Chapter 437: Vol 10: The Strict Conditions for Building A Guild Headquarter

Oya then looked towards this NPC as she asked:

"What are the conditions for establishing a guild by this stone?"

The old NPC leaned his body to the back of his seat as he explained:

"You first need to gather 20 core members that will form the upper echelon of the guild, then you need to amass 100k gold coins to establish the guild, that's of course if you will only use the advantage this stone gives to you."

"What advantage?" Oya asked while feeling surprised by the huge sum of money that she had to collect. she didn't believe building a guild quarter would be this costly.

"Usually we build the guild headquarter inside the city, as players like you always come with the lowest grade in the guild stone ranks, the white garbage grade, but you have a dark gold grade stone, which gives you two advantages. 

The first is the jurisdiction to build your headquarter outside the city, but you must select a place that lies inside the town territory. The second advantage is the right to buy a piece of land and select suitable guild headquarter design for it. 

The second advantage is the one that made the cost of establishing guilds this high, but it comes with many advantages that can't be found in usual guilds," The old NPC explained slowly.

Oya was shocked to hear these words, as this was applied for building villages, town, and cities at any given game, so she rushed to ask trying to confirm her guess:

"Is that similar to establishing a village?"

"Yes, it is. The guild headquarter built by your stone is considered a moderate size village, and if you selected a high design then it might even reach the small town scale," the NPC replied confirming her guess.

"It's worth all the gold paid for it then," Oya muttered with slightly low tone, but it was heard by the NPC as he said:

"It's worth every coin indeed."

Oya then remembered the village creation stone that she had, so she asked:

"I have a stone to establish a village, and I read in its description that I can link it with my guild, is that correct?"

"Well," the NPC said while adjusting his position slightly to feel more comfortable, "In theory you can, but practically speaking you can't."

Oya was confused, so she asked:

"What do you mean? Can or can't I build a village in my guild?"

"Yes you can, but to do so you must use an equal grade of village creation stone to your guild establishment stone, or higher. You have a dark gold guild stone, which is very hard to come by, so you need to find a dark gold village creation stone or even higher. 

I can tell you now; this is an impossible task to do, so you better not waste your time in it. It's already great having a guild stone and village stone early in the game."

Oya wasn't concentrating with him, as once she heard the condition for building a village related to the guild she was putrefied. 

She recalled perfectly the grade of the village creation stone in her warehouse, it was a platinum grade stone, which meant she could build this village side by side with the guild headquarters. 

Her brain worked fast trying to calculate the effects of having both under her control, but soon she gave up as the odds were really endless. The only fixed fact here was the high prosperity and special esteem her guild would have.

"Let's say I have found such a tone, hypothetically, so how can I build this village? Can I build it anywhere or I must build it beside the guild headquarter?"

Oya tried to ask about the conditions for building the village without raising more suspicions towards her, but she failed. 

This NPC was old already, and saw many things in this life, so he figured out this little player in front of him already had a village creation stone of dark gold grade at least, or she knew a way to get one. 

This was really shocking for him, as he never met someone like her before throughout his entire life.

"Well, let's say, hypothetically, you got this stone, then you have three options for you. 

The first one is to build the village beside the guild headquarter, the second is to build it anywhere in the premises of Ihnasia city. The third one, which is the option I usually recommend, is to merge both guild headquarter with the village to form a higher version of both."

Oya thought for a while before asking seriously:

"May I know why you recommend the third option?"

"It's simply because when you build your guild headquarters out in the open, you need to consider the security issue and the danger of being conquered by your enemies. 

Inside the city here, we can help any guild by protecting it for certain expenses, but our protection doesn't extend outside the city walls. 

So, it's pretty awesome indeed to have both a village and a village-like guild, but that's of course with the condition of your ability to protect both of them at the same time, which is something hard to achieve if not impossible. 

So, I recommend the third option to anyone especially if he intends to do this early on the game. By merging both the village and the guild together, you will gain a new territory that's on par with medium scale or even large scale towns. 

Your defenses will get upgraded by a notch, not only on the level of walls, but including towers and defensive equipment like catapults and crossbows as examples. 

If you have absolute confidence in your ability to fight on two sides simultaneously without losing any, then go ahead and use the second option, but if not then the third one is the most suited and safest one for you."

Oya got his point perfectly and her mind began to lean towards the third option. She wasn't sure about her ability to defend the guild headquarter with her young guild, so she wouldn't risk doing it on two fronts indeed. She then asked:

"How about the money needed to do so?"

"Well, this has many variables, as any village creation stone comes with its limitations and conditions for the designs we could use to build it. 

Also building the village from scratch is more costly than modifying the already existent guild headquarter, so I can't give you a definite answer here," The NPC explained slowly trying to elaborate how difficult it was to answer such a question.

"Then approximately how much will it cost?" Oya asked as she wasn't ready to give up knowing this critical piece of info now. She wanted to know how much money she needed, so she could put plans early on.

"Well, you need approximately five times the amount needed to establish your guild, which means you need 500k gold coins at the very least," The NPC said after giving this matter some thought.
