Guilds in Dark Age of Camelot further a character's career choice. All characters in the game initially start out as a generic class: Mage, Fighter, Rogue, or Cleric. At fifth level, all characters choose a guild that will send them on their specific career. Some Guilds allow different Classes to join, some allow only one.

Additionally, most guilds have Specialization tracks that members can choose to take advantage of at higher levels. For example, the Circle of Wizardry has an optional Fire and Ice specializations available to member Wizards. Upon reaching a high enough level in one or the other, the Mage will then be invited to go on special quests to attain spells, robes, and other items and skills that are available only to specialists. Most Guilds offer at least two specialization tracks.
