The guild fund is the guild treasury. It is made up of guild dues (1k per month per active member), loot from guild hunts, and donations.
The main expense to the guild account is the guild hall. The House of Recreation costs us 22980 gold piece per month (due near the 21st of each month). As you all know, this expense has been quite a task to keep up with as some of us have been inactive, some forget to pay dues, etc. There were many months I shouldered most of the expense myself (though some people, you know who you are, have been very helpful ~ thanks).
To supplement the modest amount we receive from dues (since we only have 13-15 "active" members - quite sad really) and to "force" you all into fun guild activities, we are having bimonthly guild hunts. Nothing hard, nothing expensive. Things we can hunt with minimal supplies and make a profit while we have fun doing things together (if you look at the calendar these hunts are penciled in on the Sundays when vice meetings are not happening). For example, some of us went to Banuta a couple of weeks ago, and in 2 hours we made 45000. Much more then we receive from dues.
Therefore, the extra money is being applied to a guild armory. We have received some donations for supplies (ammunition, manas, health potions, runes, random equipment, quest items, etc). We will also (if dues are paid more regularly, and we continue to do small hunts) buy supplies for the guild armory for any member who actively participates in guild activities. If you rarely participate in guild events, you will have to supply yourself for activities you choose to participate in as it is only fair those who work for the extra money beyond the guildhall rent receive the benefit from their hard work. Of course exceptions will be made for those in dire need of assistance.
After we have a decent supply in the guild armory, the rest of the money will most likely go to a guild "death" fund... for aol's and blessings. We all know this is the most expensive (and heartbreaking sometimes, aggravating, frustrating, insert a ton of emotional words here, some not so nice xD) thing we have to deal with, and especially with the state of our server is happening all too often. I hope to keep an AoL and cash to at least give blessing assistance in the guild fund (of course I always have grand aspirations).
Of course, like anything else in the guild, it won't get very far without your help! Anything you can contribute would be appreciated! Most importantly your time, commitment and support. But we also take random junk you don't use because of your vocation (ok no, we don't want 10000000 ropes please
) - useful "junk" or things you are too lazy to sell that have value .
If anyone has ideas, please feel free to bring them to my attention!
