-I don't think any of this makes sense -- it all depends how long you want your vigil to go. the first 12 hours of it are slow, and easy to maintain with a few people near their camps. After 12 hours, it's going so fast, you need supplies, in which case, you need some of everything it requests, probably 5+ sacs worth (on average), if you want it to last a while. But really what you want is 20 rich guilds involved in it, with huge stockpiles of every item in the game. Without 20+ people involved, you can't go mining for metals once it hits the 1 request/teppy minute stage, so you really need a huge number of people or absurdly rich people with enough offline time to do the runs. At least, that's how I feel... Managing a small vigil might work the way mentioned here, but a small vigil doesn't do much for you, really. :) Unless you do them 10 times...and if you just did stockpiling of resources for half the time it would take to do 10 vigils, you'd be able to make 1 vigil that gets you way more than 10x the points... - anon
+''All of the above amounts are very speculative, based on how long you intend to keep the fire going.  Lots of everything is a very valid strategy.''
-Storing materials, being able to replace as much as possible, administering the vigil, what doesn't make sense? (When you wrote, the bullet about forming a guild wasn't there. Does it help explain things any?) You don't need "20 rich guilds" involved if you plan appropriately (and the above is all about planning). With no more than 10 people at any one time, we achieved a roaring success of a vigil, IMHO. (We did have about 20 people total, coming in and out, and sometimes back in!) And replacing the resources as you go serves a very important second purpose: molding the vigil group into a team. - Sabt-Pestnu
+A solid recommendation would be to review the Vigil preparation lists provided by prominent Worship-themed guilds.
