Aw, you guys are in pontain too?

Money starts coming in better when you reach 40 and start questing in the Fields of the Dead. You can get 20-50s in a day depending on how much you kill and quests you get completed.

How long are your days?

Field of the Dead has a merchant right in the middle of the zone, so its not that hard to get back to in order to clear out your inventory. And the mobs generally drop about 6-10 copper per kill. It reallys adds up after a while.

Mynari is nearing enough money for the horse/riding skill. Is money the only object holding the building back at this point?
If so, I'll donate some, I was just saving for my little conan pony (tm pending) since I'd like to get around faster than I currently am (700pt stamina pool as a PoM means not very much sprinting).

If money is not an immediate issue, I can probably get my mount/skill and start heavily contributing to funds afterwards.

Money's the only issue right now. It seems the resources have all been gathered. It looks like we need about 1.5 gold, give or take.

We had some people step up with significant donations of materials last night but the coin side really is a pinch. I put in nearly half of what we have atm (which was all my silver) and Dolzer put in a big chunk, too. Beyond that, there were some small silver donations that were greatly appreciated, too.

The reason I hesitate to announce key contributors is twofold. One, I would require me to track and make note of each donation. Two, it would require me to be there for every contribution. As it is now, I can be offline and people can put resources and money in the guild bank at their leisure. Beyond that, I have great trust that people will do what they are comfortable with and will donate as they can.

I don't think it's unreasonable to say, though, that those who do contribute will be given greater voice when I poll for suggestions on upgrades to come. Soon enough (I hope), some of the buildings constructed will give tangible benefits to players and membership. Class bonuses, crafting bonuses, etc. Hopefully, things like an Alchemist's Workshop will give additional recipes and advancements so if the guild alchemists want to pool together resources to make that happen, I think that would be great. Same with soldiers wanting to get together and come up with the materials to have a Barracks built early. Etc.

I would encourage players to tithe 5-10% of their earnings toward the Guild City, but I will not require it. At worst, if no one else every put a tin piece towards it, I'd find a way to eventually get us there on my own. Based on the early contributions in just our first night of having a Guild City in existance, I have every confidence that the support by our Goodjer community will be enough.

How's that for a long winded reply!

Dont remember where i posted it, but the complete gold cost for a Tier 1 city is like 170g. 150g of that is just on architect plans.

Plus i think Tkyl was telling me that to reach T2 Architect it will cost around 36g.

I just hit the Fields of Dead late last night, so hopefully you'll be seeing a big chunk of money from me in a day or two.

There doesn't appear to be any resource/fund tracking in AoC's Guild Bank, a la WoW. And yes, it would be nice if it is eventually added.

Again, thanks for all the continual contributions. And don't sweat the fact that I dumped my silver into this. I walked at the same speed as someone else's mount yesterday, so I am not losing any time on foot yet and I've really not much else I want to spend coin on. At least putting silver/gold to the Guild City has some visible, tangible effect!

I've read horses are bugged atm so they don't run faster. When they are fixed they WILL move significantly faster though.

This is a stupid question, but how do we donate the monies? Put it in the guild bank?

Again guys, the plan is to get the first few components of the city up and then put most of our guild resources into generating money for the guild (as in for the people of the guild) so we can all get mounts and a pool of resources we can pull from to craft if we choose to and continue to expand the city at a little slower pace.

If you want to donate for city expansion, drop in any amount you like. 10s per member would get us really far. If you’re close to getting your mount money go ahead and get it. If you’re nowhere near getting your mount, consider what you need your cash for, maybe drop more into the guild vault.

Same goes for resources. If you don’t have an immediate purpose for it, drop it in the guild bank. We’ll put it to good use and you’ll see the benefit shortly! I want our people decked out in gear they like, riding horses they like, having fun with the game. Its more important than having the biggest city possible as soon as possible. Its neither realistic, nor necessary.

We also need some amateur economists to check out the early market. There are some parts of the tradepost that are clearly broken, like resources not selling in stacks, just 1 at a time but there should be money to be had in items. Right now it looks like no item is selling for more than a few coppers but that should change soon. Hopefully level 40+ items will creep up towards a couple silver each, with blues being more. If that starts to happen we could reliably start selling items we find instead of vendoring them for a few C each.

Edit: To donate cash or resources, visit a Trader NPC which can be found in Conarch Village (Cimmeria), Old Tarantia (Aquilonia) and Kesia (Stygia), choose the Guild Vault tab and drop the stuff in.

The description of the Rhino is that it is faster than a Mammoth. I also ran side by side with a Mammoth that was faster than me, several days ago. Not faster than me sprinting, but faster than me normaly jogging.

Being only level 24 I don't have much coinage, but I'll certainly be donating to the guild. (Damn real life has been getting in the way. )

I need to figure out how to get to the resource trainers. I thought someone mentioned an easy way to get to the resource zone(s), but I forget. Anyone want to enlighten me again?

Thanks poly and everyone else who have been organizing and helping the guild out!
