Q.
How do I get guild marks?
A.
Guild marks are awarded after the successful completion of levequests and class quests. The differences between guild mark awards between regional and local levequests are outlined below.
Regional Levequests
Awarded after completion of a levequest rank 20 or above.
* Completion of the levequest as a class other than that designated by the guildleve will yield less guild marks.
* The designated class of a levequest is selected from among a player's classes that are rank 10 and above.
Local Levequests
Can sometimes be selected in place of gil as a reward from clients after completion of levequests rank 15 and above.
Q.
Where can I view how many guild marks I have?
A.
Navigate to main menu » Inventory, and then select the Currency tab to view the guild marks currently in your possession.
Q.
I see that I have enough guild marks to purchase an action from the guild shop, but it still won't let me. What am I doing wrong?
A.
If you have not yet completed class quests up to a certain point, you may be unable to use your guild marks. Items and actions that cannot be purchased are displayed on the vendor list in yellow.
