Resource Claims - Overview
Resource areas are customizable regions that staff can design and set reward tables to, including the items! Once claimed, an object will occasionally appear within the resource region and can be picked up by the higher ranks of the designated guild.
An active guild of 8 or more members can make a claim to an area by declaring their intent and detailing how it is enacted in this thread. Staking a claim requires an initial investment of 30k influence, expended whether or not the claim is successfully maintained against any contesting parties in raid-style conflict. Influence expended this way or by additional investment from the control guild is contributed towards the sum of assets and support available for the resource node's exploration, study, and security. Each year comes at the expense of 15k influence from this pool, with failure to maintain this requirement resulting in loss of control and the area being open to new claimants.
A properly maintained operation will uncover more about the area and discover new resources for extraction as time passes, a typical area taking 8 years to fully exploit and upgrading after the 2nd and 4th years, yielding a one-time yet high-value treasure at the end of the 8th.
