* In order to be eligible for a guild contract, you must be [[Novice]] rank or higher (28+ skill) in that guild.
* You may only have one guild contract at a time.
** To enter into a contract with a new guild, you will have to terminate the contract that you have with another guild.

== Acquiring Guild Points ==
* Each Earth day a specific item will be requested by the [[Guild Union Representative]].  You will be told a specific number of points that you can obtain during that day.
** New items are determined at JP Midnight.
** The item requested is based off of your rank.
** If you gain a new rank before JP Midnight, the item will change and limits reset even if you've maxed out the previous rank's item for that day.
** High-quality items can be turned in for points.
* Trade the specified item/items to the proper Guild Union Representative to receive credit.
** Generally the number of items that you need to turn in to cap points will not be a whole number, meaning that you will either have to turn in an additional item to receive partial credit to cap your points, or you will gain less than optimal points for the day.  This is not an issue with items that are cheap or easy to synth, but can be a very tough choice with incredibly expensive or hard to get ingredients.
* You can generally find your item of the day from the [http://www.ffxiah.com/guild-pattern FFXIAH Guild Point page].

To see items that you can buy with Guild Points, please see each craft's main page.

==Changing Guilds==
*Players may change their guild affiliation in order to earn and spend points on items with other guilds.
*A player may change guild affiliation at any time by speaking to the corresponding [[Guild Union Representative]] for the desired guild.
**Existing points with your guild are not lost.
**Crafting levels are unaffected.
**You may change back at any time.
*Upon switching contracts, players must wait until JP Midnight before they can earn guild points.
*Players partaking in the [[Escutcheons]] crafting shield quest line may still turn in crafting kits for [[Crafter Points]] after changing guild affiliation away from their main guild. **Be sure to stock up on [[Analysis Crystal]]s before changing.
