How viable is a small guild?

I regularly play with two friends, and we are all lvl 100+ at different stages of endgame (2 archers and a mage, if it matters). How difficult would it be to meet my goals as a guild of three very casual players?

My goals:

• Get the Guild Wars mastery tome
• Lvl 10 guild to unlock weekly objective
• Recoup the 20 le investment through territory control/wars
• Making modest profit of emeralds and xp

Things I don't care about much:

• Long-term territory control
• Clout, leaderboard stuff, or guild politics
• Making huge profit from territory control (though it'd be nice)

 

Getting to guild level 10 to unlock weekly objectives, and then doing those each week for the tomes + emeralds will definitely be doable.

You're not going to be able to get the emeralds back through warring or territory control, but perhaps after a long time of completing the weekly objectives.

It will take a long time before you make back that 20 le and start making a "modest" profit. It will be difficult to earn any le from warring at all unless you're a huge guild (isn't the only way to earn emeralds from territories, holding them at the end of a season, as well as placement rewards?) and completing the target guild objectives per week provides 1024ish emeralds per completion.

Guilds just . . . aren't a good source of emeralds, if you're doing it for the profit you're better off just running TCC or TNA over and over again.
