This section specifies the rules that dictate how the participants in official guild raids are required to perform.

• The guild will run mandatory raids on the days and times specified in the current raid schedule and roster. Guild members who have requested and been accepted in to permanent positions on these raids are required to keep an 80% or greater attendance for those days they're rostered. This will be based on the 30-day average each month.

• Those members who have been accepted in to the permanent roster for any number of days will be identified by a raider rank in the guild membership.

• Any raider needing to miss a raid or part thereof, or needing to miss a number of raids for a planned vacation, should post this on the away thread on the forum, giving considerate notice.

• Raiders failing to meet required attendance objectives will, after repeated notifications, be removed from the permanent roster.

• All raiders are required to have guild connect installed and password known Guild Connect and ready to use when necessary.

• Raiders must meet the minimum raider requirements as defined in the current recruitment policy. When the policy is changed, such as when an increase in the level cap occurs in game, a grace period will be granted to allow existing raiders to meet the new requirements.

• Raiders should make best efforts investing time to complete quests and instances in order to acquire recognised best-in-class pieces of gear. Raiders observed to be lacking a significant number of important pieces will be counselled to address the shortcoming.

• Raiders must familiarise themselves with the strategies posted in the raid encounter information section pertaining to the raid encounters currently in our schedule.

• Where the raid leadership deems it necessary, consumables such as potions, relics, deity abilities or repair kits may be mandated to be brought to raids. Such requirements, whether ongoing or for a specific planned raid, will be published in advance and must be met.

• Raiders failing to meet required preparation objectives will be counselled and set targets to be achieved by predefined deadlines. Failure to achieve such targets will result in removal from the permanent roster.

• During 4-hour raids there will be two 5-minute breaks, and during 3-hour raids there will be one 10-minute break. Although raiders taking occasional unscheduled breaks in exceptional circumstances will not be chastised, numerous such improprieties will not be considered acceptable.

• Raiders may be assigned certain goals specific to their class, such as damage output, cure reaction times, aggro-acquiring effectiveness, and healing output as examples. Where these goals are not being achieved consistently, the player will be counselled to address the shortcoming.

• Raiders must follow instructions given both in strategy literature and in voice or typed chat by the raid leaders. It is reasonable to expect mistakes and poor luck, particularly during initial attempts at new encounters, but where errors are being made due to obvious lack of focus and attention, such mistakes are considered unacceptable.

• Raiders failing to meet required logistics objectives after repeated notifications may receive penalties by means of points reductions or by being disallowed from bidding on loots. Ultimately, continued failure will result in removal from the permanent roster.

• The loot process will occur as defined in our raid loot policy.

• On a monthly basis, funds accrued by the guild will be distributed to raider-ranked people. This will be scaled according to attendance and only those with greater than the minimum 30-day averaged attendance requirement for the month will be eligible to receive.
