Prizes Deferred

Ysharros has deferred the bonus prizes she won for Kalliste and Fairuza, so I’ve had to dig in the event logs to find the next runners-up. :)

They are DENAT (first writ of the day) and PRATT (most writs on the day), respectively. I’ll be shooting them a letter in-game shortly!

Edit 11/29: Maxum (one of Pratt’s alts) has also deferred his prize…it will instead go to CATARYA.


Here we go…the winners of the Push to 60 guild contest!!

First, the 5 bonus prizes:

The character who actually dinged the guild level 60 was… LYRIANA!

The character who completed the most writs the day we dinged 60 was… FAIRUZA!

The first character to complete a writ on the day we dinged 60 was… KALLISTE!

The first character to earn an AA point on the day we dinged 60 was… SHAU!

The first character to earn a level on the day we dinged 60 was… MAXUM!

As promised, these 5 lucky characters will receive one mastercrafted item of their choice. I will be contacting them in-game to take their requests, so guys, keep an eye on the mailbox!

And now, the two grand prizes:

The character with the overall highest contributed status increase was… FAIRUZA! She went from 254,937 status to 349,496 status — an increase of 94,559 points!

The character with the highest percentage increase was… PRATT! He went from ZERO status to 71,204 status — in increase of 7,120,400%. Seriously!!

HUGE congratulations are in order for these two! They really worked their backsides off during the competition. As a bonus, they will both be promoted to the rank of Champion because of their incredible contributions to the guild. Well done!!

Thank you again to everyone who contributed. You guys rock. :)

NOTE: In the event that the winning character deferred, the prize was awarded to the first eligible runner-up. In the event that one character qualified for more than one prize in the same category, the additional prizes were awarded to the respective runners-up. In the event that one character qualified for two prizes and the runners-up were two different characters, the winner of the second prize was determined by 1d8. :)

Hello, Level 60 :)

Guild Level 60: Popup Message

Guild Level 60: Guild Event Log

Guild Level 60: Worldwide Broadcast

First, I have to say thank you to all the members who helped get us this far. Whether you did one writ or a hundred, you made a real difference. Everyone’s selfless contributions to the guild and to each other are what make Halasian Empire so wonderful.

Guild Level 60: Updated HeraldryWith level 60 come a number of great perks:

  • A new row in each of our guild bank vaults, which you can access by right-clicking any banker
  • The ability to add a pattern to our guild heraldry, which is modeled by Kharri, to the right
  • New mounts available for purchase from stablemasters
  • New items & titles available for purchase from city merchants
  • Three new guild hall amenities, which were chosen by a poll here on the website:
    • Gatherer Hireling: After 2 hours, gives you 200 random common harvests from root, shrub, & lumber nodes in the tier you specify
    • Miner Hireling: After 2 hours, gives you 200 random common harvests from stone & ore nodes in the tier you specify
    • Tradeskill Recipe Salesman: Carries all Essential recipe books for all tradeskill classes

Hopefully the 60s will be much easier going than the 50s were — seems like those 10 levels took us forever! We still have bigger and better things waiting for us down the line, though, and our next goal is to reach level 62. We will get one new amenity slot at 62; you can vote on what you think it should be in the poll to the right.

Once again, thank you all, and congratulations! :)

With just 6.5% to go until we ding 60, it’s time to give a last-minute update on the competition standings! We’ve had 5 new character enter the running since the last update. Sweet!

Keep in mind that these numbers are raw — no changes have been made with regard to players who have taken their characters out of the running.

As bonus prizes, the following characters will each receive one mastercrafted item of their choice! They can choose armor, jewelry, weapons, furniture, charms, consignment containers — anything! I will provide the rares and cover all fuel costs. These winners will be determined by the guild events log in-game. In the event that any of these…events…don’t occur on the day we hit 60, the prize will be awarded to the last character to have logged that event the day before.

  • The character who actually dings the guild level 60.
  • The character who completes the most writs the day we ding 60.
  • The first character to complete a writ on the day we ding 60.
  • The first character to earn an AA point on the day we ding 60.
  • The first character to earn a level (adventure or tradeskill) on the day we ding 60.

In other news, we’ve just dinged level 59! Level 60 is within our sights… Don’t forget to vote for your 3 amenity choices in the poll to the right; when we hit 60, the top 3 amenities will be purchased for the entire guild to use!

Well done, everyone!

With level 59 looming large, it’s time to post an update on the competition standings!

If your character’s name isn’t listed, then there has been no change in your status since the contest began on October 1. For characters starting with zero status, they’ve been granted 1 status point for the sake of the math. :)

Some New Guides
Categories: Site Updates · Tags: , ,

I’ve updated the Guild Hall Guide and added a new one: the In-Game Guild Window. I hope you all find them useful, and please let me know if you have any questions or if you see something I missed. :)

As of this writing, we’re 17% into level 58, and the long slog to level 60 is almost over. To get everyone motivated to help us reach our next big milestone, I’m holding a guild contest!

There will be TWO WINNERS in this contest:

1. The character who has the overall highest contributed status increase between now and the time we hit level 60 will receive

25 PLAT!

2. The character who has the highest percentage increase in their contributed guild status will receive their choice of ONE of the following prizes:

7-PIECE SET OF MASTERCRAFTED ARMOR

5-PIECE MASTERCRAFTED “COMBAT PACKAGE”
primary weapon, secondary weapon or shield,
ranged weapon or symbol, cloak, & pair of hex dolls

DUNGEON CRAWL OF YOUR CHOICE
with 5 high-level guildmates who are ALL mentoring you

By “highest percentage increase,” I mean the character who, during this content, increases their contributed status by the most, relatively speaking. If you go from 1,000 status to 2,000 status, your increase was 100%. If you go from 0 status to 1,000 status, your increase was 1,000%.

The contest runs from today, October 1, until we ding level 60 in-game. I’m making a note of everyone’s status as of tonight, and those are the numbers I’ll be basing the prizes on when they’re awarded.

Many thanks to Elyssia, who contributed half of the 25-plat prize!

In the event that one of my alts qualifies for either prize, it will be awarded to the next character in line.

New Theme is Up!
Categories: Site Updates · Tags:

The new theme is up and running! :D I’m still working on polishing a few bits and getting some more content up, but the bare bones are here. Please register for your account and make yourselves at home!

Please note that you will still need to login to Dragonfly (the old site) if you need to update your roster claims. I hope to have a WordPress port of Roster Master one of these days, but until then, I’d rather use DF than not have a roster at all. ;)
