Palworld is built around Guilds, and the moment you load into a world you are already in one. Understanding what a Guild actually shares between members is the difference between a smooth co-op session and watching your hard-earned Pals and materials vanish into a teammate’s pocket. This guide breaks down Guild member limits, shared bases, what is pooled versus what stays private, and the experimental Guild PvP toggle, all verified against the Palworld wikis and the official server documentation. Note that several of these values are version-dependent and adjustable in World Settings, so always check your own world’s configuration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What a Guild Is in Palworld<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Every player starts in an “Unnamed Guild” automatically. A Guild is the cooperative unit that ties players to shared bases, shared resources, and a shared base-level economy. To play with friends, you either join their world directly or hop into the same Guild on a shared world or dedicated server. You join another Guild by approaching that player and sending a join request, or by accepting an invite from them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a meaningful catch when joining: you cannot join a Guild if doing so would exceed the maximum number of bases. According to the Palworld wiki, you may need to dismantle your own Palbox first before the join goes through. And leaving has a real cost, which we cover below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guild Member Limits and Co-op Player Counts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Two different numbers matter here, and people often confuse them. The co-op session size<\/strong> is how many players can be in a non-dedicated world at once, while the Guild member limit<\/strong> is a separate World Setting governing how many players a single Guild can hold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a hosted (non-dedicated) co-op world, the world holds up to four players total \u2014 the host plus three friends. The Guild member limit is a separate slider: per the official wiki World Settings, the default maximum number of Guild members is 20, adjustable across a 1\u2013100 range. That higher ceiling is most relevant on dedicated servers, where many players can coexist and form larger Guilds than a four-person co-op session allows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Guildmates Share<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Guild pools your physical base infrastructure. Knowing exactly what is communal prevents nasty surprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
