Empyrean Weapon Static Spreadsheet
Recruitment
Recruitment is closed and we are not taking any new members.
Others are welcome to join us!
All are welcome to come along to our runs for atma, but don’t expect to get any +2 items unless you bring your own pops (some gear will go to free lot, but +2s are generally spoken for, currently). Don't show up to help and expect to lot on +2s, they're not yours.
If you farm your own KIs for an NM we need (like Bukhis), you will be allowed to lot all of the gear and +2s from your pop (except the empyrean weapon items). /tell me if you have a pop you’d like us to use and I’ll let you know if it’s one we need and when we’ll use it. We can also talk about a deal for some +2s if you want to brew some of our more annoying NMs.
Times
All times are CST
Sunday: 5:00 PM
Monday: 5:00 PM
End times vary, but generally the runs go for 5+ hours.
The Weapons
Everyone in the static gets an empyrean weapon. The order we go for these weapons in is based on attendance.
Points and Attendance
Everyone in the static gets 1 point per hour. Each +2 will cost 1 point, unless going to free lot. A history of points and attendance is kept on the spreadsheet. There are separate point counts for +2s and weapon trial drops.
Wishlists and +2s
Everyone will get 1 main and 1 sub for +2s. Main and subs will be used to determine who gets first priority on a +2 drop. If no one has the +2 as a main or sub, the +2 is open or free lot. If you want to spend points on a drop, call it for open lot. Otherwise, non main/subs will be free. Open lot still costs 1 point, and you can't lot if you're in the negative. If 2 or more people have the same main or sub lot, points will be used to determine who gets to lot. We’ll have a simple wishlist system for any gear you want, but we won’t be focusing on gear until level 90 empyreans are done.
Negative Points
Anyone in negative points is not allowed to lot for open lot. Priority drops will go to main and subs with positive points, before going to anyone in negative points.
Post-Empyreans
After everyone gets their first level 90 empyrean, the focus of the group will shift to getting everyone gear and +2s. We’ll still be going for more empyrean weapons, but what we go for is going to be based on points after our first level 90 empyreans are done.
Pop Item Purchasing
After reaching level 90s, I realized it's not ideal to farm all of the rare items required to pop some of the 90 NMs for key items. Therefore, we will be purchasing pop items (currently planned for Apademak, Alfard and Orthus KI NMs). To make purchasing the pop items easier, we will do cruor farming runs. Show up to these runs and you'll be able to turn that cruor made into gil for buying pops. If you can't attend the cruor farming runs for any reason, you are still responsible for purchasing pop items. Everyone is responsible for an equal number of pop sets, regardless of attendance. I added a new tab to the spreadsheet to keep track of who purchased/provided pops for the group.
Weapon Points
After the original group's 90s, Deathrose's 80, Yanxia's 80, and Mazura's 85, we will start using weapon points to determine priorities for empyreans and other weapons. Empyrean weapon drop values are still being determined, and will either be a static cost 0.75 - 1 point, or varying point costs based on how long we have to spend on an NM (for example, Chloris KI farming takes a lot longer than Briareus KI farming, so Chloris drops would be .25 points more, each). OAT weapon drops will vary, 2 points for the drops from T3 VNM, then 0.5 points for the other drops (35 points for OAT, if not buying from bazaars). Point values may change if it seems uneven. If they change, they will be changed for all past and future drops to be fair.
EDIT (5/24/2011): Added free lot to +2 rules, posted ideas for potential rules in Weapon Points section, not finalized
EDIT (5/9/2011): Added a section on negative points
EDIT (5/7/2011): Changed recruitment status
