Each Guild has unique rank up requirements and access to different Jobs and server features.
¶ Guilds
Guilds have gotten an overhaul! We have introduced the concept of specializations as well as a new completely custom plugin to facilitate these changes. Below is a complete list of all of the Guilds and their Specializations.
Not every Guild has a specialization, and this is intentional. Only Guilds that have a clear divide in play-style and enough content to stand-alone received specializations. However, more may be added in the future!
¶ Guilds Plugin
This overhaul comes with the introduction of a brand new and completely custom Guilds plugin. This plugin contains an intuitive and interactive GUI. There are several key commands to know:
/guilds This command is used to join and leave Guilds
/ranks This command is used to display your current ranks and access your rank-up menu.
¶ Rankups have changed!
All rankups are now handled through the Guilds plugin! Simply click the rank you wish to progress in to display the rankup menu. From there, you will have the option to submit the pieces of your rankup individually. This will automatically submit a ticket to staff and you no longer need to manually submit your tickets for rankups
From there, staff members will check your rankup requirements and either approve or deny your requirement. If you are approved, you will see this change reflected in your /ranks GUI menu for the rank you are attempting to progress in.
Once you have had all of the individual pieces of your rankup checked, you can rank yourself up and send a broadcast!
¶ Specializations
What is a Specialization?
Specializations are subsets or tracks that offer a different play option. Specializations are designed with players' different play styles in mind and offer unique content.
All players begin in their base Guild and gain the option to specialize after reaching Journeyman Rank. Specializing unlocks much greater rewards. Once players reach the Journeyman rank, they can choose to both join another guild and specialize in their current one.
¶ Unlocking Ranks
One critical change that we have implemented is that when you achieve a rank, you will be unlocking that level. Players will retain all ranks that they have unlocked--even if they leave a guild. This means that you will retain any ranks you have unlocked--even if you leave a guild. If you choose to leave a guild, you won't be able to use the rewards associated until you rejoin the guild.

Blacksmith guild is responsible for supplying much needed tools, armor, and weapons to the server community. Blacksmiths have the ability to deconstruct and craft all of the custom Common, Rare, Legendary, and Vestrian armor, weapon, and tool sets on Vestria through our custom items plugin. Blacksmiths can also upgrade dusts using a Waxed Copper Block. As Blacksmiths progress in the guild, their craftsmanship improves and they are able to construct higher-tiered goods. A Blacksmith's forged items are oftentimes stronger and more durable than those obtained otherwise.

As Mages progress through this specialization, they unlock the ability to infuse higher tiers of custom items with augment at their guild warp. Augments can be used to add permanent potion effects to armor and other powerful effects like auto-smelt, life steal, and more!
¶ Scavenger
Scavenger guild is host to an array of collectors and warriors that brave unique and challenging dungeons in their quest for loot. Hostile mobs on Vestria can drop Common, Rare, Legendary, and Vestrian items and crafting components. Scavengers have access to guild-specific dungeons that have higher custom item drop rates than the Towny worlds and public dungeons. Scavengers also have access to exclusive Dungeon Bosses in each of their dungeons that have a guaranteed chance to drop a custom item. As Scavengers progress in their guild, they will unlock higher tiers of these dungeons and bosses that are more challenging and have higher drop chances.
Scavengers also have access to Vestria's exclusive scavenge system. Scavengers are able to recycle custom items and cores and scavenge 4 of a given tier to receive a random roll for a higher tier. As they progress through their guild, they will be able to scavenge higher tier cores and items and require an increasing number of unique lore items and custom item drops, boss lore items, mob heads, and guild-specific builds.
Scavengers are able to access their exclusive dungeons at /warp scavengerhub
