.: Illumin Cathari Loot Distribution :.

Loot Distribution Rules

The following rules apply to the guild and guests during Illumin sponsored raids. These rules may be altered prior to hunting when all participants are in agreement. These rules apply to any Illumin planned events. Certain situations may need to be treated on a case by case basis. If such a situation arises then the Loot Comptroller will decide on a fair resolution.

[ General Loot Guidelines ]

Need Before Greed

It is hoped that if you have something better than what drops that you will not lotto. On raids we're looking to improve ourselves on the whole. If you own something that is obviously better than what drops then you should not participate in the lotto. If you're only going to gain 1 AC or 1 stat point over your current piece while someone else stands to gain much more over what they have, pass on the lotto, especially if what you would be replacing is No Drop or you wouldn't be willing to hand it down. This gives the family a chance to improve themselves on the whole. Sometimes what is better is a shady area and if the item that drops is questionable then it will be handled by the Loot Controller on a case by case basis.

Group Leaders

It is the responsibility of the Group Leaders to check corpses. Gems, spells, and other cash prizes should be looted by the group leader and given to the gem keeper. Any items that are not NO DROP should be looted and handed over to the Loot Controller immediately. It is also the Group Leaders responsibility to send the Loot Controller a tell immediately concerning all no drop items so that a lotto may be done before the corpse disappears.

Present vs. Absent

Guild members who are dead and waiting for a rez, getting supplies for the raid, leading others to the camp area, Linkdead, etc., are considered "Present" and will be included in lotto's so long as they satisfy the rules below. If a primary is present but not being played by the original owner then that primary will only have rights to lotto if all of that class who are both present and the Loot Comptroller agree to it.

General Class Distribution

If more than one class is present at the event that can use the item dropped then the item will be lotto’ed between those who can use it and don't already have something better. If that item is for a certain class and only one of that class is present then the item goes to that member by default if and only if it is an upgrade for that member.

Class Specific Loot

Members of Illumin Cathari as well as invited guests necessary to the success of the raid and of the appropriate class will be eligible to lotto on any class specific armor only if the item is an upgrade. Once an individual wins an item then he/she will not be eligible to roll again on that raid day until all members of that class have won. If you are found abusing this privilege then you will be asked to leave. Weapons and Shields will be considered separately from Class specific armor.

Lore/Non Lore Items

If you already have the item and it is Lore then you will not lotto.

If you already have the item that drops then you will not lotto. Some exceptions may be made by the Loot Controller in regards to those items that a character may equip two of such as one handed weapons, earrings, rings, and bracers. Any class present who can use the item and who doesn't already have something better may lotto. If those classes present that can use the item already have it or have something better then the Loot Controller will decide whether the item will be lotto'd between all who are present, saved for another member of the guild, or be added to the guild bank.

Secondary Characters

Secondary characters are allowed to attend guild events in place of a primary but will be limited when it comes to lotto's. If you attend a raid as your Secondary character, you will only be allowed to lotto for your primary if the Raid Leader and the Loot Controller agree to it when the raid begins. Secondaries who are present at an event will only be allowed to lotto for the secondary if the item dropped is not an improvement for any of the primaries at the event who can use the item. The only exception to this rule is if the Raid Leader or Raid Coordinator personally requests that someone play a secondary for a specific raid. Secondaries may only roll for either the primary or secondary (not both) once the decision is made.

This rule applies to any guilds or guests that may be attending Illumin raids as well. Any member of an invited guild or any invited guests who are found to be attending our raids as a secondary without notifying the Loot Controller that you are a secondary will have all characters banned from any future Illumin raids.

All players with the ability to play two characters simultaneously must adhere to the secondary rules. If the player was asked to bring both characters to the raid, the player may only roll for one character at that raid.

Epic Items

Any items obtained that are needed for epic quests will be handled by the Epic Coordinator. Only members of Illumin Cathari and any Invited Guild will be eligible to receive epic quest items on an Illumin sponsored raid. It is up to the members of Illumin Cathari to keep the Epic Coordinator informed of your epic status. It is up to the guests of another guild present to inform our Epic Coordinator of their epic status. Epic items will be rewarded to the individual who is furthest in his/her epic quest. If it is too close to call then those individuals will be asked to lotto, or the officers of Illumin Cathari may make an executive decision. Some epic raids may be planned specifically to obtain an epic item for a certain member. If this is the case then it is up to those members of Illumin who have approved guests coming to inform their approved guest that the item is already spoken for.
