Yo. Celestial Sigils allow your guild to make a guild hall. Players sell them for at least 50,000 gold. They are found by winning the 'Hall of Heroes', located at the tomb of premieval kings. If you win the hall of heroes, a celestial sigil will be given randomly to one person on your team, as far as i know.

A guild sigil is what you use to purchase a guild hall for your guild to have their own "home" and GvG battles.

You can get a sigil one of two ways.
1. Win the Hall of Heros tournament
2. Buy a sigil from someone who has won it.

Either case is not easy. At the moment I'm seeing sigil's advertised at 40k-50k and my guess is they will probably continue to rise for a bit. They are tough to get as everyone wants one for their guild.

that sux, our 5 members in our guild prolly has ~ 5p max =(

Guild Halls really aren't that important unless you plan on doing organized PVP. Even though I can see why you would get one even if you don't PVP in guild to much seeing as my guild wanted one so I saved up 36k......

Yeah, I've got about 32k on me - but I'd like to save my money for the rare times something really good comes up for sale in Lion's Arch.

And the guild I am in only have 3 active players - so say if there were 12 members - pitching in 6k or so a piece would be easy.

I don't want to rain on peoples parade. but....
Don't buy them off players for 50k etc. If you take the boat ride in lions Arch and visit the arenas there is an NPC in the arena that will sell you a sigil for 40k.
Any player selling them for more than 40k is just trying to scam you!

well, the NPC will only sell them if someone sells them to her first. Which most of them don't do. And how much that NPC sells them for depends on how many they have.

Mirrasi · May 18, 2005, 01:12 PM // 13:12

Are you talking about the guild hall NPCs? Before we bought ours off someone, we spent days checkign those NPCs and of course they never had any in stock. Or is this something they have changed recently?

RepinsMirg · May 18, 2005, 01:17 PM // 13:17

They are only in stock if players who get them from the HOH sell it to them... which they rarely do.

Tormunda · May 18, 2005, 01:22 PM // 13:22

Have you tried since the last big patch?
I have seen them listed on that npc many a time since then.
Maybe people are just winning too many these days

Mirrasi · May 18, 2005, 01:28 PM // 13:28

No I haven't, but it would be nice if they made a change in that area. I've noticed GW has been really good at fixing things people tend to exploit (like adding expert salvage kits to Old Ascalon so people can't sell at higher price, and changing the look of dye remover so people can't pass it off as red dye).
