I did a quick search for atiesh and didn't see a subject so I thougth I would ask.


How is your guild managing Atiesh distrobution? Any special rules? Giving out splinters to whoever spends DKP?

Officer vote. I won! :toot:

To be more detailed, some discussion took place, it was decided that points are silly to use on legendaries and these are handled by officers voting instead, and that's about it. It's really not a normal piece of loot, though Atiesh is comparatively speaking not as 'rare' as the other Legendaries, it's still not close to being normal. Points were mostly decided as being silly because of this simple fact: "Who would you rather see it go to? That guy that's been hoarding points for a long time, or that guy who's been spending his points on doing his job best.", hence officer vote.

Loot Council Weighted on Lifetime earned DKP and attendance. He only missed one shard before he got 40.

Whenever a splinter drops its randomed for.

Better yet--whoever loots it first. Speed before need.

When it eventually dropped, we put all the people that were deemed eligible for Atiesh given lifetime attendance, performance, etc in a chat channel. Each person voted for 2 people within the group and were not allowed to vote for themselves. The person who received the most votes was awarded our first splinter. It ended up being a mage but we did not restrict any class from getting it.

Since then, 2 Atiesh-eligible members have quit and another went inactive. Neither of the quitters cited the Atiesh as a primary reason but the timing was fairly conspicuous. These had been 85%+ lifetime-raiders in the guild for over a year.

Orange text does funny things to a person I guess.

A second option we'd considered was playing Texas Hold'em for it. For some reason people preferred the officer vote option.

We /random 100 each splinter. Fair's fair!

The first one was a no brainer. Our guild has 1 GM, 2 Officers, then a bunch of Coucilors below us. The GM is a Rogue, I, another Rogue, am an Officer, the other Officer is a Warlock. He had 98% raid attendance, and the highest DKP. He took a very large DKP hit and started collecting the shards, and there was no disagreement by anyone. He missed 0 splinters. Around the time he had 32 splinters, we had a discussion. A Member ranked Priest was at the top of the DKP, wanted the staff. He had around 75% attendance, as he was often late to raids due to parents and/or class. A Councilor Priest also wanted the staff, and had 100% attendance, but he was a bit lower in the DKP. A Councilor Mage ALSO wanted the staff, and was between the two Priests in DKP, but he had a class that would cause him to be late by hours most of the time on raid days. He was also now sharing a dorm room with the Member Priest that wanted the staff.

In the end, the Member Priest doesn't play anymore, the Councilor Mage plays rarely, and the Councilor Priest hasn't missed a splinter yet.

I'm so confused.

You need somebody with the attendance to be there and collect every splinter.

I think a guild on our server went through 3 people before the 4th person was active enough to be in every raid and collect the splinters.

The 2 mages we've chosen thus far have been there, the first mage got all 40 in a row, the 2nd is 15 and counting.
