Today I discovered that unless your BEACON containing your crafting machines is aligned to your main guild AND your CHARACTER is aligned to that same guild, you don’t get the spark and wear buff.
Even if your beacon is aligned to a guild with spark and wear 3 and your character is aligned to a different guild with spark and wear 3, you get NO BUFF.
If you craft at a friend’s house, unless their beacon is aligned to the same guild as you, you get NO BUFF. Even if both of you have spark and wear 3.
I have tested this in multiple scenarios - my beacon, others’ beacons etc.
The descriptions do NOT make this clear.
Personally I have lost at least 100 million spark to this bug (not exaggerating; probably closer to 300 million)
I am pretty upset. Currently I am sitting in sanctum stewing.
Sorry for being “dramatic” and posting to all the discord’s. But I want to make everyone aware of this ASAP.
Tested it 4 different ways on 2 planets. In one instance it was my beacon, in another instance it was a different person’s beacon. The beacon and the character had to be same guild in both scenarios.
Ok that’s good. At least my losses are less than a million.
I’ve been doing a lot of crafting. I use about 10 million spark a day currently (for the past week) and probably have used a minimum of 100,000 a day average for the past 3-6 months.
Just says “Make Crafting more efficient with a Spark and Wear Helix. When active, Guild or Faction Members will enjoy lower Wear and Spark requirements when using Machines.”
Except that this is mentioned nowhere in the buff description. In fact, the buff mentions “spark and wear will be reduced by 20% FOR MEMBERS”. Aka the only requirement according to the description is to be a member.
See i would have problems with that my workshop is under my alt plots and they are not in any guild but thats where i do all my crafting with my main who has the buffs
