Old news, but new to me. Information on how to upgrade keeps.

Also mentions a very important part,
the higher the rank of a keep, the faster the rank of the guild goes up.

Here's the link:

After reading this, I'm definitely going to increase my tithe. It's only on mob drops anyways, not the AH. Having a keep is expensive.

Plus damn look at what you can get for ordanance. No idea these even existed. Gonna buy me some dynamite!
*Self-only Oil Immunity potions that last 30, 60, or 90 seconds.
*Caltrops which place a small PBAoE Snare/DoT field on the ground.
*Dynamite that is a direct-target DD plus a knockback, which can be used against players or siege weapons (deals double damage versus siege weapons).

Unfortunately its only 200 guild exp per level of the keep. To keep this in perspective it takes 1 gold per 5 minutes to keep a keep rank 1. Upgrades cost a ton of money and dont really offer than much exp to the family. At this point only Gaisgeach rank members and higher can claim keeps this is to prevent our family from getting drained of our assets.

Yeah sad news all around. This link was posted by WAR in March. I checked yesterday...there's no oil immunity potions, caltraps, or dynamite to be found (unless it's in T4 only?). I always knew keep upkeep was expensive; hence the reason I just put my tithe to 100%.
