A guild is one of the most important features in RF Online Next, giving you access to group content, shared resources, and powerful rewards that solo players simply can't reach. This guide walks you through how to create a guild, set up membership rules, manage guild costs, and make the most of the benefits that come with growing your roster.
How to Create a Guild in RF Online Next
Creating a guild is simple and doesn't require any special items or qualifications — just open the Guilds menu and follow the steps below.
- 1 Open the Guilds menu and select the option to create a new guild. It costs 200,000 Credit to create one.
- 2 Choose a guild name that doesn't overlap with any existing guild name on your server.
- 3 Write a short guild introduction (up to 20 characters). Since this is visible to players who haven't joined yet, it's a good idea to list basic rules here, such as inactivity limits or mandatory Discord membership.
- 4 Confirm the details and finalize creation. Your guild is now active and ready for members.
Note: If you want to change your guild name later, it will cost 3,000 Diamonds. Choose your name carefully from the start to avoid this fee.
Setting Membership Conditions
Once your guild is created, you can decide how new members are allowed to join. Go to the Manage Membership screen to configure this setting.
- Instant Join Anyone can join your guild immediately without approval. Best for open, growth-focused guilds.
- Ask to Join Players must send a request, and the guild master or officers must approve it. Good for guilds with friends-only or selective recruitment.
- Disable Joining No one can join your guild. Ideal for solo players who still want access to basic guild features.
Tip: You can change this setting at any time. For example, start with Instant Join to build numbers quickly, then switch to Ask to Join once you've reached your target member count.
The Manage Membership screen is also where you'll find pending join requests. Keep in mind that you can only hold a maximum of 100 pending applications at a time, so be sure to review and respond to them regularly.
Inviting Specific Players
If you want a particular player to join, use the Invite Guild Members option, enter their character name, and send the invitation. This works well for recruiting friends or players you've already coordinated with.
Disbanding a guild: If you disband your guild, all guild data is permanently deleted, and you won't be able to create a new guild or join another one for 24 hours. Make sure this is really what you want before confirming.
Costs of Running a Guild
Running a guild in RF Online Next is mostly free, but a few situations can require spending Diamonds or guild resources.
- Guild Name Change Costs 3,000 Diamonds. There's no cost if you never change your guild's name.
- Mining War Mercenaries If your guild becomes the representative faction in the Mining War, you'll need to hire mercenaries using Diamonds from the guild treasury to help secure victory.
- Resource Shortages If guild donations of materials like Alberium ore fall short, members may need to gather extra resources at their own expense to maintain access to content like Alvern Fortress or guild skill purchases.
Are Diamonds necessary to run a guild? No — a guild can function perfectly fine without spending Diamonds. They're only needed for optional situations like renaming your guild or funding Mining War mercenary rewards.
Benefits of Growing Your Guild
While a one-person guild still provides some perks, recruiting active members unlocks significantly more value for everyone involved.
Bigger Login Rewards
The more members who log in the previous day, the more guild coins and guild funds your guild earns. Guild coins can be exchanged for skills and items, while guild funds power buffs and unlock additional content.
Faster Skill and Guild Level Progress
Guild funds earned from logins, donations, and mission completions can be spent on guild research, making it easier to upgrade buffs and guild skills. A higher guild level also unlocks more items in the guild shop.
Tip: Some content in RF Online Next has minimum guild level requirements, so leveling up your guild opens doors to additional activities.
Access to Guild and GvG Content
Larger guilds can take part in exclusive guild content and Guild vs. Guild (GvG) battles, including guild raids and expeditions where powerful equipment and skills are up for grabs.
Tip: More guild content, such as the Mining War and Alvern Fortress, continues to be added to RF Online Next, making active guild membership increasingly valuable.
Easier Boss Fights and Better Loot
Guild members can form raid teams to take on field bosses, dungeon bosses, and large-scale PvP fights together. Fighting as a group makes bosses easier to defeat and speeds up memory chip collection.
Guild Auctions and Diamond Income
Loot collected by guild members can be sold through guild auctions, often letting you pick up equipment and skills for less than market price. Diamonds spent on auction bids go into the guild treasury, and the guild master can distribute them to members.
Overall, joining or building an active guild gives you access to exclusive skills, buffs, memory chips, rover parts, and powerful equipment — all of which contribute to faster and stronger character growth.
Final Thoughts
Creating a guild in RF Online Next is quick and affordable, but running one effectively comes down to setting clear membership rules and staying active with your members. Whether you prefer a small, friends-only group or a large guild focused on GvG and raids, the benefits — from bigger login rewards to easier boss kills — make guild membership one of the best ways to grow stronger faster.
