ICC GDKP Run -

Guidelines for GDKP -

1) No Carries - Character needs to look like it belongs in ICC - The toon you wish to bring should be in mostly 232/245 gear. If you're on the low end of the gear spectrum you may have to sit.

When I start invites, be on the toon you feel is the most geared/qualified to be in the run. Unless I lack a class, I am not asking anyone to swap toons. I am making the raid with what is invited. I honestly do not care who brings what, so long as they are geared appropriately. I will not be bringing my Naxx geared DK, dont bring your Naxx geared whatever.

2) Raid > Anything - If there are more than 3 of one class, I will most likely default the best geared into the raid (most likely, but not guaranteed). If the officers cannot decide who else to take /random will apply. There may be some people I will NOT ask to random - these may be tanks, healers, certain classes, or just someone who I say "is in the raid".

3) Gold - Any player interested in coming should look to bring at least 5k gold and be willing to spend it. Any player that passes on a legitimate upgrade may not be taken to subsequent runs. I'm not going to force any items on anyone, but having upgrades get DE'ed defeats the point of doing this.

4) Minimum item cost - Most items in ICC will start at 800g. Weapons will be higher. Trinkets will probably also start higher. Remember for most of the characters going these are END GAME items- unless the toon starts doing H ICC 10/25 it doesnt get better than this till Cata.

5) Raid will end 3-4 hours after first pull - Depending on how the raid is going, the raid leader(s) will decide if we're going to push past the 3 hour mark or just call it. Trust me, since this is a casual for fun run I have zero desire to waste the raids time, but if we're making good progress and that extra hour will down a few more bosses (or a harder Tier boss) we may use it. Plan to stay at least 4 hours, but be prepared to raid only 3. As ICC gets nerfed (Strength of Wrynn buff increases) the raid will go faster and faster.

6) Quest Items - Assuming we down the bosses needed for the Axe, the quest items off the boss will be auctioned like everything else. However, the items will go as a set for the instance. If we eventually get to the point where we're auctioning off pieces to make the legendary, those items may work differently. I have no doubt we'll be full clearing this place so a legendary will be made - the starter axe I suspect we'll have quite a few of those before we're done.

Standard GDKP Rules-

What is GDKP? http://elitistjerks.com/f15/t77416-gdkp ... ur_server/

TLDR version - 25 people go into an instance, to get loot they "buy" it with gold, at the end the gold gets split among the entire raid.

Q: But Floral, why would I want to go to YOUR run when there are other pug runs doing this?
A: First, after our successful runs we have proven that we are reputable and able to handle this type of event. Our raid forms in a timely manner, loot is handled efficiently, and probably the rarest item in the game was not ninja'ed (ony mount sold for 19.5k). With GDV you get a consistent and capable raid which will 100% satisfy your needs and deliver a quality raiding experience. A successful and fun raid is our goal.


Loot rules:

Loot will be done by using GDKP- for a COMPLETE BREAKDOWN OF GDKP read this http://elitistjerks.com/f15/t77416-gdkp ... ur_server/

some additional clarification -

1) Only gold ON THE CHARACTER IN THE RAID can be used for bidding. Only items which you can use (or sell) may be bid on. ie, you cant bid someone up on the Uber Sword of Awesome if you cannot equip it.

2) All items will have some price based on how awesome they are. All prices are SUBJECT TO CHANGE week to week. A partial list of items may be compiled before the raid, but again ALL PRICES SUBJECT TO CHANGE.

3) At any point during the bidding I may ask you to put the gold you're bidding with in trade. If you do not have it to trade me, I will remove you from the raid. You will not get a share of the gold if this happens. "The gold is on my alt" is not a valid excuse.

4) If you are not present during a bid cause your grandma is on fire, the cat screamed, or your wife is nagging you, then you forfeit your right to bid.

5) If you are not at the kill of the final boss of the night or when the raid is called (the time will be announced at the start of the run for the 3 hour finish), you do not get a share. Only characters in the raid will receive a share of the gold. The raid leader does not get any additional gold.

6) I dont expect it, but any action deemed inconsistent with finishing the run fast (ie, turning on path of frost while falling to anubs room, going up the elevator when asked not to, starting the airship event early) will result in being kicked from the raid.

On the off chance we ever do a different instance other than the ones listed, the items will go for this price

items: 100g per


Bidding

Bids need to be entered in 100g increments, in /ra, when the item is called for. Bids over vent, sent as tells, that happen before the item is linked, DO NOT COUNT.

Bidding will not pause for any reason. In other words, check out the loot list in toc and have a general idea of what you want before it drops. If you are absent during a bid for any reason you forfeit your right to bid.

Orbs, Patterns, Voids, Ony Gem Bag, Artic Furs
Going forward these will all be collected and passed to the Raid Leader to be auctioned off as a "set" with a varying starting price. Depending on what all drops for the night it may be a set of patterns, then a set of orbs, etc. Or it could be all together. This will be decided at the end of the raid and will vary depending on what drops. Plauged Saronite will not fall into this category.

The Ony bag is now the ONLY ITEM that will start at less than 300g - it will start at 100g, with a 100g incremental bid.

Quick FAQ:

Q: Do all members get a share of the gold?
A: Yes! Gold will be divided after the bids are in from the final boss of the night. Anyone in the raid who is not AFK or offline when I am handing out gold gets a share of the pot.

Q: So if I was there for the whole run but my dog peed on my router while Anub was at 5% and my net cut out, I dont get gold?
A: That is correct. You must be present for the end of the raid to get your share.

Q: What happens if I come in just for the end boss?
A: You will get a full share of the pot.

Q: What happens to items not bid on?
A: Any item not bid on will go into my bags. I will attempt to re-auction them during the final boss in case someone changed their mind. After that, BoPs will be DE'ed and BoE's will go to the bank of Floral. This is the only case where the raid leader "gets differential treatment", and hopefully this will NEVER HAPPEN. My hope is that ALL ITEMS get sold.

Q: I messaged you on Thursday, you said be there at X time, and I didnt get an invite. What gives?
A: If you didnt get an invite it was for one of three reasons: 1) You didnt have any gold 2) You didnt have any gear 3) We just didnt have room. While I do want to make us all some money my first priority is making sure the run is able to kill all bosses with minimal effort.

Q: How much money do you think we'll walk away with?
A: This is hard to pin down. I am hesitant to put a number out there, but we have been making about 1800g per run. Note I do not guarantee that much, but thats been pretty much what each week gets us.

Edit - made some small changes.

Best raids ever if don't want to roll for gear!!

[Shaft]

Still very interested in this should slots become available in the future.

Bumping

[Floral]

ICC prices lowered a little as the instance has been out for a while - remember this run is more about having fun than making 5,000+ gold - the gold is just a bonus.

[Floral]

For this weeks run we're going to try to down as much as we can - I havent required flasks or food buffs so far, but beginning this week expect to go through 3 hours of flasks and have ample food (assume there will be no fish feast even though there probably will be).

If you are not flasked, you will not receive a share of gold. Bring at least three flasks to this raid.

Probably going to stay in ICC the entire time as well since we should have the 10% extra dps/health/healing buff. That should allow us to down quite a bit of content.
