[NA] Merchant Guild - PvE - Crafting and Exploration incouraged!

Hello everyone,

This information is not all there is to the guild, there will be dedicated players for crafting, farming, breeding, etc. All roles and features are based off information released by the devs, some of the roles and branch work will be done irl however, via spreadsheets and paperwork that the co-leader and I will work on as we gain members. Examples are: assigning certain leadership roles, giving guild members jobs or tasks/quests for rewards not already in game, recruitment, etc.
This guild will be primarily a Merchant’s Guild, with several branches each with a different purpose. These branches will all form a sort of cycle and balance each other out so no branch is more important than another.

<strong>Branch I</strong>
– Merchants and Trading: This speaks for itself, however I will go into detail as to how we will achieve our goals and what precisely those goals are. The goal of this branch is to establish set trade routes and a friendly player Grand Exchange similar to the system of Runescape. We also plan to make potential partnerships with other guilds within the server, hopefully establishing a true in-game economy. We will also make it a goal to have the fairest prices, keeping the market balanced. We won’t be hiring mercenary guilds for the most part however we will be willing make exceptions when there is profit to be made from it.

<strong>Branch II</strong>
–Militia: This will be the branch that protects the Merchants and Trading branch from raids and small scale attacks on caravans. The job here is to keep our merchandise in-house. The players in this branch will also be the enforcers of the set rules and have authority to a certain point over the lower ranking members of other branches. They are in a sense the Disciplinary Committee or law enforcement. However for certain players in higher ranking the only people permitted to deal with them are the leaders of their branch.

<strong>Branch III</strong>
– Explorers: The people in this branch are meant to be able to service in the wilderness alone (soloing will not be required). This branch will help in establishing safe routes between nodes as well as finding raw materials and equipment. This branch will hopefully have the most members do to the need for resources. This branch will also take part in helping our village physically grow in size, using the materials you find to build new stores and homes for other players to rent or buy.

<strong>Overview–</strong>
Each branch is needed to make the others successful, no one branch could be as successful without the other 2. The services the branches will offer are what constitutes as payment to a certain degree. Take the Militia branch for example, yes they have the ability to fight and defend themselves however they won’t be able to obtain as much weapons and armor without the Merchants branch obtaining currency shared throughout the guild. And the Merchants branch won’t be able to make money without the Explorers branch bringing in materials; and the Explorers branch can’t both explore and protect their home at the same time with the limited members so it would be far more beneficial to rely on each other.
<strong>
PLEASE NOTE</strong>: The above information is liable for small changes from time to time depending on the information released by the Devs of the game. Nothing is entirely set in stone, however our main goals and purpose are to stay the same.

  • I'm so excited to get to meet all the new members who do decide to give us a shot, and to those who decide against this guild, I do hope you find yourself a home!
    We can craft, gather, and explore together^^
  • Also upon the release I will be streaming the game during the second alpha. I will also be doing walkthroughs later in the game on the quickest ways to make money.
  • Already joined the discord. In a player driven world, those that create the most at the start will be needed by all :)
  • I'm also starting a guild, BlackCore, but it isn't as robust and hard as this guild. Plus Free MilkShakes for all who join!
  • Sounds like a really interesting guild. I'd be interested in joining. Let me know how I can help!
  • @Silverstar
    You should make your own forum post and not promote it here, thank you. ^^
  • Oh it's simple! Just mention us to friends or maybe when you tell someone about AoC you could invite them to join! We have managed to make almost every type of player have a roll in the guild so we're very open to recruitment:) we will -also be looking for current f2p games and other activities with members to get to know each other until release!
  • Interested!
  • I'm definitely interested in doing this! I know it's very early on, but this post sounds like exactly I'm looking for and what drew me to support this game.
  • That's the idea friend! May I ask what your discord name is?
  • Interested! Dedicated artisan player planning on playing a Nikuan Dwarf.
  • Interested In such an Idea , although being older and having one of those job ordeals Not sure i can put in the game time of Hardcore player
    Looking to go down the branch of Raw Item Processor

    sure no player may ever hold a weapon made by me but the ore required will have been purified and smelted by my hands.

  • We are actually a Semi-Hardcore guild and many of us have jobs, we don't expect anyone to be clocking 90 hours a week or anything so no worries. Feel free to ask myself or QueenPonda in the discord any questions. :)
  • what steps do i need to take to pre register for guild if any ?
  • Simply confirm you'll be joining with us, make sure you know there's a time and place for everything so when you wanna talk about random funny things to use the off topic channel or sometimes general (general for mild discussion is okay just take it to off topic for more unsavory humor). Profanity is fine just don't use it as a second language. No bigotry is tolerated at all. As long as these rules are follows you should be fine :)
  • This guild seems like a very good group to call partners. I'm glad that it's semi-hardcore, as the hours required for a hardcore guild would most certainly be too many. Although I would prefer to be either a merchant or an explorer, the need for a militia is understandable and I would be content with any job given to me.
  • The specific roles aren't to be assigned until a later date, so until then feel free to join the discord and get a feel for it and get to know the members! It's quite light hearted at the moment and we won't get too semi-hardcore until Alpha Phase 1. If you have any questions feel free to message Ponda, The Meme Doctor, Minny, Or myself :)
  • I can confirm these are a great bunch of people in discord, by the time the game comes out it will truly be a guild with a purpose
  • Bump
  • An amazing group of people to hang out with and talk to. Come join us.

  • This definitely sounds like something I'd be interested in. Username on discord is Mudfan35.
  • I am interested in the guild, I wish to focus on crafting and selling so this seems like a perfect fit for me. Look forward to see were this guild goes.
  • Bump
  • I think it might be a little bit early to start this thing but what the hell count me in
  • Hopefully with the update to the forum that is coming I can send a friend request to keep in touch with this guild as we get closer to the Alpha's and on to the game going live. This sounds like a really great idea, but right now I'm not quite sure what I'm looking for out of the game other than to dive in the deep end and see what comes out.

    I'm interested to know the kind of time requirements you'd be looking to have members spend (if that's been figured out). I personally have a full time job and mostly get to play about 2-3 hours in the evenings during the week and mostly on the weekends as much time as I can (less stopping to eat).

    Regarding the ability to keep in touch I advise joining the discord server we have for our group. Regarding the requirements At the current moment we recognize that people wont be able to play this game 24/7 as real life is a thing and we are a semi-hardcore guild. Purging members would only occur if your large lack of activity was unannounced...Come join the discord and ask more questions, there are always people online to answer!
