Guild Base

Guild Base is some sort of privilege bestowed upon a guild once they defeated a dungeon which has the potential of becoming their territory.

Overview
Some dungeons were usually served as a potential territory of being the home base for guilds through conquering one. In other words, dungeons could be used as guild base and some have various amount of levels embedded into it.

Meanwhile, the guild in particular would also be allow to take command over the NPC customization. However, like funds, not only does the diligence of the guild needs to be accounted for, but also the quality of the dungeon base.

Furthermore, guilds could only own one dungeon at a time and no more than that alone. If they wanted to claim another dungeon, they would first need to relinquish their claim on their present one. Additionally, discovering a dungeon could affect the world ranking of a guild.

Funding
If a guild base’s innate income was not sufficient to cover maintenance costs of the dungeon, the guild members would have to earn that money themselves. In addition to NPCs, trap activation and the like were expensive as well. Being attacked by an enemy guild could incur incalculable expenses for the defenders, and might even force them into bankruptcy. When the life of a Custom NPC is lost due to certain circumstances like during a guild raid, they can be revived through the guild finance. The cost for reviving these fallen NPCs can ranged from expensive to cheap through how high to low their levels are.

NPC Data Storage
The collective maximum level for all Custom NPCs combined is the NPC Data Storage. Higher-risk dungeons gave higher levels if conquered. This maximum can be increased by upgrading to an higher-ranked dungeon, using cash, etc. In YGGDRASIL, there were only nine dungeons in the game which offered more than 3000 levels of NPC Data Storage. A city-based dungeon as the lowest-ranked guild headquarter provides only 700 level to be shared between Custom NPCs. However, it could be funded through tax collecting.

Trivia
