Renown and seasons
How your guild and members earn renown, what each level unlocks, achievements, seasons, the season recap and Promotion Watch.
Renown is Spawnix's way of celebrating an active guild. Everything your members do, from forum posts to ops, earns renown for the guild and for the members themselves. Levels unlock cosmetics for your banner and website, flair titles for members, and some marketplace items.
Renown is never sold, and it never unlocks features a plan pays for. It's purely a reward for being active.
How renown is earned
There are two kinds: guild renown (shown on the Renown page) and member renown (shown on each member's profile).
| Activity | Guild renown | Member renown |
|---|---|---|
| A member joins | 25 | |
| A forum thread | 10 | 10 to the author |
| A forum post | 2 | 2 to the author |
| An event that takes place | 30 | |
| Saying Going to an event that takes place | 15 | |
| A poll | 10 | 10 to the creator |
| A published website page | 20 | |
| A loot haul | 15 | 15 to the member who logged it |
| An achievement reached | 100 |
Renown is worked out from what's in your guild right now. A removed post, a deleted poll or a page you unpublish stops counting. That keeps renown honest: spam that moderators clean up earns nothing.
Levels
Level 2 takes 250 renown. Each level after that needs 150 more than the one before.
| Level | Total renown |
|---|---|
| 2 | 250 |
| 3 | 650 |
| 4 | 1,200 |
| 5 | 1,900 |
| 6 | 2,750 |
| 8 | 4,900 |
| 10 | 7,650 |
| 12 | 11,000 |
| 16 | 19,500 |
The same scale is used for guilds and for members.
Member flair
Members earn flair titles with their own renown. They show next to the member's name, and each member picks which unlocked title to show in Edit profile (see profiles and characters).
| Flair | Member level |
|---|---|
| Initiate | 1 |
| Sentinel | 3 |
| Vanguard | 5 |
| Ascendant (premium) | 6 |
| Champion | 8 |
| Phoenix (premium) | 10 |
| Legend | 12 |
| Mythic | 16 |
Premium flair is for members of guilds on Commander or Admiral.
Reward tracks
The Reward tracks on the Renown page show what your guild unlocks at each level, in two lanes:
- Free, for every guild.
- Premium, for guilds on Commander or Admiral (see plans and billing).
Rewards come in a few kinds:
| Kind | Where it shows |
|---|---|
| Banner frame | Around your guild banner and your website header |
| Crest | Around your guild's emblem |
| Title | A line under your guild's name |
| Effect | A moving effect, like embers or snow, on your banner and website header |
| Marketplace item | An item that becomes available to install from the marketplace |
Some rewards are themed for your game or its genre (space, fantasy or survival), so a Rust clan and a WoW guild see different rewards on their tracks.
Try on and equip
Click any reward to preview it on your banner, even one you haven't unlocked yet, and compare it with your current look. Once a reward is unlocked, the owner or an admin can click Equip to wear it, or Remove to take it off. For a marketplace reward, click Get it in the Marketplace.
Achievements
Achievements are guild milestones. Each one adds 100 guild renown.
| Achievement | Goal |
|---|---|
| Full Squad | 10 members |
| Wing Strength | 25 members |
| Battle Group | 50 members |
| Legion | 100 members |
| Talk of the Hangar | 100 forum posts |
| Loud Comms | 500 forum posts |
| Living Archive | 2,000 forum posts |
| First Sortie | 1 op held |
| Veteran Crew | 10 ops held |
| Campaign | 50 ops held |
| Council Voice | 10 polls |
| Treasure Hunters | 10 loot hauls |
| Banner Raised | 1 published page |
| Signal Linked | Connect a Discord server |
An op counts as held once its start time has passed.
Seasons
Seasons follow the calendar quarters (in UTC):
| Season | Months |
|---|---|
| Starfall | January to March |
| Sunrise | April to June |
| Wildfire | July to September |
| Frostfall | October to December |
Some premium rewards are seasonal: they can only be earned during their own season. If your guild reaches the level while the season is on, the reward is yours to keep. Once the season ends, a seasonal reward you didn't earn is gone.
The season recap
Season recap shows your guild's season in numbers: renown earned, ops held, forum posts, threads, new members, polls and loot hauls. It also lists the most active members and everything the guild earned that season. Use the menu at the top to look back at past seasons.
Show it on your website
On the Renown page, owners and admins can turn on Show our level, title, badges and season recap on the guild website. Your site then shows your guild's standing, and the recap gets its own page at /season.
Promotion Watch
Owners and admins see Promotion Watch on the Command Deck when members' renown has outgrown their rank. Each suggestion shows the member's renown level, their current rank and the next one up.
- Promote to (the next rank) promotes them right away.
- Not now hides the suggestion. It comes back once the member gains two more levels.
A member in your lowest rank is suggested at level 3, the next rank at level 5, and so on. Promotion Watch never suggests anyone for your top rank. It's a nudge, not a rule: you decide who gets promoted. See roles and ranks.
Tips and tricks
- Publish your website's home page early. Banner Raised is an easy 100 renown, plus 20 for the page.
- Connect Discord for Signal Linked, another quick 100 (see Discord setup).
- Encourage members to RSVP Going before an op. They earn 15 renown each when it takes place, and their flair levels up faster.
- Turn on the website display once you've equipped a frame or effect. Visitors see an active, established guild.
- Check the season recap at the end of each quarter and shout out the most active members in a forum post.
- Use Promotion Watch as your monthly review list, then press Not now for anyone who isn't ready yet.
