I had been doing smelting to keep a stedy supply of ignots, but I agree with what Mord said, and will stop. It is going to take about 25k in ore to get Valaria to gm. She will need all we can give her.

I have reached 75 armorsmith, and can now make plate armor. If someone wants to be a jr armorsmith, we can use some help in crafting chain, and keeping the guild supplied in lower level gear. I do not get any gain from low level crafting. I will do it if needed to keep the guild geared, but if someone else wants the prowess, it is easy to get.

I do not think that putting time and resources into building a grove is worth it. We are not in need of steedgrass, or cotton. This is easy enough to get in the safe zones, or around the hamlet currently. If this is the only way to get rares, then maybe, but I still don't think it is worth it. It will only draw attention to us and make us a takeover target.

I think that we are getting close to needing an alchemist. This seems like it will be key to successful PvP. The bottleneck (so to speak) will be the empty bottles. If anyone finds a good source let me us know. My alt (Bondi) can take this on, if no one else is interested.

Regarding Ismash comments... This is just a game, but it is fun to see how we can work together. This means we take on roles, and specialize. If you have not been picked to be a crafter, then you should only use what you gather to play around with, and not take the guild supplies for your testing, unless agreed upon.

Now that I can make plate I will try and keep 3 sets in the guild bank for people to take as needed. We currently have 10 sets of banded. Just for your information the costs/resources for the different sets are as follows:
Chain... 10 gold/ 16 ignots/12 leather (need 10 str)
Scale... 80 gold/ 32 ignots/16 leather (need 20 str)
Banded.. 250 gold/ 64 ignots/28 leather (need 40 str)
Plate... 500 gold/128 ignots/45 leather (need 70 str)
+ more for fails...
