General Information about "Big Family"

Generally everyone will help you willingly. You should start asking members with same guildrank for help first, because for example officers and veterans have others targets than recruits.
Should there be bigger problems that a member from same guildrank is not able to solve, please contact an officer, guildmaster or at least the founder "Dinosauer".
Everyone can join the Big Family and will get a chance. The only thing that is important for us is to have active and friendly members.
If you want to invite a friend to the guild and you don't have the permissions for that, please contact an officer or guildmaster. They will take care for the invite then.

How long can I stay offline?
Every recruit, which is longer than one month off, will be kicked from guild. Members have got two month and veterans three.
Guildmasters and officers will be demoted to veteran after one month offline but altogether it is at least three month allowed.
Should there be more member requests than space, then the recruit with longest offline time will be kicked.

General Guildrules

We want to have friendly members with good manners. Should there be some discrepancies we will talk about that.
If it is not possible to find a solution, there will be consequences that can effect that someone has to leave the guild at worst.
Also it is not allowed to ruin the name of the guild in public. For example it is forbidden (in public or in guild) to:
1) ...beg (doesn't matter if it is about money or energy or something else).
2) ...talk bad about the guild or talk about guildstuff in public. That is non of externals businesses.
3) ...flame other players (doesn't matter from which guild).
4) ...invite members without asking. In every case you need to ask before inviting. You can do that also openly in guildchat.
If you need help contact first the members with same guildrank like you are, because for example officers have other targets than recruits.
5) ...disgrace somehow else the guild or its name or members.

Special Guildrules for officers and guildmasters
Every demotion will be discussed with the guildmasters and approved by Dinosauer.
Officers are allowed to audit Membership and Veteran-Tests. Guildmasters are allowed to audit every test except the guildmastertest.
Officers and guildmasters are allowed to invite new recruits, but need to have a look that they don't have nasty names.
Breaches of the rules will lead to demotion to rank veteran.
Every officer and guildmaster was instructed and has aggreed on this additional rules.

Special Guildrules for Guildhall and Guildstorage

Guildhall:
The Guildhall is a very expansive benefit. Everyone is invited to spend money for it, but nobody is forced to. The easiest way is to do a Vana-run with four persons.
Afterwards everyone is offering his loot from this run. If everybody do so once a week, then we would be able to have a very beautiful Guildhall.
Every offering, doesn't matter if for furniture or upkeep, is to be paid directly to the Guildhallbank. Everything that is above the weekly upkeep amount will be used for furniture.
Shouldn't there be enough money for upkeeping, we will cancel as much rooms as needed to have the upkeep paid.
According to prior agreement from Dinosauer it is possible to buy and create an own room. But then the costs for the room-floor (incl. furniture and weekly upkeep) is to be paid by the user of the room.
It goes without saying that stuff from private-rooms are not to be redecorated or removed except from the owner himself.
If the upkeep from an owner is not paid until wednesdays noon, the owner has to pay a double upkeep as punishment.
Why double? Because we also have to pay the double upkeep to unlock the guildhall again, if we didn't make it to pay the upkeep.
If the upkeep is payable even without the missing upkeep from the roomowner, the missing roomupkeep is to be paid to "Unterhalt".
If the missing roomupkeep is responsible for a Guildhallsealing, the roomowner must pay the upkeep anyway to unlock the guildhall again.
Anybody that owns a room and who is not responsible for the sealing doesn't have to pay their upkeep during the sealingtime of course.
The upkeep of their rooms is to be paid also by the person who was responsible for the sealing. If the upkeep is still not payable from the owner,
the owner will be dispossessed and the rooms and the furniture will be belong to the community then.
A future renting is only possible if the arrears inclusive the penalty is payed at once to "Unterhalt" and the upkeep for the first week of the new renting is paid in advance to guildtreasury.
Buying furniture and redecorating furniture from public rooms are only made by Dinosauer or Kampfkuh.
Should there be anything that needs to be changed in the guildhall, then this is to be discussed with mentioned persons.
Breaches of this rule will be punished immediately with demotion to rank member. A promotion after this punishment is only possible with a special payment to the guildhall.
The height of this payment is decided by the guildmasters. Anyway a special payment does not allow any (further) redecorations.
If someone is caught in the design mode (even if it is without saving) then this person gets a warning. If this person is caught again, he will be demoted also to rank member.

Energyfountain:
We have an energyfountain, but it is not placed at the moment for the community because we cannot see a benefit for our guild at the moment.
Those who want to have an energyfountain in their own room needs to make sure that a suitable door (member-door, veterans-door, officers-door) is installed to make sure it is inaccessable for recruits.
Everyone that places an Energyfountain in their rooms is alone responsible for it. Even in case of theft the injured person has to follow up the payback alone.
If the circumstance is not able to be cleared by the injured party alone, the injured party can request a judgement from the guildfounder. In any case the injured party needs to prove the accusation.
If a judgement is delivered and the payback isn't done after one week, the injuring party will leave the guild automatically and will be banned permanently.
It is recommended that the payback with crystalenergy will be done by way of an officer or guildmaster so that the officer/guildmaster can attest that the payback was done.
As long as the penalty is not paid, the injuring party will be demoted to rank recruit.

Guildstorage:
In the Guildstorage you can put materials, weapons, armors and recipes. The guildstorage is not bought to enrich some persons and make some persons poorer.
Everybody that takes out something of it should pay something other from at least same value into it. For example: a recruit that is doing Snarbolaxruns have a lot of sharp fang materials, that he doesn't use.
If he needs some materials that are dropped by doing Jelly King or Vanaduke, then he should give some of his materials that are dropped on Snarbolaxruns.
If someone needs a rare 3-Star recipe that is not available in the hall of heroes, then he should exchange it to another 3-Star recipe that is also not available in the hall of heroes.
In very special cases, that a recipe from guildstorage is urgently needed, and you don't have any recipe to give as exchange you may pay in materials with same value.
Same rules effect weapons and armors in the guildstorage.

How can I get promoted?

In this guild there are tests where you can get through to be promoted.
You can get through the first test 10 days after joining the guild and you have to wait every time 10 days until you are allowed to do the next test.
All tests contains a practical test and a theoretical test where you have to answer questions about the Guildrules. All tests will be only you and the auditor.
The difficulty of the mission (normal, advanced, elite) is choosen by the correctness of the theoretical test.
Everything is answered 100% correctly: The testee can choose between normal, advanced and elite.
One of the three questions is not answered 100% correctly: The testee can choose between advanced and elite.
Two of the three questions is not answered 100% correctly: The testee has to play on difficulty elite.

Membership: One Snarbolax-Run without dying. You have to kill every enemy. The auditor will only watch and don't help. The test can be audited from every officer or guildmaster.

Veteran-Test: One Roarmulus- or Jellyrun without dying. You have to kill every enemy. The auditor will only watch and don't help. The test can be audited from every officer or guildmaster.

What is the benefit of beeing tested?
The guildranking is implemented to see at one sight who is able to help you and who is good for what job. You also might find easyier a party to help you on your way.
Another Benefit is the increased access to the guildhall and the guildstorage, which gives you more security for your exchange objects.
Besides that you have the benefit of beeing allowed to stay longer offline with every guildrank (see General Information about "Big Family").

Weapons- and Armorguide

Each player did ask himself someday: Does my equipment make sense and is it enough?
As the Guildfounder I have made myself almost all weapons and armors and was able to test each of them sufficiently.
Some weapons or armors are similar to each other and sometimes it is a matter of taste. Because of that I will write the similar ones aside after a forward slash.
You will see next a listing of weapons which are good to reach almost everything in game. I have listed them in sequence in which it should be made. First weapon is on top.
I have written down also the alchemic path. On the very left you will see the groundversion and on the very right the 5 Star version.
(I am not talking about the equipment for shadow lair or dangerous prestige here, because each of them need complete different equipment.)
