I just got my guild to level 30 within the last week, and have been kicking around the idea of getting a guild hall. 50 platinum is a lot, and the 50 gold per week upkeep is nothing to sneeze at for me either. I’m not sure what the status costs are, but I think I have a fair buffer of that built up. It’s going to be difficult to do financially, but I think it will be really cool and ultimately it’s worth it.

I love the idea of having my own guild fortress – a place to have fun decorating, make life more convenient, etc. I just hate blowing that much money on one. At level 68 I’m getting 10g+ on a lot of quests, so with a team of 6 I can make an entire week’s rent in a single quest. That 50pp up front is going to hurt a LOT, but it’s just such a cool thing I can’t resist

If I understand correctly, I can get like 5 perk items with a level-30 guild. I haven’t looked at the entire list, but I think you can get like a druid teleporter thing that might be handy for druid-less teams. I definitely will get a guild teleporter thing so I can get to the guild hall from my houses. I like the idea of a crafter setup – I think you can get a guy who hands out crafting writs – and I’ll hopefully be able to get crafting stations.

I’ve mostly leveled to 30 by doing heritage quests and crafter rush writs. Most of my crafters are in their high 60s, so I can make about 12,000 status on a single rush quest (1,200 to the guild). I use them to level my crafters primarily, but the status is a nice perk.

It’s hard to imagine getting to level 40 or even 50; the push to 30 was pretty rough. I guess I should do more city quests - maybe once I hit 70 and can do the Kunark ones. The ones in Sands of Ro involved way too much running around to be very efficient, and weren’t very interesting either.

So, to answer your question, I am planning to buy a level-1 guild hall now that my guild has hit level 30. It’s a lot of money for me, but it’s just too cool to pass up. I will spend a stupid amount of time decorating it, putting books on the shelves, arranging furniture & crafting stations, etc. I will spend 50g per week on something that won’t help me survive any battles – but it will make the game a little more fun.
