Guilds at Rank 8

relkindx

Any guilds out there that already have a Guild Hall rank 8 and a Marketplace Rank 4. My guild is moving slowly to this but isn't quite there yet. I'm hoping to buy some armor and I'm already maxed out on my seals and fangs. I don't want to leave my guild permanently, but perhaps you'd be willing to let me join for a day to spend some of my seals and fangs on dragon flight armor. I'd be willing to make a "donation" to your coffer or guild bank as a convenience fee.

I'm not sure that this is even possible yet.

Its not possible, the highest any guild can achieve at the moment is Rank 6, assuming there is little to no delay in upgrade, rank 8 guilds could be seen in about 2 weeks time.

Asterdahl addressed this issue here:

I just wanted to give you all a heads up, that we are aware there is currently not much to do with dragon fangs if you have hit the cap of 50 and have not yet built a rank 4 marketplace. As such, with the upcoming PvP release, we will be adding additional outlets for you to spend your fangs, including items that don't require seals of the protector. (Equipment pricing and marketplace rank requirements will not be adjusted.)

Pretty sure because of build times 8 wouldn't be possible at all. My guild only has Rank 5 under construction, though i think we're doing pretty well all things considered...

Is rank 8 the goal or did I read somewhere that it was going to take rank 16?

kvet

Pretty sure 20 is the max for all buildings.

Depends on what your goal is. If your goal is Dragonflight/Lionsmane, then Guild Hall rank 8 and Marketplace rank 4 is the target. For the new artifact gear, I've seen the rumour that Guild Hall 16 is required to unlock the artifact salvager... however, since I have not seen anything official from a developer about this, it is, as far as I am concerned, only an unfounded rumour until such a time as a guild reaches the actual level required and informes the community, or a developer lets us all know.

Hi everyone, thanks to this post we identified an unfortunately ambiguous statement in collections. Collections mentions "Stronghold Rank 8," this is an artifact of a time when on preview the guild hall had half as many ranks (though required the same amount of materials and time as the current 20 ranks do.)



Unfortunately this means that "Stronghold Rank 8" actually translates into "Guild Hall rank 16." This change will be reflected in collections with the same update that brings Stronghold PvP. To clarify, the amount of investment required to unlock this content has not been adjusted, however, the wording was unfortunately unclear and we apologize for the miscommunication in collections.

GH max rank is 20, other buildings max out at rank 10.

The Dev's have made a comment stating the quest for the Guild weapons is Guildhall rank 16 - In this thread here.

And max rank of structures is 10, except for Guild hall which has a max rank of 20.

Tell me about it, Mod 6 effing destroyed my guild, and then Mod 7 is guild related. So discouraging to see the requirements needed and know that my pre mod 6 guild would be sailing through these, instead we are struggling to get rank 2 GH started. Thanks mod 6.

If you haven't gotten to GH2, you may want to see if you can consolidate with other guilds. Check out the requirements, you are going to be forced to upgrade the support buildings as you go (wood, mining, farm, etc) even though you will not need the increased production they offer. It's going to be a grind.

Yeah, I'm thinking of combining 2 guilds with only around 60 or 70 ppl each I run into one (making the cloaks basically be two full guilds plus a farmer alt guild) instead. I think doing so will jumpstart the second guild... It's amazing that a casual guild with "only" 60 ppl would be struggling to get a GH to rank 3.

Depends on the people, I guess... I've currently got about 25 active players contributing and we've made it to GH L4... currently bottlenecked on the nearly 300k Tyranny Treasures needed to upgrade the Lumberyard.

Unfortunately, we've got some people "out" (case of IRL.. babies and marriages and whatnot), which has hurt us a bit... but I couldn't imagine what life would be like if half the accounts in the guild were all active and contributing... I'm certain the Tyranny Treasures bottleneck wouldn't be much of one.

We have 51 active accounts... I wouldn't say we are "struggling" to hit GH3, but it is taking time. Ready to go except for the influence, and we're just 15k away from that. With my 6 level 70s I can personally contribute 2400 a day if I push at it, more if I decide to use lower level alts. But it is going to be an ever-increasing grind, no doubt at all.

baronstragen

Yes. Julea hit the nail on the head. It just takes participation, which I've been lacking but I hope to make up for it soon. Sorry Julea. - Your fellow guild leader/muddler.

It's ok... I'll drag you along to duo No Sympathy as a punishment :P

We hit GH4 with less then 50 accounts and after we left a guild merger with GH 2 or 3 standing. It is doable, but a real pain in the ***. I would have loved the choice to restrict the playable accounts to a max of 50 for lower contribution. This way small guilds would not struggle that much and the bigger guilds would not be able to exploit it by ranking up a 'small' guild and switching to 150 accounts after their goal is reached.

I had 6 chars with maxed out seals, signs etc. I cleaned them out to reach GH 4 at this time (some of my friends did the same). To reach GH 4 or better would be an incredible grind for smaller guilds without long time players.

The numbers needed for sigificant boons etc are so high, it is impossible to get it done in the near future and if they dont upgrade the gear etc, it will be obsolete with the next Mod, exept for PvP players. Theiy will either have the boons and the runes or get crushed. Another way to bring progress and balance to the PvP part of the game.

I am building my guildhall level 2 at the moment. And it is only 1 account, me, doing it. I do have 16 characters but still it does take lots of time. So long as I can get my marketplace to level 2, I will be happy though.
