EU (Crux) Semi-Hardcore Dungeon and Mission Focused Guild (Gandara) Recruiting.
Hello,
We are Crurifragium (Crux) and we are now reopen for recruitment of like minded players to ourselves.
About Us
We are currently a small guild of 19 members, about 10 of which are active each day. Our primary focus is dungeon running, with the new guild missions being another important aspect for us as well, whilst we also enjoy various other areas of the game as well.
The majority of our guild have been playing since launch and are experienced with many areas within the game. Guild and party chats are regularly buzzing and the group has been together for many months, meaning no drama or bickering.
Our approach is a mix of casual and hardcore, hence the semi-hardcore phrase in the title. What this means is that, we are a friendly and laid back bunch of people who are always up for a laugh and chat but we also are dedicated players and knowledgeable regarding the game's mechanics.
We aim to hit the right balance where the atmosphere and social side is matched by our knowledge, skill and dedication.
Currently, we are recruiting for people who fit this bill and want to be part of a strong group of friends, completing content. Your world isn't an issue for us, as you can guest for missions and dungeons are cross worlds as they are. We have also, recently, added a few new members to bolster our ranks and dungeon groups.
Dungeon Runs With Crux
Our dungeon runs are efficient and of a good speed as we are all dedicated, experienced and reasonably skilled players, proficient at the game's dungeon content.
We pride ourselves on the fact that we maintain our standards of play while not forgetting that no player is the finished product and we were all beginners once.
During dungeons, we choose to play the content legitimately, and avoid exploits during the combats. We do skip packs of mobs, to facilitate speed, however only in perfectly safe areas of the maps. If we're in doubt, we kill the mobs.
Dungeon runs usually begin mid afternoon and extend through the evening, with breaks for real life as necessary. It is pretty usual that we get through 20 dungeon paths or more per day, especially on quieter days and the weekends.
In terms of what paths are our favourites, CoF paths 1 and 2, HoTW path 1, CoE 1 and 2, AC Fractals are the usual haunts. Several of us have 4 or more level 80's and so repeat CoF/HoTW for each character throughout the day.
For us, the fun of variance and efficiency in the groups is key, we enjoy success and we enjoy running a lot of paths.
We are also perfectly open to running other dungeons and paths as and when they're required; for example for Dungeon Master and/or random bits of gear etc.
If you're still following and agreeing with all or most of our stance, then read on and maybe you've found the guild for you.
Guild Missions
Upon introduction of the missions, our guild had all of the previous unlocks available, with enough influence to start Bounties, and begin to unlock Treks. As we are a small group the influence gain is slow, but we are about 10k off being able to queue the Treks. We also currently have 50 merits (with another 10 or 15 due this Sunday).
We undertake weekly Bounties, on a Sunday late afternoon or early evening. Previously, this has been when we've the numbers online (typically 5 or 6) but we now have scheduled times so everyone has equal chance to participate. We aim to be highly organised with our runs, and will lead the missions with the utmost care and attention so that every member has the opportunity to participate and receive rewards.
Once Treks have been unlocked, these will be added to the event on Sunday evening. There is also the possibility of another event being added given enough demand, and/or the times being changed to meet the member's needs.
Guild Structure
On our home world of Gandara, we have unlocked all upgrades possible, bar the missions as stated above. This includes all the bank spaces and guild buffs. We typically have those buffs running over the weekend, depending on our influence gain and needs, given the requirement for queuing missions.
In terms of ranks, members start as Gladium for a brief initiation period before becoming a Legionnaire. Veteran members, or those highly active in the guild will become Centurions whilst our officers are Tribunes.
At this time, there is no call for us to have a website, but we do have access to a Mumble server for guild missions, as and when we need.
Application
Sorry for the lengthy post, but if you've gotten this far then great, it seems that maybe you and the guild could be a good match.
If you'd like to ask us any questions then please feel free to message me in game at Sheepski.5479 or the Guild Leader: Leyara.7398. Alternatively, you may message me on here also.
If you'd like to join us then great. We'd ask you to join us for an average dungeon run, just to see if we all work well together. If all goes well we'd be happy to invite you to join us. Please contact either Leyara or myself for a trial.
Again, thanks for reading and we look forward to seeing new recruits among our ranks shortly.
