Guild Discussion Options

[Sakiri]

When are we doing the next meeting? Ugh so tired I can't think.

[Acadian]

EU = first Monday each month so Jan 1 next week. NA = first Tuesday each month so Jan 2 next week. Both meetings start at 11:00 PM London time (I think that's midnight where you are?).

I only have an NA account so hope to see you this coming Tuesday!

[ghastley]

Time for EU meeting is negotiable. Especially on Jan 1st.

One thing we'll want to discuss is what Craftable Set is next to add to the Master Stations. I have the attunable tables, just need to go collect. We have the PvP ones from Cyrodiil and Imperial City, the quest-locked ones from Eyevea and Earth Forge, Coldharbour, Arteum, Tideholm, Mulkaldin, Clever Alchemist (which is inside No-Shira), The last one added was Aetherial Ascension, which is hard to reach down in Blackreach, but there wasn't a clear next candidate.

Possible candidates: Fortified Brass in Brass fortress' Reactor District; Twice-Born Star and Way of the Arena in Craglorn; Iron Flask in the Shambles; Deadlands or Apocrypha sets. Some of those take you through hostile regions and they all require access to a DLC or Chapter.

[Grits]

I will have houseguests all week, so it is very likely that I will miss our meetups. Have fun and happy adventures!

[Burnt Sierra]

Having recovered from the flu bug that meant I couldn't stay awake long enough for the last two in December, I'm looking forward to these

With the EU one being on New Year's Day, and Grits having houseguests, do people think rescheduling might be a good idea?

[ghastley]

I'm open to that. EU on the 8th? Any call for delaying NA?

[Acadian]

I'm fine with the NA meeting on this Tues or bumping it a week.

[ghastley]

OK, one week bump for both. 8th and 9th at 6:00PM EST.

[Burnt Sierra]

Fab, looking forward to it

[Grits]

Yay, I plan to be at both. See you next week!

[ghastley]

With the delay, Fleur decided to do more Master Writs to fill the time, so we attuned Fortified Brass, and moved on to Iron Flask.

Still want input on desired sets. The two Craglorn sets would complete the Miscellaneous section, but you don't have a fight to reach them. Was Craglorn base game or DLC? Since the sets are not under the DLC heading, I'd assume the former.

Craglorn was base game, added somewhat shortly after release. First adventure zone update. Was a group only zone, and it's what made me leave all those years ago.

[ghastley]

EU meets tonight, NA tomorrow, both at 6:00 PM EST.

[Sakiri]

Yeah sorry I overslept ><

I got dragged into veteran Sanity's Edge after so now I sleep.

Was fun running with yall tho!

[ghastley]

Since Grits has contributed a set of tables, I’m considering adding Pelinal’s Wrath, as it is in a DLC zone and a long way from a wayshrine. The other Gold Coast sets are a bit that way, but Pelinal’s is the most distant, and the other two will likely follow. Fleur has almost 400 vouchers toward the next set.

Another possible is Spell Parasite from Blackreach, for similar reasons.

[ghastley]

Went for Spell Parasite after doing both runs to see which is worse. The harrowstorm is almost impossible to evade if it is active when you try to pass by, so that made up my mind.

The Gold Coast ones should probably all be added together, anyway. Not likely to be soon at my current rate of progress. Master writs are slow to accumulate, and usually a style Fleur does not know. Purple tempers run out all the time, and then we run out of the surveys to get more. But it gets easier to do the writs as we progress, so at some point, momentum will start to turn the corner.

[Burnt Sierra]

I can give you the writs I've got on EU if that's any help (assuming you mean EU) as I never got around to doing any, and whatever materials I have, though it won't be a staggeringly large amount.

Edit - just looked in the guild bank, and there are loads of purple and gold writs there, so I'm wondering if the ones I have will be of any use, as they don't seem better than what's there already. Are any writs useful or do you only want specific types/ levels/ rewards etc? And what materials would be the most useful? (Just don't say dreugh wax as I never seem to be able to get enough!)

[ghastley]

The things I keep running out of are the purple tempers - mastic, grain solvent, and elegant lining - as they also get used for the purple level furnishings. I have gold tempers in great quantities, as furnishing plans are few at that level. And everyone else needs those purple furnishings for their own homes, so I don’t ask for the mats.

The writs in the guild bank are mostly style pages not known. The unwritten law states that writs always find the gaps in a style. I buy the page if it isn’t too expensive compared to the writ reward, but that’s a judgement based on my chances of having it drop. I normally bank them as soon as I get one I can’t make (unless it’s just a shortage of mats, as a survey or two fixes that). So you are likely to find a lot there you can make, as rng means you get different page drops. We have found that writs in the bank, and contributing tables, is the most efficient method, as there are a lot of things you can’t mail or bank, like the vouchers. Attunable tables are concentrated goodness when it comes to mailing.

I have a decent amount of gold on EU, so a style page buy is planned, but I need to do a survey blitz first, to get those materials.

On NA several of us have enough vouchers in hand to buy all the tables as soon as the new zone drops, and there is no deficit of sets to catch up. The EU guild was formed much later, so it is behind on the sets. We also have no Mundus Stones, which have to be bought for Crowns, and fewer dummies, as they compete for vouchers.

[Sakiri]

Is there any way I can help? I don't play EU, I can probably dump my purple tempers in the bank for you. I likely have a small stash.

[Sakiri]

Dumped a bunch of purple mats in the bank.
