Locations[edit]
Dialogue[edit]
- Guild Initiative Headquarters[verification requested]
- Ah, directions, of course! You're familiar with the monastery? Begin there, then travel eastward. As you make your way toward the Eastern Wilds, you'll come across a quaint fishing hamlet. Simply ask for the boat to the Isle of Reflection. Easy as that. Bian will be waiting for you once you arrive.
- In Guild Initiative Headquarters
- Minister Nguyen. Urban Planning. If I may have moment of your time? The MUP's scouting an island off Shing Jea's coast. The Isle of Reflection. Dare I say it'd make a great spot for a guild hall?
- It's a small isle off the coast of Shing Jea. Much of it is abandoned, but what remains of Balthazar's arena is still there. The natural scenery is beautiful—waterfalls, shores, picturesque hills.
- I should warn you, claiming this site calls for a full-scale expedition and its associated costs. Things could get expensive.
- Expedition to the Isle of Reflection) What's the cost to mount the expedition? (opens the Upgrades panel to purchase
- I'll consult with my guild.
My guild and I will handle it.
- Minister Nguyen: Off the coasts of Shing Jea, where sea spills over into sky, an isle slumbers.
- Minister Nguyen: Though its shores seem undisturbed by imprints of the past, I advise you, look closer.
- Minister Nguyen: When the waves recede, what tales may you find etched in the sands of time?
- Minister Nguyen: Like the ebb and flow of tides, we all waver between past and future across life's eternal ocean.
- Minister Nguyen: And in walking their intersection, we pave our path in the footprints we leave behind.
- Minister Nguyen: As you embark on your journey, ask yourself: What story shall I impart in my wake?
- Minister Nguyen: The answers awaits at the Isle of Reflection.
Can you tell me what this place looks like? (plays the cinematic)
- Good question. Reiko Murakami, founder of the Ministry of Purity, was killed on the island, so people tend to avoid it. Perhaps it's a convenient place for squatters to use for that reason.
- My guild and I will handle it. (same as above)
- Can you tell me what this place looks like? (same as above)
- Tyrian governments have authorized an initiative that allows you full claim to the Isle of Reflection, so long as your guild occupies and maintains it.
- Can you tell me what this place looks like? (same as above)
- I'll consult with my guild.
What's in it for my guild?
- Sounds like a setback, then. Good luck.
Why would squatters take to this location?
- What do you know about the squatters?
- Hope it works out for you.
Interesting. Tell me more.
- Hope it works out for you.
- In Isle of Reflection
- How's the guild doing? Having any trouble getting this place restored and upgraded? I know the various proprietors from the Initiative look forward to working with you!
- Easy! The Initiative's proprietors all have different specialties. They'll each take a hand in restoring the buildings around here. For example, Gamli can help restore the tavern.
- They'll be coming in from Lion's Arch. You'll find them at your tavern!
- I have another question.
- Oh, okay. Thanks.
Where can I find the proprietors?
- The first upgrade a proprietor offers is a building upgrade. Purchasing that upgrade will start the building process and unlock other upgrades from that proprietor.
- I have another question.
- Oh, okay. Thanks.
How do I restore a building?
- Oh, okay. Thanks.
How do I get everything restored and upgraded?
- We're doing well, thanks.
Quotes[edit]
- ...Urban planning. As a best practice, of course. Land-leasing is our domain.
- Perhaps they're hoping to avoid detecion?
- Appreciated.
- That was many years ago! Sure, a few morbid thrill-seekers might drop by out of curiosity.
- But if you ask me, it's preposterous to think these squatters care the least bit about that sort of thing.
Notes[edit]
- Minister Nguyen relocates from Guild Initiative Headquarters to the Isle of Reflection after the guild hall is claimed.
