For the rubies, you need to either use real cash-shop rubies (which I do not recommend, due to the sheer volume of rubies needed for construction and how hard it is to come by said rubies) or rubies from siege packages/guild quests. Rarely, they also have sales on guild packages in the cash shop.

If you don't have a quest board, I suggest building one as soon as you can. If you do, then do a quest every day, and ask your guildmates to do the same. It is a very slow process. I'd recommend not going for the ruby-intensive constructions right from the start. Several buildings either don't cost rubies or only cost a very small amount for the first few levels. I would not expect to get a castle upgrade with a relatively new guild -- most guilds that have them have been around for quite a while.

Of course, you could always ask to buy rubies off of someone. They would need to join your guild to distribute them. I'm not sure if many people are actually willing to do this now though, as they did in chapter 3 and 4, due to rubies being harder to get.



As for buildings, there should be a construction option in that drop-down menu on the top left corner of your screen. Can't remember specifics as it's been several years since I ran a guild, but it should bring up a window that shows the layout of your castle, and allows you to construct foundations/buildings in various areas by clicking on them.

There is no way I can collect enough teardrop rubies to build anything such as a castle upgrade or even a buff tower. Help.

On the contrary, teardrop rubies are the only realistic way to collect rubies now. Old methods, described by effervescent still work, of course, but the teardrops make them obsolete. Ruby rewards from guild quest are minimal, topping out at 10 (and even that required high level guild quest board, itself not easy to get).

Teardrops give you 500, they are not bound, they are not level limited. If your guildies are too lazy to do them, then make some lowbie alts and do it yourself; and then consider if lazy guildies are a net plus to the guild.

You need to build foundations before you can build anything.

Also to get easy teardrop ruby, go see Kate Wesker and go to the minigame there, Andor Training range Promoter, Varanas Central Plaza. Go threw the rounds of turtles if you want, not necessary since the rewards are random. I went all the way to round 15 and got 5 of the grass things, alt goes in, doesn't kill one and gets 10 Teardrop rubies, 10 nightmare essence, 2 keys, 2 locks, lol. We did it in guild and have gotten 150K rubies and guild runes from there in 1 1/2 month. You can do it once per day, per toon, not account. We almost have enough mats for our upgraded walls ;-). So get your guildies on it!!!

Need 30 P-Token per toon to do it, GO DAILIES GO!!!!

Have fun!!!!

FYI do not buy 2nd, 3rd pages etc for the guild bank before you have fully upgraded your guild level. Pages tend to disappear and you will have to buy them back again and support will not send any mats back. Even tho it is a known issue of the game. It happened to my sons guild and i had to send them back all the mats to get it back and support just gave them the answer, so sad deal with it, we can't reproduce the said issue, so you get nothing, have a nice day.

So hope it will help others not to get the shaft on another known issue, just like upgraded walls that people jump inside your guild castle with gates up during siege. Can't wait to get our upgraded walls and put a toon on fraps during the whole siege to catch the cheaters who would try it. Then to see if the support will banned them for doing so, really can't wait to see this.

Do NOT buy the upgraded bank pages AT ALL. They WILL eventually disappear, usually after a patch or 'maintenance'.

If you do need more guild vault bank pages, just create another alt guild, and level up to 5, pay for castle, done. A new bank page that will never disappear.

It sucks that the players consistently have to come up with workarounds, since the Publisher and Developer never seem to fix the important things.

Teardrop rubies help significantly more than the quest boards. I would never suggest anyone rely on these quest boards to help their castle progression as the rewards from them are so incredibly and insultingly insignificant to the cost its akin to making deposits at the bank 10 cents at a time and expecting your savings to see a change.

Lets look at the numbers from someone who's terrible at math:

10 active players, using the 3rd guild quest board every day (yielding 10 rubies per turn in, 100 rubies a day) it would take:

4 to 6 days for a LVL 4 building upgrade
Slightly over 2 months for a LVL 5 building upgrade
Almost half a year for a LVL 6 building upgrade
three quarters of a year for a LVL 7 building upgrade

Total time to get 1 building to LVL 7 the old fashioned way: approx. 1 year 4 months.

To get the first wall or castle structure upgrade the old fashioned way: approx. 3 years 11 months.

To get the 2nd wall or castle structure upgrade the old fashioned way: approx. 7 years 10 months.

Total time required to get all castle wall & structure upgrades the old fashioned way: 23 years 5 months.

... So in other words, if you're going to put effort into the ruby game, it'd be best to focus on the Andor Training range for the teardrop rubies, pay attention to festival events for when they offer additional rubies as well, and purchase teardrop rubies off the auction house.

i found out that i had purchased all small foundations instead of placing the right one first this is why i couldn't build an academy. I thought everything started from the small foundation.

Why is there a problem with guild pages being broken. Do i need to impregant myself to reproduce the issue?

During Siege we were looking around your castle and it looked like you just moved in and forgot to show up.
