What are the Guilds in Path of Exile 2?

The Guilds in this game represent every aspect of the social center where the gamers are going to come, share various means, and handle all complications in a team. Similarly, with several functional extensions to guilds in particular to Path of Exile 2, communities also feature guild hideout customization, shared stashes, and many ways to structure and arrange events as groups.

How to Build a Guild

Setting up a guild in Path of Exile 2 involves a few very straightforward steps. While the specifics are a little different than in Path of Exile 1, the actual core mechanics are as straightforward as ever:

1. Opening the Guild Interface

• Open the in-game social screen with the default key 'J'. This section contains options like friends, trade interaction, and management of guilds.
• Select the “Guild” option.

2. Naming Your Guild

• Choose a unique name for your guild. Guild names are permanent, so choose one that best represents your group.
• Naming might be restricted to avoid duplicates and offensive language.

3. Customizing Your Guild

• Guild Hideout: These are customizable areas that work as a sort of shared headquarters for the members. You are able to decorate them using either hideout decorations or microtransactions.
• Shared Guild Stash: A communal stash that allows all members to deposit and withdraw items. It can be organized into tabs for crafting materials, gear, and maps. Guild leaders can configure permissions to control access to specific tabs, ensuring high-value items are managed securely. Additional tabs can be purchased to expand the stash as the guild grows.

Joining a Guild

If you would rather join an existing guild than create your own, the process is quite easy. Here's how:

1. Finding and Joining Guilds

• Receive an Invite: Guild leaders or officers may directly invite you. If some person invites you, then in your social menu, that notification will appear, and after accepting, you are a member of that guild instantly.
• Search for Guilds on the Official Path of Exile Forums: Most guilds advertise their recruitments via threads in the Guild Recruitment section of the official Path of Exile forums. They often have all the relevant information, such as a guild language, region, and objectives - generally mapping, boss farming, and crafting requirements. You can go through these threads to find the one that fits your goal and gameplay.

2. Sending a Join Request

When you finally find a guild that interests you, through the official Path of Exile forums or otherwise, they usually provide some contacts to communicate with to join.

3. Accepting an Invitation

When invited to join in Guild, the invite will be in your notifications. Go ahead and accept the invite to join.
