I started a new DKP system so that I can reward everyone for coming to raids. DKP stands for Dragon Kill Points IE you get points for killing dragons.
DKP was started with the game Ever Quest which is the same type of game as WoW. When it was started the only raid bosses in Ever Quest were dragons which is why it’s Dragon Kill Points. DKP has been adopted into WoW ever sense it started and we will continue it in our guild.
The way the points work is players are awarded points for coming to raids and when ever loot is dropped they spend their points to receive the items.
There is a list of all the current DKP amounts which can be found in the link on the right side of the blog. This list isn’t up to date if there is a raid in progress, I will have the current DKP amounts during the raid if you need to know what it is. Also the DKP site should tell you what items people have received during raids and how much points they spent.
Getting Points:
Killing a boss: you will receive 2, 3, or 4 points, depending on difficulty, when you help the guild kill a raid boss.
Attending: You will receive 1 point for coming to the raid. If we have any issues with people being late I might change it to only those who come on time.
Achievements: If you receive a raid achievement IE defeating a boss for the first time, while participating in a raid you will receive 1 point although if it is a more difficult one it might be 2 points.
Accomplishments: these points will be awarded in various amounts and for different reasons. Right now everyone who reaches level 80 receives 10 points for all the effort they have put in, to help encourage people to level, and well just to start everyone out with some spending points. Other times you might receive this types of points is by recovering from a really bad pull or tanking a boss when your not tanking class or anything that normally shouldn’t work out but does that results in defeating a boss or trash in a raid.
Spending points:
Right now I am planning that points will be spent auction style, I haven’t decided whether to make it an open or silent auction.
When an item drops everyone will have the chance to place a bid on the item if your able to use it and it’s your main spec, IE a melee DPS druid can’t bid on healing gear and a tanking warrior can’t bid on a DPS armor. (some acceptations apply) A minimum bid of 5 points is required so that people aren’t getting gear for 1 point.
If no one wants to bid on the item then it will go to off spec but this will be done by rolls, anyone who wants the item and can roll roll for it. the winner will have to spend 3 points for getting the item. If no body wants the item for main or off specs then the item will be given to an enchanter if available to be disenchanted.
All items that are disenchanted during raids will go to the guild either for a stock of mats or to be sold on the AH all gold made this way will go into the guild bank.
Any blue drops will go to the guild bank to be sold or disenchanted. Any green drops will go to who ever is able to loot the body.
You can’t bid more points than you currently have but your able to go into negative points under some conditions. Main thing comes to mind is if some one currently has less than 5 points when something drops and they are the only who wants the item then they will get it for the minimum bid of 5 points causing them to go less than 0 points. this way no one can bid points they don’t have to win items.
Available points will count the boss that was just killed I will have the current DKP of everyone in the raid if you don’t know or forgot how many you have.
Note:
Please remember that we are just starting this DKP system and it is subject to change. The main point of DKP is to make distributing loot fair so it’s not just given to people randomly. The more you participate the more likely you will get the loot you want when it drops. If you have any questions or concerns please ask me I am open to suggestions, remember that I am new to this as well.
