This guild was Created by Combining the two most successful raiding guilds ever made on this server. We have put together a roster of people of the highest caliber, not only are they skilled players they are good people to spend your time with. The rules of this guild are there for the "guilds" protection. The officers of this guild will ensure that the "guild" always comes first. Each and every member of Pantheon is just as important as the next, but this guild as a whole is the most important thing we have. I urge you to make this place your home, make our members your online family/friends. Take some pride in Pantheon, put some time into Pantheon, put the guild's needs above your own, and I promise you if you do these things this guild will be that much more rewarding for each and every player.


Guild Rules:

1) Guild Reputation: Each and everyone of us are a part of Pantheon. I will never allow a single member to disrespect or bring down the name of this guild. If you choose to use the server forums (I don't recommend it) know that you are making a post that includes our guild name. If you choose to act a fool on those forums you will find yourself homeless very quick. The general channels /s /y /trade /group.. these channels also broadcast server wide and if you choose to use them keep your comments clean and respectful to the server. Abusing these channels with inappropriate comments is another fast tack out of the guild. This guild's reputation is the most important tool we have in recruiting and many other aspects on this server.

2) Respect: Respect your guild mates! Not everyone is always going to get along, but you still need to respect their opinion and what they bring to our guild. If you have a problem that cannot be solved by yourself bring it to a guild officer and it will be solved for you.

3) Guild Chat: This is a place for you to chat with your fellow guild mates. It should be an environment where you are free to just joke around and have fun. Cussing, rude comments, racial comments, sexist comments are not appropriate use of the channel. Keep it clean and enjoy yourself.

4) Raid Chat: This chat is about business. If you have something relevant to the raid please use this channel for that. Keep the general chatter here to a minimum.

5) Ventrilo: When you are in a channel with your friends/family feel free to use this service and say and act however you choose. If anyone tells you your comments are unacceptable you need to either stop those comments or move channels. Do not hang out in the lounge if you wish to discuss inappropriate subjects, move to a more secure channel.

6) Raid Ventrilo: When you are in a raid all comments will be clean and respectfully of the different personalities we have within the guild. A "slip" of the tongue will happen to all of us from time to time, but if you make it a habit there will be actions taken against you. Simply you will be muted, muted for extended periods of time, and possibly lose your vent privileges all together. General chatter and joking around is not only acceptable but encouraged during down times, however when the raid leader is giving out assignments, asks for your attention, or is explaining fights vent is to be clear. If you have a question wait until he has finished with his directions and then speak up.

7) Roleplay: We are on an RP server. You may not RP but you will respect those that do. Anyone caught harassing, or in general being openly rude to the role players on this server will be talked to and in most cases simply removed from the guild.

8) Enjoy: People tend to take this game a tad too serious at times. I urge you too relax and have fun. If your at the breaking point take a night off and relax outside of the game. We are trying to overcome difficult challenges and times things will get frustrating. Make sure you aren't stressing yourself out.

9) Forums: Forum rules are just like guild rules, when you're on here you're representing yourself and the guild. Just make sure to follow them or your post can be moderated...

10) THERE IS NO CRYING IN PANTHEON !

Bank Rules:

1. You can use 200g (Myrmidons) or 150g (Warders) in repairs for being in the raid. Do not use this money if you didn't raid that day, it's not welfare.
2. Do not under any circumstances, except Kyrva, sell any gbank materials that you received on any auction house or to any player. They're for your use only. Not so you can fill your pockets with money.
3. All enchanting mats are for your PvE use only. Offspec's for hybrid specs can also access mats. PvP, non PvE offspecs, and Alts do not have access to gbank enchanting mats. (Can change at any point on Shaorin's call)
4. All other gbank materials are accessible by anyone for prefered PvE use. That is to say we trust you won't take out 100 Indestructible potions to pvp with. :P If you have any questions on something then ask either Shaorin or any of the other officers.
5. Use the bank wisely, don't put junk in there or remove too many things.

(More rules can be added at a later time - Shaorin)

Guild Ranks:

Lemming: This rank will change a lot, maybe turdburgler one week, maybe cookie monster the next. Be sure to see Kaj here. This rank can read all member forums.

Alt: Choose this alt wisely so that if you do wish to play an alt we can find you for the bench. Allowed to raid lower level content. Alts will be allowed to roll and win any item while being in a raid. Alts will not win any item over a main character. No mater what rank another player holds if it is his/her main character alts will not win a roll against that main. This rank can read all member forums.

Trial: New recruits to Pantheon. You could spend as little as a week or as long as a few months as a trial member. There is no set timetable for trial members applying to pantheon. Once the officers feel comfortable with you as a member of this guild you will be promoted. To better help you gauge it will take several raids and a few other things to get the bump to the next level in pantheon. This rank can read all member forums.

Hoplite: Very casual members who barely or don't raid. These members are players who will most likely never raid, but have raided in the past or show promise that they'll eventually raid with us sometime in the future. Casuals who only desire to raid once in a blue moon will also hold this rank. Friends and family members will hold this rank. These members can be called in for raids. This rank can read all member forums.

Warder: Casual players and Overstocked classes. Trials being promoted will start here. This rank will be held by those members who have been accepted for outside the normal recruiting reasons as well. If your in pantheon your a raider first, and members of this rank can still be called on if online to fill in for raids. Be ready at all times to help your guild progress. This rank can read all member forums.

Myrmidon: The core of Pantheon. Our raiders! These are the members that are expected to put their blood, sweat, and tears into pantheon's raiding efforts. This rank is not to be taken lightly. If you constantly under perform or come unprepared to raids you will be at the very least demoted. Myrmidons are expected to play at the highest level no mater if it is trash or learning a new boss. If you wish to attain this rank and hold it, you better be on top of your game. This rank can read all member forums.

Alerion-Knight: Your officers...They should be able to answer any of your questions about raiding. If they can't... then they aren't doing their job. Find me and I will find some new officers. They will handle admin items from time to time, but their main job is to deal with raiding. This rank can read all member forums, The Application Vault, Guardian Lounge and Officer Lounge.

Alerion-Knight: Tubs, Nabashin, Kyrva, Merklyn, Starroxia

Lord / Guild Master: Is in every aspect of the guild. Will handle recruiting, player relations, guild relations, raiding, and administration. If you have an issue that is not raid related you should come to the GM. If you have an issue that is raid related you should come to the GM. I will remove players not living up to the pantheon tag. This is a game and I want to have fun and be nice to everyone I can. I do have a mean side, please follow our rules and don't make me remove you for disciplinary reason. It is also required that you can't spell or use grammars... deal with it. This rank can read all member forums, The Application Vault, Guardian Lounge and Officer Lounge.

We usually raid 6 days of week, and Saturdays we take off. However 10 mans tend to go on Saturday so you could almost say we raid 7 days a week. It varies from week to week though on Saturday based on who we have on and who wants to go were. Don't over burden yourself with raiding seven days a week however, we have plenty of members to fill in the raids and we don't want anyone getting burnt out. It's important that when you sign up, you be there.

DKP Information:

DKP Manager: Kyrva
DKP Helpers: Shaorin

This DKP system is a bit different from what you are used to, so I'll spell it all out for you. It still remains the same as always that whoever has the most dkp will win the item, however item costs are no longer going to be static values. Instead, whenever you take an item, it is going to cost a percentage of your dkp. This creates a balanced system where it is not possible for anyone to get excessively high dkp, nor is it possible for anyone to go so far down they are stuck there forever. All players start with 30 dkp so that there is an initial amount to spend, this is so no items are free when trials are added etc.

DKP Awards:
Boss Learning: 6 dkp per hour
Trial of the Grand Crusader: 6 dkp
Trial of the Crusader: 3 dkp
Ulduar: 2 dkp
Obsidian Sanctum / Malygos: 4 dkp

Item Costs:
Legendary Weapons: 75% If one drop / 50% For First and Last Fragment
258 ilvl: 60%
245 ilvl: 40%
239 ilvl: 30%
226 ilvl: 20%
Offspec Quality / Sidegrades: 10%
Items Below T8 Quality: FREE

Additional Notes:
All item costs will be rounded UP. Items are handed out first, then dkp for the boss is added. So item values for a boss will not include dkp obtained from that boss. There will also be bench dkp, for information on that keep reading.

Examples:
I'm sure at least some of you are confused... so I'll give you an example:
Lets say I have 90 dkp and I win T7 glove token which is say 50% dkp. 90/2=45, I am charged 45 and now have 45 dkp, +4 for boss kill = 49...
Later a weapon say costs 33% drops which I also happen to win, 49/3 = 17 (rounded up), I am charged 17 and now have 32 dkp, +4 for boss kill = 36...
And an even more ridiculous scenario I also win a non-tier headpiece for say 25% on that same night, 36/4 = 9, charged 9 so I now have 27 dkp, +4 for boss kill = 31...

Obviously winning 3 pieces in 1 night is a little absurd, but this shows you how things are going to work.

About This System:
There will be times I ask each and everyone of you your opinions on certain issues, this however is not one of those times. I am not asking you to like this system, I am not asking you to love this system, I am however asking you to learn and understand this system. If you find a "flaw" in this system please bring it to the officers. If you just have a "personal" gripe about it, well this is one of those few times your just out of luck. Read this over, and understand it. If you have any questions please bring them to Shaorin or Kyrva. Kylessa is sort of a helper, that fills in when Ryva cannot be at the raid, but they should be able to answer any DKP questions you have. If for some reason Kyrva and Kylessa are not at a raid, Shaorin can step in to help dkp.

Bench Information:

Bench Manager: Kyrva
Bench Helper: Shaorin, Merklyn, Starroxia, Nabashin

Pantheon Bloodline has a bench. This means if you are online and not in the raid, it's possible to still obtain DKP from the raid. However there's some rules to this, and some things you'll need to know. Bottom line, bench DKP is our way of giving something back when we ask you to sit out the actual content of the raid. Don't abuse the system to get yourself 6 DKP. Sign up if you really plan to go, if for some reason you can't sign up and we still ask you to ride the bench please inform us that you can't or just don't want too. Again bench is our way of trying to do something for you guys don't abuse it or we will go back to the old way of having no bench...

1.) DKP earned on bench will be 50% of what the raid earns. This is so those actually in the raid do end up getting more for putting in the actual work and those not approved can still get something for sticking around should we need them.

2.) In order to receive Bench you must be signed up BEFORE APPROVALS ARE DONE for that days raid. Signing up 10 min before the raid starts will not work.

3.) If signed up you must be either online with a toon we know and/or in vent and easily accessible should we need you to be eligible. That is to say you are welcome to be on alts or on your main doing dailies or something else if you want. As long as if we need you we can get to you quick and have you in quick then in general it will be considered alright. However telling us you can't go in because you just started a 5 man on x alt is a quick way to lose any bench you might have gotten that night and not receive anymore for the rest of the night. If you have a question on it ask Shaorin about it.

3a.) Coming in quick means you drop what you are doing and you either log on your main instantly or move yourself instantly to wherever we need you. Not "oh let me finish this quest real quick" or "Let me get to an inn a zone away" or "I'll be ready in 5 min when my hearths up". Your fellow members time is just as important as yours is so actions like these are looked at as wasting our time. Just like you don't want to be sitting there waiting on someone for 10 min, they don't want to sit there and wait 10 min for you to finish that quest. So please respect your time and ours should we ask you to come in.

4.) If Eligible bench checks are made after each boss fight to see who gets it and at random intervals for progression. This usually entails the person being asked to whisper someone to get credit for bench on a time limit. Example you have 1 minute to whisper for bench. Or if on vent, you have 1 minute to Page Shaorin for bench. This is so we know who is actually there should we need them and not who just wants to abuse it for the night.

5.) There is no limit to the number of days you can be on bench.

6.) If you don't wish to raid that night don't ask to be on the bench. The officers see you as being in the raid. If you don't see yourself as being in the raid that night we don't need you on the bench. If the officers don't see you as being in the raid we will let you know and discuss whether to keep you on bench or not for the remainder of the night. If you leave bench or somehow break a rule, you will receive no dkp from that point on.

7.) Repeated bench rule breaking may result in your denial of bench till further notice.
