TheGuild - Cerberus's new CRAFTING LSFollow

Some of you may have seen the shout last night in Lower Jeuno for the crafting/farming LS that was discussed in another thread on this forum by myself and Greedybandit. The initial response has been encouaging and we hope that more crafters and farmers across the server will unite in one location to "get stuff done"! That is what this LS is all about: Getting stuff done.

In order to aliviate any confusion, I am going to attempt to explain in detail what this is all about. If you are a crafter or farmer of any level and need a palce to acuire or sell goods at a faster pace then the AH, this LS is for you. (ex. I'm mining and getting a lot or ore I'm too high to skill up on. I don't want to drop the potential gil that is there but I have no inventory room left. My AH is full with synthed high ticket items. What do I do? I send a message across the LS. Someone is using that ore to skill on and offers to come to the mine and take it off me in exchange for a stack or 2 of pickaxes. I don't have to stop mining and he gets some skillups. Win/Win)

That is just one of the applications for this LS. Need a product for a different town? Ask the LS, someone there should help you out. As you can see the ideas behind "TheGuild" are very different from your odrinary LS. Farmers will have an outlet to unload their product at a faster pace (increasing gil/hour) and crafters will get materials faster (increasing skill/hour).

Hopefully, people will like with the way the system works and numbers will grow and prehaps in interest of moving product faster prices will drop. This LS is very informal with no direct leadership (only moderation, much like the forums here) or restrictions (everyone gets a sack). All that matters is feeding the supply and demand cycle and having a good time doing it while makeing a friend or two.

This LS is in no way ment to take the place of your mission/exp/hmnls. It's a place to go when you want to make the most of your crafting/farming time. Pop in "get stuff done" and pop out. Hopefully we can get max members and keep the "store" open all the time.

That ends my somewhat longwinded explanation of the purpose of TheGuild. I hope it interests you as much as the current members. We are giving out pearls until there aren't any left. Let us know what you think. The possibilities are endless. Thanks for reading.

Glad you asked! This LS is for everyone...in fact low mid lvl crafters will probably benefit more (because low/mid level drops are more abundant). Send me a tell and we'll hook you up with a pearl. I'm on pretty much every night after 8pm EST.

Yo, I am Kaiku. I am truely intrested in joining this LS. I don't completly understand it yet. So, if I join could you explain more to me? Or just do another post.

I'm interested even if im lv 2 Alchemy :P


I'll send you a tell in game

I'm sorry. But crafting linkshells doesnt work.
We have had a few, but they have all died.
Even had one over most of the servers, called HighQuality i think.
People will just equip it, ask something, then not getting an answer, because none is the craft he is asking for.
And what stops them from just checking online?

It would have to be a linkshell that you use as a main.
And there are few people that takes crafting very seriously.
It would be better if you created a Forum or BBS i think.

Good luck trying though.
Some must be the fist to succeed.

Best of luck to you guys. This has the potential to be successful, but as Sabo mentioned, the downfall would lie with attendance. A lot of people are the "answer me now" type. If it is a social LS also, I think this could be very helpful for a lot of people. Best of luck to you all!

If I didn't have the obligations to my current LS, I wouldn't mind being in this LS while crafting. I'd be happy to help answer any questions someone might have though.

kk i wont one my in game name is shingui i am on pretty much every day so u wont miss me so thast *Shingui*

I'd like to apologize to anyone looking for me last night. RL aggro'd and like any RDM it took a long time to beat it down.

I will be on tonight however, for those of you looking to get a pearl.

Sabotendar and SuiRyu, I understand what you are saying. I'll look into creating a forum so that people have another outlet. With my schedule, this might take a week or two. If anyone wants to help it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for all the input.

I have had some encouraging experiences in the past few days talking with different people in game. Later tonight I will start to post the names of people who you can contact about getting a pearl. In the mean-time, just send me a tell and I'll hook you up myself. I'm usually on from 8-12pm est.

Asherr, it will be great to have a Smither with us. Currently, there are a lot of cooks and whatnot. You would be a great addition.
