Stuff that needs done.
With such a large group of folks playing, we should never be in need of resources. When I sign on, sometimes I just sit around the compound and chat, because I'm not really sure what needs doing.
While we do have a projects page, it isn't always 100% obvious which order those things are being done, if the page is updated, and what is needed at the moment. This page will have a list of useful tasks that need to be done, most of them every day. Please learn how to do these things, and do a handful of them every day, if ya can.
DOING THIS STUFF KEEPS OUR GUILD ALIVE!
Everyone will love you for it.
At least Chinook will.
Gathering Wood
*Nothin' to it. Just grab a hatchet if you can get one, run around at the trees across the river, and drop em in the Wood chest.
*Consider going into Utilities > One Click and Related and checking off the option to gather wood with one click.
This is THE MOST USEFUL thing you can do. Consider setting your offline task to Wood Gathering every so often, as well.
Making Charcoal
*No skill needed, aside from being good enough. :)
*Just grab 350 wood (it won't all be used), 25 Water in Jugs, and approach the Charcoal Oven.
*Read the guide here: Charcoal
Getting good at charcoal and filling up the charcoal chest is awesome, and we really need it. This will never change.
Rabbit Tending
*Make sure there are only 1 female and 1 male left in there when you log off. Kill the rest. Eat high dex food first for pelts if you can.
*Make sure that there are carrots in the hutch. Please grow some!
Grow Barley
*Our hens need barley. Sekhet and Thotha are using their offline time to grow, but the more hens we have, the more barley we need.
Barley <--- Read the guide here.
*Update: Seems you can grow it pretty decently without weedkiller (Toad Skin Mushrooms, augh!)
**Basically, max out water and fertilizer on 2 or 3 patches, watch them for weeds. Harvest them if you see any.
**Brown weeds (the tall sticks) can be killed by letting Fertilizer drop to 50%, then you can add it again.
Make a Pulley!
*We have enough for now. (3/28/07)
*Take a cuttable stone out of the Stones chest and throw it on the Rock Saw. (Select "Make a pulley")
*New folks need 2 pulleys in order to get mining.
Mine some ore!
*After turning in your 2 pulleys at an SArch (amirite?), you can mine, just walk right up to the mine and click work.
*You'll get a few second Strength and Perception timer. You can just hold down W (hotkeying) if you want, it works.
*Thotha has a macro, too, that you might wanna ask him for.
Be careful that you don't "Take all" if there's a lot of stuff in the mine already mined, since you'll then have to carry it.
A list of our mines can be found on our assets page. Copper is always useful, it seems.
Smelt some ore!
*Throw 94 ore and 25 charcoal into a Smelting pot, hit Fire and walk away.
*Throw 93 ore and 22 charcoal into the Smelting furnace, hit Fire and walk away.
There are better ways of doing this, but this will always be better than not firing at all. :)
Collect silt to keep the Kilns in existence!
*The kilns break. It's one of those things. We need silt to replace them.
*Silt can be found over the river, around the trees there and a bit north, on the clay spot.
*In fact, the clay spot is the motherlode.
Fleet Furnace
*This thing makes 1 quicksilver (for thermometers) every 24 hours, if it's being fired.
*Just check it every so often to make sure it's always working on a batch.
*If not, fire it!
Stuff to do while brickmaking
*Please leave a lot of extra sand in the bin. Just run a few loads back to our chest.
*Also, please spin up and fire some Jugs while you're at it.
