Guilds/queens retreat waterworks
Hello My Fellow QR-ites :)
Queen's Retreat Waterworks is a regional guild dedicated solely to the construction, maintenance and expansion of a public Aqueduct for the Test of Life.
We have set up a Guild Hall at 54 -6191 by sBody. All are welcome to join for free, though bricks and boards (for expansion of guild) are appreciated.
all donate to Aqueduct System is welcome o you dont need the test to join you can join to just help out this is a Region guild consider joining this huge project.
Queen's Retreat Waterworks
Guild elders are dedicated to the coordination and oversight of the guild and it's project. Please contact any elder to discuss. Elders:
Members
Anyone who is interested in participating in the guild or the project is welcome to join.
- Ptahiah If you aren't sure how to edit your details on this page, please message me and I'll do it for you. Also see public pottery deck and vault, below.
There is another public Pottery Deck and Vault Kiln a bit nearer the CS at Ptahiah's house 483, -6068. Thanks to everyone who helped make these, especially Haraelendil for the bearings and everyone who made firebricks!
Tower Support
The guild will try to help provide tiles for your personal tower. This will require donations of raeli tiles by members who have ovens. Once the pump requirements are met, we will look to this need.
Aqueduct System Benefits
In addition to being a test pass, there were Four major benefits to having an Aqueduct System in T3.
- The Vegetable Bonus - Near various towers there is a triple yield vegetable harvests bonus area. Veggies are grown here just like any other place, you just get 3 times as many when you harvest them.
- Growing Herbs - Herb seeds can only be planted near some aqueduct towers.
- The Attribute Bonus - You can drink from a tower and will get a 24 teppyhour (~27 RL hrs) +1 boost to a single attribute. The attribute boosted is in addition to permanent stats and in addition to food. This is especially useful when your Strength and Dexterity are not the same and you can drink to boost the lower stat to have 500 more carry.
- Moss Growth - A different varieties of moss grow at each tower. Moss is used for other tests and for monuments.
- Several chat channels have reported, since their aqueducts went up, that the bonus is now +3, and that moss type can be changed every 5 teppy mins. (Ptahiah)
What has to be done
Step one is to build an Aqueduct Pump - done! Now that this is done, individuals can build their own tower, creating a large chain of towers stemming from the main pump.
The plan is to build the Aqueduct Pump near the guild hall at sBody. Then, the chain of towers will head west across (through the sand/dirt/grass area) to the desert's edge. Then the chain will turn north and head along the edge of grass/sand towards the QR Cabbage/Leek growing spot. This path will hopefully get us a good cabbage/leek tower while also cutting through a good mix of terrain that could benefit all veggies types.
Test of Life and Points
To pass the Test of Life (or the principle), you need to get "points" for veggies grown. You will get 1 point for every harvest (not veggie) completed at your tower, or at a tower further down the line than yours. Accumulating points, then, is a group effort - we will grow veggies at the LAST tower in the chain to maximize points for everyone.
Requirements for Tower Builders
Everyone will want to build a tower. The more people who build a tower, the better for everyone. Here is what YOU must do if you build a tower:
- Collect all materials required for a tower (guild to provide raeli tiles to all through donation from members)
- Build your tower along the designated path
- Do a veggie test at your tower (to see if it's a bonus tower or not)
- Complete 1000 harvests at the LAST tower in the chain. (By taking responsibility for our own principle requirements, QR tower members will be well set to pass the test)
Construction Costs
Builds a 500 foot tall tower and a one twentieth share of a 500 foot tall pump with an upgraded cistern. If we have more than 20 people that are willing to do the "full-monty" we can adjust the fixed cost items and still collect the full amount on the variable cost items. This will allow for a higher Pump with a larger storage cistern.
This basically is the cost of a high tower near the pump and a share of the pump costs.
Cost to build the pumping station:
- 600 Steel Wire for Tension Mechanism
- 600 Copper Wire for Winding Mechanism
- 120 Moon Steel Sheeting for Waterproof Sheath
- Note that the construction site claims the pump requires 120 Moon Steel, but when loading materials it will actually only accept sheeting.
- 1 Cistern
- 50,000 White Raeli Tiles
- 30,000 Greenish Raeli Tiles
- 30,000 Yellowish Raeli Tiles
- 30,000 Pinkish Raeli Tiles
- 50,000 Black Raeli Tiles
- 100,000 Any color of Raeli Tiles
- 50,000 Rotproof, Rigid, Nontoxic Boards
- 10,000 Concrete for Base
- 100 Oyster Shell Marble
- 100 Night Granite
- 100 Grey Star Marble
Tower Construction Costs
Towers are built in a similar way as pumps. The construction tool will note how far away from a suitable location you are. You must be within 8 feet of a suitable location in order to place a construction site. See below for our specified build locations. Once placed, the construction site still may not work if it's not placed close enough to a pump or a connecting tower (it will say this and not let you add materials).
- 1 Cistern
- 5 Copper Pipe
- 200 Black Raeli Tiles (Can be provided)
- 100 White Raeli Tiles (Can be provided)
- 50 Yellowish Raeli Tiles (Can be provided)
- 50 Reddish Raeli Tiles (Can be provided)
- 50 Greenish Raeli Tiles (Can be provided)
- 50 Blueish Raeli Tiles (Can be provided)
- 600 Concrete
- 20 Tar (Can be provided)
- 11 Pipe Segment
- 14000 Bricks
- 400 Cut Stone
WANT TO BUILD A TOWER?
Contact one of the guild elders if you'd like to build a tower. The guild can supply the tiles and tar required, if you bring the rest of the materials listed above. We can also trade clay for cooked pipe segments if you need (100 clay and 100 wood per segment)
Material Contributions and Tower Order
Build Order
The initial build order was based on the contributions by members towards the cost of the aqueduct pump. Here is the old Material Contribution information.
Now that the initial build is done, new towers can be built on a first come, first serve basis. PLEASE follow the build path listed below.
Intended Build Path
| Stat | Colour |
|---|---|
| Constitution | 
|
| Dexterity | 
|
| Endurance |

- Below are the estimated build cost for each tower. The cost is an estimate because the altitude is not perfectly correct, so there will be variance.
