Guild banners
Guild banners are Heraldic flags that may be placed anywhere there are twelve or more members of a guild. All members of the guild may take a portal in the guild hall directly to the banner. In addition, some banners offer additional benefits to those near them. Permission to plant, remove, and change banners is set using the Guild Management tool. Banners were first introduced to EverQuest with The Buried Sea expansion.

Creating banners
The "Standard of Honor" banner is always available and confers no benefits other than appearance and granting the ability for guild members to take the guild portal to it. It requires no materials to use.
“ | The "Banner Material Kit" and "Banner Dye Kit" are the items that are used to create a banner and place it in the world.
When you open the guild window and go to the "Banners" Tab, you should see a list box with a single entry that says "Standard of Honor". Just beneath that list box, you'll see a checkbox that says "Show All", select it. This will populate the list box with a bunch of banners that are going to be greyed out (which means you don't have the components to create them). Just beneath the checkbox you checked is the description window, which will give you a brief description of the banner's effect, as well as the items needed to create that banner, which you may then purchase those items from the two guild banner vendors in Plane of Knowledge. The "Banner Exchange Insignia" are used to edit the settings (looks) if your banner. The more you change the looks of your banner, the more it's going to cost you by requiring a higher tier of exchange insignia. |

Placing
Permission to plant, remove, and change banners is set using the Guild Management tool.
“ | Placing a banner requires 12 guildmates to be in the same zone within 150 distance units from the player planting the banner. If they're too far away, they will not be able to place the banner. | ” |

Duration
Once a banner is planted, it will last indefinitely if there is at least one guild member in the zone. Otherwise it will disappear one hour after all group members leave the zone. The banner can also be removed via a button control in the guild management window if you have the proper permission.
