Hunter's Guild¶
The Hunter's Guild is a passive reputation system layered on top of every NM-killing track on Legendary. Killing NMs earns reputation in the matching guild; rep-rank-ups boost the marks you earn from that same guild for the rest of your character's life.
Summary
Kill NMs → earn rep in the matching guild → rep ranks up → earned marks get amplified more at each rank (see the ladder below). Hit Grandmaster across multiple guilds for the Trinity Hunter or Apex Hunter capstone stacked on top. Use !huntrank to see your status anywhere.
The four guilds¶
Each guild parallels one NM-kill source on the server. Reputation in guild X amplifies marks earned in guild X's currency only.
| Guild | NM source | Currency it amplifies |
|---|---|---|
| AF Hunters' Guild | Reforge AF (Sky Gods) NMs | AF Marks |
| Relic Hunters' Guild | Reforge Relic (Unity) NMs | Relic Marks |
| Empyrean Hunters' Guild | Reforge Empy (Abyssea) NMs | Empyrean Marks |
| League Hunters' Guild | Hunting League NMs | Hunt Marks |
Reputation is the kill's base mark value — i.e. the marks you'd earn before the amplifier. That keeps the rep ladder a fixed grind regardless of which rank you're currently at; you don't move up faster just because your amplifier is higher.
Rank ladder¶
The same six ranks apply to all four guilds. Thresholds and amplifier values:
| Rank | Rep needed | Amplifier |
|---|---|---|
| Apprentice | 0 | +0% |
| Journeyman | 500 | +10% |
| Veteran | 5,000 | +25% |
| Master | 25,000 | +50% |
| Champion | 55,000 | +75% |
| Grandmaster | 100,000 | +100% |
Apex Reforge NMs award 150 marks per kill; League Tier V (Rank V) hunts award 65. Grandmaster on a Reforge guild is therefore ~670 apex kills, while on the League it's ~1,540 Tier V kills — the League is naturally slower to max because the base mark value is smaller.
Capstones¶
Reaching Grandmaster on multiple guilds at the same time unlocks a permanent meta-bonus that stacks on top of each individual guild's +100%.
| Capstone | Requires | Bonus | Applies to |
|---|---|---|---|
| Trinity Hunter | Grandmaster in af + relic + empy | +25% | All Reforge marks (AF/Relic/Empy) |
| Apex Hunter | Grandmaster in all four guilds | +50% | All marks, supersedes Trinity |
Apex supersedes Trinity at the math level — once you flip the Apex flag, the system stops applying Trinity's +25% on Reforge marks (no double-dipping). The multiplier is additive: multiplier = 1.0 + rankAmp + capstone. For an Apex Hunter at Grandmaster that's 1.0 + 1.00 + 0.50 = 2.5× base marks on every kill.
Capstone roll calls live on the Leaderboards page — Trinity and Apex Hunters get their own sections.
Hunt Targets¶
Reputation in each guild comes exclusively from killing the following Vana'diel NMs. Rep is shared with the whole party/alliance — every member present when the NM dies earns rep, regardless of who landed the killing blow.

Where to check your rank¶
In-game: !huntrank shows your current rank, rep, amplifier, and progress to the next rank for all four guilds — plus your Trinity / Apex flags.
Backfill for existing players¶
Retroactive backfill is off by default on Legendary. Under the current Vana'diel-hunt model, rep comes only from killing the listed open-world NMs — so everyone starts the guild ladder from zero and climbs it by hunting, even long-time players. Lifetime mark totals are not converted into starting rep.
