    Its a social hub for the guild where you can get cheap buffs if we have the things installed. At later levels it can also teleport you places. I think,(stress think), that you can recall to it mid quest and jump back in without taking a re-entry penatly.

    I think we should grow the ship organically and not rush things. Once we get to the point where we have to make tough decisions about the amenities on it, then we should try to upgrade it.

    Also, if we can tough it out to level 50, then we can just buy a bigger ship with PP instead. As for 4 maximum amenities, the basic useful ones guild chest (25), mail (24), tavern (25), bank (35) and auction (42) take guild level 42 to get. By this point, I'd think you'd be better off waiting the 8 more levels to buy the larger ship with pp.

    Edit: Source: http://ddowiki.com/page/Guild_Airships

    Edit2: Also, these amenities and crew are a pretty big money sink. I think at this point in time, our money would be best spent in gear upgrades.

    why would someone need to on at auction close? isn't the whole point of an auction that you make your max bid and if you bid highest, you win?

    well I still need to sell my planar gird so I dont have the dough to be dropping a lot

    plus max bid doesnt work so well, as in if I put down 100k it will just set the bid to 100k when you search for it.

    so anyone can beat me instead of say, showing the bid is still at 51k then when someone bids it outbids them for me.

    and this is the cheapest i've seen this armor at so i'm sure people will be bidding on it a lot more come closing time and i'd liek to win (as long as the bid isn't over 100k)

    wait, what? the auction system just sets the bid at the highest instead of incrementing it up whenever someone bids up higher? that's fucking retarded

    the auctionhouse was kind of a late in the game addition, was never great, and has never been worked on.

    I agree that is sucks, but after 4 years, i don't think they are going to fix it anytime soon.

    they also need to fix hireling AI, but that has proven difficult too.

    I would like to pause for a moment, to talk about my penis.
    My penis is like a toddler. A toddler—who is a perfectly normal size for his age—on a long road trip to what he thinks is Disney World. My penis is excited because he hasn’t been to Disney World in a long, long time, but remembers a time when he used to go every day. So now the penis toddler is constantly fidgeting, whining “Are we there yet? Are we there yet? How about now? Now? How about... now?”
    And Disney World is nowhere in sight.
