Guild locations?

[Masque]

After the update that changed all the space stations, I've only ever seen the Merchant's Guild, in the back right corner, on the upper deck of the stations.

Where are the Mercenaries Guild and Explorer's guilds located? Trying to sell all these pirate beacons, and their description says to sell them at the Mercenaries Guild, but I can't find any of them.

There is only one guild per station. Always in the same place.

[Masque]

Is it random then, and I've only ever got the Merchants guild on the dice roll?

Granted I haven't checked on all of the stations, only recently as I've begun collecting a pile of these beacons.

I think it is random, never really paid attention. Someone on here probably knows better.

Its tied to system regions. Or well quadrants in space.
You need to find a galactic region that is home to mercenaries.
All systems across that region will be the same

To do this expand the system info on the galaxy map. It tells you the region/quadrant name. Only 1 guild per region.

Fascinating, Exodius. I never noticed that in eight years.

I've not left the systems within maybe 5 short hyperdrive jumps in my starting system in this playthrough, so I probably haven't ever left the region/quadrant.

Does the interface say which guild in a particular region?

Its a new feature, it used to be that every station had 1 envoy from every guild. Now the Guilds are more of a "Controlling enterprise" is how I think of them having their own space sectors.

Sadly there is no way to tell on the interface. You just have to explore new regions, but it does not take long to find the one you are looking for. Also when you find them you plop a base down or something to mark the system or just mentally remember their location.

But if said like Region "Genesis" is Merchant guild then every solar system in that region will belong to them so you would have to jump to Region "Alpha" for example and it would be controlled by another guild.

Seems to be only a handful of systems per region/quadrant too so it isn't hard to find a new guild

That's very helpful, thanks.

Going to have to keep a notebook if I want to focus on guilds, I guess.

Also in current Expedition 14 there is only mercenary guild presented on all stations.

Going to start it soon, and good to know -- maybe I'll add my pirate beacons to the stash when I start the expedition, and sell them once I'm "inside".

This is RNG, but because of that it is common for players to have that one elusive guild that they never seem to find. For me it was the mercenary guild. Which, of course, is no issue at all in the expedition.

although all standing with them that you gain during the expedition will most likely disappear when you finish it. Still, good plan to bring lots of pirate transponders, it's nice to have somewhere to pick up free ammo and unstable plasma!

[GrumpyGnome]

I agree with those that pointed out the locations of things is random. You could make a thousand warps and never find a specific region. I made warps for over an hour and no luck finding a mercenary region. So my mercenary stuff is in storage for a possible use later.

There are also Guild representatives at colossal archives. Has anyone checked to see if they are always the same guild as the space station?

Simply not true. Perhaps True in the REGION that the Expedition takes place in, but last night, I went into another REGION, and the first space station I stopped at had an Explorer Guild. Which allowed me to donate quite a few items I had been carrying around with me.

[UncreativelyNamed]

Just popping in to say that you can just sell those pirate transponders at the regular trade terminals, if you don't want to screw around finding a mercenary guild envoy to donate them to.

By donating the transponders to the guild, you increase standing with the guild. By selling them at the trade terminal, you get units as usual. So, I suppose it depends on which you want more.

They've always been the same as the guild envoy on the station in the system. So far as I've seen, that didn't change with the Orbital update. In fact, the guild envoy by region has always been the case, I believe. It's just that until the Orbital update, most people didn't seem to care about the guilds much because they really didn't do much. They just gave you a mostly-useless random gift when you had sufficient standing with them, if you bothered to interact with them.

Important update for the latest update (Worlds PT II as of writing): I found out that you can actually highlight a system with what ever guild type you want by going to 'Catalogue & Guide' section in the pause menu, click on any of the three displayed milestones in the 'Journey Milestones' section, go to 'Factions', click on which ever guild you want to look for, a Medal should already be selected, if not select a Medal, then click 'Pin Medal *Add guidance to log*' this will add guild progression to your Log, And will highlight the nearest system with your selected guild. Hope this helps anyone who was having the sames difficulties as me before I found this out.
