Hiro Mashina's hit manga series Fairy Tail became a long-running anime of the same name, and it gets its name from the Fairy Tail guild, the strongest and most popular guild in the nation of Fiore. Most of Fairy Tail's main characters belong to the Fairy Tail guild, and there is even an alternate version of this guild in the world of Edolas.
The guildmaster, Makarov Dreyar, welcomes many new recruits to the guild, and newcomers are soon treated like cherished family, such as Juvia Lockser, Wendy Marvell, and even Gajeel Redfox. These newcomers soon learned just how many perks there are to joining this particular guild, and the Fairy Tail guild offers some perks that no other guild can provide.
10 New Members Are Treated Like Family
This is one of the biggest and most heartwarming perks of joining the Fairy Tail guild. In fact, this particular perk is one of the guild's most defining traits. Veteran and rookie members alike are treated like family in the Fairy Tail guild, with everyone being seen as a brother or sister in arms.
Some Fairy Tail guild members actually are family, such as the lightning dragon slayer Laxus Dreyar being Makarov's grandson, plus the three Strauss siblings, with Mirajane Strauss being the oldest and strongest of the three.
9 New Recruits Are Forgiven For Their Past Wrongs
Makarov Dreyar wouldn't recruit unforgivable villains to the Fairy Tail guild, such as the thuggish Jiemma Orlanda or the bitter Jose Porla, but he will consider recruiting wizards who performed villainous deeds but aren't true villains deep down.
Gajeel Redfox once belonged to Phantom Lord, and he tormented the heroine Lucy Heartfilia and even the bookish Levy McGarden. But he changed his ways and regretted his actions, so Makarov welcomed him to the guild. Gajeel repaid that favor by fighting and risking his life for a newer, better cause.
8 The Guild Is In A Pleasant City
The Fairy Tail guild doesn't have the benefit of being located in the bustling capital city of Crocus, unlike the vicious Saberbooth guild, but Magnolia is still a wonderful place to build a guildhall. Since the Fairy Tail guild is located in Magnolia, that city was the first setting to be explored in the Fairy Tail anime.
Magnolia is like an idyllic European city with some fantasy elements added, and it also has some canals, which might remind viewers of the city of Venice. Magnolia also has the benefit of being located on the coast, making it easier to ship cargo and people to and from the city.
7 Fairy Tail Has A Good Reputation
There are many wizard guilds, with small and weak ones being fairly obscure and others being large and well-renowned. Popular guilds are more likely to receive lucrative job requests all across the nation of Fiore, and the Fairy Tail guild has spread its good name all across the land.
Joining the Fairy Tail guild can make a wizard a minor celebrity, and having this reputation allows the wizard to more easily accept lucrative missions and even influence other people. The people of Fiore will take any Fairy Tail guild member seriously, even a new recruit.
6 Fairy Tail Guild Members Have Allies In Other Guilds
The Fairy Tail guild can do a lot of good on its own, but even Fairy Tail members need help sometimes, so they can turn to friendly guilds for assistance on especially difficult missions. This was the case for the Oracion Seis arc, for example, when the Fairy Tail guild fought alongside members of the Blue Pegasus guild.
New Fairy Tail members can rest assured that even if their guild is stretched thin, they can call upon allies from the Blue Pegasus guild or perhaps even the Lamia Scale guild from time to time, if those guilds have wizards to spare. It pays to play nice with others and build diplomatic ties.
5 The Guildhall Can Be Easily Rebuilt Under Most Circumstances
From time to time, the Fairy Tail guildhall itself will come under attack, not just the guild's members, and Lucy and her friends were dismayed to return from Galuna Island only to find the guildhall smashed apart with giant iron rods courtesy of Gajeel and Phantom Lord.
The good news is that the Fairy Tail guild has the money and resources needed to rebuild its guildhall relatively quickly, and there was a time when almost everyone took part in the construction process to rebuild their home right away. The exception was when the guild fell on hard times after the Tenrou Island arc.
4 The Fairy Tail Guild Has Many Strong Members In Its Ranks
Most major guilds have powerful wizards in their ranks, such as Minerva Orland, who belongs to Sabertooth, or the icy Lyon Vastia in Lamia Scale. However, the Fairy Tail guild has more elite wizards to its name than any other guild, even Sabertooth. Most of Fiore's powerhouses are concentrated in Fairy Tail.
Makarov himself can be counted among these top-tier wizards, and the mighty Gildarts Clive counts, too. Then there are the likes of Erza Scarlet the swordmaster and Laxus Dreyar, each of whom can take on entire platoons of hostile wizards and win with ease. New recruits can take comfort, knowing that S-ranked wizards will back them up in battle.
3 Fairy Tail Recruits Might Learn Fairy Law Or Fairy Sphere
Wizards use all sorts of diverse magic in major guilds like Fairy Tail and Sabertooth, but new recruits to the Fairy Tail guild can use more than their own magical talents. They might also earn the right to learn certain spells, such as Fairy Law, Fairy Glitter, and Fairy Sphere.
Such spells are massively powerful, and Fairy Law can crush all perceived enemies within a large radius. These abilities are unique to the Fairy Tail guild, and new members can benefit from either an ally using them or actually learning these spells for themselves.
2 Mavis Vermillion Can Still Lead The Guild
Over a century ago, a bright girl named Mavis Vermillion escaped servitude from the Red Lizard guild on Tenrou Island and explored the world before founding the Fairy Tail guild with three adventurers she had befriended. Later, Mavis suffered the curse of Ankeseram, and her body was encased in a crystal underneath the Fairy Tail guildhall.
Mavis can project her image elsewhere to interact with Fairy Tail's current members, and even provide tactical input with her sharp mind. That's what she did during the Grand Magic Games tournament, and Fairy Tail veterans and recruits alike can benefit from her leadership.
1 Fairy Tail's Guildhall Has A Relaxing & Comforting Atmosphere
The Fairy Tail guild not only has a fancy guildhall and strong members in its ranks, but it also has a comforting and luxurious interior, too, where anyone can feel at ease. Inside the guildhall, there is plenty of room for all members to take a seat and have a fine meal or a few drinks, such as beer on tap.
The guildhall is almost like a hotel or an upscale restaurant, and this cozy atmosphere can help any new member feel at ease. In particular, Mirajane Strauss often volunteers as a cheerful barmaid and waitress when she's not on a mission, and that makes her incredibly popular. This is an excellent welcome for any new recruit.
