DKP Rules

In QT Yacht Club we use the DKP system to win loot items in raids.

Firstly for those who don't know DKP (Dungeon Kill Points) is a virtual currency system to bid against other guild members on loot items during our organised guild 25man raids.

Gaining and Losing DKP Points

There are going to be several ways to gain DKP points within the guild, firstly the main way to achieve points is through raids. The ways to gain DKP points in raids are listed below:

• Signing up to a raid using the website calendar Here - 1DKP Point
• Finishing the raid - 10 DKP Points

Alternatively we will be rewarding DKP points for other things such as:

• Killing "New" bosses with the guild - 5 DKP Points
• Staying after hours in a raid - 5 DKP Every 30 Minuites
• Doing 25man Hard Mode Raid Achievements - 5 DKP Points
• Clearing the current end-gaming content 25man raid instance in a reset - 10 DKP Points
• (More ways to gain additional DKP points may be added later)

However you can lose DKP points too, some of these are:

• Signing up for and being approved for a raid but not turning up - -10 DKP Points
• Signing up for and being approved for a raid but cancelling 15minuites or less before the raid is due to start- -5DKP Points
• Going AFK in a raid without letting an officer know or going past a scheduled AFK break - -5 DKP Points
• Going AFK for up to 10mins without letting an officer know or past a scheduled AFK break - -5 DKP Points Per 5mins

In some rare cases people will go below ZERO DKP points.

Using Your DKP Points

To place your bid you will be required to whisper the Master Looter/DKP Master your bid when he starts the round of bidding. To keep things fair if the DKP Master wants to bid on an item, he will whisper the officers his bid before the round of bidding begins.

Bidding will work with a minimum bid of 10 DKP on loot items for your Main character and your main spec only. There will be 1 round of bidding for you to decide how much you will bid. There is no limit on a maximum bid so you can bid as much or as little as you like.

If you are a new Trial member, you don't have priority over Alts or Offspecs and you won't be able to outbid full time members. However you do have priority over Social members if they are present in the raid on a rare occasion.

However if you are playing an Alt or playing on an Offspec you can only bid against other Alts and other Offspecs in the raid. Alts and Offspecs will not be able to outbid somebody else who is raiding on their Main character but can outbid members who are on Trial or on Social. The minimum bid for Offspec gear is 5 DKP.

Both Main and Alt characters will share the same DKP pool. So lets say your Main character (A) has 200 DKP points, your Alt character (B) will also have the same 200 DKP points. The way this will play in raids is, if you are raiding on character (B) and you bid 50 DKP points on a loot item, both characters (A) and (B) will then have 150 DKP points between them.

Inactive and Social Members

If your not online for a period of time (14 Days without notice) you will be moved down to our Social rank (Sailor), you will still get your DKP but you won't be able to outbid a full member but you will be able to outbid Alts and Offspecs.

Trial players will get the same amount of DKP as full members but full members will still have priority on loot, however when a trial player becomes a full member they will still be able to keep all the DKP they have aquired as a trial member.

Summary

• There is only 1 Round of bidding
• Min bid for Main Spec loot - 10 DKP
• Min bid for Offspec loot - 5 DKP
• There is no maximum bid with DKP

• Main specs on Main characters (Buccaneer) have priority Trial (Stowaway) players.
• Players playing on an Alt or Offspec have priority over Trialists but not Main's (Buccaneer's).
• Social members have priority over nobody.
• Make sure Officers know who your Main character is and what your Main spec is.
