In Wind Slayer, there is a team system where players can organize themselves to better interact and help each other. Each team is called a guild, and guilds can participate in guild battles against other guilds.

To start a guild, one player must pay 50,000 gold to ??. If you have a group of people already wanting to band together, you can pool your gold to the elected creator.

Each guild can hold 15,20,30,??, or 50 players depending on what level the guild is and whether or not you bought the increased capacity upgrade (located in the guildhall).

[edit] High Rank(s)

Master-leader of the guild-the person who had to pay for the guild-can start guild battles

• Guardian: the highest rank other than master. Only 3 guardians allowed, and they can start guild battles.
• Vanguard-the 2nd highest rank other than master. Only 10 vanguards allowed, and they can start guild battles.
• Soldier: the 3rd rank down.
• Trainee: the 4th rank down. This is what you start at when you join a guild.
