Welcome to the Egyptian Pyramid Project Agency

We are continuously looking for donations to auction although we have already received quite a few, Thank you very much to those who have already donated to us. Anything is useable to make up mats especially CC to process metals.

There are chests at every CS where you can stash mats.

Chest locations are as follows:

There will be a block pushing race taking place this Saturday 9th Febuary starting at 10 am and finishing at 10pm EST at the pyramid in Sinai at 3416,4546. Anyone can come and join this event but you will need tech pyramid construction level 1 to participate available at any university that has opened the tech eg karnak. Every block pushed in will receive 1 chit to be used later for an auction on site. Groups of people will be allowed to pool their chits and bid together. Food will be provided on site but it has negative carry allowing you max of 10 no more. Minimum bids may change but not after the event has started.

Background

The aim of this guild is to coordinate the building of Pyramids. Members include Egypt's most experienced builders and chefs to assist us in making this huge task as efficient as possible.

Pyramids provide blessings to all of Egypt, and also unlock the ability for Egypt to build even larger ones.

Current Progress on Pyramids

For consideration - a more effective search patten to minimize pushing : Pyramid Prospecting Proposal

Seven Lakes

There will be a discussion on E! as soon as it can be arranged. Any questions can be answered then so watch this space or E! for time and day.

Why build Pyramids

There are many reasons for this, but most importantly in previous tales there were several tests and projects that required group contribution which proved to be of great benefit to our society not only because you get to know more people, but also it increases your wish to help others and creates a better society.

This tale has seen more tests and projects where these group efforts are not required and people are working a lot more alone. Pyramid building is a project that every single person in Egypt no matter what their level can participate in.

The great sense of achievement in finishing a pyramid is also something that is a must to participate in if you haven't already done so, not to mention the benefits that we all receive.

To assist us in completing these Pyramids we need help with pushing blocks. This can be a fun task if large groups can join even if it's for an hour at a time. In the past Egypt has gained a lot of pleasure from group activities (Raising of the ancient monuments comes to mind) so come along and bring your guildies and be part of this.

All that is required in order to participate is Pyramid Construction skill. There are 7 levels of pyramid construction learnt at universities of each discipline as follows:

Skill Level Ability Gained
1 Push limestone blocks
2 Dig up limestone blocks
3 Place boreholes and tap rods in them
4 Add blocks to the site
5 Align blocks in the site
6 Create a site
7 Consecrate a completed pyramid

Tale 2 History

Pyramids Pyramids, buildable in many sizes, are a cornerstone of Egyptian culture. In the first telling, completing a pyramid was one of the Tests of Architecture. This is no longer true in Tale 2, but pyramids are still useful in other ways. Pyramids (up to the first 7 built of each type) provide blessings to all Egypt, and also unlock the ability for Egypt to build even larger ones.

Pyramids are made from Tooth Limestone blocks which can be found by prospecting for them in the desert. You need to find enough blocks for your pyramid type, push them to and load them into a pyramid construction site, then consecrate the pyramid to complete it. In order to fully build a pyramid, you will need all seven levels of [Pyramid Construction]? (skills page shows what the individual levels do, if you only want to help out).

Pyramid Types Presently we are able to make only 5 types of pyramid. Last telling they eventually unlocked 6 types of pyramids. Once Egypt builds 7 of a particular pyramid type, the next size becomes available. Currently we are able to build the following types:

Name Blocks Tiers Type Effect
Pyramid of the People 14 3 Step Can be rigged for the [Initiation into Thought]?
Pyramid of the Fertile Land 55 5 Step First seven each increased vegetable harvests by +1 across Egypt
Pyramid of the Deep Ocean 140 7 Step First seven each increased fish yields by +1 across Egypt
Pyramid of Renewal 506 11 Step First 7 each increased the duration food stays fresh by +2 days across Egypt
Pyramid of the Distant Plains 1240 15? Smooth-Sided?
[Pyramid of Many Wonders]? 2470 19 Smooth Sided Requires seven PoDP (and/or?) can be built by an Oracle of Architecture

Pyramids First Telling

Our ancestors eventually unlocked six sizes of pyramid. Given Teppy's love of the number 7, one could speculate that a seventh, larger type existed, but was never revealed because insufficient Pyramids of Many Wonders had been completed by tale's end. This hypothetical 7th pyramid type has been included in the following chart as an extrapolation of the previous numbers.

Name Blocks Tiers Type Effect
Pyramid of the People 14 3 Step Could be rigged for the [Initiation into Thought]?
Pyramid of the Fertile Land 55 5 Step First 7 each increased vegetable harvests by +1 across Egypt
Pyramid of the Deep Ocean 140 7 Step First 7 each increased fish yields by +1 across Egypt
Pyramid of the Living Forest 506 11 Step First 7 each increased wood harvests by +1 across Egypt
Pyramid of the Distant Plains 1240 15 Smooth-Sided First 7 each decreased waypoint time travel costs across Egypt
Pyramid of Many Wonders 2470 19 Smooth-Sided Each had a unique effect (2x food duration, water mine producing 2 gems)
Possible Type 5525 25 Unique? Pure theory.
