Guilds

Guilds are essential to conducting your spell research early in the game. Try to maintain more than 1000 guilds during this period.

Guilds provide the same population space as wilderness, namely 10. Guilds also generate magical items at random.

Skill acquisition

On the Guild Server, guilds seem to provide a bonus to the rate at which players gain skill ranks. This bonus provided by guild buildings seems to cap when a player has 5% of his land size as guilds.
