Welcome to the Mercenaries Of Crom guild website!

We have collected the resources and gold required in order to place a keep. As soon as the trader npcs are fixed, we will be placing the first piece of our city. Our city will be located in the Lacheish Plains, instance #3.


-About Us-

Mercenaries of Crom is a guild designed to excel in both PVE Raiding and PVP Sieges. Most of our members come from high-end guilds across serveral other mmos, which will provide us the experience we need to help us achieve these goals. However, to achieve these goals initially our plans are to:

- Place a thriving guild town.
- Focus on quickly leveling characters.
- Buildin both a sense of community and team between members.


In order to be a top guild, we are looking for players who are committed to helping us achieve our goals. Only players who exhibit these qualities will be considered to join, and remain in the guild.

-Guild Structure-

The Council and the Guild Master will guide the structure and direction of the guild. It is these people who will determine those that are deserving of a raid or siege spot. Players who go above the norm, exhibit superior raid attendance, siege activity, and show an enthusiasm in improving the guild will be considered for higher ranks.

The Council's job is to provide sound leadership and wise decision making to improve the guild. However, the Guild Master will have overall say.

-Guild Expectations-
  • Mercenaries Of Crom is on the Deathwisper pvp server.
  • All Members must be mature and be respecful for other guild mates.
  • Members who join are required to participate as much as they can inorder to keep their raiding spot.
  • When you join our guild you are expected to maintain a regular play schedule, as well as contribute your time to helping gather resources, run instances, etc. If you do not wish to contribute, we have no place for you, and you will be removed. (Officer discretion - if you have a problem being on please contact a officer.)
-Joining us-

We are currently accepting all players, in order to establish our ranks and give new faces an opportunity to make a name for themselves in the guild. We are looking for mature players who are interested in experiencing end-game content, as well as helping the guild progress.

Please choose and post what crafting and gathering class you will be

Posted by Darkblackwind on 16-May-08 11:31pm

Please choose and post which crafting class you will be. I personally don't want to see 30 alchemists, 25 weaponsmiths and 1 armorer. Everyone will be cooperating to craft for eachother and the guild as a whole. I don't plan on choosing my class based on what I want to make for myself.

This list doesn't matter much right now but when we start nearing level 40 (crafting level) I'd like everyone to post their class they plan to be.

I will be choosing an Architect from what I know so far about Architects.

LIST OF CRAFTERS
Architect:?
Weaponsmith:?
Armorsmith:?
Alchemist:?
Gem Cutter:?

Gathering will definitely be required to gather for the guild in the future. It takes massive effort to build a city. I'll post a gathering list once we figure out crafting.

Hardcore players guide to staying awake and feeling great.

Posted by Darkblackwind on 14-May-08 02:43am

Hey! I'm putting together a quick guide for those that will be gaming brutally hardcore at release and in the future, and want to both stay awake AND feel pretty good. This is a guide to show you how to game 14+ hours a day and still feel pretty great.

Sugery foods like chocolate and soda will keep you awake, but can give you a nasty headache if you aren't constantly eating/drinking more and more and more untill you crash (with a big headache). Try drinking green tea and eating oranges and pinapples to keep you awake. Fresh Salads will make you feel good.

These foods will make you sleepy.
Dairy products: cottage cheese, cheese, milk
Soy products: soy milk, tofu, soybean nuts
Seafood
Meats
Poultry
Whole grains
Beans
Rice
Hummus
Lentils
Hazelnuts, Peanuts
Eggs
Sesame seeds, sunflower seeds

These will make you sleepy but not as bad as those above-
Apple pie and ice cream
Whole-grain cereal with milk
Hazelnuts and tofu
Oatmeal and raisin cookies, and a glass of milk
Peanut butter sandwich, ground sesame seeds


These will simply make you relax and are low-medium in sleepiness :-)

- Pasta with parmesan cheese
- Scrambled eggs and cheese
- Tofu stirfry
- Hummus with whole wheat pita bread
- Seafood, pasta, and cottage cheese
- Meats and poultry with veggies
- Tuna salad sandwich
- Chili with beans, not spicy
- Sesame seeds sprinkled on salad with tuna chunks, and whole wheat crackers

FOODS THAT WAKE YOU UP! Most will cause you to crash a few hours later, so beware.
Energy Drinks
soft drinks
Yogurt
tea
Oranges
Veggies
Fruits
__________________________________________

This is a list of 5 good caffeine drinks that'll wake you up, but crash you about 20 minutes later. I'd actually avoid these foods as well.

FOOD CAFFEINE (mg.)
coffee, brewed, 6 ounces 105
coffee, instant, 6 ounces 55
Mountain Dew, 12 ounces 55
Colas, 12 ounces 35-45
Tea, 6 ounces 35


If you like, you can stop at Wallgreens (or a couple other places) and try out that 5 hour energy drink shot.


Here is my guide on what I do to stay awake.

1.Take a break every 10 minutes. This is no big problom if you are in the long haul. That'll give you a 4 hour break per 24 hours. And if you look at the big picture a break every 10 minutes is better than going for 20 hours then ending up taking a 10 hour break. On a break I like to take a walk or exercise. Or take a quick shower if I need one.

2.Drink, about 16 ounces of very cold water every half hour or so. This works well for me and keeps me "going" a lot. I try to avoid Caffeine.

3.Turn your monitor lighting down so your poor eyes don't burn and pop. But don't turn it too low or it will contribute to your sleepiness. This is very important. I keep my monitor at about 80% brightness when gaming. When I am going hardcore I turn it down to about 40-60%.

4.Sit on a cold chair that isn't confortable. Make sure your back and neck will be fine, but also make sure it isn't easy to fall asleep in.

5.Listen to hardcore fast paced music. Make sure you can get into it and it will not make you relaxed at all. Headbanging will give you a headache. An alternative COULD be listening to stand up comedy as long as the comedian is VERY funny. I personally listen to George Carlin.

6.Try to have it around 60F in your room. If you can afford it (and if you even have a mega air conditioning system) get the temperature down to 40-50F in your home. Or if it's cold outside, open a window and have a fan infront of it blow air in.
One other thing you can do is to just have a fan constantly blowing on you. (Can mess up vent communication)

7.In the case of AoC, think about how awesome it will be once you get to 40 and get to use the uber mammoth/rhino. Keep thinking of how fun it will be once you get to your desired goal.

8. (optional) Watch a horror movie or play a horror game before you start the night. Something that will freak you out and make you scared to sleep.

9.I eat some things that are on the "do not eat" list and I am fine. I usually eat delicious sandwhiches (home made with deli bought food), I eat chunks of cheese, sometimes drink milk, eat cottage cheese etc. I like Dairy products to keep me awake. Anything sugery will cause you to crash.
10. Try brushing your teeth before you start the night as well. It can help wake you up and make you feel refreshed.

11.Try to keep talking to fellow guild mates, but still work on leveling....
