@Vackler I'll have an invite out to you tonight!

@ATEK302 We're definitely not one of the Trading Guilds. We DO have enough members for a Guild Store, but it only serves to sell among otehr Guild members most of the time.

We did have a Guild trader for a week, but we weren't able to bid enough Gold to keep i longer than that. I won't ever force the members of this Guild to fork over a mandatory Guild Dues Fee, and thus all Gold the Guild has is by donation from our dedicated members. The flip side to that, is that the Guild doesn't generate a huge amount of income, thus getting a regular Guild Trader will not be possible except for once in a while. But then, that wasn't ever the focus of this Guild.

But I thank you and your wife for your interest in us, and I will definitely get you both invites this evening!

So if we have mats and gear, we can sell it in the guild bank? I'm sorry, I'm very new to this game. Just trying to get better at making gold. Heard selling was a good way.

Yes, in a nutshell, that's it.

When you go to a bank in any Zone, the Banker has several options.

Bank (you characters personal Bank)
Guild Bank (the bank for any Guilds you're in)
Guild Store (if any of your Guilds you belong to have 50 or more members, they have access to a Guild Store)

Choosing the Guild Bank option lets you deposit or withdraw from items or Gold in the Guild bank if the guild Master of that Guild has promoited you to a position that allows access to a Guild Bank. In The Nightshade Consortium, I have given all members of every level access to deposit/withdraw items (but not Gold) from the Guild Bank. In this way, this Guild of Solo players can support each other by donating items to the Guild bank, so that other members may take them to either outfit their own characters, or research traits for crafting purposes.

Choosing the Guild Store option lets you list items for sale that other members of the Guild may/may not want to buy. You're allowed to list a total of 30 items for sale in any one Guild Store, and they remain listed for 30 days. If they don't sell in that time frame, you get the item returned to you via the in-game mail system.

I hope this helps a bit.

Millions???!!!

A light bulb just went off in my head. Now I'm starting to understand why people get upset with undercutting prices. They're not necessarily selling at ridiculous prices. They're selling to keep the store open. I'm sure these fees are quite high to offset the millions needed to keep one running.

What a mind-numbing way to run commerce. I suppose most MMOs run this way, foolish as it is.

I can definitely understand your reasoning for not putting yourself under that type of pressure, or put it on your members.

@Violynne Yup, millions.

And it's that ebb and flow of prices vs. demand that lets the market regulate itself. But it's that competition for the most choice Trader kiosks that has driven up the cost of trader bids. If you want your Guild to sell the most items at the best prices, your Guild has to pop for the best spots.

Trading Guilds are great for enriching yourself (if you keep coming across items that other players really want/need) and enriching the Guild Master's of such trading Guilds, but they require a TON of work on the part of the Guild Leadership.

I have no real desire to enrich myself in digital Gold, but instead want to help the masses of Solo Players enjoy the game more, and to have support when they need it that also fits within and works well with a Solo Player style and mindset.

Thus, I designed The Nightshade Consortium as I did.

Mr. Uriel_Nocturne you mentioned a dungeon crawl this weekend what level is recommended to participate? I was going to ask if we could do a "noob dungeon run" for lower level characters but I don't know what the minimum level is to for dungeon run or trials? All 3 of my characters are level 35 or 36. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.

Thanks for clearing that up. Yeah we should be online this evening off and on.

Do we have to be online for you to send invite?

Vackler

Looking forward to the invite/joining. I'm not big on group play at all, so this is quite refreshing.

Uriel_Nocturne

@RONIN7EVEN Unfortunately I won't be posting up a Weekend Dungeon Run this weekend, my schedule just won't allow me to organize one personally. Though I am talking with one of my Officers about organizing one in my stead, so if he is able to do it, he'll change the Message of the Day with all the necessary details. As far as level goes, since The Consortium has a very wide range of character levels, we don't really have any min/max level requirements when we do Guild dungeon runs. We simply gather in a location, divide into Groups from there, then choose Normal/Vet, 1/2, etc. depending on the level content of each group.

@ATEK302 No, you don't have to be online to receive a Guild Invite. It should just be waiting for you when you log in next time.

@Vackler We try to accommodate for everyone. Which is why we do the dungeon grouping on an ad hoc basis. We post up when/where we're doing the dungeon run, I and my Officers make a list of people who want to participate, and then we send out group invites at the appropriate time. In this way, I can stick to my principle of not requiring Group activity when the Guild is based around accommodating the Solo Player. i find it works best this way.

Me and my wife joined yesterday. How does the ranking system work?

Furinol

Hello,

I'm new to ESO and normally solo due to RL responsibilities and the need to break away to AFK pretty frequently.

I would really appreciate an invite

Thanks!

GT: Furinol

Uriel_Nocturne

@sltroup I've got you on my list, and will have an invite to you tonight!

@ATEK302 I really have no rhyme or reason for the rankings. Void Scion gets you access to the Guild Bank and Guild Store, so every member is at least that rank. As for promotions, I generally promote when someone donates quite a bit to the Bank or donates Gold pretty regularly, or helps out with the random Guild Dungeon Runs.

So, it's kind of... random for promotions.

Uriel_Nocturne

@Furinol That play style is not a problem. We love the Solo Players here in the Consortium, and we understand that real life takes priority over the game. So I've got you on my list and will have an invite to you this evening!

Oh, me and my wife are initiates right now. No access to guild bank.

How do we go about talking a couple into helping us do spindle clutch I? It would be later this evening. XB1 central standard time.

Uriel_Nocturne

@ATEK302 I'll promote the two of you when I get on tonight then. As far as getting a couple Guildies to help out, right now the game limits us on that. About the best way (I would say) would be to message a higher CP Guild Member, and see if they would be willing to run through it with you.

I have never personally been through any but a small handful of the dungeons in ESO, otherwise I'd offer to help you myself. But my lack of knowledge would probably be a hindrance more than anything.

We know nothing either, it's more of a just need more people to kill things. Would be fun to have you along.

We killed the 2nd spider boss and ran out of time to play, need others to help speed it along.

Can't belive we killed that 2nd boss with 1.3 million health, just the two of us
