So far my guild hasn’t had too many major issues with the materials to upgrade our guild hall. There is however one material that I see as more troublesome then any of the others: Ley-Line Infused Tools (used mostly for upgrading the mine).
These are crafted by a level 400 weaponsmith (recipe is automatically unlocked) with the following recipe:
- Charged Quartz Crystal
- Ley Line Spark
- Orichalcum Mining Pick
- 50 Bloodstone Dust
Charged Quartz information:
Charged Quartz Crystals can be produced by fusing 25 Quartz Crystals at a place of power (commune based hero challenge) once per day. They can also be acquired as a rare drop from quartz nodes (located in a home instance or dry top). They have been in the game for awhile though, so some players may have a lot of them.
Ley Line Spark information:
Ley Line Sparks are acquired by opening “Crystallized Supply Cache” in the new Tangled Depths map. Opening the Caches takes “Vials of Chak Acid” which is obtained through the Nuhoch merchant (requires Nuhoch mastery level 3). The HoT storyline also rewards 5 and 10 Ley Line Sparks after completing the 11th and 13th story arcs (respectively).
The major problem with making the Ley-Line Infused Tools is that all of the materials are account bound. Thus, players that wish to help make these for their guild need both time gated materials and relatively hard to acquire materials to produce them. This can lead to players with a large amount of charged quartz but not have access to ley line sparks, or players that have access to ley line sparks, but can only make one ley line infused tool per day due to time gates.
tl;dr “How to help your guild”:
- make charged quartz every day (process given above)
- play through the HoT storyline to get short term access to ley line sparks
- start working on Nuhoch mastery level 3 for long term access to ley line sparks
- use the recipe above to turn these materials into ley line infused tools
Hope this helps!
