> [@Mister\_Rik](#): > > You should be able to just click in the box where it says “Guild Message Of The Day”, and a box will pop up where you can enter your message. Then click “Accept”. > Do you mean people aren’t taking anything from the bank? If so, that’s because you specifically need to authorize them to do so. The guild settings automatically give new members the rank of “Initiate”, and until you click the boxes to give people access, nobody but you can take stuff out of the bank. It’s done this way so that it’s less likely somebody will steal everything. For now, leave the Initiate rank as it is - you want to make sure you can trust people before you give them full access. > > In your Guild window (type “O” and then click on the “Guild” tab in the window that appears). > > Click on the arrow button next to “Player Status”. This will show you everybody’s rank. It should show you as “Guild Leader” (or whatever the default leader rank is called), and everybody else as “Initiate”. > > Now, click on the “Guild Control” button. This will open a new window where you can set what each rank is allowed to do. [It will look like this](http://www.mister-rik.com/hosted/guild_leader_permissions.jpg). If it’s not showing Guild Leader (or whatever _your_ rank is) at the top, select your rank from the dropdown menu at the top of the box, where it says “Select guild rank to modify”. I think all those checkboxes will be automatically checked, but if they’re not, go ahead and check all of them. This lets you, as the Leader, do everything. The boxes at the bottom are grayed out - they deal with bank access, and since as Leader you have full access, you don’t want to change any of those. > > Now, from the dropdown menu, select “Initiate”. [It will look like this](http://www.mister-rik.com/hosted/guild_initiate_permissions.jpg). I recommend leaving it just like it is for now. Initiates/brand new members can listen and talk in guild chat, but that’s all. > > Select “Member” from the dropdown menu. [Now you’ll see this](http://www.mister-rik.com/hosted/guild_member_permissions.jpg). Check the box labeled “Gold” after the word “Withdraw”. In the box where it says “Max Gold/Day”, enter a small amount, like 10. This will allow people with the Member rank to withdraw up to 10 gold per day. Then down where it says “Guild Bank Tab”, check “View Tab” and “Deposit Items”. This will let Members see what’s in the bank and deposit items in the bank. If you want to let them take items _out_ of the bank, put a number in the box labeled “Withdraw Items (stacks/day)”. I recommend just putting a “1” in there for now. If a member wants more than one item (or stack of items, for things like potions), they’ll have to ask you, and you can take it out of the bank yourself and mail it to them. > > Now, when you decide you trust somebody and want to let them take things out of the bank, just click on their name in the guild window. A little box will open on the side, and you’ll see their rank, and an up/down arrow next to their current rank. Click the “up” arrow to promote them from “Initiate” to “Member”. Now they can do the things you allowed Members to do in the step above. > > If you want to practice, try promoting my toon “Badlilsister”, or **jayjay** ’s toon, since you know you can trust us not to steal everything 🙂 **Rik** , buddy! You wrote all of that out for me, didn’t you? THANKS!!!🙂 This is the kind of stuff that makes me wish I knew y’all in person, like. So much kindness here. Lotsa love too.🙂 Thanks Bill ---

If I get time tonight, I might level Jaejae up a bit. It’s been a while since I played a…hmmm…I THINK she’s a paladin. Tells you how long it’s been since I actually played HER, other than signing **Quasi** ’s charter. ---

> [@Skammer](#): > > You can get a purple wand from Anub, the last boss in Heroic AN – although good luck with that, it never seemed to drop for me. You’re better off with the Emblem of Triumph (?) wand, which I eventually settled for even though it had +hit. Actually, for a fresh-80 caster, Hit is probably going to be \*very \*necessary, seeing as Hit is \*the \*top DPS stat for any DPS class up to the cap. They’ll eventually dump it as they gear up, but until then… ---

The best way to gather eggs? Let your 7 year old first grader play on your 80 during spring break! He LOVES getting eggs. Of course, he also sometimes signs up to a raid or dungeon if I am not paying attention (i.e. asleep on the couch). Then again, he often plays BETTER than other members of the party! ---

Time to brag…I did about 45 minutes worth of egg collecting in Falconwing Square last night and got about 120 eggs total. Of those 120 eggs, I got: Blossoming Branch Spring Flowers Spring Robes Black Tuxedo Pants Elegant Dress & Spring Rabbit’s Foot! Did they loosen up the loot tables, or what? ---

> [@Yeticus\_Rex](#): > > Did they loosen up the loot tables, or what? Couldn’t say, but I got the same amount. I picked up _three_ Spring Rabbit’s Feet in eggs. Made the whole deal a lot easier, but it was painful having to throw them away. ---

**jaejae** and **Henchi** helped me figure out how to get everone promoted and stuff, but I’m still a little confused about the guild vault. On the far left, in a couple of slots were some items I couldn’t use, but **jaejae** couldn’t get into that part. Would that be because she’s only a level 12 and those items were meant for a higher level player and she can’t see them… OR… do I need to buy something else just for items. It doesn’t seem like I could drop items in there if I had to have a separate thing to hold 'em, right? For just a couple of minutes there, Ol’ **Wolk** forgot about **Heather** and told **jaejae** she “sho do got a purdy mouff”, and she took off a-runnin’. I reckon she don’t **want** them promotions or _need_ that gold!😉 **Henchi**? You like movies about gladiators?😉 I wanna thank **Mr. Rik** again for those instructions, which I printed out and are laying right next to me. I just thank ALL of you for helpin’ this old dude and his pal **Wolkie** do this thing which is so much fun for me. Quasi ---

Did the meta-achievement for Noblegarden last night. . .so I got my first title! Goldshire was crazy, but Azure Watch never got too crowded. Kharanos was even less crowded, but I couldn’t see the damn eggs easily. Also, the only thing that seemed to want to drop for me were the Tuxedo parts and the dress. . .which meant that I had to spend chocolate for the achievements. If I never see a brightly colored egg again, I think I’ll be okay. I can’t camp it, though; it’s just so boring! And I’m pretty sure I’d get distracted. My friend found a spot in Azure Watch though that was by four spawns, and he cleaned up. Bah. I’d rather zoom around like a maniac. ---

So the Burning Dogs took down the Construct Quarter, and then moved on and took out Sapphiron and Kel’Thuzzad (or however his name is spelled). No wipes, including on Thad; my shadow priest (Rumpole) made out like a bandit, turning in his blue level 200 cloak and dagger for new upgrades - a 213 dagger, I think, and probably a higher-level cloak since it dropped off of Kel himself. On the other hand, I think I had the record for most deaths on the night - twice on Grobulus when I walked too far towards the poison to drop off my disease cloud (one of our druids helped me out the first time), and once on Sapphiron when I didn’t run for the ice block until it was too late. I can see how Kel must be MUCH harder on 25-man - it was quite easy for me (as range dps) to find a space where there wasn’t anyone within 10 yards, and from there it was just button-pushing occasionally interrupted by being frozen into an ice cube, plus one void zone. Anyway, I think I’m proudest that we managed to take down Thad when at least half the raid had never fought him before; the plus minus stuff went pretty damn smoothly all things considered. ---

> [@Shot\_From\_Guns](#): > > I’ve seen hardcore raiders flake out on Thad–kudos to you guys for the great work! I was very glad to have DBM running - there was one point where I was getting locked into trying to keep all my DoTs running properly, and it shouted at me to MOVE DAMMIT, and so I did. ---

I’m thinking about doing a character transfer from Windrunner to Cairne. I have 8 characters on Windrunner (my first server), 7 of which are Alliance and 1 of which is Horde (level 70 BE hunter). Meanwhile, over on Cairne I have 3 Horde characters and no Alliance characters. I think my single Horde character on Windrunner wants to move over to Cairne and play with my other Horde toons. Plus then he can join the Burning Dog Legion! 🙂 ---
