Fund Raising - Guild Dimension

[Lasarian]

The guild tithe is only 3% of added money loot added to mobs. I think we can safely discount this as a source of revenue for the guild, it is simply too small.

No, we are going to have to raise this ourselves, by selling green drops (instead of vendoring) and auctioning crafted items. Right now, Dimension Items are pretty popular, some of which can go for quite a bit of money. It would be nice to land a few big ticket items, but I think it is more likely we will reach our goal - slow and steady over time.

In the last day I have made about 40 pp just crafting basic Dimension Items and selling them for between 50 gp and 1.5 pp.

We have between 4-8 regular players. That gives us a shared burden of between 750 pp and 375 pp per. If we set our sights on say, three months to raise 3,000 pp - that's 1,000 pp per month, divided by 4-8 players. That's getting into reasonable numbers. If you average it to six players, its only about 166 pp per month (or about 5.5pp per day) per player - which is eminently doable.

Good items for sale seem to be certain crafting mats, dimension items and even 50+ green. If you have former build blues or epics, I wouldn't bother. Unfortunately the starting gear in the new zones makes those things valueless. The good news is that lower level high quality items are still selling well. I've been getting 5pp for Darkmetal Helms still ... so, not too bad.

My first weekend of actually trying to raise some money and here are my results: I started off on Friday with about 10pp, as of this morning I have 100pp.

Update: I now have 150pp. While farming for ore, I spent some extra time looking for artifacts and sold several of these, one for 35pp. While admittedly only a short time sample, I am averaging about 28pp per day.

I have also identified some of the Artifact Collections that I believe we should attempt to focus on auctioning. These are collections with highly prized rewards, like items or pets.

Hotfix went into effect today that addressed some glitchiness and added what is described as "an experiment" in faster movement, both on foot and mounted, in and out of combat across the boards.

They also lowered the prices of the dimensions - which is big news for us. The initial cost of that dimension I wanted for us was 3,000 pp, it is now half that at 1,500 pp. The price for the starting one was 1,000 but is now 500 pp.

I was going to try to save up the 500 pp needed to buy a personal dimension we could use in the meantime until we had a enough for the big one. The personal version of the Stone Flask Tavern has been dropped from 500 pp to 300 pp, but the guild version came down from 1,000 to 500 pp - so I wonder if we might just get the guild the first one to have until we can raise the 1,500? Or do we save it and get the big one?

I vote for the 500pp version, then we can upgrade later.

Sounds sensible to me! Will definetly try to help raise the funds we need ... I want my own tower, lol
