adding upgrades before getting a guildhall

[Sonja Teh Trapper.7012]

curious about adding upgrades before getting a guildhall? would it be safer to wait while raising for the guildhall

also will these upgrades be in there while working on tavern, mining etc while guildhall is building up

Good luck.

There is a guildhall for every guild, no matter if they have claimed a guildhall or not, the Guild Initiative Headquarters. This is where all guilds start their Guildhall claiming, but it has a few more functions.

 

On the bottom of the page you can see all the things that can be unlocked BEFORE claiming a guildhall:

 

> General Merchant

> Repair Anvil

> Guild Vault: Stash

 

That is not much. All those upgrades require Favor, which you obtain from Guildmissions and gold.

 

Unlocking the Merchant and Anvil does not really require any preparations, just 50 gold and 50 Favor. The only thing that could be interesting is the Guild Stash - that is the tier 1 guildbank with 50 slots.

 

Nowadays most people no longer bother with it, but "back in my age" (always wanted to use that term), people created private guilds and got themselves all three tiers. Costed a lot, but you did not have Guildhalls back then. What not many people realize today, getting tier 1 guildbank is still sort of easy to achieve. It costs basically 52 gold (2 for the registration) and participation in a few guildmissions. It takes some time for sure, but it can be done 100 % solo, if you know what to do.

- Treks: Easy and Medium can be soloed (if not too many JPs are in the list)

- Bounty: Easy can be soloed, just make sure you do your Guild Bounty when all other guilds do it, so you have uninvited company (Saturday evening is nice)

- Race: Find a map with 15/15 completion and 5+ minutes left in the timer. Start your race, complete one round. Finish early and you have it.

 

It takes a while. Depends a bit on your luck with the missions, but it can be done in 2-3 weeks. That does look horrible indeed. But you barely use 20 minutes each week, which is totally acceptable.

 

And that is it. Everything else requires obtaining a Guildhall first. That means 100 g for the claim and assembling a group of heroes to claim it. Once paid you have infinite tries to claim it. Last night I joined a random group that formed in LFG, we have been 7 ppl and had no real problem at all. Don't be shy. Just make sure to bring at least one friend, because people tend to join such a LFG request more likely if there is already a person in the squad. No one wants to be number one ^^.

those are very helpful in knowing that for starting a guild. so if i add elderwood planks an such it would not take away from building upgrades?

Placing things into the Guild Vault/Stash does not add them toward any upgrades - the Guild Treasury (what's used for upgrades) is completely separate.

 

The Guild Vault is really just like your normal Bank, except it's shared between everyone in the guild that has the right permissions.

 

The Guild Treasury is a special "storage" that only accepts items that currently available upgrades need. Nothing can be reclaimed out of this.
