DKP Rules (Revised 10/31/08) (submitted by Priori at 10:16pm PDT)

DKP is distributed as follows:

0.25- On-time, usually done around 6:00~
1.00- Raid Attendance Check, done every 1.5-2hrs
1.00- Bonus Raid Attendance Check, given if raid exceeds 9:30 PST.
1.50- Raid Progression Check, done every 1.5hrs, given only if the entire raid period spent on a difficult and new boss mob while using Full Consumables.

The List will go up before on-time is called even if the raid is not full, please list if you have the intent to raid so you do not miss this check. People on the list will earn DKP at it's full value as if you were on the raid. Remember to re-list when you sit, or un-list when you leave. The commands are List, Remove, and Position.

People on the list can be on-call on a special circumstance basis. Regardless, someone on the list should be easily reachable and be prepared to report to the raid within 5 minutes of being called. If we cannot locate you in that time period, you will be removed from the list and penalized 3 DKP.

DKP Adjustments:
These do not affect attendance, and are given as rewards for defeating a difficult boss, or penalties for not being readily available when called upon when on the list. Other punitive/rewards may be used through adjustments.

The most common adjustment since the change of on-time to attendance checks, is the 25% DKP penalty adjustment upon guild invitation. Raid invites earn their DKP at a 25%-rate during their application process as a method of providing some reward while they are still on trial.

Reactivation of raider status and personal requests for a class switch to another character, will also incur a 25% penalty. On occasion, this penalty may be waved with approval.

DKP and Bidding:

You are only allowed to bid DKP up until the previous raid earned. Do not bid DKP based on what you have earned for that day! It is your responsibility to know how much DKP you can bid and bid honestly.

DKP bids are bid in increments of 0.25. (5.25, 5.50, 7.75, etc.)

"Off-Spec" Bid: 2dkp bid, no priority bid, only beats other Off-Spec bids based on attendance. Only bids on items which will not be your primary raiding spec can be considered Off-Spec. The only exception is when you have already purchased an item of the same tier (determined by ilvl), and wish to buy it's counterpart off-set for specialty use.

"Min" Bid: 5dkp, can bid "min" even if you are in negative DKP. Anyone on the raid can bid min. Backup Raiders and Raid Invites share the same priority. Casuals have no priority, loot to them is subject to officer decision, but will often be ahead of off-spec.

Negative Bids have lower Priority than true min bids, please disclose a "negative min" bid when bidding. A bid of "min" will assume a positive bid.

Anything beyond 5: Normal bids by Raiders; Backup Raiders are capped at 10.

Special Exceptions/Items:
Epic Gems: 0.25 each
Heart of Darkness: 1.50 each
Sunmotes: 1.00min, bid in clusters of 5 or 6. i.e min on a 5 cluster would be 5, so 5, 5.25, etc are legal... 6, 6.25, etc for cluster of 6.

Legendaries:
Due to the nature of a legendary item, normal DKP standings will not be used. In the past, we have used a metric ratio of lifetime DKP earned for that given expansion as usable DKP to bid for a legendary.

However, since legendaries are extremely unique in design, expect a post with details of how we will handle an upcoming legendary item to be made about 1 week prior to reaching a boss capable of dropping the item.

In short, don't worry about it until then, legendary bids do not use normal DKP or normal DKP rules. Stocking up DKP will have ZERO affect on your standing for a legendary item!

Tie Breakers:
Tie breakers, should they occur when all of the above rules have been applied, shall be held using Attendance, starting with 30-day percentage, and moving to Lifetime. If a lifetime tie-breaker is needed, total DKP earned will be used.

NOTE: Officers reserve the right to waive the rules as necessary for exceptions on a case by case basis; this should be very uncommon.

Burning Crusade - Minimum Bids (submitted by selenar at 01:28pm PDT)

The current minimum bid amount for any item in the Burning Crusade is 5 with the exception of Nether Vortexes which have a minimum bid of 1 with special rules governing their awarding.

Nether Vortexes

These are bid on in normal fashion with the altered minimum bid of 1 point. However, the winner of the item then sets the price of their vortexes until they complete the item they are going for. They get all vortex drops until their item requirements are met for that item. If they are not present for the drop of a vortex, another person will start collecting their's and if both are present, the person with the oldest claim will continue collecting until they are done. So for example, if a vortex drops and I'm going to make Blazefury, I'll need 5. I bid and win at 6 dkp. I'm charged 6 dkp for the vortex and we proceed on. If we get another vortex 2 weeks later, there is no bidding for it. I get that one automatically and I'm charged another 6 dkp for it, etc. If I'm gone and one drops that Kinien wins for 8 dkp, and he needs two to complete a belt, then he's charged the 8. If we're both on during the next drop, I need 3 still so the vortex goes to me and I'm charged 6.

From Finniens Post 4-18-06 (submitted by Kinien Northoak at 11:50am PDT)

Some people have been shooting me tells periodically asking about the minimum bid for various loot, so I figured I'd post a quick thread reiterating what the various min bids are.

Resist gear (Any dungeon) / BWL class trinkets- 2 dkp min bid
Tier 1/World Boss non-class-specific - 3 dkp
Tier 1 class specific - 6 dkp (set armor, benediction/hunter leaf)
Tier 2 non-class specific (Rag, Ony, AQ, BWL) - 5 dkp
Tier 2 set armor (Rag, Ony, BWL) - 10 dkp

Note - set armor items in AQ have a 5 dkp min bid, due to their cross-class utility allowing for competitive bidding.
