Stronghold
The Stronghold is an adventure zone introduced in Module 7: Strongholds. Every guild has their own unique Stronghold instance that only members of that guild can enter. Characters of any level can enter, but the mobs on the map are level 80.

Each guild's stronghold starts with a level 1 Guild Hall, but other structures can be built and upgraded over time by doing quests and donating to the Stronghold's Coffer.

Lore

The Stronghold
Steward's Notes
You won't find a better Stronghold in all of Faerûn. This Stronghold seems like it was built to stand the test of time. It's now our task to do the same to the surrounding land... while making a hefty profit, of course.

Keep an eye out for various problems in the area. The Many-Arrow Orc tribe had several camps out in the area at one point, and my people are reporting other oddities in the area.

If you see something, deal with it, that's why you're called an adventurer after all.

When a player character first arrives at the stronghold, the Steward greets them. He introduces the non-player characters who help run the stronghold, such as the Cleric and Builder. The Steward also hints that the stronghold has an interesting past and promises to reveal more over time. Different quests are presented from time to time as the Stronghold is improved, revealing more of the lore.

Coffer
The Stronghold Coffer holds all the resources guild members have donated. Every Stronghold structure built or upgraded uses resources in the Coffer. Upgrading the Guild Hall, or building and upgrading a Warehouse, increases the maximum capacity of the Coffer.

Donating items to the Coffer adds resources to the Coffer, as well as giving Guild Marks. To donate an item to the Coffer talk to The Mimic.

See Coffer for donation values and maximum capacity.

Structures
Guild Hall
Every Stronghold starts with a rank 1 Guild Hall. Upgrading the Guild Hall increases the Coffer capacity, unlocks more plots to build on, and increases the maximum rank to which other structures can be upgraded.

Great Hall
The Great Hall is the building at the heart of your Stronghold. Inside is a large meeting area with 4 tables and 40 sittable chairs. You can donate Decorations to The Decorator and place them at over 90 locations in the Great Hall. The Great Hall is available at Guild Hall Rank 1 and does not need to be built.

Marketplace
The marketplace is located inside the Stronghold Keep, and consists of 4 NPC stores:
The Generalist is a standard NPC vendor and sells various potions and other items.
The Gemmonger sells Slayer and Ward Overload enchantments.
The Barmaid sells various Food buffs
The Outfitter sells Guild, Dragonflight, and Lionsmane equipment, artifacts and accessories.
The marketplace is available after the Stronghold Guild Hall is upgraded to Level 2 and as the Marketplace structures are upgraded, more and better goods can be purchased.

(i.e.: armor and equipment cannot be purchased from the Outfitter until the Marketplace is upgraded to at least Level 2)

-------------------

Production Structures
Production structures automatically generate resources over time. Each structure has a maximum capacity and must be tended by a character to transfer the resources to the coffer. The structure can then continue to generate resources. The resources are required for the construction of many structures (for example, higher ranks of the Marketplace and the Guild Hall require Stone). Each structure has a corresponding Support structure that increases the rate of production.

Farm
A Farm produces Food over time. An Animal Pen can increase the rate of production.

Lumberyard
A Lumberyard produces Wood over time. A Milling Yard can increase the rate of production.

(*Requires 50 Building Materials)

Mine
A Mine produces Metal over time. A Smelter's Yard can increase the rate of production.

Quarry
A Quarry produces Stone over time. A Masonry Guild can increase the rate of production.

(*Requires Level 3 Guild Hall)

Warehouse
A Warehouse does not produce any resources, but increases the maximum capacity of the Stronghold's Coffer instead.

Support Structures
Support structures increase the rate of production of the Stronghold's Production structures, or increase the effectiveness of PvP towers.

Masonry Guild
