As further explained on the official game site, players are able to grow their guild and team by increasing the guild's rank. This can be done by accepting and clearing requests on the request board, deepening bonds with friends and upgrading the guild facilities.

For anyone who hasn't kept up with Fairy Tail, the original fantasy adventure manga (written and illustrated by Hiro Mashima) began in 2006 and was eventually adapted into an anime series in 2009. It focuses on Natsu Dragneel – a Dragon Slayer of the rowdy magician group known as Fairy Tail.
