Before joining any of the three guilds in North Tyris, it is required to embark on a rite of passage. Depending on the guild in question the task assigned varies.
Joining the Fighters' Guild[]
Joining the Fighter's Guild | |
---|---|
![]() | |
To join the Fighters' guild, I have been tasked with killing 3 (monsters) | |
Quest giver | Doria the fighter watchman |
Location | Port Kapul |
Rec. level | None |
Requirements | None |
Task | Kill 3 of the assigned monster |
Reward | Joining the Fighter's Guild |
To receive this quest, talk to Doria the fighter watchman in Port Kapul.
Usually the easiest (depending on the type of monster assigned), by far the simplest of quests. To join the Fighters' Guild one has to kill 3 of a specific monster. This can vary from the common Putit to a slightly rarer monster, but for the first guild quest it won't be anything beyond Danger Level 15 monsters. (changed in Elona+)
Easy Mode[]
If playing in Advancing mode, the player can abuse this quest by savescumming until a common, weak monster is assigned as the quest target (Putits, Yeeks and similar common monsters are possible options). (Vanilla only)
Joining the Thieves' Guild[]
Joining the Thieves' Guild | |
---|---|
![]() | |
To join the Thieves' Guild, I must not pay taxes for 4 months | |
Quest giver | Abyss the thief watchman |
Location | Derphy |
Rec. level | None |
Requirements | None |
Task | Don't pay taxes for 5 ingame months |
Reward | Joining the Thieves' Guild
Karma -60 |
To receive this quest, talk to Abyss the thief watchman in Derphy.
While sounding simple, it is suggested to plan in advance before completing this quest.
The requirement is to wait out 5 months without paying taxes. While ingame it says 4 months, the player is not considered unpaid until a month after the bill comes. (changed in Elona+)
This quest cannot be cheated by taking it before reaching level 6 as it is tied to the number of unpaid bills, not the number of months. Buying bills from Miral the legendary smith does not seem to work either.
Completing the requirements for the quest WILL cost the player -60 Karma, rendering them a criminal and causing Guards to attack on sight and Shopkeepers to refuse doing business with you. There are a few ways to mitigate this, listed under the Karma page.
Easy Mode[]
A quicker way to complete this quest is to buy extremely heavy cargo and walking around the overworld map. The severe speed reduction from the cargo will make days pass quickly, as well as special events like the "Dead Adventurer" which allows to recover Karma. (Elona+) The changed requirement can be instantly met after using any nuclear device to destroy a town.
Joining the Mages' Guild[]
Joining the Mages' Guild | |
---|---|
![]() | |
To join the Mages' Guild, I need to gather 30 guild points. | |
Quest giver | Lexus the guild watchman |
Location | Lumiest |
Rec. level | None |
Requirements | None |
Task | Decode 30 points in ancient books and put them in the guild box |
Reward | Joining the Mages' Guild |
To receive this quest, talk to Lexus the guild watchman in Lumiest.
The requirement for completion is to get 30 points worth of ancient books, read them, and deposit them decoded in the guild box besides the watchman in Lumiest. The higher the rank of the book, the more Literacy is needed to translate it.
Easy Mode[]
(Elona+) You can worship Yacatect of Wealth to greatly increase the chances of getting ancient books from kills. (Elona+) Trap-disarming quests now provide ancient books as rewards.
