Challenges are designed to test a player's skills in many areas. Skill ranks aim to provide an incentive for players to improve their skills.
Only guild members who have been in the guild for more than a week and VIP members are allowed to do the rank tests. Your alternative characters outside the guild cannot perform the skill rank tests even if the alternative character is a VIP member.
First of all, you MUST complete the challenge to get a reward and to be promoted in rank. You must complete all challenges that go before the rank you want to advance to.
You can advance in rank in as many skills as you want, but you can only apply for one challenge at a time.
Rules for special ranks:
To get a special rank, you have to reach rank 11 in that skill. Only one person can have a special rank in each skill, and one person can have only one special rank. The player who has a special rank becomes a guild representative for that skill.
How to get a rank?
Make sure to post your player name and current skill level in appropriate skill ranks forum. If you have privacy enabled, you will need to turn it off for Council members or Guild Master to check your skill level. You will do the challenge for the rank one real life day after rewards are ready. You can choose the best time of the day for you, and then inform Council member or GM. The date and time of challenge will be announced in the forum and in-game. If you fail a challenge, you can apply for it again instantly, but you will still need to wait one real life day until you will be tested.
ATTENTION! You can not apply for challenges on a special day! If a special day comes unexpectedly, the test will be postponed until the day ends.
Using potions or other items that increase your level in the skill which you are testing for is not allowed.
