A character can only ascend in guild level standing in a guild which he or she is member of.

To become member of a guild in which you are not normally eligible for membership you must perform the guild-hopping trick. That is you must start training to become a role for which membership is possible in the guild of which you want to become a member. Then pay the entrance fee there and go back to the other guild and cancel your training. For example: You are a ranger who wants to become member of the Bushi Dojo, but the role of ranger does not allow that. You then go to the warrior guild and start samurai training. Then you go to the dojo where you cen now become member. Once you have joined the dojo you go back to the warrior guild and click the samurai training icon to terminate your samurai training. You are now a bushi dojo member and a ranger. This trick works in both the patched and the unpatched versions of the game.

To increase guild level standing fast you can exploit the multiple ascension bug. This bug ONLY works in the unpatched game. Once you are about to complete a quest you enter the guild in question and start switching the role of lead character between the character whose guild level you want to raise and another character in the party. You switch them by clicking on their icons and you must do it fast before the guildmaster ends his speech. You must then wait until he finishes all of the speeches he has begun. He will repeat the same sentence many times after each other but you must let him finish although it can take quite a bit. Once he is done the character will have raised his guild standing by as many times as he has been the lead character.
