Raiding Bahaviour

[Nymphaea]

R A I D I N G:
1.0 Signing up for raids:
Raids will be posted in the Raids section, and people are expected to sign up for raids here, to be allowed a spot. Signing up will also reserve you a spot in the raid, unless we have a large amount of a specific class singing up.

Please let us know in fair time, if you cannot attend a raid that you have signed up for. This enables us to find a replacement for you. Failure to notify us on not being able to attend these raids is looked down on.

- We will try to schedule raid days a week ahead, so that our members can prepare themselves in time.
- With respect to our fellow Guild Members and efforts of the people organizing, we ask our members to give priority to the announced Raids.
- Members that wish to join the raids, must sign up on the website.

We are not casual in the sense of a low-focus guild. When we call a raid on a raid day, we expect high attendance.

2.0 Leaving early/joining late:
When someone is at a raid, we feel the only allowed ways to leave the raid are logging off for Real Life or explicit Raid Leaders permission (e.g. in case of overkill, other raid targets coming up or extreme lag). If possible inform about early leaving and late joing on sign up on the website or to the raid leader before the start of the raid, so replacments can be found. Being late, even if announced, can result in not getting a place in the raid.

3.0 Communication:
The Raid Leader is responsible for the success of the raid and thus has authority on the raid. (We usually maintain several channels on our raids, a raid channel, a chat channel and several special purpose channels, e.g. for pulling, healing, buffing, etc.)

Please stay clear of spamming the raid channel with useless clutter, so only information regarding the raid is displayed in raid chat. Use whispers, party, or guild chat, if you like to chat. Please keep questions out of raid chat too. Ask one of the more experienced players in a tell or use guild chat.

The Raid Leaders plan, prepare and lead the raids. Their words and decision counts on raids. Suggestions are welcome once, but no discussions that may delay or even endanger the raid. Take any disagreement to our forum and discuss them there, after the raid - we have a special forum just for that.

4.0 Loot Rules:
4.1 We have master looter on during the whole raid.
4.2 Green items (BoE) will be retained by the Master Looter and disenchanted for guild bank funds.
4.3 Blue items will be, unless needed by someone in the raid group, retained by the Master Looter and stored in the guild bank for members to claim if needed.
4.4 After combat/a boss fight the Master Looter will post in Raid Chat which items have dropped.
4.5 If you need the item you may roll on it.
4.6 Ats may only roll on an item if no mains need it, or they have been asked to come on their alt by the Raid Leader, for the better of the raid group.
4.7 Recruits have last priority on items, they may roll on an item, if noone else needs it.

- If no-one present in a raid will not / cannot use it, then it wil be disenchanted and go to the guild bank.
- You may NOT roll on items (BoE) for your alts - The needs of those in the raid or group come first.

5.0 Addons:
We have mandatory addons, that must be installed and familiarised before joining a raid. Without these addons bossfights and organising the raid will be difficult. Updated versions can be found here. Be sure to check for updates regulerly (at a minimum, after every patch).

You are also expected to have Teamspeak up and running. You do not need a microphone. But you do need to be on to be able hear the course of action prepared by the Raid-Leader. Please do not speak or play music on Teamspeak, unless what you have to say is of relevance to the raid. Those that don't comply may get muted, kicked or in worst case banned from the server by an admin and eventually kicked out the guild. You can find more info about Teamspeak and how to set it up here.

6.0 Be prepared:
6.1 Be on time. If you have signed up for the raid, you are expected to be available 30 min before raid start for invites. And to be outside the entrance of the raid 15 mins before raid start. Unless you have informed the Raid Leader or other Officer and up attending the raid, that you will be late.
6.2 Be available for the instance. Do not be locked out/saved to the instance with anouther group.
6.3 Repair. If you are not fully repaired at raid start, this may hold up the raid later on, as the group may have to wait for you to repair.
6.4 Reagents. Have all the reagents your class requires for buffs and spells
6.5 Have sufficient Potions/Elixirs/Flasks/Weapon oils/Sharpning stones/Arrows/Bullits/Shards to last through the raid.
6.6 Be Connected to the Teamspeak Server 15 mins before the Raid starts.
6.7 Have PvP Disabled 15 mins before the Raid starts.
6.8 Have the Mandatory Mod's Installed and the knowledge how to use them.
6.9 Have the Mandatory Programs Installed and the knowledge how to use them.

7.0 Knowledge:
The key to successful raiding is knowledge. Know your role; know how it interacts with all other roles. Visit your role specific forums regularly. Know the zones we visit and know the zones we travel through. Have maps available at all times. Read any raiding guide available, browse our forum and add your own knowledge to it. The better prepared we are, the more successful we are - and this applies for everyone, not only for the raid leaders.
