donation for keep doors

[old.Kithara]

Hi all.

My crafters made a little check on all keep doors in our wonderful midgard. The result - door lvl of regular keeps is max 4 - relic 8 -
the idea to upgrade every (!) door to lvl 8.
That would be a cost of 150 g / door.
If some1 is interested to sponsor my team (jimli 735+ weapon, xx wood | kama 800 armor, xx wood) PM one of us.

regards

if you upgrade door from lvl1 to lvl8 without repair, it will have have only 20% con
full repair costs... hmm, i think, it's too much

The default lvl of relic keep doors atm is lvl10
when you fully repair it, it becomes a lvl10 door.
I belive the default lvl is being lowered to 8 after 1.48

The automatic regenaration of the keepdoors will do the rest after we upgrade them. To repair would be crazy.

huh? Automatic regeneration of keepdoors? Waht are you on about? Keep doors do not regen hp. you damage them, they stay damaged until either someone repairs them, or the server is reset (meaning they are also set to default level, 1 for normal keeps, 10 for relic keeps, 8 for relic keeps once 1.49 is installed).

Regen of keep doors? nope, doesn't happen.

If you have a full health door that's level 2 and you upgrade it to level 4, it will appear to have been damaged and will have something like 90% of it's actual life. As the upgrades increase, the damage appears to get worse. A door upgraded from level 1 to level 7 appears to have 70% of it's health. The natural regeneration on doors is quite slow, but it's the best way to let these doors get back to full health. Repairing them up to full would cost almost as much as it did to upgrade the door in the first place.

This is what I read about keepdoors... Hence my opinion... Am I really wrong about this?!? Then start donating more!

VidX is rigth about the regen thingy.. and also by looking at your list of crafters they are fairly impressive when it comes to weapon and armorcrafting but they lack the skill in woodworking as this is the only skill needed for repairing and upgrading keepdoors (unless the xx is xxx skill)

To upgrade a keepdoor to level 8 a minimum skill of 400 is needed.

And for the 150g for upgrading one door to level 8... (if it's from level 1) and with a team of 10+ people carrying the wood you migth get the costs down to 150 by buying the less expensive types of wood.. (can take a LOT of time running back and forth with a small team)..

To calulate the costs for this use these tables:

Wood to Wunit Conversions:

Type Amount Wunits Weight Cost
Rowan 20 20 5 75cp
Elm 20 80 5 12sp
Oaken 20 160 5 48sp
Ironwood 20 320 5 1.44gp
Heartwood 20 640 5 4.32gp
Runewood 20 960 5 8.64gp
Stonewood 20 1200 5 12.96gp
Ebonwood 20 1600 5 19.44gp

To Upgrade A Door:

To Level Wunits Minimum Skill
2 440 100
3 1760 150
4 5280 200
5 14080 250
6 26400 300
7 39600 350
8 61600 400

To Repair A Door:
At Level Wunits Per Repair Minimum Skill
1 60 100
2 320 150
3 880 200
4 3440 250
5 14408 300
6 34560 350
7 40000< 400
8 48000 450


As you can see from this the upgrades will be easy, but the repairs will cost a helluva lot more than 150g (per door) and if the plan is to upgrade and repair all the doors we're talking platinum here..

Anyways.. good luck if you're still determined to do this (I'm also availible to do the repairs and upgrades if you need someone with 400 woodcrafting )


[edit: gah! the tables didn't show up rigth even after I corrected them in the edit window.. anyways, you can find the same tables here: http://www2.whidbey.net/coadey/repair.html and here http://www2.whidbey.net/coadey/upgrade.html ]

The Idea is good, thou the price is correct on the paper, but it will requier a big amount players, with great patience.
atm I'm haveing a hell trying to gather and organize enough ppl to repair the relic doors, since you need about 3300 - 3400 Ebonwood units to start the repair ( 10% ). All it takes is 4 shopers and 8ppl that can carry 400 woodunits.
with that "template" I can repair once every 5 - 10 min depending on shopers and invaders

with 100 ebonunits you can upgrade to lvl 3 ( both inner and outer door ) and repair 100% // 90%

so it would cost a fortune to do it, since cheap woodunits are not possible to use for the high repairs/upgrades, since it takes to much space and the risk of loosing wood units due to failed repair/upgrade attempts are to big with lower woodunits ( to use them you need to drop units on the ground )

Next patch thou ( I think, if not please say so =) ) the repair/upgrade price will be 50% of todays price.
