Introduction to Conquests
As we continue to grow and mature as a guild, there will be several things you can do to help the guild. Once we have a Guild Flagship, we will be able to start doing guild conquest objectives. For those of you that are unfamiliar with how the conquest objective work, I will try to give you a bit of an overview of how the objectives work.
If you open you quest log, the second tab is your conquest tab. On this tab you will see several items on the left hand side and number under them. These are your objectives for the week. There are multiple types of objectives, doing your daily flashpoints (Tactical and Hardmode), doing specific Flashpoints (usually in any mode), killing certain bosses (usually in hardmode), crafting, operations, heroics, Rampages (killing a certain number of mobs on a given planet), GSF, Warzones.
Under each objective, you will see a number, either "x250" or one with the infinity sign and a number. The ones with the infinity sign can be done as many times as possible, by as many toons as you can do them on (these are usually dailies, heroics, Warzones/GSF, and usually the daily SM OP, some weeks these will be crafting items as well). The objectives with an x in front or the number can be completed only one time. This is fairly straight forward for the crafting, doing a specific Flashpoint, or killing a specific boss. However, there are objectives like "kill 100 players in warzones" or "kill 250 enemies on Makeb". These count for the toon that gets the last kill, or the last game, or whatever is asked for.
Now that you have a basic understanding of the objectives, what is next? Well, each week you have a number of Conquest points need to earn to complete your personal conquest, usually 20,000 points. If you earn the needed amount of points, you will receive a 25K credit token, some crafting nodes for your stronghold, and some items to trade for crafting materials (green and blue crafting materials).
There are two big things that help gain personal conquest points is having your strongholds fully stocked. Your strongholds give you bonuses to the base amount of points you receive. If you have opened all expansions, and have all the items set in your stronghold, you are awarded 25% bonus per stronghold. (currently I have 4 strongholds each with 100% of the items set in them. I have 100% bonus to the base amount of points given by each objective). Second, with a guild flagship, the guild can pick a planet as a conquest target. This will give you a bonus to the base amount as well, from 2-3 times as much as the base. Your personal bonus is applied to the base, not the conquest bonus.
Explain that a little more clearly old man. Okay, will do.
As an example, we will use my current personal bonus, and a conquest bonus due to a flagship.
As I love PvP, I like taking conquests that help my Warzone points, so we will go with that. Your base points for a warzone game played are 250, warzones won 500, completing the warzone weekly 1000. If we have a planet targeted that gives us x3 to warzone objectives, then this is how that would work.
I play a warzone, and we will. I have completed the following objectives: Warzone played AND warzone won. The guild conquest far a played WZ is base * 3 (750) + my personal bonus of 100% of the original base (another 250) so I have 1000 for the WZ played. Then I still have the points for a win. Guild conquest is base * 3 (1500) + personal bonus of 100% of base (500) for a total of 2000 for the win. Total points for the 1 game played that I won is 3000.
That is a quick overview of conquests. If you have any questions, reach out to me and I will be glad to explain more.
