Saronite Distribution
After some hard thinking, here is the distribution mechanic we will be using:
For the time being Primordial Saronite is simply too rare within ICC to allow a round-robin distribution like we've been having with Runed Orbs and Crusader Orbs. At best, we could perhaps do a distribution of 1 Saronite per person but then I would question whether or not the folks entering their names in the fray would really profit from the Saronite as much as others might.
Individual Distribution
- So, to make sure the Saronite goes to the folks who need/want it the most they will be auctioned off at the premium price of 10% DKP.
- The auction goes off at the start of every Thursday raid and a maximum of 3 Saronites will be given.
- The same normal auction rules apply, just like any other piece of loot.
- Folks who are being sat out are expected to be in attendance for the bid should they want a chance at obtaining the Saronite.
- If you are absent on Thursday for whatever reason, you lose your chance at bidding on Saronite for the week.
Pattern Distribution
All ICC patterns have a 1 Saronite cost associated to them. Since obtaining these patterns could benefit more than 1 player in the raid, the distribution of Saronite with the objective of purchasing a pattern will be free AND prioritized over individual distribution.
Any person wanting a pattern crafted (whether they can craft the item in question or not), can requisition a Saronite. The pattern in this case will be given to an appropriate raid crafter based on both a random roll and suitability [1].
- Only 1 Saronite per pattern will be given.
- If multiple crafters can learn a specific pattern, the end player obtaining the pattern will be chosen based on fairness, suitability and finally a dice roll.
- If too many Saronites are requisitioned for patterns, the distribution order will be determined by a subjective raid improvement analysis and a dice roll.
[1] Suitability meaning that I'm fairly confident the player won't up and leave in 2 weeks and take the pattern with them.
Here is what I need from you:
- Please let me know which ICC patterns can currently be crafted by members of the raid.
- Please let me know which ICC patterns you would like to requisition.
It is imperative that I obtain this information ASAP. The distribution of Saronite to individuals will be postponed until pattern requisitions have been handled.
