The 'Shadow Mercenaries' Guild

Introduction:
The “Shadow Mercenaries” is a guild of next-generation knights which provides a strong collaborative effort all together to completely finish any objective that comes to us. Our aim is to be able to have fun with each other (the most important part) while as well as helping to be servicing many of the neighboring knights in the community by helping them on runs, defeating bosses, and all sorts of things that may come in the future. This is the place for people who aims to be improving their skill and gear with all our veterans, thus meaning they are not by any means a huge factor in recruitment. We're not looking for full 5* players, nor players who have to be 'the best' or very skillful of any sort. If you just enjoy the Spiral Community and just want to boost your experience through playing with guilds, that's amazing~!
We are accepting all sorts of members ranging from newer players who have caught a good experience glimpse of the game (At least reached "Tier 2" or simply have acquired their basic cobalt gear) up to the veteran players who has been playing this game for a very long time.
We also do literally everything in the game from grinding bosses, tutoring, random guild events, the coliseum and down to the deepest depths of the clockworks.
Ideology and Goals:
“Those who possess the skills shall grace those without it”.
This quote is the main ideology of the guild at the moment, the people who follow the quote are what we call ‘volunteers’, they reach out with a helping hand to the people in need. Personally as one of the very old Veteran players, I’ve personally understood that in the past while starting the game it’s probably the hardest part to get through due to all the limitations that are set. Which is the main reason why we would like to help out the players, as the base of the community, we build up the pillars slow and stable.
To be able to maintain a clean and fun environment, the rules and guidelines of the Shadow Mercenaries Guild are to be followed.We expect all members to fulfill the requirements That means be mature, be active, follow the Code of Conduct listed below in order for our guild to always be enjoyable place to have a good time for all our members.
Our regulations may be seen as follows in our Forums.
So, wrapping everything stated above, what are your benefits for joining?

Cheers,

1.sort of. I can blaze through Gloaming Wildwoods. I'm also good at Devilish Drudgery levels.
2.Also a bit iffy with this one. i generally have a good attitude.
3.Yes, i'm an active player. i was going to go for an arcade run after i finish this application.
4.Sir-Zalost. I think i got the name from a "Courage the cowardly dog" villain.
5.I started roughly a week ago.
6.Daily, if my Mist is recharged and i've nothing better to do.
7. 2-star gear. Cobalt armor, a calibur, and an autogun. I have a defender, and a recipe for a plate shield. I also have recipes for Wolver gear, i'll craft them sooner or later.
8.A few minutes ago from Vertigo. I was asking about a guild that does Arcade runs, and tries to change the levels to the guild's liking.
9.I'd like a gate that actually has the Cooling Chamber/Infernal passage level early on.
10. To hopefully find a Mug of misery, and more dark shards. Maybe even get the book for the Summoning Kat.
11.Yes... and no. I'd like to do Teamspeak, but the padding for my mic's been ripped off(i'm serious, my sister's a ba^@#$)
No Begging- I'm assuming that applies to CE. i need 1 point of it. (99 currently)
