As for those who do not yet know how to raise your guild contribution, here is a brief guide:
There are 3 easy methods:
- Donate unbound silver
- unbound silver and guild contribution are on a 1:1 ratio
- ie. donating 1L unbound silver will give you 1k guild contribution points
- There are 2 places to donate to:
- Guild Building Drawings/Blueprints: Before we can upgrade the buildings in our guild base, we need to first upgrade their blueprints. To do this, press H, click on the 3rd tab (Guild Building Drawings), then Donate.
- Guild Territory Buildings: After upgrading the blueprints, we then need to upgrade the actual building itself. To do this, go to the guild base, go up to the building that you wish to donate to, speak to that building's Doorplate NPC, and then click Donate.
- Donate materials
- we currently need the following:
- iron ingots
- copper ingots
- white poplar wood
- cypress wood
- There are 2 places to donate to:
- Guild Building Drawings/Blueprints: Before we can upgrade the buildings in our guild base, we need to first upgrade their blueprints. To do this, press H, click on the 3rd tab (Guild Building Drawings), then Donate.
- Guild Territory Buildings: After upgrading the blueprints, we then need to upgrade the actual building itself. To do this, go to the guild base, go up to the building that you wish to donate to, speak to that building's Doorplate NPC, and then click Donate.
- the amount of guild contribution points you get will depend on both the amount and also the grade of the materials that you are donating
- Run escort missions
- going through an escort mission once gives the guild 22k silver, and also gives you 11k guild contribution points
- the best cities to do escort missions at are Suzhou, Luoyang, and Yanjing
- the time it takes to complete the basic escort missions from these 3 cities differs by about 10s only
- escort mission at Chengdu is by far the most profitable, but do so with the expectation of being attacked, because that's where all the escort robbers camp
- also don't do escorts at Jinling, the escort missions there take too long
- when accepting the escort mission, MAKE SURE that you've selected the fastest cart!
- you must be in a team to do escort missions, but you can solo it
That's the basic gist of how to get guild contribution. If you still have any questions, feel free to ask in this thread, PM a Hall Leader or Dharmapala, or ask in guild chat. Add oil!
