Trise.2865 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 My guild fell apart shortly after Scribing was introduced... and someone else claimed the title of "Guild Scribe", so I never bothered with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrizzFreston.5290 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Anyone in our guild can scribe and decorate, but very little people are interested. Everyone in our guild has at least dabbled in scribing and IF i put up a guild goal for a more expensive decoration the donations do trickle in eventually.But even when i completely emptied the guild hall no one was interested, beyond the one other decorator. Neither when I placed stuff in the way just so people would need to use decorating remove stuff. There were some active times the first year, but any interest has long since waned by the lack of repeatable, or meaningful goals in guild halls.When they stopped working on guild content, it quickly became almost neglected content.

Taelac.7036 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 I hit L400 pretty early, as one of three people in my primary guild to go for it early to make sure that we could access everything. I flog for donations during festivals and we've blocked off one section of the guild bank for general materials, so folks can contribute to guild decorations and consumables in trickles rather than floods, and it works for us pretty well. Having it maxed got me an invitation to my secondary guild, when none of their scribes were online one night when someone needed siege blueprints and asked in DR for help. I understand that it's much less expensive to max out now, but I don't regret the cost of doing it earlier to support my guild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedievalThings.5417 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 I started this recently, cause "why not" and got to 25. Remembered the reason I didn't want to do it, so 25 for life it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vision.7265 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Maxed but I don't really use it. All but one guild gives me permission to make stuff and decorate anyways but I'm not a decorator by any measure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illconceived Was Na.9781 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 The total cost now of self-leveling (i.e. not taking advantage of blueprints that can be used in the guild hall), the total cost is under 120 gold. That's triple what it costs to max any of the armor disciplines (as of today), triple for two of the weapon making disciplines (and 5-6x versus artificer), and massively more expensive than Chef or Jeweler (that last is to be expected).As someone else said: I mostly maxed it for Uzolan's Orchestra.

It cost me about 40 gold for 10 levels before adept doing decorations. Thankfully the festival decorations are coming in without the need to build the pre-requisites.

It's sort of the least-effort efficiency method.It cost me about 40 gold for 10 levels before adept doing decorations.

Fleabite.7528 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Maxxed ages ago, tho never made a thing of worth.Might look at that big oompah organ for our guild hall. Probably won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eloc Freidon.5692 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 AP, baby!When I had the excess Gold/Resources I decided to finish it. Otherwise it would still be stuck at 20~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clyan.1593 Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 I did it only to do the uzolan achievement. When the game launched I made a guild with some friends, to this day we haven't managed to get the guild hall (since Im the only one left playing),so I had to do it in another guild's hall. I really had no idea what I actually was crafting, it was quite expensive too, but in the end, I got the achievement... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eros.6801 Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 I don't and won't touch scribing. I would happy to spend thousands of gold just to level up scribing IF it offers private hall version, not guild hall. I was original from Rift and one thing i like so much about that game is "Dimension System" which i think would be fantastic if anet can do something similar. Basically they copy and paste a certain zone or corner of a map and turn it into your own private area, you can go decorate, hunt and craft new deco. It has ranking system via upvotes from everyone visited your home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashantara.8731 Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Practical for some runes/sigils and GH decoration. I hope there will be more to look forward to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rasimir.6239 Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 385 to be exact. Maybe two or three times a year I decided that it's time to finally max it, but usually it only holds for a few levels before I'm tired of wasting good resources on mindless craft leveling again ;) . We do have several maxed guild scribes though, so I'm not really missing out on anything but the final scribe crafting backpack :) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorani.7205 Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 I was the only dedicated guild scribe when HoT came out and I am pretty much the only one really interested in decorating the GH.The main problem with decorations is that there is no guild vault for that, so as a Scirbe/decorator you have to pay everything from your own resources (unless guildies drop specific things into the guild vault for you to take).Sadly, the GH as a concept is dead and was barely alive when it started.PS; Scribing is a lot easier to level up, if you can build on an existing GH which has unlocked all upgrades. There will always be things to refine and create that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultramex.1506 Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 400, gotta get that 40 AP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNecrosanct.4028 Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 I levelled it to 400 right when it came out, and before the nerf to the requirements. If you think it is a gold sink now, you should've been there at the launch of Heart of Thorns.I personally like decorating, but I realize that the Guild Hall isn't a feature in this game that interests many people. Since I'm a hoarder materials are rarely a problem, so I can work around it, though. But even if I hadn't been interested in making the different decorations, I would still have levelled it to 400 just to be able to make the gold raid trophies and give them a nice spot in the Guild Hall.

Lord of the Fire.6870 Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 I mainly did it for guildhall completion and for just having one . On the other side besides decoration elements everything else you can build with it is way too expensive and there always cheaper ways to get your banners or wvw tactics. Reason is the use of dust in all forms for producing nearly everything I personally thing replacing it with resonating sliver and higher tier version of it would be a win- win because resonating sliver is super cheap and there is way too much in the trading post of it.7https://gw2tp.net/items/52922-resonating-sliver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
