Maple Tree

 (楓の木) is a guild that was founded by Maple and Sally shortly after the appearances of the third floor and the Guild system. They are quite infamous in the in-game world of NewWorld Online, noted by many to have abnormal qualities that bring them far above those who play normally.

Per-Guild
Maple began game breaking and powering up to riduculous extremes, all due to the fact she was ignorant of how video games in general worked and kept acquiring skills meant for higher leveled players (all due to her sheer dumb luck). This lead to her winning third place in the First Event, thanks in part to the dimwittedness of the other players trying to attack her despite being heavily outclassed by her armor skills. Maple later formed a party with her best friend Sally, whom likewise got an impressive character build and armor set from sheer luck. By the time of the Second Event, the two were equally powerful as regula-sized parties. This lead to them taking down an meant-to-be impossible to beat boss, obtaining two seceret rare pets before the event for them came into play.

Founding
During the time Kaede was readjusting to real life after multiple embarrassing situations at school, the game introduced a number of updates, one of which was the chance for players to create their own Guilds. Risa managed to acquire a golden medal after the Guilds were added into the game in order to purchase a guild home of their own.

After logging in, Maple was informed of the changes during her three-day break, and unsurprisingly, she became excited as she and Sally went on to search for a new guild home. In the anime, their base is shown as a tree with a hollow interior, complete with wooden walls, floors and furniture.undefined In the web novel, not much is described about their guild house, but it was explicitly stated that it was far away from the city.

Functions
The guild home allows for a maximum of fifty members inside it. Also, as purchasing a guild home provides accesses to the home on each floor, Maple Tree can access their guild home in different floors presumably without effort.

In the web novel, Sally and Maple took Mai and Yui to their guild home on the first floor and talked there. This scene is changed in the anime, changing the place of the guild home to the cafe they ate in instead. Regardless once again, after accepting their request, the four made their way to the guild home on the third floor.undefined

Events
Though the guild was not yet established, Maple, Kasumi, and Chrome all ranked in the top ten during the first event.

During the second event, Maple and Sally defeated Silverwing, a boss near-impossible to beat; even the developers noted that NO-ONE was ever supposed to beat it. Granted this nearly did kill them, with only Maple's recently aquired skill saving them.

Before the third event, the guild was established and Maple Tree was easily able to acquire the highest ranked guild reward for their efforts and hard work. The guild ranked into the top ten in the fourth event.

Current Benefits
All members have a bonus of [STR]+3% from the prize they won in the third event. It is mounted on the wall of prizes inside their guild house, which resembles a cow's head.

Trivia

 * None of the Guild have met IRL except Maple and Sally.
 * Maple Tree may have the least members of the highest ranked Guilds, but they are more than a match for the Flame Emperors and Holy Swords.
 * Even after the Seventh Event, the guild hasn't grown in membership.
 * Considering the footage of the Fourth Event showed most of the members are one person armies, it gave off the chilling idea Maple Tree is full of powerful eccentrics; unintentionally making them feared, as no one knows what Maple does to get such insane power ups.
