I have “venerable status”. What does that get me?
Holy moly, you’ve been with us for a long time; thank you for all your support! <3 You’ll have some extra expanded limits not reflected on this page, but you can check your membership page to view them.
How do I get "venerable status"?
The venerable status was awarded to all users who were Guild members several years ago, when World Anvil used Patreon to manage subscriptions. There is no way for other accounts to get venerable status now.
