GREED Rank Progression System

The Masters of Trade ranking system is an optional progression path designed to reward members who actively contribute to the Free Company and community.

Members earn points through participation, contribution, leadership, and community involvement. These points can then be used to request rank advancements within the FC.

How the Ranking System Works

Members can earn points through activities such as:

  • Completing crafting or gathering orders
  • Hosting or attending FC events
  • Assisting members with content
  • Donating requested items
  • Supporting FC initiatives and committees

These contributions help the FC:

  • Craft gear for members
  • Fund prizes and events
  • Support community projects
  • Help members clear both new and old content

Important Notes

Rank Responsibility

Each rank comes with its own responsibilities and expectations.

Failure to actively maintain those responsibilities for an extended period of time may result in demotion.

Rank Reviews

Meeting the point requirement alone does not guarantee promotion.

When requesting a rank-up:

  1. Purchase the rank-up through #fc-point-store
  2. Leadership and the review board will evaluate your contributions
  3. If approved, you will advance in rank
  4. If denied, feedback will be provided to help you improve for future consideration
