Welcome to the Backwoods, a Top 25 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:
- NO cheating, NO begging, NO idiots
- Have fun
- Don't store crap in the guild store (read: something you can buy cheap, meaning less than 100k gold)
- Act friendly (at least towards your guild mates and allies, which also means do NOT attack guild mates)
- 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
- Post on the guild chat if you are taking a long vacation
- 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 :-) )
- Must like beer (or alcohol in general) ...or at least have an unhealthy affection for trees
- 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
- If you borrowed something from someone's backpack for hunting, please return it after you have finished!
- Do not capture any relics other than Temple of the Gods without first clearing it with biini.

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.

- 4 Lesser Santork Claws

- 1 Deep Set
- 3 Mancrusha sets +1 Armor

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!

Buffs
When to do I ask a guildmate for buffs?
Stamina to be played: Buffs:
Max stamina, or alternately:
600: AL+TH+LIB+MER, Doubler*
1000: AM, Conserve, Wither**
1500: Unbreakable***
2000: Deathwish**, Shatter Armor****, possibly Assist**
5000+: Doesn't really matter, just ask for anything you can get ;-)
This is a general guideline - individual players may set their own minimums.
Quest Finder is a bit of a special case - it improves quest item drops, but you still may need to make 50-100 kills for a quest item drop (instead of 200-400 kills) Find item is similar - ask for it when you need a specific item drop, such as from an elite with good drops.
(*) = Disable doubler after you are down to 79 or 59 stamina, so you can use your remaining stamina while still buffed.
(**) = If two-hitting
(***) = If your Master Blacksmith enhancement is below 75%
(****) = If you are two-hitting and your damage is higher than [monster's_armor * 0.25]+[monster_hp]
Times (and locations) shown after buffs tells best time to contact for buffs.

Paths to the Relic
In case anyone didn't know we are trying to hold the relic known as Temple of the Gods or (TotG). This relic has A LOT of good bonuses:
- +10 Attack
- +5 Defense
- +10 Armor
- +5 HP
- +5 Damage
- +50 Stamina
- +1 Stamina Gain
- +5 Nullify
- +20 Protect Gold
- +25 Dodge
- +15 Master Blacksmith
Mainly +50 max stamina and +1 stamina gain. This is huge for the players (24 more stamina/day) adds up when you think about the whole guild (125 or so players). 125 * 24= 3000 more stamina played for the guilds contributed XP. The longer we hold the relic, the higher level our guild becomes. We all benefit. So please go and defend the relic :) PLEASE DO NOT CAPTURE ANY OTHER RELICS!! IT COMPLETELY REMOVES OUR 50% DEFENSE BONUS on TotG!!
You just need 170 Stamina to get there. For someone that does not have high max stamina, do a bit of long range planning. For Example, hunt and the wait for 170 stamina with gain recall to Krul and walk to TotG. Before hunting, Instant Portal back to Krul Island then use Varas Dungeon Portal to go to your hunting grounds, and finish regeneration to Max Stamina.
- THE WAYS TO GO ARE AS FOLLOWS:
- Eldgar swaps -> Eldora north -> Eldora south -> Eldora east (TotG) (68 moves)
- Azlore plains -> Kijanamo north -> Eldora south -> Eldora east (TotG) (61 Moves)
Remember: To leave TotG you can Instant Portal back to Krul Island. It takes 64 stamina to walk to Varas Portal after recall from TotG
