Free Company Standing

[Shirana]

So after googling and forum searching I couldn't find an answer to my question so I'll just ask here z.z Only thing I found was the same reposted information and FC recruitment threads lol

How do you earn Standing in Free Companies with the Grand Companies? The only source of information I found on this said you have to have members belonging to GC in your FC (and not any form of details on that either, like if it's limited to certain actions from said players). But this is simply confusing. My Free company is a third of the way to Rank 5. Only me and my wifey have ever been in it beyond the nice people we asked to help us create it and leave minutes later like two months ago with Maelstrom as our GC. I belong to Twin Adder and she belongs to Immortal Flames. So if that was true our standing should never have made it past Neutral and be just shy of reaching level 4 standing with Maelstrom. We noticed from leveling our standing the cost of company actions dropped so we would like to reach the highest standing with Maelstrom for the cheapest prices on actions. But we don't know how our standing is even increased to begin with lol. So does anyone know?


Edit:

I think OP meant this.

And as far as I know, it's set based on where your guild master first started the FC.

And as to how you increase or what benefits, no idea.

^ this is what we mean.
