Membership in a Trade Guild is an important part of a life in Itona. Each guild has a different impact on over all gameplay, and offers a unique set of benefits. It is possibly to obtain membership in multiple trade guilds (even all of them, in fact!) but as the saying goes, jack of all trades, master of none ... There are six Trade Guilds currently operating in Itona, as described in broad strokes below. Membership in any Trade Guild allows access to their weekly Trade Guild meeting. Be aware that a player can only complete one Trade Guild meeting per week, no matter how many memberships they have.
Breeder - Provides various boosts to breeding and minor merchant boosts.
Trainer - Provides various boosts to training and minor showing boosts.
Fancier - Provides boosts to showing and minor breeding boosts.
Expeditioneer - Provides boosts to item generating tasks and minor training boosts.
Merchant - Provides boost to item and hound selling tasks and minor genotyping boosts.
Scientist - Provides genotyping related boosts and minor expedition boosts.

Improving Trade Guild Standing
Guild standing is improved by unlocking more abilities under the Skills & Trade Guild Standing tab on your kennel page. You will need to earn Trade Tokens in order to advance.

Trade Guilds take a significant amount of time and effort to advance through!
