Is there a way to transfer ownership of guild items

TheWoanderer · October 2020

Does anyone know if it is possible to transfer ownership of a Guild and the items within such as mundus stones, crafted sets and a trial Dummy?
XB/EU
Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Were you referring to a guild hall? The guild itself can be transferred by the guild master promoting someone to the rank. A guild hall is just someone's house that they allow others to use.

Crafting stations can be transferred to others.

The iron atro dummy is bound to the person who buys it. The same goes for mundus stones. They're only available through the furnishings tab in your house, as far as I know.

No, they're bound to your account.

I left ps4 to move over to Xbox and my house was the guild house. I could hand next to nothing over as it was nearly all bound. Tables, dummies etc etc.

That is quite disappointing really. I'm leaving the game so those items could be useful to the rest of the guild. I mean, yes I farmed for countless hours to get the crafting tables and bought 4 of the 7 mundus stones but 3 mundus stones were gifted as well as the trial Dummy. Seems a bit sad that items such as these can't be transfered for the good of the remaining members.

Surely there must be a way that Zos could enable a transfer of ownership.

I guess it's complex and given the huge player base would require some personal engagement but it does pain me that the rest of that guild should lose out really.

Anyway. It is what it is I guess.

Thank you for your responses

Do what i did, just leave one character and your id in the guild.

It's also why i never accepted gifted items for the guild house. Players leave and if they up sticks from the guild, you're leaving with items others have farmed for or paid for.

Officially this game does not have guild halls or guild owned items. Some guilds have created a work-around where one player will fill their primary residence with items which would be useful to the guild and open it for them to use, but that's not recognised or endorsed by ZOS, so they don't provide any tools to support it.

Having said that in your situation there is a fairly simple solution: You don't need to be online for members of your guild to visit your house (as long as it's set to your primary residence) so you could just let the guild know you're leaving the game and they won't see you online but they can keep using the house, as long as they don't kick you out.

Of course you'll also need to make sure you don't leave the guild or delete all your characters, but there's no need to do that and no benefit for you if you did. You can't delete your account entirely even if you wanted to, so you may as well leave what you've got just in case you want to come back at some point in the future. If not it won't matter that it's still there.

If you´re only after ownership of the Guild (aka change who´s the guild master) you can ask the support to help you with that. If you can prove that the previous guild master has been absent for more than 3 months (think 3 months is the lower limit last time I checked, since I wanted to transfer leadership of a guild to myself after a friend who was guild master left the game), support can help you with that. However, the support checks who´s been the most active member of the guild since the previous guildmaster became absent, so even if you send a ticket to support asking to get the ownership, it might fall to someone else within the Guild (depending on how Active they´ve been within the Guild)

In terms of items, you won´t be able to touch bound items that belongs to ther players or stuff placed within a "guildhall" (unless it´s your own house)

This game sorely needs Guild Halls...

Edit: Ah yeah, that sadly can't be helped, they're forever bound to you, not the guild - but most of the time thats a good thing eh? ^^

It does, but I also think it would diminish the amount of effort put into their personal houses, simply due to the fact that a lot of them are used by other guild mates so we want them to look nice. If there were Guild Halls (which I do want), then there wouldn't be as much of a need for personal houses, or at least the amount of attention given to them.

I've transfered ownership and have told the new GM I will stay in the guild so they have a Guild House. Set my notes as an inactive player but told the new GM who is a personal friend that if needed I will log in for updates etc.

At the end of the day it's 3 mundus and a trial Dummy. The rest has been my own hard slogging across 9 toons, millions of gold and thousands of crowns and not having the time to run content that I want, so if they want they can recover gold from the guild bank which could hopefully help them secure another trial Dummy and over time secure mundus stones.

Ive already passed all my master writs on to the new GM so he can make writ vouchers and should he eventually wish to create his own Guild House, he can.

It's definately a pity though, months of slogging trying to set up an environment that is useful to guild members but then wanting to leave means the genuine folk who committed to the guild mission being denied the benefits of being in the guild should I wish to leave completely.

It's nice knowing that should I decide to return, all that is waiting for me and it's no skin off my teeth being a silent member/founder and allowing it to remain.

So ultimately its not really a huge problem I guess.

I think for me, it was more of a 'here, if you're going to run the guild, have this'
Having control of the items kinda makes you feel like a genuine GM but knowing they belong to another player diminishes the feeling of control.

Probably just me overthinking things.

Thanks for the responses
