Roll Priority Tiers

There are THREE (3) roll tiers for items. Prio A (highest performing, top 10% within class), Prio B (all others), Prio C (newest members). Members within each roll tier will /roll for gear once they are a core raider.

For weapons, rings, and trinkets, a raider must be a core raider for atleast 3 months before they are eligible to be in Prio A.

Example Loot Sheet View

Every item in the game is on our master loot sheet. See screenshot below to get a glimpse of our organization and stability.

Loot based on pure performance and data

With the use of our tool and warcraft logs, we determine who should be in the TOP/highest roll prio.Our tool analysis rotations, ability usage, and mechanics to score a player, irrespective of their gear. This is the ultimate test of skill.

After every raid, the analytics are available. Every TWO (2) weeks, we update the loot sheet to reflect increase or decrease in player performance.

Weapons / Rings / Trinkets

To prevent gear stacking on low drop rate / high ticket items we use a system that distributes these fairly for members. This applies to weapons, rings, and trinkets.

Raiders who do not have raid pieces in these slots will get priority over those who already do.

Raiders who have farmed at least 1 pre-bis in these slots will have the highest priority.

Raiders who have not farmed any pre-bis in these slots will have the lowest priority.

Raider’s with 0 raid items in that slot have highest priority (1 of 2 must be pre-bis)

Raider’s with 1 raid item have next priority

Raider’s with 2 raid items in that slot have lowest priority (since the upgrade will be mostly a side grade)

Essentially we want the rings/weps/trinkets to be evenly distributed amongst the core raid group rather than stacking on one person AND reward people who put in the time to farm their pre-bis.

Performance based looting still applies — which means regardless of how many items the raider has in that slot, if there is a significant difference in performance (50%+) then the item will go to the higher performing raider, if all other criteria are the same.

Weapon Lock In

There is a weapon of choice lock-in period that excludes a raider from rolling on the alternative until all core raiders have it.

Sword vs. Dagger

An example is Sword Rogue vs. Dagger Rogue. If a Rogue chooses to go Swords, they will have priority on all Sword drops and it will exclude them from being allowed to roll on Daggers until all Dagger Rogue’s have them.

The same applies for Dagger rogues, they will not be allowed to roll on Swords until all Sword rogues have received them.

Main Hand & Offhand vs. Two Hander

An example is if a Mage decides to go the Mageblade + Offhand route, it will exclude them from rolling on Two Handed weps, until all other raiders have the 2Handed weapon. The reverse is the same, if a Mage goes 2 Handed, they will not be allowed to roll on Main Hand + Off Hand items until everyone has them.

Other Slots

For all other slots, priority is binary. If that item is in a pre-bis list for current raid spec, (1-4 TOP items), then all of those members are the same priority. If the current item is not on any pre-bis list then that raider will have the lowest priority.

Luck

THIS LOOT COUNCIL DOES NOT AWARD INDIVIDUAL LOOT.

When all things equal (mostly are for the core raiders), loot is distributed via a simple /roll. On a lucky night, a single raider may win all their rolls, and we do not limit them in anyway from being lucky. It’s up to the raider to pass to another raider if they would like to.

Acquiring Loot

When a piece of gear drops, it will be linked one at a time to distribute.

The weekly raiding schedule depends on if we are on farm content or progression content, sometimes holidays, world events, and other circumstances. Always check discord for the specific weekly raiding schedule.

All raids occur during core raid time(s).

Cryo and Friend’s is focused on raiding efficiently and gearing its members. Speed runs and time are a byproduct of our skill. We are not a “speed runner” guild, even though our clear times are comparable to those types of guilds. The guild’s primary focus is to reduce over-all time and execute content smoothly. Often times, that leads to very fast clear times.

A level 60 alt is required for our split raiding, where the player swaps between alt+main to faster gear their mains. We raid farm content 2x a week, one with mains+alts, and then again with the opposite alts+mains.

Phase 4 Farm Content Schedule

Phase 5 Progression Content Schedule

Alts are required for split raiding. New trials should use non-raid downtime to level an alt that would be useful for the guild. Mage boosts, dungeon run throughs are available on request.
