With the new guild and banking features coming in Full Release, I was thinking “What if there was a guild that would act as a hub for all things PvE? Like an.. Adventurer’s Guild..”
Don’t know if it’s already been done (And if so, please link me whatever server it is currently so I can join it), but I think there could be a player-run guild that accepts jobs from people relating to PvE and maybe PvP as well (Could have a clan and a guild for the same community).
Basically it would just be a generic adventurer’s guild for Arcane Odyssey. You could pay a certain amount of drachmae to list a job that you’d want completed (Like paying 50k drachmae to get help with conquering Silverhold) and players can review the listings and accept them, do the job, then claim their reward.
On the PvP side, You could hire mercenaries to raid islands with you or protect you during cargo runs depending on what you need that may require player combat.
Some general ideas on how it could work:
A player goes onto the communities discord server and opens a ticket with a job. They list their price and what they want to be done, then they pay it to a “treasurer” member of the clan or community.
The treasurers job would be to act as a middleman for the job, making sure that the people who put effort in get paid for that effort (Because, if left to just the two parties problems can arise. If you pay first for the job, the people who took the job can just take your money and leave, if someone waits until after to pay, they could just get whatever they requested and not pay in the case of a job). Active job listings can be put in a channel, doc, or a google sheet for safe keeping and when the job gets done and the job lister is satisfied, the reward gets transferred to the person or group that completed the job. There would probably be a certain cut taken by the treasurer (Maybe 5-10% of the listing) so that they don’t do charity work.
Listing prices would likely have minimums so that jobs that nobody will accept don’t get through, you could pay by hour (but risk people slouching off) or pay a flat amount related to how many hours it should take to get the job done and the difficulty of the job (In the case of the Silverhold example, it could take 2-3 hours depending on the amount of players sinking ships but overall its an easy task, so 50k drachmae seems like a good price, but that all can be changed around as the community would see fit). Prices may also be accepted in terms of an items value in drachmae (basically just bartering).
I’m too lazy and inexperienced with making discord servers so I probably won’t do all of this and overall it’s a big idea that likely won’t come to fruition, but if this post gets enough support and people think its a good idea I may start to make it in preparation. At the very least, I hope this post may inspire people to make the idea themselves or help me with it. Glory to PVE and to a more connected community!
, conquering silverhold isn’t that hard.
