What are they? Guild Status Points(GSP) are simply reward points. Certain NPC(Non Player Character, Game Controlled) guilds award them for tasks or items. Heritage quests(Items originally found in EQ1) also award a large number of points. You must be in a guild to earn these points. You can view the amount of status you’ve earned on the Persona Page, Status tab.

What are they good for? GSP can be useful personally and for the guild. Personally, you can use them to make certain things available such as upgraded housing. As you and your guildmates earn GSP, your guild also gains in level. As the guild gains in level, it gets additional benefits. The guild bank grows in size, and items become available to guild members, like furniture or certain crafting items. At guild level 20 for example reasonably priced horses become available. You can view what level your guild is by opening up the Guild Control Panel(Default Hotkey is U).

How do I earn them? By far the easiest way to earn GSP is via loot drops. Through your normal battles, you’re going to kill something that will drop items that are sought by NPC Guilds in your home city. As you progress into more and more difficult areas, the reward for these loot drops improves. The level of the Mob(Mobile OBjects = Monsters) that you killed will signify the value in GSP of a particular loot drop.

Mob Level 10 Through 19, drop items worth 100GSP usually found in Tier 2 Zones
Mob Level 20 Through 29, drop items worth 200GSP usually found in Tier 3 Zones
Mob Level 30 Through 39, drop items worth 300GSP usually found in Tier 4 Zones
Mob Level 40 Through 49, drop items worth 400GSP usually found in Tier 5 Zones
Mob Level 50 Through 60, drop items worth 500GSP usually found in Tier 6 Zones

Tier 2 Zones include Commonlands and Antonica. Tier 3 Zones include Thundering Steppes, Nektulos Forest. Tier 4 Zones include Enchanted Lands, Zek. Tier 5 Zones include Rivervale, Feerrot, Permafrost. Tier 6 Zones are available in the Desert of Flames expansion. The level of the mob is what matters, some mobs are in zones above or below what their level would generally indicate.

The description on the loot items look something like this “A (Document, Relic, Stone, Amulet) made of (Iron, Ruby, Ebon, etc) that looks to have ancient runes inscribed upon the side. A powerful guild of (Fighters, Mages, Priests, Scouts) might know what to do with this.”

There are 4 NPC guilds looking for these items. Fighters, Mages, Priests, Scouts. When you obtain these loot items, you can then turn them into the appropriate NPC merchant and be awarded Guild Status Points. See the chart below for locations.

You can also earn GSP by taking City Tasks or “Writs”. These city tasks are assigned by the same NPCs that will “buy” GSP loot drops. In all other ways, they are simply quests, just listed under the heading “city tasks”. These writs are usually Kill “X” number of a certain type of mob. When you accomplish the goal, a message will be broadcast to your guild “Malbor has completed the Writ ‘Slay 21 fluffy bunnies’ earning status for the guild. You only need to return to the NPC that assigned you the writ to obtain the next Writ. It is important to start doing writs as early as you can. At the low levels, writs are very easy to accomplish. At level 35+ they become much more difficult. Remember it says City Task in your Journal, but becomes a Writ for the guild when completed.

Faction. Be aware that the NPC guilds are in competition. Completing a writ for one guild reduces your faction in the opposing three. For example, suppose I do a writ for The Freeport Militia. I gain faction from them, but loose faction to Dismal Rage, The Arcane Scientist and The Seafury Buccaneers. Fortunately, the gain in faction easily outpaces the faction loses so as long as you don’t exclusively do tasks from the same guild, you won’t have any faction issue.

Finally, you can earn GSP for completing Heritage Quests. These quests are very lengthy, often require 2x raids to complete certain portions and reward you with a very nice item. The Heritage aspect is that the item was originally in Everquest 1, like Ghoulbane, The Screaming Mace or the Bag of the Sewn Evil Eye. When you complete these quests, you are awarded significant guild status points. Heritage Quests are found all over the land from NPCs that start them to item drops that begin the quest.

Where do I sell items for Guild Status Points and where do I get City Tasks? See the Chart below. Depending on your level, you’ll visit the NPCs listed below to get your city tasks or sell your GSP Loot items. You may only sell the items listed below to the vendor listed below for GSP. If it doesn’t show as GSP in green, you’re getting coin and no status. To get City Tasks, visit the level appropriate vendor. For example, if you are level 41, in Freeport, you would visit Corsair G’Kex at the Seafury Buccaneers(boat on the water) SouthFreeport to get your level appropriate City Task/Writ from the Scout’s guild.

You don’t have to accept the first quest they give you, nor do you incur a penalty for deleting the city task and getting a new one. If you’re having trouble finishing one, delete it, and get a different one. Some are much more difficult than others.

Good luck leveling your guild!
