These apply to guildies and non-guildies the same.

1. Show up to raids with all necessary consumables. This includes water, shards, reagents, food buffs, pots and elixirs.

2. Keep AFK's to a bare minimum. The raid leader will issue AFK breaks during the raid. Please wait to AFK untill then if possible.

3. Raid invites will be based on raid need primarily. In cases of same class/spec, ties will be resolved by raid attendance %. Non-signups will be given last priority with EP used in cases of a tie. Raid leader however always has final say. Mains always have priority over alts.

4. The success of the raid is dependent on the group and its individual parts. You are expected to maximize your output on raids if you want to participate. Please take the time to properly gear, spec, and ENCHANT your gear. You may be asked to respec or given tips on how to maximize your potential. This is not to be mean or elitist, it is simply to maximize your potential and the raids.

HOW TO EARN EP:(Effort Points)

Time:

There is a time reward for keeping the pace of the raid fast. These times may change as the guild progresses demanding better and faster runs.

up to 200 EP can be awarded for a successful time Goal. Or other goals that the raid leader has set.

Boss Kill:

Naxx
10 man raid boss kills will earn you 30 EP
25 man raid boss kills will earn you 60 EP

Ulduar
10 man raid boss kills will earn you 60 EP
25 man raid boss kills will earn you 120 EP

Progressions bosses:

Once a raid is on farm it only gives 30% of its value. Gear is also 30% of its value.

A raid is considered on farm after it is cleared 3 times in a row.

First kill awards x2 EP.

Bosses NOT on farm awards EP even if not killed. The raid leader will determine and award a amount of EP for a good attempt.

HOW TO SPEND YOUR EP:

Announce your interest on said item in raid chat. If you have concerns that you have taken too much its always ok to say you pass. It however is NOT the responsibility of the raid leaders to help you decide if you want gear.
Base cost:

All Items costs are now based on a Mod call EPGP. If you want to know what a item cost is. Please go to curse and install this mod. The cost of the item is added in the tool tip of the item

Loot Priority is given in this order.
Declared Main spec/Alts/Main offspec/Alt offspec

Other items:
Abyss crystal: 15GP cost
Runed Orb: 75gp cost ( once the patch hits this will more than likely change)
There has been a change to offspec Gp price.( see additional rules)

EXCEPTIONS:

BoP plans/patterns for BoE items will go to a council or officer. Guildies may request the item for free providing the necessary mats.

Additional Rules.

1. OK this rule is specific to Tier loot. All officers will be inspecting and asking for what tier pieces you have. We are going to note which ones you have so we have it on record. We are doing this so that we will be able to give Tier loot to the people that have not received it. For example: I(defilted) have the T7.5 gloves already, these gloves drop, I will not be able to purchase these gloves for my duel spec until all guildies that are in the raid have received the T7.5 gloves.

2. We are also going to be asking you to declare a Main spec. This is really only going to effect the hybrid classes. The reason we are asking you this is because we need to know for loot purposes. If you are a Tank and you declare that is your main spec. You will not be able to purchase Offspec unless a RL specifically asks for a Offspec purchase of a item or it has dropped 4 times( RL's will be keeping a list of loot and the drops). I know with duel specs we are all trying to gear both specs, but we still need to put the offspec on the back burner for raid loot. If you decide that you need to declare a new main spec. You will have to purchase this change via GP. A change in declaration will cost you 500GP. That is about 5 Items worth of points, give or take. The reason for this charge will be explained in the next section. (note: Also this change has been added to prevent someone from changing main specs every week to collect loot) New note!! All offspec items have been reduced in price to 50% of the cost. This is to help hybrid classes that want to help the raid by gearing an alt spec. We felt that we where penalizing hybrids that just wanted to help with full cost of offspec items. We will not be going back in history and changing any amounts but going forward this change will be in affect. Rule went into effect 7/26/09.

3. Offspec rolling will be called for during the raid. Please do not roll for a offspec purchase until asked. This will cut down on confusion.

4. All raids farm or otherwise will now require you to purchase loot. Now to offset this a littl,; for every boss that we kill in a farm raid we will award 30% of its max value. So in Heroic naxx when we kill a boss the max value is 60 EP, you will be awarded 18 EP for each boss. 10 man naxx max value per boss is 30, 25 man naxx max value is 60. When you go up a tier raid level those values double. So when Ulduar is on farm we will give 30% of the those values as well. All items in a farmed raid will cost 30% of its value.
