:: IMPORTANT INFO ::
- these rules must be read and understood by everyone
- these rules CAN and WILL change over time. if you want to be sure, check them before each raid. This is important because....
- ...during a raid, the CURRENT version of these rules is valid. what was written here last week/month/year is NOT important. Only what it says NOW.
- finally, the rules are here to make our raiding more enjoyable, faster and more efficient, and to help the guild prosper.
:: RAID RULES ::
1. All members of the guild are required to raid with the guild at least TWICE per week.
2. The usual raiding time is 19:00 - 23:30 on workdays and 15:00 - 21:00 on weekends. This time might change for a specific raid, always check the signup topic and GEM ingame. The raids can be shorter or longer than the aforementioned time. Invites are half an hour before the start of the raid - this is the time when we expect everyone to be ready.
3. If there is a signup for a raid, the people who sign up will have priority to join the raid. However, raid leader has the last word on who he will invite. People who help raiding Onyxia and ZG more often, and help the guild in general, will have a bigger chance to be invited to MC and BWL.
4. If the guild needs you and you are online, you MUST come and help us raid.
5. Only raid leader (L) and raid assistants (A) are allowed to speak in raid chat during raid.
6. To raid with the guild, you must have the latest version of the following plugins:
- CT_raidassist
- Decursive (Druids, Mages, Priests, Shamans)
7. To raid with the guild, you must have the required version of the following software installed:
- Ventrilo
(current required version: 2.1.4)
8. Sit-outs
If a player didn't make it to a raid, he still has the option of being a substitute for the raid. He must contact the officer in charge (currently Csharp) and inform him that he wants to be a substitute for the raid. It's called sitting-out.
Substitutes must abide the following rules:
1. They must be ready and in Kargath at the beginning of invite time, and stay in Kargath till the beginning of the raid. They must be in Ventrilo, and they must join the following channel: #OSsubs. Csharp will also join this channel.
2. They must stay online until DKP officer or raid leader informs them the raid is over. They must respond if DKP officer or raid leader calls them in #OSsubs channel.
3. During the raid they can do what they want and go where they want, but they must be bound in Kargath (that means having a home in the Kargath inn) and ready to join the raid if someone leaves.
4. At the end of the raid all substitutes will get 8 DKP, or if they actually joined the raid at some point, they get being on time bonus + hours bonus for the duration of the raid.
Additional explanations:
- during a sit-out substitutes are encouraged (but it's up to them) to do something useful for the guild - farm essences, dark iron, etc.
- being a substitute is really simple, but if you fail to follow the above rules you will not get your 8 DKP.
:: LOOT RULES ::
1. Raid leader is in charge of looting and he distributes all loot (or chosses a master looter to take care of the loot). We use Master looter for looting.
2. Ninjaing items, mining stuff (without asking the raid leader), trying to loot bosses, is forbidden. Anyone who is caught looting bosses and is NOT master looter will lose all DKP for the run.
:: DKP SYSTEM ::
1. When you join a DKP raid, you get points. You use these points to get epic items.
2. ZG, MC, BWL, Onyxia's lair are DKP instances.
3. DKP points are given for the following achievements:
- number of hours you stayed with the raid
- first boss kills
4. Minimum price for epic items is the following
- world drops (most BoE epics) - 10 points
- 1st tier set pieces and other BoP epics - 10 points
- 2nd tier set pieces - 15 points
5. When an epic item drops, the following procedure starts:
- raid leader shows the item to raid members, stating which classes can bid on the item.
- classes that can bid and want the item start bidding. Bidding goes on in raid chat. All who aren't bidding must keep the raid chat clear during bidding. When the bidding is done, raid leader announces the current highest bid. Bidders can bid again if they can offer more points, and so it goes until noone wants to bid more than the current highest bid.
Minimum INCREASE BID FOR EPIC ITEMS IS 5 POINTS. If the other bidding player only has 60 points, however, you will be allowed to bid 61. (for example) This is the only exception.
