Back from Hiatus

Sharenian Guild Party Quest

Requirements: There must be at least one party with 6 members from the same guild (The guild master, 1 junior master, 4 other guild members). Only the guild master or a junior master can be the party leader. One member of the party must have a Teleport ability for the party to complete the PQ.

Back from hiatus! The Sharenian Guild PQ was closed before the guild system was updated because it was designed to function with the old guild system.
After making some modifications to ensure it doesn't conflict with the current guild system, we've brought it back with the same gameplay, as you requested.
To participate in the Guild PQ, talk to Shuang in the Relic Excavation Camp northeast of Perion.
Important notes
Entry Stage: Break the amethysts and have each member of the party equip the Protector Rock earrings that drop. The entrance to the next stage is boobytrapped to kill characters that do not have these earrings equipped.
Stage 2: Part way through this stage is a section that requires a character with a Teleport skill to use it to get through a wall.
Final Stage: One of your party will need to sacrifice himself or herself to allow the rest of the party to proceed to the boss fight.
