Brothers of Arms

[Gert]

Now we have finished our village, it's time to look at the megalith area...this currently has a minor megalith (next-guild-village-building-megalith-t4988.html), quite a few toadstools (normal build locations), a festival tent (crafted centrepiece), Vanir scarecrow (purchased centrepiece) and a rough-cut arch (crafted centrepiece).

I'd like to theme this area a bit better now we have access to improved megaliths so the first step is to sort out what to build...it'll take a fair bit of resources but will make the megalith area look a bit neater than it currently does ; feedback on choices welcome but might be ignored

- replace megalith with a newer improved one; Elegant Shrine (@ 600 Yew, 75 Soulwood) from the available options:

600 Yew

   100%

75 Soulwood Yew

   100%

(major megaliths seem to be around ¾ the height of the Alchemist Tower but they also require the quest chain that starts with Iron Tower, heads to Xib then ends up killing the basilisk in Jade Citadel...so not going to be happening soon)

- replace 3 centre piece locations with Rough-cut Arches (@ 375 Granite, 75 Feldspar each):

3 of 3 Arches built

   100%

1,125 of 1,125 Granite - 375 each

   100%

225 of 225 Feldspar - 75 each

   100%

- replace all 24 toadstools with Faces of the Past pillars (@ 225 Granite, 75 Black Silver):

24 of 24 Pillars built

Aim is to create a more enclosed space (with the pillars) with a central building-like megalith and entrances covered by the arches...

[Saerhimnir]

Like your ideas!

[Mistery]

Yep, seems like a good idea . Nothing pleases me more than gathering mats of course.....

[Gert]

There'll be several ways to help get resources - one way that we've used before is Shards and every little resource donation helps

I'll work out the exact figures this week - looking a some alternatives on the pillars atm and also would like to try for the AoK recipe...

[Mistery]

Need 1 tank and 1 ToS for imba AoK runs. Can dream that place..... (used to be one of my favorite dungeons before Khitai).

[Saerhimnir]

It's a nicely designed dungeon, I quite like the visuals, and some interesting game play as well. Is the recipie BoP or BoE?

[Gert]

BoP iirc...

I can build the Shrine now - that fits in better than the Gate from what I can tell...just trying to work out the pillars...

Updated first post anyway - donations welcome

[Gert]

Megalith built

Eternal Shrine Megalith

I also need to do some AF recipe runs to get Tumbaga for the Astrolabes to enable ppl to get the Megalith buffs (~+72 tap rating)

[Mistery]

Don't worry, I have tumbaga recipe.

[Gert]

First post updated - sticking with the Arches as they work better...time to start getting resources/donations to get building

[Gert]

Donations have started coming in - updated first post

[Mistery]

Btw, can you update the logging bot message to also donate illustrium? That's needed for the tumbaga. Don't know how to do that

[Gert]

Done

[Magman]

I like to see what buff we can get with the Megalith, can you list to possibilities?

astrolabes-used-with-megalith-t13183.html

Depending on the Astrolabe used, it's a 2% buff to stamina/mana/health tap (minor megaliths give 1%) for 3 hours.

[Gert]

Update: All Arches built & 1 Pillar built...

Work in progress screenie:

Megalith area - work in progress

Pillar turned out to be a bit bigger than expected but works well

[Gert]

2nd pillar up earlier tonight...

[Gert]

4 pillars done, 20 to go

[Tjan]

Sounds a worthwhile project - I will work on contributing towards it.
Can I ask how the buffs are triggered on a character or are they automatically there as a guild member?

Thnaks,

Tjan

[Gert]

Buffs: astrolabes-used-with-megalith-t13183.html

[Gert]

2 more pillars raised - keep the granite, black silver and donations coming

[Gert]

and another Pillar goes up

[Magman]

Gert can you tell me again what was your plan? I know we talked about it. You want those nice Khitai pilars, but not all the same right?

there are those:
Broken Angular Pilar
Face of the Past
Angular Pilar
Mossy Angular Pilar

which ones we already have of the 24 and which ones did you want?
They all need 225 Granite and 75 black silver I believe.

[Gert]

Each section will likely be:

Broken - Mossy - Face - Face - Mossy - Broken

with the Broken ones next to the Arches

Broken require a bit less mats but it's Granite & Black Silver needed

[Gert]

If you look at the site now, you can see that one part is nearly complete:
