*Weapon skills count as a group since they are the defenders and there are just branches for those guilds. (Ex: Large blade and small blade over 50 would not count as 2 masters, but only 1.)

(2)*Besides defending the guild, the fighting guilds shall also be required to organize and participate in hunts to supply the guild treasury. For the fighting guilds to count as participation I am going to set a min number of hunts since defending is a tricky situation. The two week military service required for Duke status will require that the guildmate who wishes to attain the rank, to organize at least 3 hunts a week (total of 6) for the 2 weeks with a min of 4 participants (not including yourself). The hunts will have no set time min but will be watched for effort on the part of the Knight organizing and running the hunt. All drops obtained during the hunt should be handed into the treasury. The req for 4 participants is to test your leadership skills and how you work within the guild. Duke is the highest level attained and is granted a seat on the Grand Council, thus they must be respected and trusted by their fellow guildmates.
(3)*Selecting of items for awards shall be based on the availability of items in the guild treasury. A member may choose to add gold to their award to purchase a more valuable item from the guild if one is avilable. If the guild has only 1 item in stock then that shall not be sold. The guild will retain at least 1 item of each type in the treasury for special purposes.
(4)*The guild will sell magic items to members who do not wish to wait upon status levels and awarding of items, but all transactions will be done through the guild master and if the guild has the items to spare. Awarding members get first priority.
(5)**When trading out one weapon for another to train with, the person must trade in an equal or better + level for that which they wish to train with. (ex: to get a +3 item you must turn in a +3 or +4, to get a +4 item you must turn in a +4 or +5.) To prevent people from taking advantage of this generosity, the guild will only trade out weapons if there are extras in the treasury. Also when you trade out a weapon, all trades must go through the guild master because he shall keep track of what is traded out. To trade for another item you must trade back in the last item you trade out for.
Example: Katie trades a +4 light ax for a +4 battle ax. Once she has completed training with that weapon she wants to train with a +4 war ax. She must then return the +4 battle ax to trade for the +4 war ax. This way can only trade for another weapon if you still have retained the first weapon. (This is to prevent people from trading and then just selling the weapons.) There is 1 exception though, if you lose the weapon you may still trade for another weapon, but you must trade in a weapon of higher value then. Example: Katie loses the +4 battle ax, then she must turn in a weapon that is worth more then a +4 battle ax to be allowed to trade for another weapon.
