We are BACK with another PLAT RAID on Agnarr! Drop some plat, get some loot, gear up your characters! This next plat run will happen Saturday September 25, 8:00pm EST. NOTE THIS IS EARLIER THAN USUAL Who am I: I'm an officer of Charge the Lair and our primary raid leader. I've been on Agnarr since server launch and have been raiding Time pretty consistently since June of last year. I've also hosted many public backflagging events over the past several months. How will this work: Mob dies. Item drops. I will ask for bids (in tells), and the highest bid wins. Provide me the plat (or krono equivalent), and then the loot will be assigned to your character. Who can join: Anyone who is lvl 65. I want to make sure that we have some minimum requirements of certain classes to actually ensure the raid works (I.E. we need 5-6 clerics, handful of tanks, etc), but otherwise no particular restrictions. I don't care what guild you're from, whether you're a main, box, or what. Box policy: Boxes are free to join the raid, but please let me know if you're boxing a character, which character it is. I will prefer mains to boxes, so if the raid becomes full, I'll start booting boxes for mains. I won't ask, I'll just start removing boxes. Preemptively, don't be offended if you have a box that gets removed, it's not personal! What happens to the platinum after: I will take a raid log every 30 minutes ("tick"). At the end of the raid, I will distribute the platinum to each person, based on the amount of ticks they were at the raid for. 2% of the platinum generated by the raid will go to me Raid start & end time: Raid will start Saturday September 25 at 8:00pm EST. I'll probably start forming the raid at about 7:30 and aim to start promptly at 8:00. The raid will end when Quarm dies. More specific rules: - The minimum bid for an item is 15,000 platinum during Phases 1-3. After Phase 3, the minimum bid will be 30,000 platinum. - Regardless of how many boxes/alts you bring, you will count as 1 person for purposes of the split. If you're not happy with this, don't bring a box. If I find out that you have boxes at the raid that aren't declared, you forfeit your split and will be banned from future raids - If there are is a tie, each person will be asked to submit a new bid - I'll use the Agnarr discord - you must be in discord to be eligible to receive plat. I don't care if you talk or not, but being in discord to listen to instructions is required. If I see someone in the raid that isn't in discord, I'll forfeit your split. I may or may not give warnings - We'll try to clear as fast as possible, but I'll leave enough time between bosses to do loot and make sure the raid is ready, so it may take longer than you're used to clearing with your guilds - Bids ideally are in platinum. Krono bids will be allowed, and a conversion rate will be announced at the start of the raid. I will also update this thread with the rate. There will be no change given. - People please bring heal pots, I likely will NOT be selling them, but would love if people did! - I'm expecting people to contribute on the raid. People who are consistently not contributing will be removed from the raid. I'll give 1 warning out to people who are egregiously not doing anything Final note: This isn't a race and we'll go at a pace that allows us to finish in time. Also, please have fun!
To save time. Openly: A: I am bidding 15k. B: I am bidding 16k. C: I am bdding 17k. [insert 15 more bids here] A: Oh, okay, then I'll up my bid. I am now bidding 40k. B: Hah, no, I will now bid 41k! Neverending story... In tells: Everybody has a chance to pay what the item is worth to themselves. Highest bids wins and raid moves on. Edit: If you bid low, you will not get items. But you still make a lot of plat at the end of the raid. If you bid high, you get items and make for a huge plat pool for the split at the end from which you will receive your share as well.
It seems counter-intuitive but closed bidding generates higher bids. Often times a person will cease bidding once they see others, especially if that person has "won" a few items already.
