Although the guildmaster or guildmistress, any of its Elders and those designated tutor rank can enroll you in his or her guild, it is often not possible or convenient to find or meet up with one of these illustrious folk. Hence one of the NPC or CCC guild tutors will have to do.
You can join a guild yourself (or at least get further info about it) by making contact with an NPC or CCC tutor. These guild stalwarts reside in their respective guildhouses. All you need to do is travel to the appropriate guildhouse, knock on the door and greet the NPC or CCC tutor once he/she comes out. Thereafter you will be offered information or membership and you will be able to make your choice.
Syntax: GUILDS.
Lists all the active guilds across all major cities. The list includes the name of the guildmaster/guildmistress (and longevity of tenture), the patron deity and which city the guildhouse is within.
Syntax: RECRUITMENT.
Shows you the list of active guilds with open recruitment, i..e. those welcoming apprentices who knock on the door of the guildhouse.
Syntax: APPLY <guild>.
Type APPLY followed by the name of the guild you favour for your apprenticeship. This will summon an escort to guide you directly to the entrance door of the chosen guildhouse and will alert active tutors and guild elders of your intention at the same time.
Syntax: KNOCK.
Standing at the entrance door of the guild you wish to join as an apprentice, type KNOCK and you will be heard within straight away. The knocking will bring out one of the guild's NPC/CCC tutors who can then be greeted (showing respect) to set in motion the joining process. Instructions will be given you by the tutor.
