Alarius is an adult guild with an excellent reputation for skill and fair play. We are intolerant of any behavior that reflects negatively upon us. This includes, but is not limited to, harassment, stalking, kill stealing, camp jumping, or any other action that strays from our tenets of honorable skilled play. There are few second chances offered to players who violate this policy.

Alarius is based in the West Coast of the United States. We raid three nights a week: Sunday, Wednesday, and Fridays from 9pm-12am PDT. We are committed to working together to progress as a guild; however, we do not race through content. We find our way through high end events the Alarius way. If you want to have fun learning the non-top guild way through progression, then we are it!

We do more with less!

Alarius DKP System

1. Raiders are awarded 1 DKP for showing up on time. In the event that you are not there and ready when we give these points out - you miss them. No exceptions.

2. Raiders are awarded .25 DKP at the one hour mark and again at the 2 hour mark. Same details as #1.

3. Raiders are awarded .50 DKP for any progression wipe. Same details as #1.

4. Raiders are awarded 1 DKP for being present at the end of the raid. Same details as #1.

5. On raids where we go to test new things, and no mobs are killed, we will award DKP at the officers discretion.

6. You must attend a minimum of 1 Alarius raids before you are eligible to earn DKP.

7. If you are inactive for a period of 4 weeks your DKP will be reset to Zero. If there is a reason you are not going to be on for this period of time the officers NEED to know.

• Alarius members who start raiding again after being inactive for 4 weeks or more are eligible to have their DKP restored after they have attended 3 raids.
• Raid friends are not eligible to have their DKP restored. Period.
• Returning members who have left the guild will not have DKP restore requests honored until they have been a full member in good standing for 30 days since the date of their return, and meet the minimum raid requirements. If you were not a full member for at least 6 months, or did not attend at least 50 raids, you will not be eligible for a DKP restore.

8. DKP does not exist until the raid log has been uploaded. We strive to get raids uploaded as soon as possible, but it may take a few days from time to time.

9. 45% of DKP spent on items is evenly divided amongst the raiders (with the exception of the person spending the points). Those DKP points are awarded when the loot from that mob is awarded. If you are not in the raid at that time, due to LD or leaving early, you will not receive the "recycled" DKP.

• The last item can be a bit hard to understand, so we will provide an example for it. Lets say we have 40 people in a raid to kill Vallon Zek and Tallon Zek. Vallon drops 2 items and Tallon 2 items. Combined 90 DKP is spent on the drops. Everyone will receive 1.01 DKP, except those who spent DKP. Keep in mind that you can spend DKP, or earn DKP - but not both at the same time. So if you are spending, you do not get any of the "recycled" DKP.

10. Raid Friends earn the same amount of DKP as guild members and applicants.

• Guilded Alarius alts earn 50% of the DKP a guild member would, and are subject to spending limits.
• Raid friend and applicant alts can not bid on items unless they are going to rot. It is important to double check before asking for rot loot as a raid friend, raid friend alt, or applicant alt.

11. You will not be awarded points if the DKP system determines that you are not in the raid during any of the following:

• Raid start. Start points are awarded at 9:00:00 PST/PDT.
• Any of the hourly checkpoints. (e.g. If you are not in the raid at 10:00:00 or 11:00:00 PST/PDT you will miss those points.)
• You left the raid or LD before loot for that mob was done. For each loot, a percentage is awarded back to all people currently in the raid.
• The end of the raid. If you leave before we call "raid over", you may miss the ending points.

1. A loot channel is created for each item that drops from a raid event. The channel will be announced in raid 3 times, and then there will be a call for open bids to begin on the item. Bids can be increased up to as many DKP points as an individual can spend in FULL point increments only. Loot must be awarded quickly to keep the raid moving. DO NOT drag out this process.

• In the rare event that more than one bidder has the exact same DKP and wish to bid ALL their DKP the item will be rolled between the bidders. It is your duty to know how many points you have.

2. Alarius members, guild applicants, and raid friends may bid as much DKP as they have currently earned. Alarius alts have a bid cap of 5 DKP against Alarius members and applicants, and 30 DKP against raid friends. Applicant alts and raid friend alts have a DKP bid cap of zero.

• You are NOT allowed to spend DKP that you do not have. Winning a bid that places you into negative DKP will result in an additional 15 DKP being removed from your total. Alarius does not allow negative DKP except under special circumstances.

3. Duplicate items (e.g. Luminessence/Incandessence) are considered 1 item until all bidding stops. Once bidding stops the items will be awarded to the highest 2 bids. Alarius alts are limited to the standard max bid of 5 DKP when bidding against guild mains/apps, 30 DKP when bidding against raid friends, and unlimited when bidding on said item against other bots only.

We have a play nice policy. If something seems wrong and you need to ask, it is probably wrong. These rules are in place to try and get gear into the hands of as many active raiders as possible.

NOTE: These rules may change from time to time as we "tune" DKP.
