The purpose of guild stance is to enable highly skilled guild members to teach less skilled guild members, even if their normal guild defenses are too powerful otherwise.

This command allows you to voluntarily abandon guild ranks that have already learned. The purpose of this is to allow those who are at their rank cap to adjust their guild training in response to the significant changes that have occured within the guild system.

As such, in order to use this command, the player must be at their rank cap and not be masters of every skill available to them. The rank cap restriction exists to ensure that players first exhaust every training option available to them before choosing to abandon certain aspects of their training. Being a master of every skill negates the purpose of abandoning skills to make room for other skills.

It is important to note that this is a '''{{blue|one-time only}} option. That is, you can only choose which ranks you wish to abandon once. You cannot save ranks for a second abandonment. Any and all ranks you choose to abandon are gone until you choose to relearn them again through the normal guild training process. There are no second chances, so it is '''{{blue|HIGHLY}}''' advisable that your decision to use this option be well thought out in advance.

If you rejoin your current guild, you'll have the same skills you had prior to leaving the guild. Any partially trained ranks (performed task repetitions, training points earned, etc.) will be lost.
