Misc

Dendii went on a Thanksgiving Day 2012 salvage raid of a huge guild that had gone dormant, scored 4 warehouses full of goodies. Among the items...5K camel meat, 7K honey, 14K oil, 4K wool, 5K mutton and much more. /chat Dendii is you need any large quantities for a special project.

It Takes A Village

There is sooooo much to do in Egypt, no one Egyptian can do it all. After achieving Citizenship, performing the dreaded "University Run" and starting to progress up the levels, what's next?

There are some challenging and fun skills to hone that could benefit your guild mates...here are a few suggestions, but there are many more:

Cooking is an art and a science. A great recipe can reduce the number of players needed for group activities like a dig, and greatly increase the recovery rate of your END, FOCUS, etc timers.

Chemistry & Paints are needed for many exotic uses.

Herbs, Mining, Fishing, Mushrooms If you like to go on "walkabouts", these are great things to master...helping the guild with cooking supplies and metal ore.

Alloys, Blacksmithing, Glass Making, Gearboxes Everyone has that one thing (or three!) that they just don't "get"...if you are a master at these things people will talk about you in hushed, reverent tones.

Beer, Wine, Pyrotechnics Who doesn't like to drink and watch fireworks???

There is much, much more...be sure to read the wiki on those long desert runs!

GLENBARD MISSION STATEMENT: A Tale In The Desert is structured into a series of "tales" which last over a real-time year or longer...periodically the goals of Pharaoh are met and a new telling begins and all players start with just the clothes on their back. Technologies are needed to be researched before the universities can offer the knowledge, civilization starts from scratch. The current "tale" is a bit past the halfway point...we are hoping to get a strong group of players together THIS telling so we can be an influential guild NEXT telling :)
