Northwind's Crib...

...Is open to public again.
The new location of my lair is now at Guild: Tavu, right near pad/portal and it was designed with crafter's needs in mind.

It has all T6 shops (+90 bonus) on the same floor for easy access and each of the shops should have at least 2-3 silos in operational range of shop's tools.
Crystalshaper and Gemworking are in range to the 3 silos above them located on level 0 and the one on level 1 while the rest of the shops are in range on the silos that are under them on level 3.

I was trying to maximize the useable space whenever was possible, so the access to lower levels is achieved through route: spiral, smelter, pawnbroker, spiral.

I hope the labyrinth factor is not to big, still the map should prove useful to the dragon crafters that will need the T6 bonuses.

Wow....what a lovely, elegant design...thanks for letting us have access!

Almost afraid to ask this: how long did this take to do (thinks of his paltry couple of T1 silos and corridors, and cries)?? :(

Thanks, much appreciated :)
It is not finished yet, but what was done took me like 3 weeks. I mean the t6 shops and part of the corridors/silos.
The t4 stuff was done mostly on novians from the previous lair

Realy great work, Northwind!

All silos are public now, the T6 machines were public since creation.

Please don't use the Silos for long time storage, only to process stuff.
The layout is made that every T6 shop has access to 2-3 silos behind/near them so if you "lock" one of the silos by storing stuff for days, then you actually hamper the use of the nearby T6 shop

With the introduction of the new Crystalshaper school, I heard that Transmutation Chambers will be put to work once again.
So I decided to try to fit one in my lair. This lead me to what it seems to be the best All-in-One Lair design I was capable of. And I got to it without tearing out the entire lair, but only a single T6 Lair Chamber.

Now it basically has everything.
Decent general storage totaling 560 stacks and 67200 bulk spread over a t4 hall, a t2 hall, a t6 lair and a t4 lair
Maximum library storage totaling 450 stacks and 7000 bulk spread over two t6 libraries, two t4 libraries and two t2 libraries
Satisfying silo storage spread over 16 t1 silos, out of which 13 are in working range of the various tools in the 6 shops
All T6 shops offering the maximum crafting bonus (+90), T6 Pawnbroker, T2 Consigner and T3 vault.

Attachment 1690

And, at last, it is completely finished, down to the last mural.

Finishing the last modification, replacing the t6 lair chamber with a t2 hall + t2 consigner + t6 library + t6 transmutation chamber + 1 silo, took quite some time - but it also involved getting done the last 13 murals.

Please be advised that Northwind's Crib will close very soon.
In the (unlikely) case that you have anything stored in its silos please remove them.
