Appraisal and Evaluation of Dragon Killer Points (DKP)

Appraisal and Evaluation of Dragon Killer Points (DKP)

Please the note that the set of regulations stated herein were in no shape or form designed to restrict or limit your entertainment and enjoyment in linkshell activities. The purpose of these rules and formalities is to establish an atmosphere most conducive to the satisfaction of our members.

On a second note, if you are looking for a hardcore end-game linkshell, you have come to the wrong place. Marvels was built around a social community and still operates as a social community but our members have always been willing to help each other in miscellaneous quests and journeys without expecting much in return. However, our community has grown and in order to maintain order, a Point System (DKP) was developed.

Lotting Rules:
  1. The minimum level requirement to cast lots on any item is Lv. 75.
  2. Members must have sufficient points before lotting on any piece of equipment or item.
  3. Preference will be given to members who already have jobs capable of wearing the piece of equipment at the time of lotting.
  4. The 'buyer' of an event will have exclusive lotting rights to only one item. All other items will be available for purchasing with points.

Point System (DKP):
  1. New members will begin with 25 points.
  2. Members will be awarded 5 points per full hour (i.e. leaving after 1 hour and 45 minutes will only award the member 5 points). Therefore, while any member that arrives late to an event may not be eligible to earn full point benefits, they will still be able to gain points by the hour.
  3. Members who arrive early and stay until the end of an event will earn 10 bonus points. If a member arrives early but is unable to stay until the end of the event, half bonus points may still be awarded as long as a valid reason is provided in advance before the event starts.
  4. Members will receive 5 points for every key item and 1 point per 25k Gil spent for every rare pop item in possession before the start of an event which requires killing notorious monsters that are spawned with either key items or rare pop items.
  5. Members will be deducted points based on the predetermined cost of any particular item upon casting and winning lots.
  6. For any non-ex loot that is lotted, point cost will be estimated at 1 point per 25k Gil based on the concurrent cost of the item.
  7. It is the responsibility of each member to keep track of their points as well as any adjustments made to it. Errors, albeit rarely, can be made to a member's cumulative points.
  8. Bonus points will be given not only to runs but normal everyday effort towards the linkshell. Helping out with events, members needs, forum activity, etc...

    9. Point Summary:
  9. 5p per full hour
  10. 10p for arriving early and staying until end of event
  11. 5p for every Key Item
  12. 1p per 25k Gil spent on every rare pop item
    13.
    Event Buyer:
  13. All Event Buyers will be limited to 3 hours of farming NMs. During this time, more than one NM can be farmed.
  14. Event Buyers are allowed to lock only one item per NM.
  15. Event Buyers are responsible for setting a date at least 3 days prior to an event.
  16. Event Buyers are responsible for doing their own homework and will be required to plan ahead for his/her own event. In other words, the Event Buyer is responsible for guiding other members through the event, anticipating all considerations for farming a specific NM, and making sure that their information is updated on /lsmes at least 3 days prior to the event.
  17. Event Buyers will have to wait a minimum of 14 days before being allowed to purchase another event.
  18. Event Buyers also have the option of choosing a particular atma instead or in addition to AF3 pieces within the confinement of their allotted 3 hours.
  19. Event Buyers will NOT be eligible for earning points during his/her own event.
  20. The Event Buyers of future events are decided upon winning a blind bid. Any member who wants to purchase an event and has met the minimum point cost for placing a blind bid will have to send a message to a designated linkshell sackholder with a point bid at the end of an event. The highest bidder will be granted the privilege to organize and lock one item per NM for the next event.
  21. Refer to Event Pricing below for the minimum point cost of placing a blind bid for any event.

    22. Event Pricing:
  22. Abyssea: 50p for low-difficulty events
  23. Abyssea: 75p for medium-difficulty events
  24. Abyssea: 100p for high-difficulty events
  25. Sky: Under Consideration
  26. Dynamis: Under Consideration
  27. HNM outside Abyssea: Under Consideration
    28.
    Note that at this point, all events are constricted to Abyssea. Future considerations may allow for the Event Buyer to purchase and plan an event for anywhere in Vana'diel.
