Guild Bank
There has been some concern about the guild bank. I'm doing some thinking about how to best use the guild banks. Remember members of Alchanon will be able to deposit and view the guild banks. They will also be allowed making requests for things in it. We need some moola for a third tab. I'm trying to round up some gold for that, but those things are extremely expensive. Remember initiates require a 2 week trial period in order to be promoted to a full member. Please be patient with us. It's great to play with all of you new people.

Welcome to Alchanon!
Our goal is to recruit many more people your level so that you guys can run instances together and bond as a guild. The 70's are always their for your advice, because we need you. In fact by the summer I want to be exploring level 70 endgame content with you all. Mainly we are here for each other and to have fun playing the game we love. I would recommend that you guys explore Wailing Caverns if you have not already. Then hit RFD and RFK. It is loads of fun and teaches you how to perform as a group. Eventually you'll want to get into The Scarlet Monestary. That's where the huge upgrades are for your characters. If you are not into running dungeons that's perfectly ok too. I wasn't into that at first either, because of time issues. This is a Casual guild that is there for you when you need us.
We need good, friendly people your level, so if you run across anyone worthy of wearing the Alchanon tabard let one of the officers know. Make us proud you guys!
As always please read the charter and policy as well as the discriptions of the ranks. Enjoy and be careful out there. Getting to level 40, and getting your mount is a milestone for you, then...NO MORE WALKING.

Please read - Guild Charter and Policy
ALCHANON- MEDIVH – GUILD CHARTER AND POLICY
Charter
Alchanon began as a guild of alchemists who worked together to level from level 1 to 70 and raised enough money to buy 5 epic riding skills and mounts. Later we expanded to include some of our other friends including those of other crafting skills. This goal was reached on
Currently Alchanon is a guild that is moving forward and accepting new members of any race beyond level 10 and of any crafting skill. We keep the name Alchanon, which is short for alchemy anonymous, and the green and silver potion bottle tabard as a reminder that our strong foundation is financial power through alchemy. Now that all the officers are 70, we are looking to explore endgame content on a casual level. We do not raid three nights per week and you are not expected to raid in this guild. However we usually run instances on Saturday nights, but again in a friendly and casual level. We do use ventrilo and have a good time and are fairly successful - most of the time.
As the guild master I have multiple children and work two jobs, but still manage to enjoy this game and am there for my guild mates. Most of us are 30 somethings and are good friends in game and in real life. Our officer core is rock solid, very helpful and are good people. We have many 70’s in the guild and are established as a force to be reckoned with in the AH. At any one time Alchanon can control over 20% of the total alchemy sales on the Auction house. We have 2 elixir masters, 2 transmuter masters, a potion master and a high level jewel crafter. You should never go without alchemy buffs in this guild.
We are also excited about gearing up for the upcoming expansion and leveling ourselves into the unknown. We conduct ourselves in a mature fashion; while still having a good time. We expect all members from officers to initiates to respect and abide by guild policy and be helpful toward our guild and those outside our guild; however, anything goes with the filthy alliance.
Policy
Note: All members of Alchanon including officers are expected to abide by these rules. If you are having problems with another guild member who is violating these policies and you don’t think you can resolve the issue on your own, let an officer know.
Code of conduct
- We do not tolerate discrimination of any kind. While a healthy rivalry between in game factions and races is acceptable, we require civil and courteous behavior toward the real people behind the keyboard.
- Members should refrain from foul or overly suggestive language in guild chat or other channels.
- Members may not beg for gold or items directly in guild chat.
- Don’t beg others for power leveling or run throughs.
- All members must abide by Blizzards EULA.
- Do not harass other guild members or players outside the guild. We encourage fun, but keep it within reason and respectable.
- Do not let someone else log onto your account and represent you. Your characters actions are your responsibility.
- All players must be level 10 to be invited to join the guild.
- Instance run looting systems must be agreed on before hand. Ninja looting will not be tolerated.
- Every voice whether it’s an officer or a lowly initiate is equal, and we enjoy open conversation as long as you’re helpful and do not belittle fellow members.
- Upon reaching level 60, a character may have an alt invited into the guild.

E.R.S. Date Set
I'd like to officially announce the date for the E.R.S. completion. I want you to reserve the evening of Saturday, January 26th. This should give Spirit PC time to get fixed and the rest of us time to farm enough gold. Please try to get your 2700 in time. I'll have the rest covered. See ya then in Shadow moon valley!
Also: Try to get the quest "Kindness" from the blood elf just outside of Sanctum of the stars. Do about the first 4 or 5 steps in the quest by yourself so that we can kill Zuluhead the whacked together and get everybody neutral with the netherwing.

E.R.S. Update Jan 3, 2008
1. Donate Netherweave cloth.
2. Donate motes of water or motes of earth. (note: The water is far more important)
3. Donate any greens that you find.
4. Donate any extra gold you have.
Any help would be appreciated. If you don't have your 2700g's - Get it Quick.
This is going to be a huge month for Alchanon! All of our efforts will pay off soon. I want to organize a big guild event when E.R.S. is completed at the end of the month and do a bunch of things together to progress the guild, including getting keyed for Karazan.
