Guild Wars 2

We have heard from the last episode of POI and this blog post (https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/guild-halls-from-pen-to-production-to-placement/) that the Scribe can do various things, e.g.

1. "Scribes hold a uniquely selfless role within the guild community. Although there are items scribes can craft for themselves, they bend most of their talents to crafting items for their guilds. "
>> Does that mean that they “selflessly” have to use individual resources to craft things and not just the guild resources?
>> What are the items they can craft for themselves? (as it looks like guild weapons & armour are on a vendor basis)

2. “The main source of resonance is a new item called a resonating shard, which is discovered while grouping with other guild members.”
>> Is “grouping” just guild missions or other activities like partying for WvW or a dungeon (like the influence influx we have at the moment) – meaning will those resonance shards only drop from guild missions?

3. “catalyst materials found throughout the world can be used to transform one of the basic decorations into a special, finer version.”
>> Will those catalyst items be soulbound or can guildies hunt them down and give them to the scribe for upgrading decoration?

4. Will the Scribe be a regular crafting profession, like e.g. Artificer with tiers from 0-400 or more like a “rank” in the guild hierarchy?
>> If the first thing applies, will we have to replace/switch one of our two crafting profession slots for it, or will it be “an extra slot” so everyone can become a scribe?

5. Will the crafting of items for guilds involve regular crafting materials or items in addition to the guild resources or Favor, Aetherium and Resonance?
>> More precisely, will Guild Banquets require food crafted by Cooks, temporary fortified gates in WvW hard wood and steel etc. ?

I hope people behind development of the Scribe (perhaps ANet’s crafting guru Lindsey) can shed some light on those questions.

Thanks for reading. Answering some or all of those could help people prepare for scribing in the near future.
