SRS News Week 38

Doggy paddle in the SRS Wolf Pack Event, hilarious!

Hey folks,

Here's the current roundup of news. Trader We are still regularly winning Ebonheart right next to the wayshrine at 2 million bid per week. I tried 1.5 million and we still got a trader but not the one I wanted. 2 million seemed to be enough to secure it. We used to have around 21-25 pages of items to sell in the store, each page holds 100 items. This is now down to 14 pages. Consequently, the amount we are raising in taxes is about 2 million every 6 weeks, which gives 1 free trader every 6 weeks instead of every 3 or 4 weeks. So the message is, we have a trader, it's expensive but very useful for members, so please make sure your 30 sales slots are full and make sure you are running the Tamriel Trade Centre addon so that you can see the best sale price to use.

I still see people listing items at ridiculously high prices that are never going to sell, I guess the people doing this have no clue what an item is worth and just pluck a figure out of thin air. Remember when you list something, there is a percentage-based fee, so it costs you gold to list it and if it's too high you will never sell it, so what these people are actually doing is wasting their time and throwing away their gold, which doesn't make any sense to me. Sadly, those people probably won't see this blog anyway so this will continue to happen. Trials

We almost got Z'maja down last night, 23% she was at when we finally wiped again and gave up, that's not bad considering we were two players down. I can confirm that as an oakensoul user my sorceror did not get Voltaic Overload. I wanted to say a huge thank you to the team that joined the trial last night. That was a massive effort, and you all showed incredible persistence for nearly 2.5 hours. We made amazing progress, and it’s clear we are right on the verge of cracking it. Let's build on this momentum for next Sunday!

Reward Clarification

A quick clarification came up regarding the rewards for this trial. For our first-ever guild clear, there's a special 500 YGP (Yearly Guild Point) bonus for the players in that successful group. Think of it as a "server first" style prize to celebrate a big milestone for us as a guild!

Someone also brought up a very fair point about whether this is unfair to members who can't make it to the trial. I completely understand that perspective. Rewarding participation is always a tricky balance, but our goal is to offer multiple ways to contribute. For those who prefer other activities, remember you can earn significant YGP by writing guides for the website or helping in other ways. We want everyone to feel they can earn rewards, not just raiders.

Ultimately, the entire Guild Point System is just a way for me to give back to a community I love and to encourage us all to play together more. It may not be perfect, but it comes from a place of wanting our guild to thrive. Thank you all for your hard work and dedication. Let's keep making this a great place to be!

Event Tool

For all of you who log GP reports, and that's quite a few now, I have made a small change that should be quite useful. Now you no longer have to click ok after logging an event, just hit the Log GP Report button and you can go back to the game. If you do hang around long enough you will see a "Logging complete" message as shown here.

Raffle

NephtysRin won the large raffle this week with number 112 with only two tickets. They win 1.335 million gold. Congratulations!

New Discord Channel For Daily Events

A request was received to add a daily events channel. This has been done, and in this channel the Dwemer Auto Bot will list tons of stuff about the game, on a daily basis it will list the day's pledges, endeavours and more, and weekly, will list things like the Luxury Furnishing vendor, the Golden vendor, the IA vendor and more, check here daily to see which events you need to do.

Guild History and Banking ZOS has fixed the guild history and banking is available once again.

If you have bank access (Adventurer and higher) please remember to deposit useful items from time to time.

This means if your rank is at Adventurer, then you can withdraw items. If you don't have access but require something, the best option is to ask in chat if someone can obtain it for you and mail it to you.

Bank access is available to Adventurer rank and above. To achieve adventurer rank you need to have 25 events logged with the guild. You can check your status for achievement and events under the members menu or click here

Duelling There was no duelling last week due to the Undaunted Event taking priority. Make the most of this event to gain your event tickets and Undaunted keys. Keys can be used with the Undaunted Vendors to buy skill styles, armour pieces and motifs, some of which you can sell to make lots of gold.

Duelling will be back this week at 9 pm Thursday.

New Menu System on Website

A new and really fresh way of navigating the website has been added, click this button at the top of the page to see it in action, I'd love feedback on which type of menu you prefer, the old menus that we see at the top of the page or this newer more modern menu system.

Have a great week.
