What's important for a guild hall?

ezmaye · July 2021

Hi,
Recently started a guild (social PVE) and wanted to put together a guild hall. I have the cold harbour Estate so I have space to work with.

What should be the priority?

Most guilds I see in zone chat say they have guild halls so I feel like it's a must have.

I'm in a trading guild and they have all the crafting tables, but that would be something for later as it's very expensive to get all the tables.

If crafting tables are a must then is there a list of the most essential ones?

Thanks so much!

It's not mandatory to have a guild hall but as your guild grows, people joining may expect to have a place to meet up. That is what I personally would consider essential.

Most guild halls from large guilds will have the special set crafting stations and some will also have Crown Store Mundus Stones for convenience, and many other things. That said, since people can join 5 guilds, *your* guild hall does not have to offer all that. As you said, it's very expensive.

I set up my main house as "convenience for beginners" so that guildies can port in, use banker and merchant and the basic stations just to deconstruct stuff or to craft the provisioning/alchemy/enchanting Master Writs, then step out and use the stables or wayshrine at Elden Root. The house is Snugpod and it's tiny but useful enough, particularly for people without ESO+ because your inventory will fill up fast.

Trial dummy. Smaller dummy. Ulti well. Crafting tables of the most common crafted sets. Transmute station. Banker and Merchant. This is basic utility wise I think

Most guilds provide a fully kitted guild house, meaning mundus stones, all crafting stations, possibly banker/merchant, transmute station and dummies for traning.

It isn't necessary in my eyes, as it can and will get expensive though, and I feel like even just providing a house for players to meet up is a nice enough thing.

If you really want to get started, look into what you are interested in first, and invest into reasons for YOU to go back to your house often, such as transmuting or training.

I'd say it depends on your guild. What would your guildies need? Do you do veteran PVE content? Target Iron Atronach could be a good fit. Trading? Maybe the attuned crafting tables. Housing? Maybe some example ideas about custom builds.

In no particular order, I would think the following are very useful for a guild hall:

Crafting tables
Mundus stones
Training dummies
Transmutation station
Banker
Thief trader
Merchant
Space for activities such as duels
Maybe some fun things, such as a parkour run (the more 'dangerous' the better)
Maybe a large table with interactive chairs so player characters can sit while they chat

Comfy chairs and relaxing music.

Putting in your banker, merchant and fence are useful for those that don't have them.

They can port there for free to use them

A wall with all ACHIEVEMENT DECO you get with your guildpartners

to tremble and behold

Ok thanks everyone!

For those that mentioned craft tables, could you recommend maybe 4 or 5 sets that you think would be a good starting point?

I'd start with the standard stam, mag, healer tank sets.

I don't know for healer and tank, but stam and mag I would think Hundings Rage and Law of Julianos

aaisoaho · July 2021

I'd say important crafting stations could be:
- Diamond's Victory
- Hunding's Rage
- Law of Julianos
- New Moon Acolyte

Mundus stones and ulti well must be there right next to the entrance and not somewhere further away. Another ulti well next to trial dummy.

Danikat · July 2021

Since getting everything all players might want in a guild hall is an expensive and time consuming process I think a good start would be to ask your guild members what their top priorities are for their hall, since they're the ones who will be using it. You'll likely have some idea of the answers based on the type of guild it is, but they could help you narrow it down, for example maybe they're all in trading guilds as well and those already provide set crafting stations but maybe don't offer training dummies.

Only issue with the mundas stones is you can only get them with crowns and they are 5k each.

So you either need a guild benefactor or have plenty of dosh.

Vevvev · July 2021

Blood fountain and thrall (For your vampires to de-vamp, or vamp up if that's their thing)
Crafting stations
Outfitting station (Mandatory for a Social or RP Hall)
Banker
Merchant
A couple of social areas ranging from gardens, bars, arenas, and living rooms.

All attuneables in a neat and easily accessed location is the ideal guildhouse for writs sake. Mundus stones are nice too but not needed along with combat dummies as I have those in my personal home

transmute station is nice to have as well

Must Haves:

-A basic set of crafting stations (Blacksmith, Cloth, Woodwork, enchant, Alchemy, Provisioning, Jewelry).
-Transmute Station
-Outfit Station
-Banker and Merchant (Fence optional)
-3/6 mil Target Dummy (prob dont need both)
-Trial Dummy

Nice to Have:
-All Mundus Stones
-Aetherial Well
-Fence

Something to work for:
-All Set crafting stations
-A nice Dueling Arena

Pretty sure the only must have that costs crowns are the trial Dummy and assistants, but if you have any aspirations of making your guild members better players, the trial Dummy is must have. Mundus stones are nice, but can be expensive. The well is relatively new, but once you get used to it, you cant go without.

Obviously, the massive endeavor here is all the set crafting stations. For a lot of seasoned players like myself, these are the only reason I would need to leave my own house, at least from a service/utiltiy standpoint, because I have everything else. LOTS of guild halls, and several people on my friends list have them all at this point. Hard to call yourself a real guild hall without them, at least IMO.

Now if you are just looking for a place to meet and RP, or whatever, maybe you don't need any of that.

My house was once a quasi Guild hall and it still gets a reasonable amount of use from my buddies. They mostly come for Transmute, Mundus Stones, and the multiple Trial Dummies.

Some attuned crafting sets to consider:

- PVP set stations. Many people avoid PVP zones and will pass on master writs that call for these, unless they are available in the guild hall.
- Popular DLC stations. Folks who don't have specific DLC access might inquire about these. New Moon Acolyte (Southern Elsweyr) is the biggest at the moment. Others to consider: Law of Julianos (Orsinium), Mechanical Acuity (Clockwork City), Shacklebreaker (Morrowind), Fortified Brass (Clockwork City)
