Woot woot!!! I'll be on again later tonight for more harvestation.

(flips on sarcasm switch)

w00t! So instead of +12hp from the keep, we now get +24 (.2 or something)! I wonder if the bonuses stack! If so, my Guardian's going to be some leet tanker!

(sarcasm off)

In all seriousness, I want a Tier 3 city as much as the next guy. This is awesome and keep up the good work!

And Nixon the machine just keeps rolling along. Let's see if we can't help carry the load!

Shoal, figure about 200 commons to a rare, IMO. You get over 300, and the rng is urinating in your breakfast cereal. I remember farming nearly 200 ash, and that one was the worst.

I have donated a few granite from time to time, you can tell when I am doing it, because my stupid lame ass is spamming up the guild channel.

Do we have active armor/weaponsmiths? I was thinking about smithing, but if we have someone already, I'd purchase ingredients if I knew what to get and who to give.

Oh yeah, Eason. You were on last weekend - HoX, I think?
As a level 67, maybe what you can craft at level 70 is worth a look! Can you link a lazy DT to the recipes? Do you have suggestions for what I would want to set within as the gems?
The sites I have visited so far show level 50 armors, only for tier 2. It looks like t3 is 60th, and 5 is 75th? But maybe you can make t5-? with a t2 workshop?

It seems like the better item needs a rare drop (Aurichalcum and Platinum and Illustrium, etc for the items I looked at ) kind of a cool system!
It looks like this Sunsteel Tasset L60 needs Illustrium, whereas Bluesteel Tasset L75 needs Platinum.

Sorry, edited my numbers, it is a bit clearer now - I think wikia doesn't have all the recipes. Missing heavy armor for T4, I believe.

Shoal just cheat it's so not worth trying to mine that crap. All you need is three rare drops which for the lower tiers we should have plenty of each. you put them in your bank and make 3 stacks of one out of them than place them in your bag on top of each other and when you get the third one stacked in your bag you will get the complete. Hand it in than bring the rest back to the guild bank.

I would be more than happy to mail or trade what you need from the bank.

So we are almost done all the tier 2 buildings. Just two left. Huzzah! My sub is up on the 20th of this month, and my main focus before I took a break was to try and get the tier 2 buildings up for everyone. Seeing as that is almost complete, I could try to gain my Tier 3, but chances are we would probably only get enough resources to upgrade the Keep before my time is. However we could also get at least the tier 1 walls up, all of them. I think that would make the city look pretty sweet.

What does everyone think?

As for me, well I will probably come back if they can get some interesting new content. There just isn't much happening right now. If they manage to pull something out of their ass last minute I may even stick around another month we'll see.

I think we can get T2 walls and a T3 keep by the 20th.

There are at least 4 people with the same rank as guild leader. I'm still subscribed but working 75+ hours a week is killing my freetime a bit. I've asked many times for volunteers for someone to step up to lead the thing but no one ever does.

I just founded it because I hit 20 first

Give me a list of 3 to 5 active and interested players and we'll have a mini council to count on.

By the way, Im Dolzer ingame

Oh god yes we really need a few higher ranking members, like 3 or so people who can run the guild. I don't even have the highest level of access either, and from what I can tell I can not level anyone up to my level which is required to access the guild bank.

Update: We only have one workshop left for all tier 2 buildings. I have everything we need for the building except for Granite, and Yew. 1100 granite and 500 Yew should cover it.

As many of you may already know my subscription ends on the 20th and I had planned on taking a break. I wanted to give Funcom a chance to get their sh*t together and come back when things looked interesting again. My original intention before taking a break was to just get the Tier 2 buildings up so people could advance their trades and I am happy to say people have been very helpful in getting that goal achieved. Since the announcement of my departure however, several people have expressed interest in getting all the Tier 3 buildings up.

So here's the deal. I could be convinced to stick around a little longer, but it would mean everyone involved in the guild and still playing would need to commit some time in helping get the city developed. Tier 3 is a huge undertaking, and even though we have a crazy machine in Nixon he can't do it alone. We would literally need to collect tens of thousands of materials to complete the buildings, and we would need people to contribute gold for the plans. If we also want to finish tier 1 walls and go so far as to get them upgraded to tier 2 we would need hundreds of gold coin to get all the plans we would need, and even more tier 2 materials.

This is not an ultimatum or a comment on the level of commitment our guild members have, nor is it a back handed way of saying people have not been helping enough. I think we have a great bunch of people, who have helped the guild a great deal. I just want to make sure that people are really interested in getting the Tier 3 stuff up, because it is going to take a lot of effort. I don't want people to leave the game because it ends up feeling like work, playing games should be fun. So it's up to you guys, if by the 20th we are making great progress on the Tier 3 buildings, than I will stick around to get it done. If not we'll hopefully get it done sometime later.

For anyone interested in exactly how much is needed to get a tier 3 city complete check the link at the top of thread. There is a breakdown of all the materials needed for each level of city.

As far as recruiting is concerned, they would have to be willing to join the GWJ community and say hello in one of the AoC threads. That's the way it's been from the start. It's not like they have to post all the time but they should be familiar with the site and know what we are about.

That would be a good guild slogan

I hopped on last night to hand out a few promotions. Lafrete has the power to do everything now and hopefully he can help me select a few others. I still have no volunteers or nominated folks

T3 needs a ton of resources. However I see a ray of light. I was in there fighting with everyone who was, I don't know +50 and I still brought in a decent amount to help finish T2.

We have plenty of 70 plus members and no-one is touching those T3 nodes FOR NOW. We could get deep into T3, if we want to. This is our window To build something to come back to. I think we can do it.

As a 70th I just got my tier 3 assignments last night. I shall endeavour to make the Saint proud. Or at least not look on me with disdain. Well... just not a lot of disdain. So, you know, he /r to my /t.
