So, you’ve finally hit AFK Stage 30 and unlocked guilds in AFK Journey! But wait… are you stuck in a guild that feels more like a ghost town? You’re not alone. Since the game’s launch, finding an active guild with open slots can feel like searching for a legendary hero. I remember joining my first guild, excited for the teamwork, only to find half the members hadn’t logged in for days. Sound familiar? Don’t worry, whether you’re looking for a more competitive crew or just a group that actually plays the game, switching guilds is simpler than you think. Let me walk you through the entire process, updated for 2026!
🔄 Step-by-Step: Leaving Your Current Guild
First things first, you need to make a clean exit. Here’s exactly what to do:
-
Navigate to the Guild Hub: From your main screen, tap the Guild button at the bottom. It’s usually represented by a shield or banner icon.
-
Head to the Members Section: Once inside the guild interface, look for the “Members” tab and select it.
-
Find the Exit Door: This is the part some players miss! You need to click the “More” button (often three dots
...or a settings gear) in the bottom-right corner of the Members screen. -
Confirm Your Departure: A menu will pop up. Tap the “Exit” option. The game will ask, “Are you sure you want to leave the guild?” – confirm your choice!
⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTE: As soon as you confirm, you’re out! But here’s the catch you must remember: you cannot join a new guild immediately. There’s a mandatory 30-minute cooldown period. Think of it as a brief “reflection time” before jumping into a new team. Use this time to browse potential new guilds!
🎯 How to Find & Join the PERFECT New Guild
Once your 30-minute cooldown timer is up, the real hunt begins. You don’t want to jump from one inactive guild to another, right?
Step 1: Access the Guild List
Go back to the main Guild button on your screen. Now, instead of showing your old guild, you’ll see a list of guilds recruiting new members.
Step 2: Evaluate Your Options (This is KEY!)
Don’t just join the first one you see! Check these critical factors:
| What to Check | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Activeness Level 🟢 | This is the #1 metric! A high Activeness score means members log in daily, contribute, and participate in events. Avoid low-activeness guilds if you’re serious about progression. |
| Open Slots đź‘Ą | Make sure they have space! The list usually filters this automatically. |
| Guild Level & Buffs ⬆️ | Higher-level guilds often have better passive buffs for your heroes. |
| Description/Requirements đź“ť | Some guilds state their playstyle (e.g., “Daily Players Only,” “Casual Welcome”). Find one that matches your vibe! |
Step 3: Consider a Friend’s Guild
If you have friends playing, check if their guild has an open slot! Playing with people you know can make the AFK Journey experience 10 times more fun. You can usually search for a guild by name or view friends’ guilds from their profile.
Step 4: Send that Join Request!
Found your ideal guild? Simply tap on it and hit the “Apply” or “Join” button. Some guilds require approval from a leader, while others let you in instantly if you meet the requirements (like a minimum Stage level).
đź’ˇ My Pro Tips for Guild Success in 2026
-
Be Patient: The 30-minute cooldown is a perfect time to research. Scroll through guild lists, check their stats, and decide what you really want. Is it top-tier raid rewards? Or a friendly, chatty community?
-
Don’t Be Shy to Leave (Again): Joined a guild that still isn’t active enough? Remember, you can always repeat this process. It’s your gaming experience—optimize it!
-
Contribute! Once you join a new guild, be an active member. Donate resources, participate in Guild Hunts and events. This helps everyone, including you, get better rewards.
-
Communication is Key: Use the in-game guild chat! Say hello, ask questions, coordinate for events. An active chat is the best sign of a healthy guild.
Leaving and joining guilds is a natural part of finding your perfect in-game family in AFK Journey. It’s all about finding a team that matches your activity level and goals. So, are you ready to ditch that inactive group and find your dream squad? Your 30-minute cooldown starts now! Good luck, and may you find a guild full of active, legendary heroes! ✨
