Guild hall upgrading

[Guest Blackheart]

This topic will keep track of our guild hall, upgrades that are being worked on and materials needed for doing so.

First, I would like to focus on building and upgrading a Workshop, which will give us two nice boosts that last for 24 hours. Once we unlock them, they will be free and applicable anytime.

These boosts are:

Critical crafting - means higher chance of receiving critical success when crafting, which means you save on materials and therefore you save on gold.

Critical harvesting - higher chance of critical success when you harvest from a node, which means extra materials.

Map bonus - means more loot.

By upgrading a workshop, we will also unlock various nodes for daily gathering in our guild hall (ore, plants, leather). Again, more loot = more money.

Materials needed currently: Vials of Linseed oil or flax seeds and Elonian leather squares.

If you wish to donate, you can speak to NPC (guild treasurer) right next to a central waypoint and donate directly to treasure. Treasure will only accept materials in certain forms. For example: Elonian leather square is a component made by bunch of different leather types. However, in order to build a workshop, we need Elonian leather squares among other thigns, so treasure only accepts that at the moment and won't accept the materials that Elonian leather square is made of. Same with Vials of Linseed oil, which are made from flax seeds. Treasure wants final product, which are Vials and won't accept just flax seeds.
Therefore, if you wish to donate just materials, instead of whole thing, which can be pricey, you can do so by putting materials into guild bank and not guild treasure.
So, in short - if you have Vials of linseed oil, put them in treasure, if you have just flax seeds, put them in guild bank.

Update 1: We have workshop now, which includes scribing station. Through scribing station you can access your guild bank and storage, which is the only way to do so in guild hall.

Now that workshop is built, we will focus on getting all the nodes upgrades for daily gathering and enchantments (boosts). There are many materials needed, so i'm not going to list them here. You can see them easily by visiting NPC by the workshop and ask him what can be upgraded and the list will pop up. Everything that is not highlighted is not yet upgraded. By clicking on any of the upgrades, list of materials needed will show up.

We also got general merchant now. It's a good way to avoid paying for waypoints. If you are out exploring and you need to empty bags or buy gathering tools or salvage kits, press "G" to open guild panel, click on "Guild hall" button, which is free of charge teleport to GH, buy or sell at merchant, click "Guild hall" button again and it will port you back to where you left of. So, basically, you have access to merchant for free.
