Guide author: kitah

Introduction

Players can choose to join an Alliance (Swords of Legends Online’s Guild system) they are interested in and while contributing to the alliance they can also enjoy special benefits. The Alliance interface can be opened via the social interface by pressing H.

Important Notes

  • Alliances are per character, not per account.
  • It costs 10 Gold to make an alliance, and you must be Beginner Level 15.
  • Your Alliance can only have 50 members when you create it, you can expand the amount later on (more details below).
  • Some content is unavailable at launch, this is listed separately.
  • You can disband your Alliance by pressing the End button in the bottom left hand corner. You must of reached 10 members before you can do this.

Alliance Management

Creating

Reach Beginner Level 10 then head to Cloudrise and talk to Zeng An (Alliance Steward) and spend 10 gold coins to create an alliance.

Joining

You can join a guild after you reach beginner level 10. You can do this by filtering the alliances to join by playing preference, or you can search for the alliance you want to join by name. You can change the filter to search for alliances that suit you in the top left corner of the Recommended Alliance interface.

Disbanding

When the number of members in the alliance is less than 10, the alliance will enter a 15-day cooldown to disband. If there are not 10 or more members during this period, the alliance will be disbanded, if your alliance manages to get 10 members or above during this period the disbandment will be suspended and your alliance can continue operating as normal.

Things to note:

  • Once the alliance is disbanded, all items in the alliance’s stash will be lost.
  • After a rank is created, the rank cannot be deleted, and can only be deleted after the Leader of the alliance is transferred.

Alliance Features

Factions

Alliances of different factions can recruit players from different factions. At launch, Alliances will be automatically in the Qin League faction.

After a future update, the alliance leader can talk to Zeng An (Alliance Steward) to switch the alliance factions. Make sure you choose the same personal faction as your Alliance to make the transition into this update easier for you.

  • Alliance of Qin League: You can recruit players from Qin League, Heaven’s Children and the Mysticism factions.
  • Alliance of Heaven’s Children: You can recruit players from Qin League and Heaven’s Children factions.
  • Alliance of the Mysticism: You can recruit players from Qin League and the Mysticism factions.

After a future update, some Alliance Events require the alliance to join a faction to participate.

Levelling up

An alliance’s maximum level is 10 and it requires alliance experience to level up. Alliance members can obtain alliance experience by completing alliance quests (the progress for these quests are refreshed every Thursday at 6 AM server time), you can also gain alliance experience by completing alliance events.

Upgrade time reference:

  • It takes up to two years for a lone wolf player to upgrade an alliance to maximum level from scratch.

Leader Transfer

The Leader of the alliance can transfer the status of leader with the highest rank other than the leader. There is a 3-day transfer period for the transfer during which the transfer can be cancelled.

Leader Impeachment

A leader who has not been online for a long time can lose his authority through the procedure of impeachment.

  • If the Leader does not log in to the game for 30 consecutive days, the impeachment procedure can be initiated by the vice-leader of the alliance. If the leader fails to log in within 7 days of initiating impeachment the vice-leader who chose to impeach will automatically become the leader.
  • If the vice-leader does not start the impeachment procedure within 7 days after entering the impeachment procedure, the impeachment authority will be reduced by one level and the next-level members can also proceed to initiate the impeachment.
  • If no one initiates the impeachment within 7 days and the impeachment authority is already at next-level members, it will continue to be lowered by one level until the member of the lowest rank can impeach the leader.

Alliance Merchant

In Cloudrise, you can visit Zang An, the Alliance Steward to access the Alliance Merchant shop which gives you a wide range of items to purchase. You will need Alliance Prestige to unlock more items in the store, and Alliance Contribution to purchase them.
