    Default Chaosknights rough decay calculation

    Ok so i formed up some rough numbers about how decay might work. From what i can tell we lost 4k renown for our first decay hit, i estimate that we have about 60 accounts in the guild. This explains why our hit was significantly smaller than Korthos army which has probably 500 accounts (They lost over 30k). So ive calculated that we lost 70 renown per account at lvl 26, and it progressively gets worse as you get higher levels. From what i can tell it seems like it goes up by 70 per account per lvl past 26. So if korthos army has 500 accounts, at lvl 55 (if they make it there) they would lose over 1 million Renown per day. So once we get the initial sprint done, which is hitting lvl 26, everyone is pretty much on even ground. It becomes activity per account that really matters, each account will have to pull their weight if you want a realistic goal of leveling up to the big ships. My decay progression numbers are based on a post about a level 55 guild with 25 accounts losing 50k renown on lamania. As far as i could tell 70xguild lvl past 26xAccounts seemed to be pretty acurate all across the board.

    At least it's a once per day thing and not spread out through the day. That will make it easier to nail down the math used.

    Wow. Good job!
    Now do inactive accounts (the person who hasn't been online in 2 years) still count towards the penalty?

    indeed it is going to be really interesting to see who are going to be the high level guild and who will get stuck, and where.

    So, based on these numbers, in order to maintain a level 100 guild each member would have to generate nearly 3500 renown per day.

    Have fun with that. I'll be happy with level 25.
    Have a nice day!

    Worse.

    70 * (guild level beyond 25) = 70 * 75 = 5250

    Still not impossibleby any means..run your quests, raids, etc..then make sure everyone farms.

    Not everyone, every day mind you.

    Simply one six man group goes out and runs high chest areas and quests until they have sufficiently buffered to make up for the non farming members did.

    The next day, another six take that role.

    Might be a pain, but its doable. I mean if Tink and Star can blast out TRs a guild of motivated people should be able to blast out renown

    Yeah... I don't see this happening in my guild. I don't see it happening for any guild really, but hey- to each his own. Have we determined whether the "members" number is actual unique accounts in each guild, or does it include alts too? If it includes alts... there's just no way. I only have three alts, and I can tell you that achieving 21K renown per day just to cover my guilded characters is absolutely insane.

    Edit: Reread OP and he used the term "accounts", so perhaps accounting for alts is unnecessary.

    Due to our inactivity, hubby and I are fully expecting to be booted from the guild.

    I was trying to play there more often, but with our own guild on Orien and trying to get our own airship, its taking up most of both our time working on g uild leveling.

    I miss CK and love all the people there. I know I get cranky at times.

    Dark, do what you need to do.

    Leaves you and the guild with fresh cupcakes and milk for Miss Asia.

    forcing to boot inactive accounts its stupid i think... in any case, an account should be counted for the dayly decay if it logged in that day... so if you logged but didnt got any renown you costed your guild but if you dont log for a few days the guild doesnt needs to boot you...

    Now, are you certain that it is by account and not by members? I ask, because the guild ranking seems to calculate per characters and not per account. I know Forgetten League on Orien doesn't have 355 accounts, but does have 355 characters...

    This makes me wonder how long till im booted from my guild for working too much and not playing enough.I play alot on the weekends but weekdays is work time for me and working 60 hours in 4 days does not allow much gameplay time .aw well ,it seems that this reknown will punish the people who have other things to do besides farm reknown.I think there should be a way to turn it off for a guild by the leader if the guild chooses too.Not that my guild would but would be nice to have the option.
