Guilds/Pyromaniacs

General Info

We are a guild dedicated to the Test of Pyrotechnics.

Our Mission is threefold:

• to coordinate to schedule more pyrotechnics shows
• to actively seek out and use Portable Star Labs to open more star recipes
• to help anyone that needs it to pass the Principles of Pyrotechnics.

Our guild chat is also a place to discuss any issues related to the test, and ask for and give advice for designing mortars. Everyone is welcome, from novice firework fans to veteran mortar designers.

Our Guild Hall is located at RP 1562, 2823, just southwest of the RP chariot. Our WH for stashing donations and CP for assisting with principles is right next to the WH.

Our CP has a public chemistry lab inside. (not upgraded, but fine for gunpowder). We also have a public barrel grinder inside. We also have 8 upgraded marble tubs for our guild members, (thank you Lazybum for building them!)

Current Guild News!!

People have been working together and getting shows going. Great work folks!

We have tons of star labs, so anyone can feel free to arrange Star watching parties, and view them. Or even, view some by yourself. Just be sure to turn them in at the OE university of Art, which remains our one-stop-shop for new star formulas.

Star Lab Donations

We are currently seeking Star Lab donations! Many people pick them up from universities, but either don't use them, or don't know what they are for. We can help!! Chat Avanya for instructions on how to use them to pick a new star recipe, or let our guild do that for you. You can chat an elder in the guild to arrange your star lab donation, or simply drop the lab by our guild hall and transfer ownership to a guild elder. We really appreciate your help in opening more recipes for all of Egypt to use and enjoy!

We want to help! Our guild elders will guide any pyro student through this process at our cp in RP. We will provide all the necessary materials, as well as help to design a simple show. (Any donations of materials that the student can provide to help defray our guild costs will be gratefully appreciated). The whole process will take place right near the RP chariot.
