The Company: muster, the Coffer, writs and boons
How guilds work in The Ember Depths: weekly muster from every run, the five-chest Company Coffer, writs on the company board, Company Boons and Standing.
Every run you play musters points for your guild's week. On Monday (00:00 UTC, with the Rites) the Company Coffer opens at whatever tier the company reached, and every member who mustered claims a chest for each tier. Nothing decays and nobody is punished for a quiet week.
Muster
- Each floor 2, dungeon 6, elite 1, boss 10, arena win 4, new Descent depth 4 — plus finished writs.
- Up to 600 of yours count toward the Coffer each week; past that you still earn guild XP.
- Full share: muster 150+ in a week and your claim gets one bonus roll (a rare item, or epic at the Crown Coffer).
- A member adds at most 2,500 guild XP a week, and companies below level 5 earn ×2 guild XP.
The Company Coffer
Tier thresholds scale with the company's active members (at least 3), so a company of three and a company of thirty face the same effort per head. Gold is scaled to your hero level. Each tier reached also adds 1 seal to the treasury. You only claim tiers the company reached after you joined.
| Chest | Muster per active member | Adds to your claim |
|---|---|---|
| Copper Coffer | 40 | 1× gold · 3 Iron Scrap |
| Silver Coffer | 100 | 1× gold · 2 Arcane Essence |
| Gilded Coffer | 180 | 2× gold · 1 Void Crystal · a rare item |
| Ember Coffer | 280 | 2× gold · 1 Forgotten Soul |
| Crown Coffer | 400 | 3× gold · 1 Starshard · a epic item |
Writs
Townsfolk post contracts on the company board. Hold up to 3; taking one takes it off the board for everyone, and it counts from the moment you take it. Unfinished writs vanish on Monday.
| Writ | Posted by | Task | Muster | Guild XP |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cull the Champions | The Watch | Slay 12 elite foes. | 25 | 180 |
| Map the Deep | The Cartographers | Clear 8 floors. | 25 | 180 |
| Clear the Warrens | Mayor's Office | Clear 3 dungeons, start to finish. | 30 | 220 |
| Fell the Tyrants | The Temple | Defeat 2 bosses. | 30 | 240 |
| Thin the Rabble | The Tavern | Slay 150 foes of any kind. | 15 | 120 |
| Bouts for the Banner | The Sparring Yard | Win 3 arena bouts. | 25 | 160 |
| Bring Back a Relic | The Antiquarian | Find 1 legendary item. | 40 | 300 |
Company Boons
Officers spend seals to light a boon for the whole company until Monday. A company starts with 3 seals and gains 2 per guild level. Boons never apply in the arena.
| Boon | Tier I | Tier II |
|---|---|---|
| Purse of the Company | +10% gold found (2 seals) | +20% gold found (4 seals) |
| Delver's Lantern | +10% magic find (2 seals) | +20% magic find (4 seals) |
| Scholar's Lamp | +5% hero XP (2 seals) | +10% hero XP (4 seals) |
| Road-Worn Boots | +4% move speed (2 seals) | +8% move speed (4 seals) |

Standing
Your lifetime muster across every company you've served: Hearthkin (0) → Delver (500) → Warden (2,500) → Lodge-Captain (8,000) → Ember-Sworn (20,000). It follows you if you move on, and shows on the roster.
