Gruneia | An Eastern Reaches Personal Build Progress Thread

What Is This?

I got inspired to build something again and since I already have a personal Cassia Bay build, this time I’ll be using Eastern Reaches to build my next mega terraformed base. Now instead of keeping my build progress a secret, I wanted to document its progress since I realized that my two other mega builds weren’t documented.

This led to the first one, being my Cassia Bay personal build, forgotten by me on how I actually built it overtime, and the second one, being The Drachma guild build, being potentially forgotten as well since my friend who owns that guild no longer plays arcane odyssey. So to somewhat save my legacy in this game, I wanted to create this thread as a way to show progress and as well as showcase its final result once I reach that point.

With all that said and done, I’ll be archiving progress with the most recent state being what’s shown as the big picture.

Build Notes
I’m somewhat not satisfied with the results so far, it feels like a huge mess when there’s so many empty spots in my personal build. Supposedly we’ll have guard NPCs in the future so I suppose I’ll wait for that.

I hope that Vetex would at least add trees as decoration since I feel like this build would need some trees at least. For now, the marketplace is done while the docks part is half-done since I still need to decorate it a bit. Problem right now is that I’m sort of disappointed with the lack of building options so my motivation is low right now…

Can you make it a titanic mound of dirt

I don’t think I’ll do that :sob: though I do plan on having a hill of some sort for the castle keep. Also since Eastern Reaches has a ton of terraforming limit, I’ll probably add an arena where Gruneia would be known for, a gladiator fight as entertainment.

You know it’s absolutely enormous when it looks that smooth at a distance

thats a clever way to make paths, stealing that for whenever i decide to terraform in 10 millennia

is the whale / cachalot supposed to be part of the build gng?
:spouting_whale:

No LOL, the cachalot somehow spawned up there for some reason.

Holy. I never knew terraforming could be taken to this level…

The island terraformation is complete now though I’m sort of disappointed with the final result. Main reason being that there are huge empty spots that I don’t know what to fill with, so I’m hoping that we get more buildings and nature decorations in the future…

is that big square on the right an arena because if not its nearly a perfect one (other than slightly uneven terrain)

Yeah it’s the arena, made it uneven on purpose to make it feel like it’s been worn down by the constant fighting in it.
