Congratulations Wookies, July marks the 8 year Birthday of our guild and possibly one of the best we have had so far. This year we've accomplished several incredible feats:

• Guild's 8 Year Birthday

• World Record: This month we celebrated our 300th first place conquest victory
• World Record: First guild to level 100
• World Record: First guild to level 200
• World Record: First guild to level 300
• World Record: We've scored more than 6 billion conquest points!
• EU Record: First EU guild to win 3 planets in a single conquest week
• World Record: Lexendra won the world's fastest solo speed leveling record from 1-75 in 2h 52m
• World Record: Lexendra won the world's fastest team speed leveling record from 1-75 in 1h 46m

A huge thank you to every officer past and present who helped lead the way through all these years and of course to you, our guild members who helped shape the spirit of the guild and spread positive vibes throughout the game and across the world.

Legacy scoring is were we combine the conquest scores for all of your characters in Alpha guild and mail you a sweet amount of credits for your efforts 😃

I've always felt it provides better rewards for everyone helping the guild win 1st place regardless of if you score your points on one character or twenty. We had to take a break from legacy scoring when the 6.0 conquest changes arrived as it already took several hours every week which then took even longer with the new points system so we temporarily switched to individual character scoring. While doing that we've been refining a process to share the workload and implemented a few changes so that now we can return to legacy scoring.

This means a lot more people are going to be getting prizes as everybody who scores 100k or more will win! For every 100k points you get in Alpha you will win 200,000 credits. No lottery randomness. It's a straight points to credits conversion. You could score 100k CQ points on one character, 50k on two or 34k on three! The idea is that every time you see a conquest reward popup you can think of it as a credit popup 💰

Big Rewards
Each week we post the results in our Conquest gallery and mail your prize to the character name in your member notes, so make sure those are accurate!

• We reward you 200,000 credits for every 100k conquest points you earn, there is no limit!
• The top 5 scoring legacies each win a bonus 5 million credits
• The game rewards you 2, 3 or 4 Solid Resource Matrix depending which planet yield we invade
• You can continue to COD mail Ula Vii encryptions for 400k each
• You win the 25 conquest titles and 38 achievements
• The #1 point scorer each week wins the Minister of War rank in-game
• Your score will be recorded in the long term score board for all to see

Because Alpha is the guild that goes for the win each week, we are going to focus all the rewards there which allows us to give out greater prizes for the people who are contributing to the guild's victory. We won't be giving out any prizes for Beta or Rep since they are not going for the top spot and already benefit from the large yield crafting rewards. The other aspect of it is that we wanted to include every single point you earn in the legacy scoring and even with us sharing the workload it would still take far too long to do that across all three guilds.

We expect some people to be moving from Beta to Alpha for the big conquest rewards and from Alpha to Beta for the new raid team boosts. A few of us will be logging in periodically throughout Tuesday to handle invites so drop a message in our Discord #guild-invites channel or post a reply below and we'll get you in. Remember not to move over until after the CQ reset at 19:00 BST if you want your in-game weekly rewards 😉

I have increasingly felt that Beta can be improved to better benefit our guild and now the final piece of the puzzle has clicked into place. Since we activated Beta, it has shared the same guild perks as Alpha so that a wide range of activities are enhanced. For the foreseeable future that is changing. Beta is now going to be boosted for our progression raiders by having the Zeal set bonus continuously enabled which provides a 5% alacrity boost in all Hard Mode raids. When possible I will also choose the perks that either increase adrenal duration or reduce repair costs.

To get the most benefit from the Zeal bonus you will need to tweak your gear to account for the increased alacrity. Riku's gear guide shows the alacrity values to aim for. You may want to have two gear sets since the Zeal bonus does not apply to Nightmare raids.

We will keep an emergency stash of top level stims, adrenals and medpacs in the Beta officer's vault for progression team leaders to access if anybody on their team runs short but we would expect most raiders to be running the reusables or providing for themselves. We understand that everybody needs some help sometimes so don't be afraid to ask.
