    You can start doing guild challenges when you unlock the guild for it(Thief, Courtesan, Mercenary, Assassin). Each guild has a fast travel point right outside it that unlocks when you get the guild. Each guild has a board up that shows your progress with the challenges of the guild it's in, you can also look at your progress in the DNA sequence menu all the way on the right side.

    Assassin's Guild
    25 Assassins signaled during a fight.
    15 Arrow storms.
    20 Assassin recruits signaled to kill a target. (You cant be fighting when calling assassins for this one)
    5 Assassin recruits signaled within a core memory. EASY
    5 Recruits raised to the rank of assassin. (3500 exp needed for each assassin)

    Mercenaries Guild
    10 Mercenary groups sent to attack guards. EASY
    5 Scaffolds destoryed by thrown guards. (You are shown how to do this when you take over the first Borgia tower) EASY
    25 Brutes killed. (Large armored guards)
    25 Papal guards killed. (Armored guards with guns that are at the Vaticano district)
    25 Guards killed while on horseback (The guards have to be on horseback and they had to have spawned on the horse, guards that get on an empty horse do not count when you kill them.) HARD
    10 Guards on horseback air assassinated.
    10 Double assassinations. (Requires dual hidden blades)
    5 Guards disarmed and killed with their own weapons. (Counter a guard when using hands) EASY
    5 Kill 5 guards within 10 seconds.
    10 Streaks of at least 5 kills.

    Courtesan's Guild
    10 Courtesan groups sent to distract guards. EASY
    10 Enemies evaded using the crowd and other hide spots.
    20 Enemies stationed at guard posts killed using the crossbow without being detected. (This requires the guard to stand with his arms crossed, not talking to other guards, best place sequence 6 memory 2, this is also a great spot for sending all 3 groups against guards as the area already has mercenaries spawning and an empty faction building) HARD (Because the guards stop being at guard posts after you beat the game)
    10 Horses belonging to guards commandeered without killing the rider.
    5 Dead bodies hid in well or haystacks. EASY
    15 Guards poisoned. (Requires poison, darts work best)
    20 Guards killed during a smoke bomb attack.EASY
    10 Guards assassinated from behind. EASY
    5 Guards assassinated from blend spots.

    Thieves Guild
    10 Thief groups sent to lure guards. EASY
    1 Sprint uniterrupted for 300 meters. (The area outside the collesuem is rather empty from things to run into) EASY
    20 Jumps from a horse to a beam. (When doing the jump Ezio has to do a spin when he grabs the beam for it to count) HARD
    40 Leaps of faith. (Find a area that you can leap off of close to the ground to make this easy, i suggest going for this after the game is completed so you will have several leaps already done.)
    1 Perform a dive from a height of 25 meters. (Can be done from the top of the Assassin's guild on Tiber Island) EASY
    250 Florins pickpocketed EASY
    1 Glide a cumulative total of 500 meters with the parachute. (Jumping from the top of the large building in the Vaticano district works good) HARD (To get the parachute you have to complete all of Leonardos missions)
    25 Guards killed with a ranged weapon. (Crossbow works best, has more ammo) EASY
    5 Guards air assassinated from a beam.

    When you complete about half of a guilds challenges, you will get a guild crest for you hideout. When you complete all the challenges you get: Altair's sword (Assassins), Maria's dagger (Courtesan), Bartolomeo's axe (Mercenaries), and La Volpes bite (Thieves).

    Ashen SeraphMight also be worth mentioning that hired factions gain new skills when the crest is acquired. Courtesans get the ability to distract guards on horses. Thieves on the other hand get a pickpocket ability. No clue about the Mercs, sorry.

    mooglessthat sounds like the factions ability in revelations, if it is mercs push beggars away.

    This achievement requires you to complete any 10 guild challenges from any of the 4 game factions (Assassins, Mercenaries, Courtesans, Thieves). These challenges are listed on the boards in the faction compounds (unlocked as you play through Sequence 3) and in your DNA (start menu, DNA, Guild Challenges).

    These are the challenges I found the easiest:

    Assassin Faction: 20 Assassin Recruits signaled to kill a target.
    Once you recruit some assassin recruits, just press LB near any guard. This ability has a short cooldown, so combine with other challenges for speed.

    Mercenaries Faction: 10 Mercenary groups sent to attack guards.
    This is the classic hire/direct faction action (press Y near a group to hire, press Y near a guard to have them attack). The plus with Mercenaries is that they usually win, so if you hang around (and maybe help out) you don't have to keep rehiring groups of Mercenaries.

    Courtesans Faction: 10 Courtesan groups sent to distract guards.
    Same as the Mercenaries above, but a group of Courtesans can only be used once.

    Courtesans Faction: 10 Horses belonging to guards commandeered without killing the rider.
    Travel to the Antico region of Rome and run around hijacking (press B) guards on horses, there are plenty. You can even hijack and get off, then let the guard get back on (horsemen archetypes will tend to do that), and then hijack again.

    Courtesans Faction: 5 Dead bodies hidden in wells or haystacks.
    Kill a bunch of guards (or have others do it for you), pick up their bodies (press B), and just drop their bodies into the nearest haystack/haycart/well (press B again). Repeat 5 times.

    Courtesans Faction: 10 Guards assassinated from behind.
    Works best with small groups of guards or guards on rooftop. Just run/walk up behind them and press X. Has to be a backstab, if they turn around it doesn't count.

    Thief Faction: 10 Thief groups sent to lure guards.
    Same as Courtesan distract, Mercenary attack, etc.

    Thief Faction: 1 Sprint uninterrupted for 300 meters.
    Go to the Antico region of Rome, hold down RT and A and press a direction, and just don't run into anything. Comes fairly quickly.

    Thief Faction: 40 Leaps of faith.
    Find a leap of faith (look for pigeons on the edge of a roof/wall) and jump into the hay. Repeat 40 times. Works best when you find a leap that has a ladder back to the top: There's one next to the water in the Centro district of Rome, south of Rosa in Fiore; another next to the Mercante D'Arte south of the Pantheon; a third at the Thieves' Guild in the southwest corner (credit to DesperadoRobert).

    Thief Faction: Perform a dive from a height of 25 meters
    Climb to the top of the Tiber Island Hideout -- you'll see a triangular viewpoint-style platform to jump from, but with water instead of hay to jump into. Jump toward the water (RT + A), then immediately press A to dive.

    Thief Faction: 250 f (Florins) pickpocketed
    Walk around a wealthy area (such as the Centro district near the bridge to Castel Sant'Angelo) and just walk around holding down the A button. You'll bump into people and take a small amount of money. Comes very quickly.

    Alternatively, you can get the above challenge immediately when you earn this DLC achievement:

    Assassin's Creed: BrotherhoodEasy Come, Easy GoThe Easy Come, Easy Go achievement in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood worth 9 pointsPay 500 florins to an orator, then pickpocket him afterward.


    There are also others that may suit your gameplay style -- 5 assassinations from blend spots, 5 kills with the victim's own weapon, 5 guards air assassinated from a beam, 25 guards killed with a ranged weapon. For me, those were a bit too reliant on specific circumstances; all 10 on my list can be done in most locations and at any time.

    zeno2kFor the pickpoket one... you can get it immediately where you're notoriety is hight enought to have heralds speaking about you. Approach one of them and corrupt him: 500 florins are gone, but you can pickpoket him immediately: done :)

    This is a supplement to moogless' suggestion:
    Here is a video that might help those going for the "20 Jumps from a horse to a beam" challenge from the Thieves Guild, courtesy of YouTube user 0verd0se142.
