Battle it out in Guild Wars to prove your Guild is the strongest & defend your Keep!
Before the War begins.
Guild leaders and 2nd in rank will be able to opt in for the upcoming event, as well as select if they want to remain opted in for all future Guild Wars events till they opt out.
If you opt-in for Guild Wars while one is currently active, you will be in the next Guild Wars event.
3 days before Guild Wars begins, the Keep map can be selected, and then Guild members can set their Defense teams,
If you do not opt into a Guild Wars event, your Guild's total points will decay.
Guild Keep
Each Keep map has unique locations, each with its own restrictions for defending, and there are 6 different Keep maps to chose from!
Above: Blue Keep map without Location icons.
Guild members have until one hour before the event begins, to lock in their defense team or they will not be able to defend a Location, but still can attack.
How to Set a Defense Team
Each Location has 3 Defender slots available. Players can set their team at any location, excluding The Gate. This is defended by a Keep Guardian.
Open your Keep and select the Location you wish to defend. Each Location lists the restriction that will be applied to defense team.
You can only select one location to defend, and this location and team build cannot be changed once the event starts.
If there are no players defending a Location, a Keep Guardian team will fight in their place.
Note: Keep Guardians and their Spell as well as Defense Restrictions for each Keep can be found further in this article.
In the screenshot above, the Gate is defended by a Keep Guardian (shield icon).
At the Thieves' Guild & Shrine, there is 1 player on each location, defending.
All other locations that currently have no players defending, have 1 Keep Guardian defending instead if they remain empty.
Up to 3 Guild members can defend one location. You have till one hour before the first Daily War begins to edit your teams, after this time, your Defense team is locked in!
You can also check any Location to see who is defending it already and the team they have set, or if they have forgotten to set a team!
Guardian Boosts & Blessings
Before the fighting begins, Guild members can purchase Guardian Boosts!
Boosts give Guardian Teams a one-time level-up bonus, for each Boost purchased.
For every 3 Boosts purchased, Guardian Blessings are unlocked and rewarded to Guild Members attacking teams. Giving them bonuses to their Armor, Attack, Life and Magic.
At the end of every Daily War, spent Guardian Boosts are replenished. Whereas at the end of the event weekend, they are reset to zero, ready for the next event where they will need to be purchased again.

The
Daily War has started.
Each day, Guilds will be matched up and players will attack opponent Guild Keeps.
Attacking Guild teams need to meet the Event Restrictions for that weekend. You can update your attacking team as many times as needed. The Attack restriction applies for the whole weekend, against all Guilds you are attacking.
Each day, your Guild will face off against a different Guild.
Players have 5 Guild Wars battles a day, to fight from the Gate and work up to the Palace. With each Location being worth a set amount of points for defeating! Bonuses are given for defeating all Locations and defenders.
Once you have conquered a defending team, you can either complete more battles on the same Location or move up a Tier to a more difficult and more valuable Location!
Above is an example of the path in the Blue Keep.
Once you defeat the Gate, you can move to the Shrine or the Fairy Ring! From there, you select your path to the next Tier.
You cannot move sideways between Tier Locations. For example, you cannot complete a battle at the Barracks and then move to the Eyrie
If you fight a location multiple times, you will also get a prompt to confirm you wish to continue fighting at that location, instead of progressing to the next Tier.
Location Tiers in-game are indicated by their Stars. 1 Star = Tier 1.

If you then later in the same battle make another match of 6, you do not get the bonus points a second time.
If you then made a match of 8 later in the battle, then you will get a bonus of 4 instead of the bonus 3 points from earlier, and not 3+4.

End of War Day.
Each day is its own War against another Guild.
If your Guild wins their War for the day by accumulating more points than the opposing Guild, and you have attacked at least once in this period, you can claim your Daily Rewards.
Everyone in the Guild, who has attacked at least once, will be able to claim these rewards.
If your Guild is tied with the opposing Guild, both Guilds will be able to claim the Daily Rewards.
The more players you have defending your Keep, the bigger these rewards become.
You can check your Guild's progress, battles won/lost, ELO changes and more, in the Daily Wars Result menu. Under the Leaderboard button.
You can check your Guild and your Personal results for each day.
Above is an example of what appears if you access the Guild Leaderboard and press on any of the battles.
Morale Bonus

- Guild Defenders 1-7 are worth 2% Morale Bonus
- So if you have 7 defenders - 7 x 2% = 14% bonus
- Each additional Guild Defender between 8-17 are each worth 6% Morale Bonus
- Each additional Guild Defender between 18-25 are each worth 15% Morale Bonus
- Each additional Guild Defender between 26-27 are each worth 28% Morale Bonus

End of Guild Wars event.
Once a Guild Wars event has ended, the Leaderboards will be updated shortly after the following daily reset. All Guilds will be able to see their updated placement on the updated leaderboard position, including Guilds that did not participate.
2 days after a Guild Wars ends, players will be able to collect their Daily War Rewards for the final day, as well as any uncollected personal Guild War rewards. Once this period ends, any uncollected rewards will be mailed out.
Leaderboard Movement
Each Guild has a Rating, or score, on the leaderboard. This is based on an ELO rating system.
All Guilds are ranked based on their current Rating, from highest to lowest.
Each day, after a Guild War day has ended, every Guild will gain or lose some Rating, based on whether they win, lose, or draw for that day. It does not factor in how much you may win or lose.
These daily wins/losses/draws are added to the Guild total at the end of the Guild Wars event.
If your Guild does not participate in a Guild Wars event, their score will decay by 2 points for each day of the event. E.g. if there is a 4-day Guild Wars event, their score will decay by 8 points.
ELO Scoring calculation
- K-Factor - The degree of movement of scoring
- 24
- Skill-Difference - What do we think is a significant difference in Ration
