What's in Temmy's Bank Box

[Temujin]

Okie, with the advent of the Auction House in DDO, we have a plan. If you have an item that could be of use to a member of the Clan, please send it to Tamerlaine. I will put a date next to the item. After a time, if no one claims it, I will forward it to Mom. Mom will then place it into the Auction House. She will take the proceeds to purchase wands and such for the guild (her haggle is so far above yours, don't even try).

30 Imperfect Siberys Dragonshards
39 Flawed Siberys Dragonshards
19 Siberys Dragonshards
3 Collapsed Portable Holes
(Will never be auctioned, will hold til needed)

Mommy note/request.PLEASE SPELL THE CHARACTER NAME CORRECTLY!! We have now had 2 members give the incorrect spelling of their name so items were sent to someone outside CW or the great item abyss. Temmys brain cannot handle all the spellings of all your characters names so this is very important

[Temujin]

DUE TO RECENT EVENTS AND LACK OF MEANINGFUL CONTRIBUTIONS, I AM CLOSING THE BANK BOX. ONCE THE INVENTORY I CURRENTLY HAVE ON ME IS FINISHED, THERE WILL BE NO FURTHER UPDATES.

PLEASE DISCONTINUE SENDING ANYTHING TO TAMERLAINE.

JUST FOR FYI, THIS HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH BRON GIVING A COUPLE OF ITEMS TO SLASHY.

A NOTE FROM MOTHER:

Since Temmy is not always clear, I will take care of specifics
Over the last few months we have been noticing a decrease in quality usage of the box. Most items are given out within the guild party they were looted in. This is a good thing.
We have noticed, however, a general decrease in item quality sent to the box, while hearing about some really nice stuff that has gone to auction.
That tells us that the box is no longer wanted.

I strongly urge (in other words, will kick your ass if you don't) you to take note of what other CW uses and contact that person if you find something nice that they can use. Start using the needed/have thread more.
I will continue to buy pots/scrolls/wands when needed and when the current treasury runs out, I will still do so, but you will just have to pay me back

[Ketias]

So the actions of a few ruin it for all of us?

I know I have never really sent anything fantastic to the bank box, but I don't really ever have anything fantastic to send. Anything that I think someone else can/will use or that might be auctioned for some decent money get's sent.

I think of anybody, I have a right to complain, because I don't believe I've ever taken advantage of the bank or of the guild treasury. I've funded my cleric, usually on my own, with an occasional asking of a purchase of Wands or Scrolls, just to save time....but I always offer to pay back.

This is truly a shame.

Can I ask for elaboration on this part?

1.) What is a Meaningful Contribution? If it's Vorpals/Smiters/Banishers/etc., then what about people that just don't pull those? Or who don't pull the extra's to pass along?

2.) Does Meaningful Contribution include amount sent to the bank box? Example: Player 1 sends 2 - 3 items (of all kinds) once a week, whereas Player 2 may have sent 2 - 3 items once or twice total?

3.) I thought it was all Meaningful because anything that wasn't kept to be passed along was sold for Guild funds? So I guess I'm confused, in general, to the whole: "Meaningful Contribution" thing.

4.) "DUE TO RECENT EVENTS" ~ Does this translate to something someone else needed got sold on the auction house instead of passed along? If that's the case, then I think you should just come out and say it. *Note: This is my own personal preference. If I had something and sold it and someone needed it, then I would hope they would say something to me.

[Mother]

It wasn't just the actions of a few Ket.

We have had quite a few +6 items go through unclaimed. Several paralyzers, smiters and ive seen a banisher or two all go to auction. If these kinds of things aren't being claimed, what kind of things are we wearing?

Couple that with how many times we hear "I really want something like this" Only to have Tem tell that that he had sent about 3 different versions of it to auction within the month cause a lot of people don't even bother to check the thread.

It has begun to feel like people look on contributing to the box as a chore instead of helping each other and when that happens, sometimes its better to just let it go.

I partially blame the devs who made repair costs so high that people are consistently broke and have to sell really nice stuff to make up for it instead of being able to give it to a guildie.

Now, if you guys can find a way to convince Temmy that you really love the box and want to keep it around (and its gonna take more than begging lol) I am all for it. I have no problem giving up a char to help the guild (I have one whose sole purpose is auctions from the box). I also have no problem with keeping Mom have the treasury which is currently still in decent shape).

[Temujin]

The final update. That's all there is left in my inventory.

[bronwynn]

Carawynn will take +4 Heavy Adamantine Shield of Lesser Fire Resistance and Ogre Power Belt of Balance(Str +2, Balance 10)
Pretty please.

[procipio]

We still doing the guild bank?

I've got a shitload of stuff on Pro and Myssus that I can send in. Most of it is lower level stuff, and I think I have about 86 Disease immunity belts to send on over.

I haven't donated anything in awhile, so I figured I'd clear out my shit with a massive donation.

[Mother]

we closed it down for a variety of reasons, but feel free to post a list of what you have if you want

[Saphon]

Ok got a few things I'll post here.
1) these items will not go to auction
2) please only request if you will use the item (I don't want them sitting in some idle toons inventory if someone else could use it.)

+2 Paralyzing Dwarven Axe (L12)
+1 Dwarven Axe of Disruption (L10)

- I have some tapestry pieces if you're close to completing a set.
- I do save dragon scales but have no intention of using them so ask ingame and I'll check what I have on my cleric.

I am looking for:
any and all Syberous/Khyberous Shard Fragments
Docent of Blood (only drops from last chest in Bloody Crypt)

[bronwynn]

Saph I need Blue dragon scales if you have anymore. I'll ask in game too.

[Ketias]

I'll take any black scales you're willing to part with. Only need 15 more. =\

[bronwynn]

I need 11 more Blue, it's 25 is it? I am up for a Tor run whenever you guys are.
