The "xCoin Balance" System: In most high-end Trade Guilds, you'll be asked to "Sell 150,000g per week" or "Donate 10k". That's a fine system, simple and easy to understand, but we've found that it leaves a lot to be desired. What if you can't sell 100k this week, but you donated 10,000g to the Bank? Or maybe you spent 500,000g on new gear in our Guild Store this week, and don't have enough left over to donate? Technically, that 10,000g donation brings in more than 100,000g in sales would yield in tax revenue - and 500k in purchases generates 17,500g in tax - but other guilds with systems like those above may not be able to give you credit for that, and we think that's a shame.

That's why we've developed our "xCoin Balance" system - it's a custom, comprehensive metric that we track manually, and it's the only truly-accurate measure of the exact amount of gold you're contributing to the Guild's bottom line on a weekly and monthly basis. "xCoin" tracks the taxes you generate from both Purchases and Sales, profit from Raffle Ticket purchases, gold contributed via Gold and Item donations, and it even calculates how much you over-pay for an item in our weekly Auctions (as compared to the Market Value), and credits you the difference. We believe in being fair and putting in that extra effort to make sure all of our members' contributions are accounted for accurately. We also believe in full transparency - our "xCoin Balances" are calculated at the end of each Fiscal Week, and the scores are posted to our website, so members can keep track of their progress.

To read more about our "xCoin Balance" system, including detailed breakdowns of how our calculations are made, please head over to https://www.skavyn.com/FAQ.

Guild Ranks: Our Guild Ranks are set at various "xCoin Balance" thresholds. If your Average Weekly xCoin Balance for the current month is above the minimum threshold for a rank, you'll be promoted to that Guild Rank.

Additionally, we offer ten "Honorary Officer" positions to our Top 10 Monthly Contributors. These "Shareholders" are promoted at the end of each Fiscal Month, and they hold their ranks for the next month (or until someone else out-contributes them).

Rank List:

• Guild Master
• Council
• Senior Officer
• Officer
  
• Shareholder - Top 10 Monthly Contributors
  
• Maverick - 2000,000+ xCoin/week
• Tycoon - 100,000 - 199,999 xCoin/week
• Mogul - 50,000 - 99,999 xCoin/week
• Merchant - 10,000 - 49,999 xCoin/week
• Peddler - 0 - 9,999 xCoin/week

Weekly Events: Every week, we host a variety of fun events to help support the guild and our members.

• Weekly Raffles
  Every week, we host a massive weekly Raffle, complete with multiple valuable prizes. Tickets cost 1,000g each, and there's no limit to the tickets you can buy. Prizes include Raw Materials, Tempers, Motifs, Recipes, Furniture Packs, Custom Legendary Armor & Weapons, Nirncrux, Player Houses, 1,000,000g, and more!
  
• Weekly Live Auctions
  On Friday and Saturday Nights, we host weekly Live Auctions in Guild Chat for all of our members. All proceeds from the items sold help the Guild pay for their weekly Trader Kiosk bids!
  
• Item Raffles
  In addition to our weekly Gold Raffle, every week we hold a series of Item Raffles - simply send in your raw materials, Tempers, Motifs, Master Writs, etc., and we'll give you tickets based on what you send in. One winner each week will take home half of the entries! It's another great way to support the guild outside of sales and gold donations.
  
• Farmageddon
  Farmageddon is an event we host multiple times each week. All members gather together for an hour to farm as much as they can for one hour, and the top farmers win gold prizes! All items collected are donated to the Guild to stock our Auctions and Raffles, and also can be sold to help cover our weekly Trader Kiosk bids. New farmers are always welcome, as we treat these events like "classes" where our Veterans can help teach you to be more efficient and make more gold!
  
• Trials, Pledge Nights, Fishing Derbies & Social Events:
  We also host a variety of recurring events every month, including open-invite Trials, Pledge Nights, Fishing Derbies, and more! For more details, check out our website (https://www.skavyn.com/calendar/) or contact an Officer.

I am looking for a busy trade guild to join and share wares with. I am active almost daily.

i am @krimsonnox

I'm in Exchange and I can confirm it's a fantastic community. Great sales, but most importantly Ixtyr and the other officers work very hard to keep everyone happy and keep the good times rolling. There's always people online happy to answer questions or provide services.

Also I named my newest character after the same town as the guild

Korlynn

I applied (@Korlynn) yesterday! Does it matter which guild we chose?

Not really, that's just a matter of personal preference on your part, depending which location you'd want. Exchange is in Wayrest, Bazaar currently in Belkarth.

If the guild you apply to happens to be full (they often are), we may send you an invite to the other if there's space available. If you'd ever like to switch (or join both, assuming you can meet requirements), we can always arrange that later!

Hello! Me and my wife were expelled from the guild (The Ska'vyn Bazaar) without any explanations. What is the reason of it and why weren't we informed in advance? Now we have our mailboxes cluttered with "expired" items and a heavy feeling of frustration because of such mistreatment.

Hey mate!

The guilds each have a minimum participation requirement to retain membership. Keeping access to our Traders costs us millions of gold each week, so we ask that all members contribute at least 1,000g in taxes or donations to help cover the costs. The membership policy and our tracking systems are all explained on the website.

If you're able to meet the requirements and would like another invite, feel free to reapply or poke an officer in Discord.

The Ska'vyn Exchange has officially moved into Mournhold! OP updated.

slyzodiac

Is the guild still recruiting?

Alvar

Yup... head over to http://www.skavyn.com/ to apply!

Full disclaimer: I'm not an officer/recruiter, just a member. Highly organized good group; check out thier faq to see if they're a good fit for you.

Ixtyr

I've made significant edits to the OP to address issues with clarity and comprehensiveness. Hopefully that additional detail will help answer some questions, without requiring anyone to head over to our Guild Website to catch the basics.

Minimum Requirements have also been updated in The Ska'vyn Exchange today, so that is now reflected in the OP.
