For players who enjoy voice chat, Freelance Discord server is available. Not everyone is comfortable with voice chat, and it is for this reason Discord is optional for Freelance raids.

Item Distribution Overview
Freelance distributes items based on DKP and Raid Attendance (RA%).
Each player's current DKP holdings up to 1000 is multiplied by their RA% resulting in Effective DKP.
During raids, players can only use their Effective DKP to purchase items. Item purchases from that night and any previous raid nights for the month are subtracted in real-time from a player's Effective DKP only.
Players opt-in on items they are interested in. Winners are determined by highest current Effective DKP. Ties resolved via /random 1000, highest wins.
Each "Real Life" person is allowed to opt-in for an unlimited number of items. The only restriction is that for equipment, the person must be able to equip/activate the item.
Following the above processes, any remaining items are placed in the FFA pool to be distributed only when announced in /raidsay. FFA items are associated with their standard base cost by category, as indicated in the Item Base Costs (IBC) table below. Anyone can loot FFA items.
