The Gilded Hollow

[GIGL] proudly took the Gilded Hollow from the grasp of Mordremoth in May of 2016. But what does that mean for you as a member?

To check things out in the guild hall, you can open up your guild panel by pressing [G] or clicking the button at the top left-hand side of your screen. Once you've got that panel open, you'll see a screen like this:

Near the top-right hand side of the guild panel, there's a button [Guild Hall], click it to instantly travel to the mysterious location! Travel is free and does not cost you a copper. If you want to leave the guild hall to return to your original location (free of cost) just open the panel back up and there will be a [Leave Guild Hall] button.

After you've loaded in, you'll find yourself at a waypoint in the middle of the map. The nice thing about this is that basically everything you need is right beside the center! If you've unlocked mounts or gliding, you can use them inside the guild hall as well to get around even quicker.

Guild Treasury:

This guy is Esa the Frugal (Guild Treasurer). If you'd like to help our guild grow and unlock more special things for our hall, you can talk to him to see what materials are needed. He's pretty needy, so I try and talk to him everyday I can. Donations aren't required in [GIGL] but they are greatly appreciated as they can give us all cool things to utilize.

Once an upgrade has been filled, either myself or a Pegasus Quaggan can go and approve the upgrade, earning [GIGL] GXP (Guild Experience) and possibly unlocking more upgrades after each one! Sometimes a big upgrade will give us a cutscene, and I'll make sure to call it on Discord in case anyone wants to come watch.

Guild Bank:

All major cities have a Guild Bank NPC, and of course our Guild Hall also has one! He's directly East of the middle waypoint. Anyone of the Royal Squaggan rank and higher can withdraw and deposit into the first tab, and can message a Quaggan Templar, Quaggan Paladin, a Royal Squaggan, or Queen Squaggan if they would like things out of the second tab! This stuff is there for us all to use and share, so help yourself!

On the top left-hand side of the window, there's a dropdown that says "Inventory" by default. If you want to access the item storage of your bank, you can do so here. If you want to see your material storage and wardrobe previews, keep reading to find out how!

The Workshop:

This is where you can start learning Scribing. Scribing is a crafting profession that allows you to create decorations for your guild hall and is very cool! It's an extremely expensive profession to pick up, so I definitely only recommend it once you're more established in the game.

However, to access all aspects of your personal bank, you can interact with the Scribing Station in the tent and use the third tab, regardless as to whether or not you've trained Scribing! Hacks I tell you, hacks!

There are also quite a few resource nodes you can harvest behind the tent for free on a daily basis.

The Tavern:

The Tavern has all sorts of buffs that you can choose for your character. To get there from the middle waypoint, just head Southwest down the staircase.

Once you're there, talk to Nathan the Bartender (Guild Enhancements) to gain access to some cool buffs. All buffs are free, character specific and last for a whole 24 hours! As a tip, these buffs stack on top of all other buffs, so while you can only have one Guild Boost active at a time, you can stack with a nourishment (food), utility (potions), or any other boost and it will still increase your chosen field! This is very helpful while levelling a character.

Guild Commendations:

Each time you participate in a guild mission, you'll receive a currency called Guild Commendations. Head a little Northwest in the main plaza in the middle to talk to Stalwart Ben (Guild Commendation Trader). Here you can trade in your Guild Commendations for all sorts of goodies, ascended accessories, exotic gear and special skins, guild buffs, the whole kit and kaboodle!

There are also a few more merchants you can redeem them at in the Guild Market, to the East of the middle waypoint!

Guild Portal:

To finish off our Guild Hall introduction, let me show you the Guild Portal! Super cool, this allows us as a giant group to travel to most PvE mission locations, regardless as to whether or not your character has the waypoint.
