Crafting Raid Rules

This is to clear up any confusion out there.  We do run both sides of the family on those so make sure your pvp is turned off.  There is to be no aoe's, no pets unless the raid leader says otherwise.

All drops such as the dust, and potions are greed only.  Only roll need on an item that you would use within 5 levels.

Always slow dps as we do not restrict the level of guildies on these runs and we look out for the lower level people in the guild.  We need to make sure they get some hits in in order to get mats also.  It only takes one hit per round to get mats.  Snares; debuffs and squirrels work along with healing.

If you do not like or cannot follow these rules either do not come or you will be removed from the crafting raid.

Vent is always useful as we run both sides jointly and its a way to communicate.

Hear hear Jexia!! Them b the rules of crifting. Not everyone has a lvl 50 crafter so the lowbies need their hits. This is the way crifting has been since the beginning.

Also, just to make sure everyone knows the expectation. You will only be bannered out the first time.. and if you switch characters. If you have a bunch of other things you need to do in game, either way for the next banner to be dropped for others.. or ride back out.

1> Be prepared. Have what you need get the alts out to where you need them. 2> Listen to the leaders rules If they ask you to do it you do it. Family Runs have set rules that need to be followed. Our leaders strive to have all our of people walk away with crafting materials. 3> Main thing is Have fun and share

I'd like to add that crafting rifts haven't evolved with our gear and PA enhancements that they go down so fast. Here's a couple tips I'd like to add. No buffs on yourself. Unless of course your a lower level then buff away! And for me, at least bring a lower level bow for lower DPS. I crit almost every hit and sometimes I'll shoot one off for over 4k w/o buffs or anything. I've also removed my planar focus when I don't have a lower level bow. These are just somethings I do to help keep my dps down. Kittara

If you are having trouble keeping your DPS low during Crifting, the following list may be helpful. I went through the souls for each class and tried to find abilites that would cause no damage. Cleric: • Cabalist: Grasping Waters, Sigil of Binding, Sigil of Woe, Sigil of Secrecy, Sigil of Ruin • Druid: (heal), Slumber, Grim Silence • Inquisitor: Impede, Purge, Trepidation, Bewilder • Justicar: (heal), Humility, Interdict • Purifier: (heal) • Sentinel: (heal), Quietus • Shaman: Bitter Wind • Warden: (heal) Mage: • Archon: Ashen Defense, Crumbling Resistance, Flowing Sand • Chloromancer: (heal), Radiant Spores, Blight • Dominator: Transmogrify, Accelerated Decay, Void Shroud, Grasping Void, Mass Exhaustion, Arresting Presence • Elementalist: Encase, Icy Gale • Necromancer: Looming Demise, Death’s Grasp, Consumption • Pyromancer: Burn, Flashfire, Lockdown, Burning Bonds • Stormcaller: Wind Chill • Warlock: Fear, Wither, Choke, Mass Fear Rogue: • Assassin: Incapacitate, Poison Gas, Foul Play • Bard: (heal), Verse of Captivation, Verse of Fascinaton • Bladedancer: Weapon Barrage, Mass Subdue, Disengage • Marksman: Deaden, Eradicate • Nightblade: Lost Hope, Dark Containment • Ranger: Pin Down • Riftstalker: Planar Disruption • Saboteur: (charges w/o detonate), Adhesive Bomb, Choking Gas Bomb, Debilitating Trap Warrior: • Beastmaster: Calming Influence • Champion: Mark of Inevitability, Bash, Battlefield Intimidation • Paladin: Face Slam, • Paragon: Flinching Strike, Wrist Strike, Touch of Tranquility • Reaver: Weakening Essence, Shadow of Dread • Riftblade: Freeze Armor • Void Knight: Furious Rage, Disrupt, Soul Pillage, Shock Burst, Spell Sunder, Power Sink • Warlord: Cutting Distraction, Weapon Blow

My suggestion is to totally stop doing anything but healing lowbies in trouble or buffing them once the money sack in the circular icon goes from gray to gold/yellow. Once that happens it doesn't matter what you do after that, you still get enough cool loots. Also, if you are a 50, ONE hit per round until the bag lights up. If you can heal or debuff the mob, go with that instead, you get credit that way, too. And ALWAYS follow the rules and directions given by the leaders running the crifting event. And I've never seen the crew not have fun with each other even on the days that are trying! Most times the 'trying' days are due to outsiders of many persuasions and oddities. ;)

I blame Thoel. Nuff said. -grins-
