Grand Guild Hall  

 

On the Xegony server, I placed a Grand Guild Hall in the Spruce Bridge Bay neighborhood at 200 Vanward Heights. The guild is <Guild Locals Explorer>.

Ok, frustrating several hours because no one seems to cover the process.

Buy the package with or with out the guild writ which allows guild oriented housing. I bought mine with, and I did it from station cash. You can do it with plat if you like. I also got the palatial on the theory that I might eventually need the room.

Goto your neighborhood. Or someone else's... What you need is an empty guild hall plot. There are notes out there that says that all neighborhoods have 4. I don't know, I found the one at 200 whatever way in my own neighborhood. It was up the slope of the hill.

BEFORE YOU START - Make sure you have 4 empty upper level inventory slots ... if you ***** that up as I did you will have to fumble about a bit. Because the opening of the package will get you 4 new containers with stuff in them. If you screwed up as I did, you can hand them to the lady by the gate (or perhaps other NPCs) till you can clear up your inventory so that you can take the contents of the 4 bags. I did that one by one, opening the bags and transferring the content to my inventory one at a time. It is best if you can put all this stuff into 100% W/R bags as it all weighs a ton plus...

Buy the plot, obviously you will need some cash on you to do so (which was annoying as I don't normally carry cash), anyway, the plots are not all that expensive... something on the order of 20PP ... once you have bought the plot, you can place the hall... I cannot even give you a good hint as to how to do this, though best recollection I was standing near the entrance and suddenly the hall turned green as I was waving it about, so I dropped it in place while my luck was good. So, there is the key, buy the plot FIRST, then try to place the hall... once you have the hall placed. When you move into the property you can open the management screen and put some money in escrow to pay for the plot. Cost seems to be 2P 1G ... or some other alternate currency like chronobines... in any case 5K PP if I did the math right is like 4 years rental (the management screen says 340 weeks) ... so not all that expensive after you have bought the hall itself.

If you got one of the complete packages it gives you a basic staff and most of the stuff you need to make a decent place. Enter the hall and start to place your items the one thing it does not give you are the shabby doors to the guild lobby. You can buy them from the lady guild hall equipment vendor outside the marketplace in the housing area. Lazy person that I am, I put all the stuff in the first hall except for the trade skill stuff which I put into the side halls.

of course, if you do not like where things are, you can move them till you do like them. I bought two of the doors and placed one on each side of the door going out. Also, the other nice thing you need is a parcel delivery guy, which you also will have to buy ...

If this helps, post a note, if I missed something, let us know with a post so others don't waste 2-3 hours as I did ...

I did this with the largest version, but the issues are likely the same.

So I know the outside looks the same as the modest guild hall, but what's the interior room configuration on these? How do they differ from the Modest Guild Hall?
