Ruling Guild Tax System in Township Battle Rohan Online
After winning Township Battle (TSB), a guild becomes the Ruling Guild of all towns in Rohan Online. The main benefit of this status is the ability to collect a 10% tax from every NPC vendor transaction on the continent. This passive income runs for an entire week without the guild needing to do anything — it is collected automatically by in-game NPCs on the guild's behalf.
Understanding how the ruling guild tax works helps both the winning guild plan their income and regular players understand why vendor prices appear slightly higher during TSB week.
What Is the Ruling Guild?
The Ruling Guild is the guild that won the most recent Township Battle. They hold power over all towns in the R.O.H.A.N. Continent for exactly one week — until the next TSB concludes.
There is only one Ruling Guild per week. No other guild shares this status unless the game rules change.
How the Tax Works
When any player buys from or sells to an NPC merchant anywhere on the continent, a 10% tax is deducted and credited to the Ruling Guild. This happens automatically. The Ruling Guild does not need to log in or interact with any NPC to collect it.
The more players who shop during the week, the more crones the Ruling Guild earns. A busy in-game economy directly benefits the tax income.
How to Check the Ruling Guild
Any player can see the current Ruling Guild at any time. When you interact with a merchant NPC in any town, you will see the Ruling Guild's name and their current tax rate displayed above the merchant's name. This is a built-in display that requires no special menu.
Steps to check:
- Walk up to any merchant NPC in any main town
- Interact with the NPC (right-click or press the action key)
- Look above the merchant's name — the Ruling Guild name and 10% tax rate will appear
When Does the Tax Income Arrive?
The accumulated tax income does not arrive in real time. All collected crones are sent to the Ruling Guild's Guild Bank after the following TSB concludes. This means:
- Guild wins TSB on Saturday Week 1
- Tax is collected passively all week
- Tax crones are deposited into the Guild Bank after TSB ends on Saturday Week 2
The Guild Master then controls how these crones are distributed to members from the Guild Bank.
Impact on Regular Players
Regular players are not heavily affected. The tax is taken from the transaction total, so the price you pay at an NPC vendor increases slightly when a Ruling Guild is active. This is a normal part of the Rohan economy system and reflects the guild's control over the towns.
Quick Tips
- The tax is automatic — Ruling Guild members do not need to do anything to collect it.
- Check the Guild Bank balance after the following TSB to see your earned tax income.
- Encourage active trading on your server — more economic activity means more tax crones.
- The ruling guild status resets every week, so winning TSB consistently is the only way to keep earning.
