guild hall upgrades?
I don’t think anyone can solo claim a guild hall. Ideally you want 7 to 9 people who have bouncing mushrooms (Gilded) and/or updrafts (Precipice). While likely there are paragons of skill who could solo down the vinetenders and vines, I doubt they could do it inside the time limit for each fight.
What you want to do is go to Players Helping Players and ask if folks want to aid you. There are a number of small guilds that do that and they tend to pay it forward after they were helped. I’m certainly willing to assist if you are on NA and by “evening” you mean “before midnight eastern time.”
Once the hall is claimed it is “just” a matter of dropping enough mats into the guild Treasury (not bank) and having enough favor to queue the upgrades. Upgrades give you guild xp and there are minimum level requirements for various upgrades even if you have unlocked their tier.
The whole point of claiming your own Guild Hall is to get your guild work together. Put a message up to the guild that everyone please try to join on epic guild hall claiming event. Give them enough time, like a week, in advance. looks at this as opportunity to get to know your guild members, to chat with them, to help each other.
I mean there is not much point just claiming the guild hall, think about long and painful process of upgrading it later and leveling up scribes. These are not possible to solo anyway.
I’d love to see things like tents, beds, kitchens even.
You only need 4-5 decent players to claim your hall. I am in a 2 player guild with a friend from another game and we managed to claim ours by hiring “mercenaries”. All you need to do is create a LFG asking for people to help you claim the hall. You could ask for people to do this for free out of the nature of their good will but I can not assure you that you will get the help.
I am not a rich player but I paid 3 mercs 2 gold each to help myself and my other guild member to claim our hall. It was well worth the cost in the long run and it was even a fun event in itself.
Good luck.
