UESPWiki:ESO Guild

The United Explorers of Scholarly Pursuits is the official in-game guild of the UESP in Elder Scrolls Online. There are currently four branches, one for each PC server, one on the North American Xbox One server, and one on the European PlayStation 4 server. There is also a subforum for the official guilds on the UESP forum, found here, which is used for planning and advertising events, and can also be used to ask questions about the guilds. Members are encouraged to install the uespLog AddOn for a few useful utilities and to help collect game data for the site. The Alliance affiliations listed here only affect PvP; members of all Alliances are welcome to join UESP.

About
This guild is open to all administrators, editors, and users of the UESP to provide a place to meet up, talk about the game, the UESP, or life in general. If you need help with a quest or world boss, or want to run a group dungeon, just ask on chat. Information about our social activities can be found on our calendar or the in-game Message of the Day (MOTD). Members have access to a myriad of free services via our Guild Hall.

We are a very diverse group of people. Our members range in age from 16 to 60+ and hail from 5 continents. We are of different cultures, religions (including none), sexual orientations, and some have disabilities or long-term health conditions. There are only two rules you must observe: 1. real life comes first and 2. respect your fellow guildies, even if you disagree with them.

:* Server: North America
:* Platform: PC
:* Alliance: Daggerfall Covenant
:* Heraldry: Imperial Purple/Gold on Chevron 4 with a Silver Eye of Hermaeus Mora, representing the Daedric Prince of Knowledge and Memory. Gold represents the color of UESP site pages. The other two colors were chosen by a vote among Guild Members, with a deep purple being the most preferred/least disliked.
 
Leadership


Ranks


Guild Bank
Any member of the guild can view the bank's contents by visiting a banker in most major cities. Direct access to the Guild Bank is restricted to those with the rank of Explorer, however all members are encouraged to make use of the bank's contents so long as they follow the rules below. If you do not have access and would like to withdraw an item, politely ask an Explorer, Advisor, or Officer for assistance in retrieving it.

Rules
The number one rule of the Guild Bank is "be considerate to other members". The following rules should be purely common-sense.

# Items are for personal use only, not for sale.
# Set items are for your character to wear, never for deconstruction. 
# If you need to take a large amount of a high-value item, please consult with a Guild Officer first via private message. For example:
## More than 25 Bugloss, Columbine, Mountain Flower, Namira's Rot etc.
## More than 10 of any purple improvement material
## More than 50 blue/purple crafted food or drink
# NEVER take a complete stack of materials. Please leave a small quantity behind (e.g. 10). This will make it more obvious that we need to restock that item in the Guild Bank.
# Do take as many blue Crafting Motifs as you need to outfit all of your characters.

If you have any questions, please ask a Guild Officer!

Access
In order to have withdraw access for the Guild Bank, a member must hold the rank of Explorer. To be promoted to the Explorer rank, you'll need to already be a Scholar. You'll also need to have a brief "interview" with @Avron to prove that you understand how the game economy works when you can sell items to real players, i.e. that the value of items in the Guild Bank is usually unrelated to the price you'd get at an NPC vendor. This process is not intended to be intimidating, and no one to date has ever been denied Guild Bank access.

Explorers who are away from the game for 6 months or more will be demoted back to Scholar. However, if they wish to withdraw from the Guild Bank again upon their return, they'll just need to speak to @Avron as before to ensure that they're up-to-date with any changes in the game economy.

Scheduled Events

Recurring
These are events held every week at the same time intended for the participation of anyone in the guild. Please note that events will remain scheduled for the same time in US Eastern regardless of Daylight Savings; this means that the start time will change by one hour for those who do not observe Daylight Savings where they live.

:* Tamriel Rampage: Every Friday at 8.00pm Eastern (5.00pm Pacific / 12.00am or 1.00am GMT). This is an event for everybody in the guild, no matter your play style or experience. The group of players will travel to a different zone each week to tackle the Group Bosses, Skyshards, and any World Events a zone may possess. There are no requirements for this event, so players are welcome to join us on Discord voice if they want, and they can bring whatever character they want. 

:* Trial Night: Every Saturday at 8.00pm Eastern (5.00pm Pacific / 12.00am GMT). Trials are designed for groups of 12 players: 1-3 Tanks, 2 Healers, 7-9 Damage Dealers. This weekly meeting is designed for any players who are interested in doing group content, difficult or otherwise.
::*These trials may have requirements, e.g. specific abilities or Champion Point arrangements, and use of the RaidNotifier addon to warn you of impending mechanics where possible.
::*Guild Members should sign up for Trials as early as possible to guarantee a spot. The Guild MOTD will tell you who to contact through the game messaging system.
::*Discord is essential; you must be able to hear instructions. (We can prepare typed instructions to copy & paste at the appropriate time for players with hearing difficulties if we know about them in advance.)

:* Guild Trivia: Held on alternating Mondays at 8.00pm Eastern (5.00pm Pacific / 1.00am GMT). Questions range in difficulty from easy to very difficult, and prizes are awarded to the participants who correctly answer the most questions. Answers are submitted in chat and use of the wiki is encouraged.

:* Weekly Raffle: Drawn on Tuesdays at 9.30pm Eastern (6.30pm Pacific / 2.30am GMT). Raffle tickets may be purchased by depositing gold into the Guild Bank. Each ticket costs 500 gold, and you may make lump sum deposits for multiple tickets. Please note that we have a healthy bank balance & NO ONE should feel obliged to donate. Money raised from the Raffle is used to fund our weekly Guild Trader and for other Guild activities.

Occasional
We also host events that occur less often in order to break from the routine. Guild members get the opportunity to socialize with one another, often while accomplishing something as a group.
:* Swap Meet: Prior to the release of new content, members convene at the Guild Hall to trade items and receive free items from the Guild Bank. This type of event is scheduled on an as-needed basis.

Calendar
The PC-NA guild maintains a publicly-accessible calendar of upcoming events, in-game holidays, and more. Users can view in plain text from any browser, or add the calendar to their own Google account for additional detail. All times shown are in US Eastern, with other time zone equivalents included.
