1) Any guild you join or are already a member of once you advance to 10th level in any other two guilds. For example, if you start the game as a bard, advance to level 20 bard, join illusionist, join entertainer, and advance to level 10 entertainer, your illusionist guild will count as a tertiary guild even though you joined it second. Your tertiary guilds have no impact on your bulk or your guild choices. Even if the guild you join as a tertiary has 20 or 14 levels in it, you will only be able to advance to 9th level in the guild. 2) Any guild which consists of only 9 levels. There are some guilds designed specifically to be joined as tertiary guilds -- these guilds are duly referred to as 'tertiary guilds' and are completed in 9 levels. There are some special rules that apply to these guilds. A tertiary guild only grants access to one specific skill or spell, and while the skill or spell is officially granted at level 9, you may begin training it as soon as you join, as long as your race max is over 40% (lower race maxes may require additional levels to reach the first 5% training). The amount you can train is based on your guild level and your training max. Without fully completing all the levels of a tertiary guild, you will only be able to train to a certain percentage of your usual maximum. The maximum trained grows linearly up to 2/3rds the player's race max at level 8, always rounded down to the nearest 5%, with full race max training available at level 9. Wishes increasing the racial max are accounted for at all levels. Additionally, the gold and experience cost of training the tertiary guild skill or spell depends on the number of guild levels you have total, even those you have in other guilds! Therefore, to ensure the cheapest training, train the tertiary guild's skill to its maximum percentage every time you take a level in the guild, before levelling again. As a rule of thumb, training costs will increase every 9 levels past level 34. Finally, tertiary guilds have one additional benefit -- the stat bonuses that they give are higher compared to taking levels in non-tertiary guilds, with the only exception being your primary guild. |
