How does the Boon system work?

j0shi82 · July 2015

Quick question to all the busy testers. Boons have a range of bonus they give. Is that dependent on the rank of the associated buildings?

Furthermore: How many boons is a guild able to get at best.

Thanks!

From what I can see on the structure list and Boon page:

There's 3 categories of Boons, (Offense, Defense, and Utility). Each building holds a boon in each category. There are 7 buildings but only 4 plots (That's all I see) to build them on. If ya build 4 Boon structures, eventually your guild will have 4 boons in each category but can only pick one in each group. They seem to be changable.....hopefully tomorrows Live Stream can answer that. Some boons don't become available until the structure reaches a certain level. The bonus grows with the level of the structures.

This is just a rough guesstimation but it should be in the soccer field.

Exactly Val, that' how things are in preview atm. You can build 4 structures out of 7 that brings 3 boons each (one per category) that are unlocked as the building grows up. As per now every guildmate can choose one each category of the boons unlocked (offense, defense, utility) . Only one at time (each category) can be active. Not sure if the choice of the 3 is structure related or completely free. I don't think my guild in preview can build those structures before mod goes live, so i cannot be sure.

Barrack and Stable is a must have.
For the 2 another spots? Hard to tell.
PVP guilds will surely chose differently.

j0shi82 · July 2015

Stable is not a must have for PVE. Mount Speed is not that important and classes that need Defense and ArPen already can stack it rather easy. I'd go Barracks, Explorers' Guild, Temple and Wizard's Workshop for PVE and Barracks, Stable, Temple (Siege Workshop) and Wizard's Workshop for PVP.

The PvP boons are built on different plots than the PvE Boon structures. They share plots with more resource production plots. So a PvP Guild could have 4 PvE Boons and 2-3 PvP Boons to play with.

Well then the choices ain't that hard after all. PVP need to add the Stable and that's it.
