EJ POINT SYSTEM FOR MC

Patronus · 05/04/05, 11:47 AM

Basically my guild of about 60 lvl 60's is wanting to use this point system.

It seems a little tricky to learn at first but I think well get it.

Is there anyone who is willing to talk to me on TS... Vent.. or MSN/ICQ/AIM

that would be great.

also if possible i would like to get the database from EJ so we can just use that to put points to all the MC items.

thanks alot in advance!

For item values, just get with your guild and figure out what you think everything should be worth ahead of time.

What we value the items at might not be what you value the items at.

Also, I would reccomend figuring out what classes get priority on which items ahead of time, as I imagine that could get really messy to figure out when the item is sitting in the corpse in front of you

Ah thanks alot for the tips... ill be sure we decide on priority n such.

But it would be nice to have a databse to base ours off of... maybe we could get the EJ database and simply adjust it to our likings.

or even a spreadsheet or something with all the items already laid out.. could help alot in putting it together.

A tip: for the tier 1 and tier 2 items, set a value for all the sets to be worth. All of the tier 1 sets are worth the same total points, then balance the values internally around that. That ensures that no one is at a disadvantage for cross class items.

Our items right now range from 50 (really crap items) to 175 (amazing weapons). We don't really have a firm point system for any blue items.

We use a modified version of eqdkp. I can't find the link right now for it, but it's somewhere in forums.eqdkp.com.

Blues are given to someone who would actually use them. If no one needs, they're randomly given to someone in the raid group.

As mentioned in this thread, the important thing is to keep the system zero-sum. If someone gets points, someone else has to lose the same amount. Items are always purchased. If not, they get disenchanted. (This is where BoE purples are nice. Someone in the guild can buy them if no one in the raid wants them.)

OH GOD KAUBEL WHAT HAVE YOU DONE.

P.S.
Core Leather = 1 JP, Cores = 4 JP. If you want an item crafted you pay the JP value for the items, and then provide the rest of the materials yourself. Yes, this means the systems is not quite 0-sum at all times, but it's close enough.

Oh you.

Etheris · 05/05/05, 5:18 PM

yeah, i was actually somewhat curious as to how you guys keep your points updated?

Cause atm we're just using excel pull everyone aside that was in the raid, update the points, then sort the list again. I just was curious if the database you guys use was significantly easier and worth looking into, or shall we stick with out glorious excel method?

Even if you are using excel, you shouldnt need to pull anyone aside at any time.

We typically just take a screenshot of the raid group and keep a record of who gets what items, then after the raid is over, Gurgthock or whoever else can do it goes in and updates the standings.

With a screenshot you have evidence of who all was in the raid, so you know who to distribute the points to, and with 40 people there, I doubt there will ever be much contention on who got what drops. Just have a pen and paper nearby if thats easiest and write down after each boss who gets what

Steelfleece and I went on an UBRS raid and then the next day went on a drakes run.

Oh wait what's going on in this thread?

oh...
