Backwoods
Leader(s):	A pint of dark stout?
Founder:	biini
Allies:	weenies, WG Stampers
Website:	http://wiki.fallensword.com/index.php/Backwoods

Welcome to the Backwoods, a TOP 30 Guild!

We are a bunch of easy-going guys and gals who think that Robin Hood was a pussy and didn't go far enough. He stayed in the woods with his stockings. We carried right on to the BACKWOODS! We met the Knights who 'til recently said "Ni!", bribed them with a couple of reasonably priced shrubberies and with a nice little path, ate their herring and went deeper in the woods than no knight had gone before.

We are recruiting active(*) team-players. You don't have to be on-line 24/7, just check attack groups and other things every now and then and try to play all your stamina. We are not too picky or hard, we play for fun! Besides activity, we require basic English skills. FSP deposits helps our guild to grow even larger, but they are not mandatory. We have a guild tax to help us collect gold, so it's rare that we request additional gold deposits.
If you are at least level 50, feel free to apply within the guild. If you are not, but think you have what it takes to be an active Backwooder, ask biini or some other high-ranking player if you can join. Cheers!

(*) = Active doesn't mean that you log in every other day and go instantly off-line. It doesn't mean that you hunt 200 stamina once a week. It means that you hunt all your stamina, regularly, and level up fast. 10 levels in a six months is not active. 10 levels in a month also isn't active. 10 levels in a week is good, but 15 levels in a week is better. Of course leveling speed decreases once you'll start to two-hit, but before that 7-10 levels in a week should not be a problem. We'll give you the tools in form of hunting gear, massive guild bonuses, and buffs... you do the job and stay active ;-) Cheers!

The Rules

Here's are the "rules" you will be bound to when you join:

1. NO cheating, NO begging, NO idiots
2. Have fun
3. Don't store crap in the guild store (read: something you can buy cheap, meaning less than 100k gold)
4. Act friendly (at least towards your guild mates and allies)
5. We are all adults and we are from backwoods. We have no table manners, we drink and swear a lot. So don't take it personally if you see an f-word or two in the guild chat
6. Post on the guild chat if you are taking a long vacation
7. If you need gold, gear, buffs or anything just ask (If you are asking for 100k you'd better have a some kind of explanation :-) )
8. Must like beer (or alcohol in general) ...or at least have an unhealthy affection for trees
9. Do not recall Guild Tagged Gear that is worn by a Guild Member (shows in Guild Store Report as Bold Blue). Exceptions to this rule are donalde, Magundy, DeFalco, and biini
10. If you borrowed something from someone's backpack for hunting, please return it after you have finished!

Mighty AugusBeef is finally in TOP250! Congrats!

5.12.2008
AddWin has respectively first obtained common rank of Tree Shepherd! Backwoods congratulates!

25.4.2008
Backwoods 1-year birthday (give or take couple of weeks)! To celebrate this we have maxed out our member count! So lots of free space for active Backwooders-to-come!

Skills are moved to this site to ease maintaining. Please fill your own line, or ask a guild mate for help :)

The deleveling party against Northern Alliance went perfectly. -10 levels as expected. Hope they learned their lesson. A big thanks to our new ally WG Stampers for help.

We have just formed an alliance with WG Stampers! We are working on an official communications channel. Any ideas are welcome.

Gear

We have some useful equipment to help our younger players. Fully-forged weapons and some nice Legendary/SE/unique sets. These are of course free to use for guild members. Over 800 items last time we counted. If you need help with gear ask a Trunk keeper, or someone in the guild chat.

We have now selected, gathered, and forged the guild hunting sets. These are located in Woodman12's backpack. Please feel free to recall and use them FOR HUNTING. Please remember to RETURN them INSTANTLY after you are done with your hunt. Failing to do so will cause instant recalling of the items, leaving you (partly) naked and open for an easy attack.

• Here's the list so far:
  • 4 Lesser Santork Claws
    
  • 6 Decay Runes
    
  • 1 Deep Set
    
  • 2 Mancrusha sets + 2 amulets + 2 rings
    
  • 1 Santork set, +1 claws
    
  • 1 Ferrals gauntlets
    
  • 1 Rusted helm
    
  • 1 Dark Ethal set + 1 Shield
    
  • 1 zegh set
    
  • 1 Ethereal Demon sword
    
  • 2 Boots of Umah
    
  • 1 Boots of Queal
    
  • 3 Baron sets
    
  • 2 Greshas rune
    
  • 1 Samaels set + 2 rings
    
  • 2 Boots of Pelacroz
    
  • 1 Banshee set + 2 helms, +2 armor, +2 boots
    
  • 2 Samurai sets
    
  • 1 Marpolo set + 2 armor
    
  • 2 Tarbidas sets
    
  • 1 Boots of Hellmoor
    
  • 2 Hunter sets
    
  • 2 Steep Nojor sets
    
  • 2 Ragnok sets
    

If you think we have to get more of some items, please contact biini or one of the trunk keepers. Also note that we still have a TON of other unique/legendary items laying around, so please try to make use of them. Once you've located an item you need, please contact the person who's backpack it is in and ask if you can wear it. If you don't get a reply, please return the item in question after you've finished hunting. Cheers!
