Architecture

The guild interface showing current influence and possibilities or spending influence.

Influence is the currency that guilds spend to purchase boons and other guild-wide upgrades. Influence is earned by participating in events, pvp, or solo content while representing a guild. Coin may also be exchanged for influence at the Guild Promoter.

Acquisition

The primary sources of influence are:

• Participation in PvE events or individual storylines.
  • 2 if the event is completed by a single guild member
  • The per-player influence gained increases substantially with each new participating guild member.
• Participation in PvP.

In addition, guilds can also earn influence as follows:

• Each accepted guild invitation: 10
• Each guild member online during an attendance check: 10

Usage

Influence can be spent in the guild panel on the following:
