DKP EXPLAINED – What is it?

What is DKP? Why do we use it? How does it work? Do I need an addon? How does looting work?
These are all good questions that I’ll try to answer in the best possible way.

What is dkp?
DKP stands for “Dragon Kill Points” and is a loot-system we’ll be using in Exodorians starting 16.05.2017. The whole point with this system is to hand out loot from the bosses we kill, in the fairest possible way.

Why do we use it?
We want to reward our hardest working members and give our regular members a higher chance to win loot they’ve been working for. For example: If a brand new member joins ICC25, and Deathbringers Will drops. Who deserves it more, the guildie that has completed 15 raids with the guild or the one who has come once maybe twice? The answer is logic, the one who has been here for 15 raids will most likely join several more times, and he has been working much harder then the new guy. While the new raider might get the item and leave the guild after 2 weeks or go inactive.

How does it work?
Whenever you do any of the following actions, you will be rewarded with our custom “DKP Currency” which is referred to in numbers below:

• +10 DKP == Meeting up in time (Even if you don’t get a spot)
• +10 DKP == Finish Raiding @23:00
• +5 DKP == Per 25m Boss Killed
• +10 DKP == Per 25m Heroic Boss Killed

However there are some actions that are rewarded with (-)DKP. These are the following:

• -20 DKP == Leaving the raid before 23:00, unless you told officers before joining

You will use this “DKP Currency” to bid on items that drops in our Guild Raids. Minimum bid is 1 DKP and there is no max bid. The person who bids highest wins the item. You do not know who bids or how much they bid. So you bid what you think the item is worth for you. How you bid is very simple, when an item you want drops, whisper the raid leader the number of DKP you want to spend on that item. (For Example: “/w 25”)

Can I send DKP between characters?
Yes, and No. You will earn DKP on the character you a raid with, and not account wise. This means that you’ll have to decide what character is your main and alt. To make it fair, if you play ur alt and gain dkp.. U can send it to your main. (This because: If we need ur alt instead of ur main. You shall still be rewarded). But you cannot send DKP from a main, to your alt. (This because: If your main is fully geared, you should not be able to send loads of dkp to ur alt so u get all the gear that drops). So, you can send DKP from your alt to your main, but not the other way around. (You can by discussing with Bjerkeng first, switch main characters)

RULES
We’ve come to a point now, where rules are very important. We want to make all of our guildies happy and satisfied. And right now these rules are for the guilds best.

•  You won’t win items that will benefit a different class more then your own. Unless no one else bids for Main Spec. This means that warriors are second in line when bidding on an leather item. UNLESS it’s BiS. And what is BiS is up to the raidleader.
• You are allowed to send DKP from your alt to your main. But not the other way.
• You can change your Main and send all your DKP, but only every 2-3 months.

Bidding Rounds
We will be using two rounds of bidding. It’s simple, one round for Main Specc & one round for Off Specc. In the Main Specc round you are not allowed to bid for Off Specc. If no one bids for Main Specc, the round goes over to Off Specc. We figured this was the most fair way to do this.

There is one exception to this Rule. And that is if.. You are Grindtard and you’re fully BiS. 100% full on items. You can bid for Off Specc in the Main Specc round. Or if the last item you need is from a boss that is unprogressable.
