Posted July 16, 2013 (edited) Hello! I've been a proud owner of this patch of land for almost 2 years now, since it was just a hellishly difficult patch of marsh on a hillside. However, it's time for me and the Guild to part ways, as I spend most of my playing time on Release and can't afford to upkeep two deeds at once. I will start with just a 5s starting bid, with minimum increments of 1s. I don't have a buyout. Auction will end in 72 hours. Edit: there will be 12 hours anti-snipe protection. The basics: The size of Guild Of Artificers is 31 by 51.The perimeter is 5 and it has 1 guards hired.The settlement has 4 silver, 96 copper and 23 iron in its coffers.The monthly cost is 4 silver, 16 copper and 20 iron.The upkeep will last approximately 33 days, 9 hours and 13 minutes more.This settlement has acquired knowledge that increases the productivity bonus of its citizens by 1.5%. (don't even know what this means to be honest!) Location is 41x 45y on Independence. There is no trader. However the following key features are included: 1x Merchant (currently holding various ropes and sails)51ql Mailbox with 89 strength courier cast1x 60ql guard tower1x cog1x sailboat5x rowboat (most commonly used as part of a boat bridge)1 altar of each religionMany iron veins of varying quality (I think at one point I counted 15 of them, but some of the tunnels may have collapsed)1 silver veinMany large and small carts11 (lol yes, eleven) forges of qualities between 50 and 7015 bsbs, some full of items, some empty.2 fsbs with various ingredients, including somewhere over 500 veggies75 tiles of farmland/pasture20 cattle (cows+bulls)1 5-speed horse with full 70-80ql horseshoe set and 80ql chain barding2 other 5-speed horses30x beds2x 9-tile buildings7x 4-tile buildings1x 15-tile building1x 10-tile building2x 1-tile shacks1x 8-tile building1x 15-tile building1x multistorey with 15 tiles + 15 tiles + 9 tiles + 1 tile + 1 tile + 1 tile all sat on top of a 687 dirts tall tower~over 100 tiles of unused space I consider the best features of the village to not be as straightforward to value as a trader or whatever, but it is in a fantastic coastal location and while mostly developed, the village still has several areas left growing wild (of course, since you will receive all the writs you can just as easily tear it all down and start again if you want!). There is a large public space that was twice used for a Summer Festival and so there are high quality forges, plenty of fuel, and various other useful bits, however don't be expecting a great hoard of high quality materials - these leftovers have been returned to the people who supplied them. Here are some pictures (I'll probably retake them in better weather/time hehe): Edited July 18, 2013 by Wraithglow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted July 16, 2013 Sorry to see you go Wraith. Near to FM, the shores of Crystal Lake to wander/explore by boat, and the canals connecting to other bodies of water make this a great location. A lot of work has gone into this deed and it's facilities, clay is next to the deed and tar is a short ways away.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted July 18, 2013 Ok since people have jumped on this quite late in the auction, I think it's reasonable to extend the anti-snipe time to 12hrs to allow people to sleep lol. So basically, if there's a 12 hour period from now on where there is no new bid, then that final bid has won. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
