LOL unless I can find a group to make the goods it will be a vacant lot! Looks like about a month or so to construct do to high costs of materials and time to make... never ends... lol maybe thats what I'll call the Inn.... The Never Inns....

Sounds like it may be time to start making some alts. :) It's always more satisfying to know you built something entirely by yourself.

Not really sure if having alts help. Nine women don't make a baby in a month. Hmm, wait, although that is true, it doesn't really apply here. But what is true is that you can only play one alt at the time. I think making alts will even slow you down. 3 average carpenters are a lot less productive than 1 expert. Although it is satisfying to built it all by yourself, I think it is even more satisfying to build it with good friends and have a drink at the porch afterwards.

RE: Need Resorces for Home in Qalia Varking Evil

I wasn't really referring to the speed of one person compared to three. I was referring to the speed of 1 person compared to no one.

If you only ever play one character then you can only have one profession. As far as I know it takes supplies from each profession to build a house. So, if no one were to contribute, it would be impossible to build a house with a single profession. However, if he had two alts, one with each of the remaining professions, you could eventually build your own house. This all out of the assumption that the acutal assembly of the pieces doesn't require the presence of more than one person.

It may take quite a bit longer with a blacksmith main, an artificer alt, and an outfitter alt doing all the work, but it would still be a lot quicker than offering to buy the supplies and getting no responses. Too bad I'm not on Varking or I'd be happy to help out as much as a level 10 weaponsmith-to-be can.

RE: Need Resorces for Home in Qalia Varking Evil

Hmm, it looks like I was reading things differently again. Sorry about the that. I had the impression that Weahawk did get some responses on his requests. Maybe not from here, but from elsewhere. And as a result of that he concluded that it will take months to get the whole thing build. Even if he had all the money to pay his contractors, they will still be quite busy to do all the work. At least that is how I read it. And based on that, I thought that creating alts won't help him much.

I think you are right that if you create an alt in each profession you could pull it off. But the time you need to get a crafter high enough in each profession is enormous!

I hope one day I can build a house for myself with the help of friends that have excelled in their crafting professions. And in return I'll help them building their houses according to their wishes. It would be pretty sweet if we could have a whole block like that.

From what I've found on the various open boards, this is the way to go. Like you will not venture into the deepest, darkest dungeons without your best friends to hide behind, neither should you do the ultimate in crafting achievement on your own.

The system appears to be set up specifically so you have to work together. Not necessarily as neighbors, but in a neighborly fashion. I'd love to have figures on plot costs, plot-options (apparently your options are limited to which plot) and above all the hidden costs. I.e. The weekly upkeep.
Building your inn is one thing, maintaining it a second.

Anyone seen something along those lines?

Might try this...

Good info there though they started with a Kojan house. Half way down the first post is info on a Qalia house.

RE: Need Resorces for Home in Qalia Varking Evil

There isn't much info out there about housing plot costs and upkeep and what is, is scattered all over the place. From what I've read plots range in price from 2.5 to 30 gold for the plot alone. That doesn't include a guild hall which is somewhere in the multiple plat range! Then there is upkeep... on a 10 g plot on one of the islands in Kojan the upkeep is 1 g per week. I can only guess what the upkeep on the other plots cost.

Then add to all of that the cost of actually building the structure. Heres a Link to one guild's experience with building houses. It lists materials to build the various structures as well.

Unfortunately from what I have read it will be a long time before I have a house of my own, and even longer before we get a guild hall.

It still seems as though even basic player housing is pretty rare in game so far and I like that idea as it can give you a real sense of accomplishment and keep the landscape reasonable clean. I do realize though that this may not be a popular idea.

RE: Need Resorces for Home in Qalia Varking Evil

Very astute in your reading Phedre_D. I have had a few nibbles on the resources from the online in game community so it seems it will take a few months to gather and mill the resources etc. I am not one to gather or craft although I can understand the joy one would have in wearing or wielding something they created, however since we are talking pixels here I would rather just fund the building have my Inn and let everyone enjoy a brew on the front porch afterwards, all of you included, well unless you are a kill on sight race ;)

As for housing I can only speak for Qalia there is an island with housing in the North East shore of Qalia that the guild hall plots are several Plat. The home plots are on 2 gold with an upkeep of 20 silver a week. I have been around several of the home sites and this is what I have found so far, most are set up like neighborhoods with roads and such. I happened on the plot I bought which was separated from the main neighborhood, there is the ocean behind me with a large skeletal dragon carcass on the shore, an alter right in front and a mail box standing alone in a field about 50 yards away, my plot the closest to this proximity. I though Man a perfect place for a seaside Inn lets get to work, no plots around me have been purchased so I say come on by and be a neighbor ;)

Wow! That is a sweet location. You do have something standing already as well! Now I need to make myself a toon on Varking just to have a look and see it for myself.

And no lani, you can't keep him yet. He is very busy doing important stuff. Let him first finish the house. But yeah, please submit those screenies. I'll even make a special sections for it.

AHoY mAtEs!

AnD a "YAR" tOo Ya!

Update!!!

I recently found out that you can change and upgrade your plot as you acquire the resources for the next structure you desire.(but I must say to do so means loosing all the resorces of the first structure) So I abandoned my original structure and placed a Small Fancy Qalian in its place for the time being. I am still gathering the resources needed to build the Inn but this way I get to place and store more items (If I could find some chests) and learn the placement limitations of the furniture to better layout the final Inn Project. Anyway here are some screenies of the new place not quite a tavern, more like a shanty dive… a -salty dog- pirate’s- secret hide out- and "in the know" hang out spot… where adventures are planed and seas are sailed…. LOL
Oh and I got a good shot of a Dark Blue Sturdy Caravel Thestrian? I dunno... anyway thought you might like a peek.

Inside right of front door but on the way out
A table for eating and drinking before heading round the horn and on to your port.

To the left of the tables lies the cozy hearth (I had to build the fireplace out of large books)and reading area for relaxing after a meal and reading before retiring.

The bed, small but sturdy and will feel great after weeks at sea...

Ok this was the first Medium ship I had seen, nice huh? But since then I have seen another that was awesome... lady on the bow, double decked with the wheel on the top... like a baby pirate ship... the rumors of these vessels traveling the deep waters to other continents was false, but in fact its larger predecessor. I believe they are called Concords, but here she is a Dark Blue Sturdy Caravel.

************************************************************

Keep in mind on this server on the shadow side no one it seems is makeing furniture.... oh'well a least I get to play around with creating items from items... you only get 100 to a small and 2 chests I think (what ever they are..)

I bet you could set up a smuggling ring with the 'light side' :-)

Nice pictures though and the strategy seems good.
You can store more than you could now, but as I understand it you, or you plus some pack-slaves will have to take the stores out before you can replace the building on the plot?

Just trying to get a firmer understanding of the whole housing thing.

RE: Need Resorces for Home in Qalia Varking Evil

Hmmm smuggling... Would be nice... but I am still pretty much on my own... I have made allot of contacts in the trade industries but not on the adventuring side.

Actually as far as demolition of the old house, I would have to remove all of the items I didn’t want to loose but most of the ones in that you see are a few copper... not a big loss, worse case scenario I could just make several trips to the mailbox and mail the items to myself, in theory. Did some one say slaves... where you get them? I hear the next tier of the sea worthy vessels need them to trek across the vast expanses of ocean... fun fun....

I've been known to smuggle from time to time. It even cost me 500 faction in each major city once. :) Still haven't figured out what to do with the 500 faction that I did earn though...
