Hello. Glad to see you looking at our recruiting page. Let me give you a little info about our guild. We are a raiding guild that raids 4 nights per week and are taking down some of the more difficult mobs and quests. We raid evenings, typically beginning at 7:00 CST. We are a group of friends that enjoy hanging out and playing the game, while also working towards some of the more difficult game content. We realize that this is just a game and beyond that is some weird reality called RL, and try to strike a balance between them. We are currently progressing through Demi-Plane of Blood, PoR, and TSS content, and farming Anguish and Vishimtar. Epic raids may be scheduled around other guild raid events but are often done on n non-raiding times in smaller groups. If you want these events, be prepared. Know the event and coordinate getting members together. Our loot policy revolves around the DKP system. The DKP system was designed to ensure the fair distribution of loot throughout the guild, letting people pick which loot they want to "buy" with their points. Every raid you attend you will receive a certain number of points. Loot that drops will be bid on using an auction system. When asked, a person may "buy" the item with their earned DKP. No DKP points will be earned until you are a probationary member, and no DKP can be spent on loot until voted in to the guild as a full member following the probation period, unless no mains/hydras at the raid bid. We reserve the right to restrict bidding on certain items to a certain class. A full explanation of our loot policy is here. If you have any questions please contact me. Here are some guidelines for our guild. 1. If you are not 80, are you willing to put forth the time prior to your application period to get 80 while still raiding at our scheduled events? If you are 80, are you willing to work on AA and attend our raid events? To reduce agro radius and a myriad of other reasons, we request all aspiring applicants work on getting to lvl 80 before working on AAs. You will not be a candidate for membership before reaching level 80. This restriction may be waived from time to time given needed class demands. 2. Are you a person that can maturely deal with frustration, without rants or temper tantrums? 3. Do you have patience to deal with the fact that everything in Everquest is gained by hard work and nothing will just fall in your lap? 4. Mandatory Requirements for all classes: *Permanent EB (Enduring Breath) item. This does not mean an item with a "clicky" EB. You may get this through AA's, worn items, or tribute. *Self Shrink - either by spell, illusion, potion or item *Self Invis - either by spell, ability, potion or item *Self Gate - either by spell, ability, potion or item *Simultaneous unbuffed resists of 250 for all resists. *Maximum Run Speed AA's (for most classes this is Run 5) *You MUST have the means to do the above. Do NOT expect others to do it for you. 5. Please see the list below for current level and other requirements. We are always looking for great players so if you don't meet the requirements below, you can still put in an application. The recruiting officer will talk with you about your application and what can, if anything, be done for you to become a member. 6. We do not require all new applicants to have all currently available expansions; however, it is recommended and you may not be able to attend some raids without them. 7. You are required to make a Magelo profile and link this profile in your application. Your application may be denied if no Magelo address is included. You are also expected to update this profile as you improve your skills and your gear. If you do not know how to make a magelo profile, see this useful guide. 8. Are you willing to raid? Make no mistake this IS a raiding guild and as such raiding Monday through Thursday is required if you are on. Contact an officer in game for the channel we use for guild members and applicants to communicate with one another. As an applicant, it is your responsibility to enter and stay in the channel. This channel was setup to provide applicants with a friendly atmosphere where they can meet and chat with guild members, ask questions about our guild, receive info about raids or planned special occasions, get in guild groups so members can get to know you better, and most importantly to arrange for a guild tag and/or check on your application status IT is YOUR responsibility to follow up on your app, etc. If you do NOT join the channel and ask an officer about your tag/app within one week of applying your application will be deleted. The Recruiting Officers of Shards of Time - Deurgeran and Meagul, as approved by the GL, have the final say on whether to tag you as a probationary member. Once tagged as a probationary member you are required to raid at LEAST twice a week for up to one entire month to become a full member (members consider raid attendance while voting). You are also required to familiarize yourself with all guild policies. At the recruiting officer's discretion, at some point or at the end of your probationary period (typically 3-4 weeks) members will vote on whether to invite you to become a full member. The vote will be open for a period of 3 days, 5 yes votes will cancel one no vote, if at the end of that time you have 5 no votes you will be NOT be voted in as a full member and will be removed from the guild. Otherwise, you will become a full member and you will receive all the benefits associated with it (full webpage and forum access, ability to spend DKP as normal, vote on other recruits, etc). If a recruit's raid percentage is less than 50%, without an officer being informed of extenuating circumstances, by day 30 of their application period, the application will be automatically denied; members will not vote on the application. If you wish to contact us, feel free to send an in game email or PM on these boards to Deurgeran, Meagul, or any other officer. Thank you for your interest in our guild, below are the requirements. If you do not meet the current requirements we encourage you to get in touch with a recruitment officer (Deurgeran or Meagul) and tell him you are intersted in SoT and are currently working on your gear/lvl/aa's to meet our requirements. If your selected class is closed, please check with us at another time because we are always updating recruiting and requirements to better further the guild. If you do apply you must have high raid attendance and meet all Level, AA, Flag, and equipment requirements. Please feel free to apply and your application will be based on your own merits. Casting classes (Casters, Priests, and Hybrids) are required to have all of their DoDh spells. In addition to this, Priests are required to have finished their Pure Blood quest. Shards of Time raids Citadel of Anguish, which is a keyed zone. In order to get this key, you as an individual will need to obtain the 7 signets from various OOW zones. While this is NOT REQUIRED before you apply, it will increase your chances of making it into the guild as you will be able to attend more of our raids. Shards of Time also raids Demi Plane of Blood, therefore, having your DreadSpire Key, and prefeably a Dinner Invite, is a huge plus for your application. While we prefer that you have it beforehand, you have until the end of your application period to complete it. If you really want other Legacy flags (such as Tacvi, MPG Trials, or The Plane of Time), we encourage recruits to attend open raids for any key/flag they are missing but would like to get. We do not backflag for these zones as we no longer actively raid them. Please be very thorough with your application. The guild is very important to its members. As such, we take the recruitment process very seriously and like to have as much information about our applicants as possible. If taking 5 minutes to completely fill out the application is a waste of your time, chances are, we are not the guild for you. We DO NOT accept package deals. Each applicant will be evaluated based on their own merits and not the performance or consideration of other applicants. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
