Guild questions

waterfairy · June 2016

There's a few things that I'd appreciate if guildmasters cleared up for me.

1. When do guild traders go up for auction and must I bid in that moment?

2. If I lose all my members, do I lose everything stored in the guild bank?

3. If I give a rank the power to promote, can they promote people to their same rank or the rank right beneath it? I'm assuming that they can't promote beyond their rank unless ZOS set that up wrong.

That's all that comes to mind at the moment.

You make a bid throughout the week but it's blind-bidding and you won't know if you won until the traders turn over for the week at the buttcrack of dawn on Monday at 6 AM EDT. From there you have about ten minutes to scramble for a guild trader that nobody bid on in the world.

2. If I lose all my members, do I lose everything stored in the guild bank?

No.

3. If I give a rank the power to promote, can they promote people to their same rank or the rank right beneath it? I'm assuming that they can't promote beyond their rank unless ZOS set that up wrong.

Not 100% certain but I'm pretty certain that you can't promote above or to your rank.

1. I am also interested in this answer, although I do believe it's early morning on Mondays.
2. You will be able to withdraw from the bank, but not add anything.
3. You can promote only to the rank below your rank. You also can only demote people below your rank, if you have that permission. (Only exception is the guild leader; you can promote someone to guild leader which will demote you to the next rank down. While it usually gives you a prompt to verify you want to do that, it doesn't always, so just be wary of that.)

@rhapsodious
Thanks.
Monday at 6am?? That's crazy ZOS...also don't like the idea of blind bidding.
What would you say is a proper bid for a trader that's not in Rawl or the other top spots? (ballpark figures)

That's good. Promoting someone to guildmaster is probably a way to step down and pass the guild on to someone you deem worthy.

I would be in the mid to high 5 figures for an out of the way Kiosk. Not that you could not get one for less some weeks. Even then, your probably not going to make back the Kiosk Fee in taxes. At this point, your guild is subsidizing the cost of the trader for the good of the membership.

I'm wondering more about Outlaws Refuge traders, are they costly if in a starting town?
