Faction Base - Leveling to Kirin Lv3

edited March 2011 in General Discussion
Has any other faction attempted to upgrade to Kirin Lv3 yet? We have just gotten our guild base to Level 6 and have 2 points in Pheonix and 2 Points in Kirin. We have 1 Tech Point to spend, however, when we try to spend it, it says "Insufficient Tech Points".

Anyone have any information on this? There is nothing in the in-game help which explains why we would be prevented from spending this tech point in the Kirin.

Thanks.

    There is a minimum lvl req for the higher lvl buildings.

    THis is the req's for each lvl (this one's for kirin/Hall of Loyalty, but they'rl all the same exept for the mats).

    now the thing need is Max lvl. It's a typo, and actually is the min lvl. So you need base lvl 6 to be able to upgrade any of the buildings to lvl 4 (kirin 3 means Monolith 4)

    Yeah, we have a base of level 6 already. We have Kirin lv2 which means in order to upgrade the Monolith in the Hall of Loyalty to level 4 we need Kirin level 3. We cannot take Kirin level 3 from the Faction Cosmo screen, it says "Insufficient Tech Points" even though we have 1 Tech Point to spend.

    I think you're ahead of all factions on Sanc.
    Perhaps the structures take 2 tech points past level 3? Likely lots is translated poorly so don't make any assumptions on how things will work.

    Have fun sailing uncharted waters and please add whatever you learn to the wiki.

    Our base is still level 5 on Sanc, with 2 points in Phoenix and 2 points in Kirin. It's quite odd to not be able to get level 3 Kirin with 1 more tech point.

    It's probably either one of two things.

    a) You need 2 tech points

    or

    b) There is an unsaid pre-requisite for Kirin 3, such as maybe upgrading a different wing first

    mhm not sure, maybe you need to have level 1 of everything else at least in order to upgrade Kirin more? Though there is nothing that suggests that so I don't know.

    considering most of the time ppl are complaining they cant turn in mats to base (mainly archers and clerics) its kinda hard to NOT lv up phoenix <.<

    on RT our base is still lv5 with same as every1 2 points in kirin and 2 in phoenix b:chuckle

    I'm pretty sure the mat limit goes up to 10k at base level 5 on its own.
    the vault is still nice for the arrows :)

    Any progress here or more information?

    We're at the same stage you are, base is level 6 and we have 2 points into 2 different areas (not the same). Are you waiting to get a 2nd point or did you just choose another area to upgrade?

    Also, what do you think are some of the "best" benefits of the different upgrade paths. Upgrading Hall of Loyalty seems rather obvious, but after that, what items or features are you finding the most useful or attractive?

    What did all of you do at Guild Base Level 6? Did you have to invest points in a 3rd wing? Anyone to Guild Base L7 yet? Can you raise anything to 4 at that point?

    I have chosen to keep the point in reserve so I can see what happens at base level 7 with the tech points. I also have an open ticket with the support staff...we'll see what happens. I will post as soon as I either figure it out or get a response.

    Opening a support ticket is almost comical. Here's the response to my ticket regarding starting the 40v40 wars:

    Unfortunately, we do not have any detailed information for in-game content available. For this situation, you'll need to refer to other website guides or other players in-game or on the forums. We currently have several threads available on this topic where you can refer to.

    And the link is to a thread I started at the same time as I submitted the support ticket.

    Not surprising, to be honest. 99% of everything in PW is left up ultimately to the player(s). Each patch put into the game, generally has a ton of things not posted/translated and put into the Patch Notes. Ultimately, it's up to the players. Sadly, I didn't even realize that 40vs40 wars weren't implemented until I hopped on the forums today, and read that thread. Our faction hasn't had any wars, but I had suspected it was due to leveling up our base quickly, and waiting/holding off on the battles. Guess not, lol.

    Okay, so we just upgraded our guild up again and got another tech point. It cost us 2 Tech Points to level Kirin to level 3. I am not sure if this is because our other things are all at level 0 or not.

    If anyone else tries it a different way with different results please let me know. Looks like this will be done by trial and error just like Nirvana was :(

    Mmm... if it costs so many tech points to upgrade the Monolith that may leave very few points left over for the other structures. Maybe investing too much in monolith isnt that great... especially when there is no 40vs40.

    We also couldn't get level 3 kirin with level 6 base. Guess we're going with better base buffs, since there's no 40v40 atm. Unless higher level base gives more tech points... You're going to fall short of being able to upgrade all structures to level 8.

    I'd rather not waste 2 base levels in 1 wing <.<.

    Yeah they start to take more than 1 tech point to upgrade.

    But when base reaches lvl 10+ you I think you start getting 2 tech points per lvl.

    How do you know this? Do you know if the level cap is really 15?

    Also for those considering what to do, you should be aware that the level IV hall of loyalty increases the reward from 120 to 144. This will help you reach the next level, but at the end of the day with no 40v40 as some people have pointed out we have to start to question what the guild base is for.

    I am probably going to start leveling the other wings in our guild base just so that people can see what they do and use them more.

    As always, we will update you with more information as we get there.

    Hm Elayne is that Faction Monolith IV? Or Kirin 3/4?

    Faction Monolith IV requires Kirin 3. Faction Monolith I doesn't require any tech points, so it's always 1 Kirin less than the Structure level.

    Yea, I know that but I wasn't sure if he meant Hall of Loyalty IV as Kirin or Faction Monolith.
