Structures for all guilds except Builder need to be in a plot claimed by and owned by the player trying to use them to rankup. Vestria staff use this as a mechanism to make sure the build is yours!
Builders do not have to own the builds they create. Builders must create their own structures and cannot purchase them from other players. You may work with 1 other person to construct a level 3 structure and with up to 2 people on level 4 structure, but all work must be split equally. You cannot work with others for level 1 and level 2 structures. You may only do this for Builder Guild rank up structures.
-
Level 1: Level 1: A 1+ chunk structure (mildly detailed). For Level 1 structures, the building should encompass most of the available space but does not need to fill the entire chunk as long as the remaining space is incorporated into the build (such as a cottage with a small garden, a shop with paths and benches, etc.). Mildly detailed means that some attempt at adding aesthetic was made, such as carpets, paintings, or flowers.
-
Level 2: A 2+ chunk structure (moderately detailed). Moderately detailed means that decent effort was put into ensuring aesthetics, such as carpets, paintings, flowers, furniture, and decorative lighting instead of just torches. The inside space is well-designed and should not have large open areas without purpose. If the structure includes a showcase type area with armor stands or item frames, the showcase should be filled with items and not have many empty stands and frames.
-
Level 3: A 4+ chunk structure (very detailed). Very detailed means that significant effort was put into ensuring aesthetics, design, and style. It includes several different detailing features, such as carpets, paintings, flowers, furniture, heads database heads, custom Armor Stand Editor, and decorative lighting. The inside space is well-designed, which means that it is laid out in a way that ensures that all available space is used appropriately (no large open areas without purpose, hallways to connect different rooms, no dead-end areas, no armor stands and item frames left empty in showcase areas etc.). The outside may include landscaping such as ponds, custom trees, gardens, etc.
Size is measured in horizontal chunks. Builds also do not need to be made on the chunk grid or be square in shape. As long as the composite area meets the space required for the level, it can be counted. Vertical space is not taken into consideration when counting size.
The only exception to this rule is farms. Vertical farm chunks count fully and have no story height requirement.
Not all of the space needs to be one structure. Detailed underground space, landscaping, and other outdoor decorations can count towards your overall chunk requirement. As long as staff can clearly tell that all pieces are a part of the same build, the space can be counted.
For example, this could be achieved by having paths connecting a house to a garden with a pond and custom made trees. Another example is a backyard to a house or mansion that may have a pool, shed, gazebo, outdoor entertaining area, or other small structure.
For underground space, it must meet the detail requirement for the structure you are building. One example may be a house that has a basement that extends beyond the size of the above ground structure. The additional basement space can be counted towards your overall space requirement as long as it meets the detail requirements for its level.
A good question to ask yourself is could an outsider come and clearly draw a border around my build? If they were to draw a border around my build, how much space would that take up in chunks?
The levels below should be used to determine the level of structures for Builder Guild Requirements. Size follows the typical size calculations.
SIZE
- Level 1: A 1+ chunk structure
- Level 2: A 2+ chunk structure
- Level 3: A 4+ chunk structure
- Level 4: A 6+ chunk structure
DETAIL
