Pre-raid

There are a number of things that substantially help the raid. Because of this, there are some rules that are apply outside of the raid itself.

While progressing it would be appreciated that players be conscious of running raids outside of the existing raid team. By running raids and looting bosses outside of guild runs, you could potentially hinder the gearing process of other raiders.

Unless there is no raid planned, please never use your Mythic lockout unless you cannot raid with us.

The current raid status will be updated as Shadowlands progresses, but as of now, Heroic Nathria is considered OK to run outside of the guild in Heroic up to Stone Generals. However, attendance to Heroic clears is appreciated. We regularly arrange loot sharing for special items on the last two bosses.

When the next tier is released please consider ALL tiers above LFR to be progression until notified.

Signing up

Signing up is a key part of the raid organisation.

To help with attendance and planning:

• Please sign up using the calendar at least a day in advance
• If you are going to be late OR cannot attend for whatever reason, it is your responsibility to get in contact with an officer OR preferably: notify the whole guild using the #absence channel in discord
• Raiders should meet the Raid Requirements
• We monitor attendance of progression raids. We ask raiders to have reasonable attendance. Regularly missing raids may lead to losing your spot to someone with higher attendance.

To be clear, calendar invites will be sent to a broad range people. An invite on the calendar is not a guarantee of an invite to the raid. Please understand that the raid is meant to be inclusive, but you must be prepared. Raid information and invites are shared openly to encourage and help plan. Once again; these are not guarantees of being able to play in the raid.

If you cannot be sure of being ready at the raid start time, please use the tentative status and let an officer know. It is not a problem to mark yourself as tentative, this information is useful. However, it causes huge problems if you sign up and do not attend.

Also; the guild uses "Standby" to indicate just that: You are on standby. Numerous people have got Guild First kills, mythic progression and other great achievements while marked as a Standby for that night. Real life often takes over and having reserves is vital. Please make sure you attend and are contactable if you are on standby.

Invites

It is really frustrating to start late with raids. This can be avoided by being ready for invites at the correct time.

• Invites start at 20:15 server time
• In the event we are short for a particular instance we will look to reserves or pugs to fill the remaining spots at 20:16... although pre-arranged absences or lateness will have their spot kept if appropriate.

During raids

• Res, Hero, and wipes should not be called by anyone but the RL/GM. Innervates are the same, but can be called by healers also.
• Wipes should be done quickly, with the aim of a quick restart
• Repairs/repair bots, when dropped, should be used
• Low performance or consistently failing at required tasks may lead to benching, but considering the guild's semi-hardcore nature, we don't expect world-first performance, and we accept the occasional mistake

Pet Hates/Unusual rules

The following are extremely annoying; please:

• Don't release after a bossfight without instruction; this is in immediate 10K guild bank fine on progression raids
• Don't use the Transmorpher Beacon; it spams loud audio throughout the fight
• Don't use the Toy Train Set; it's annoying
• Don't use the SwapBlaster or movement toys; people will then use the immunity, which prevents useful lifegrips in boss fights

TL;DR

• Sign up, be on time, let us know if you can't
• Accepted =/= Confirmed
• Be prepared
• Be efficient and work hard in raids
• Don't release
