Im back for round 2 of Guild Challenges. (I do hope my guide in AC:B helped you.)
You will have to play a little while into the game before the challenges unlock but that won't take long.
And as before a list of all the challenges will be below, As well as what they unlock. In my opinion I do think that the thieves are the easiest to complete, and you have to unlock their ability for an achievement anyways.

Assassins Guild

Set 1
-Call assassins during a fight (25)
-Call assassins on a target (20)
REWARD: Assassins will be more effective when sent on missions.
Every mission starts with 10% chance of success.

Set 2
-Use Arrow Storm (20) (Requires 6 assassins)

Set 2

-Kill a Byzantine Almogavar (25) (I can't find a picture, but they are the large armored men with heavy weapons)
-Perform a Hook and Throw (10) (Does not work on Janissaries. To do this, run at a guard and push "B" when near them)

Set 3
-Perform a Double Assassination (10) (Find groups of 4 guarding a place and come from behind)
-Kill 5 guards in under 10 seconds in melee (1) (A good place for this is the same place as Mosh Pit)
-Perform a combo kill streak of at least 5 kills (10) (The city "Cappadocia" appears to not count for this, try Seq 4 Memory 3)
-Kill an Ottoman Janissary (25) (These guys)

And also in the Challenge section are Bomb challenges and Starlight126 tells me that these will also unlock this achievement but there is an achievement(Pyromaniac) that requires bomb missions to be done and these are not needed for that.

Set 1

Kill a mission target with a bomb (1) (The mission Piri Reis: Datura will get you this)

REWARD: Extra bomb ingredients found within Dens.
This Doubles how many chests are in your Dens.

Set 2

I was originally going after the Romanies Guild on this one as it seemed less time intensive. That is until I got the achievement for leveling 7 Assassins to Master Assassin.
What wasn't mentioned in any guide (or even the game) is that the game considers the 7 Master Assassins as 3 Den Defense Wins (don't ask me why this is but I cleared the challenge exactly when i cleared the Master Assassin Challenge). I think the challenge is just given out because once you have the 7 Master Assassins, you can no longer do Den Defense. At the time of winning this challenge I had only 1 Den Defense win... and it was the tutorial level.

The remaining challenges are for the Assassin Guild are:
Call 25 Assassins during a fight.
Call 20 Assassins on a target.
Use Arrow Storm 15 times.
Call your Assassins within a story mission 5 times. (Doesn't have to be the same story mission 5 times).
Recruit 12 Assassins`
Train 7 Master Assassins

If you are anything like me, you use your Assassins often enough to make most of these challenges just happen organically. Which makes this achievement sort of a cake walk.

Just a small time saving tip for part of the challenges. I was originally going for the assassins guild challenge but could not figure out how to get rid of an assassin to recruit one more.

So I focused on the thieves guild challenges. but this trick should work for any of the factions. I got tired of running around trying to find thieves to buy since once you do they don't re-spawn until you go far enough away and come back. I made a thieves guild by the armory and there is a tunnel very close by, but you could use anywhere as long as there is a tunnel close. That location also had guards paroling right next to the thieves.

Buy the thieves tag a guard and tell them to distract the guards. go to the tunnel select any other location, come right back, the thieves will be back and the guards actually spawn directly across from them rinse, repeat and the use "faction of your choice" on guards 15 times part of the challenges should go much faster.

Hope this helps. If you leave negative feedback please say why.
