For Crimson Moon Reserve members there exist seven known guilds they can join: "Warrior"; "Mage"; "Paladin"; "Priest"; "Hunter"; "Dread Knight" and "Thief".
Becoming a Member[]
It costs eight silvers to join a guild. It is frowned upon and restricted for someone to have two professions or join multiple guilds. A guild protects an individual’s rights, offers a place to learn the trade, and guild members offer mutual protection for each other. Those who want to pursue work in a given profession within Alterna must join the related guild.
Only a sanctioned guild mentor is allowed to teach someone the guild's skills and techniques. Anyone attempting to enter a trade or learn a skill without becoming a guild member would soon find their businesses purposely impeded upon by the guild. Since everyone knows about this consequence, no one would do any business with someone who operated outside of a guild anyway.
All members of a guild have to abide by established rules and regulations or risk being penalized. Newly inducted members into any of the guilds are required to make it through a demanding seven-day crash course on the basics of the trade.
One can leave and join a guild at any time if another eight silvers are paid but those who were not qualified to be mentors are forbidden to speak to others about the guild’s techniques, and other secret skills.
The majority of guilds have a code that is passed down verbally to its new members. Anyone who breaks the code will be expelled. The consequences of expulsion vary form never being able to join the guild again to being hunted down and killed.
Acquisition of Skills and Magic[]
When a skill or magic is first learned through training, what is learned is only the basics: enough to execute it, but not to execute it with sufficient power and effect. Through practice or use in battle (use in battle is said to be ten times as effective) your degree of skill builds, and gradually you become able to execute it with the power and effect it was meant to have. It takes considerable time and effort to master it fully.
Members of a guild must pay to learn new skills. Though some skills are only taught to veteran and trustworthy members of the guild who are capable of learning it.
Warriors' Guild[]
A warrior is a profession that focuses on wielding heavy armor and weaponry. Their job is to be a front line tank who faces enemies head on with strength and fury. They are considered one of two classes that no party can be without.
Warriors require very expensive armor and equipment and many parities pool their money to equip their Warriors. Due to the high cost of high end equipment, it is also typical for parties to salvage armor piece meal from downed enemies and slowly build a full suit of armor.

Mages' Guild[]
The quintessential magic profession in Grimgar, they draw a magic diagram in mid-air that releases spells. A spell can be sped up or slowed down depending on a mage’s experience and skill. Preventing or distracting a Mage from finishing the diagram cancels the spell.
The Mage's Guild is located in East Town, which is a high end residential area, and is in an elegant mansion with white walls.
Mages have no close combat ability and thus typically stay at the most protected area in the back of parties. An excessive casting of spells drains a Mage's stamina and energy.
While all Mages can cast very basic spells, more experienced Mages use the power of magical beings called elementals to cast. The elements include Arve, the magic of fire; Kanon the magic of ice; Falz the magic of lightning; and Darsh, the magic of shadow. Mages can cast improved versions of the spells they know by adding el to the incantation as shown with Shadow Echo and Shadow Mist which are the improved versions of Shadow Beat and Sleepy Shade. Elementals do not like metals, which is why Mages go unarmed and unarmored. There is a process called Elemental Coating that allows a Mage to use coated metal objects and still cast spells. It is very expensive.
Due to Shihoru using Darsh spells, the majority of magic currently known focuses on that branch. The majority of Darsh spells confuse or stun enemies rather than directly damage them. It’s main purpose is to support parties in fights. Darsh spells seem to have a reduced effect on undead opponents.
According to Gohho, there is a limited number of spells that the Mage's Guild will or can teach. After that, a mage must study and experiment to discover new spells and ways to use them.

Priests' Guild[]
A magic profession that cast light spells in the form of prayers and wield staffs like the Mage. They worship the God of Light Lumiaris (ルミアリス, Rumiarisu) along with Paladins. They are considered one of two classes that no party can be without. The Priest acts as the party’s healer and protector, who support their companions during fights. Unlike Mages, they do possess several close combat techniques that allow them to operate in the front line in an emergency.
Priests must say their prayers exactly or their spells will not work. The prayer is: O Light, may Lumiaris's divine protection be upon you. They are also required to make a small gesture or prayer for every enemy that is killed. Similar to Mages, excessive use of spells can drain stamina and energy. For this reason, more experienced priests will only heal major injuries in the field and leave minor cuts/bruises alone for later.
Priest magic does not work in the Dusk Realm.

Experienced Hunters mentor rookie trainees. If the Hunter is male, he becomes Father to the rookie. If the Hunter is female, she becomes Mother to the rookie. It represents the bond between parent and child and is a reflection of the laws of nature.
Hunters believe and worship the White Goddess Eldritch (エルリヒ, Erurihi), who is described as a giant wolf. As part of their worship, Hunters must give thanks to any animal they kill and must pray and make offerings for each meal they eat. Hunters believe that is because of the protection of Eldritch that hunters can hunt and pass their days in safety. Yume describes Eldritch as a very forgiving and understanding god that isn’t very strict on prayer or strict incantations, unlike the Priest guild's deity.
There is also bad blood between Eldritch and the Black God Rigel, who is also described as a giant wolf that causes Hunters to view Rigel worshipers as their enemies.

A Dread Knight prefers to suddenly close in only to attack enemies while staying just outside striking range at all other times.
Dread Knights worship the Dark God and Ruler of Death Skulheill (スカルヘル, Sukaruheru). The profession involves summoning and being possessed by a personal demon that grows in power along with the Dread Knight’s skill. Dread Knights are forbidden to worship any other god and unlike other guilds, once you join the Dread Knights you are not allowed to leave. Due to this restriction, not many volunteer soldiers become Dread Knights. Less than 1 out of 20 volunteer soldiers become Dread Knights.
The Dread Knight's Guild is located in the slums of West Town, an area in Alterna. It is underground and has been described as dank and jail-like.
There appears to be some form of hierarchy within the guild as an unknown number hold the position of lord. Their faces are always disguised and they never show kindness of any kind to others.

- ↑ Demons are ranked by Vices. Zero to ten Vices is rank one and a demon is capable of give a warning when enemies are near. Eleven to forty is rank two and the demon is now capable of distracting enemies by whispering things in their ears. Rank three is after a Dread Knight has collected forty-one or more Vices, and the demon can now trip up enemies or otherwise obstruct their movement.
- ↑ A demon is not a pet and must be negotiated with or appeased. Ranta’s demon, who he named Zodiac, is as lazy and prideful as he is, causing it to only help him when it feels like it. Ranta claims demons can also curse people.
Thieves' Guild[]
A profession that focuses on speed and agility to backstab and assassinate opponents with melee attacks or light weaponry such as knives and daggers. Their modus operandi is self-responsibility, freedom, and lack of restrictions. All thieves are issued a trade name based on personal characteristics that they use.
The guild is unique in that it does not have a strict set of rules but a code of guidelines that include:
- Not operating in an area claimed by another Thief.
- Not stealing or conducting business on another Thief or fellow reserve members.
- Conditions that apply only to Crimson Moon soldiers are that one party is allowed only one Thief at a time.
The Guild's origins go to the Kingdom of Arabakia where they were a secret society called Black Widow. When Arabakia started to expand into the frontier, Black Widow offered their assistance in return for the release of their imprisoned comrades. Those who went to the frontier as scouts, formed the Thieves' Guild.
