Communication

Freelance primarily uses in-game chat channels for communication. 

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.


In-Game Channels

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.

Keyword to Enter:ready


Flag & Key Requirements

* Minimum to be Piggy/85'/pushed into raid: No requirement


Brief Event Overview

Ashenback is boss.

Fire and Frost storms come into play during event.

Adds spawn throughout event.


Strategy

Load cold spells for this event.  Any level as long as it costs mana to cast.

Ashenback has both frontal and rear AE damage spells.  Raid position on wings.

Ashenback summons a firestorm at the start of event.  The firestorm paths around dropping a puddle of flames at 50s intervals.

Stay out of both the firestorm and puddle of flames to avoid Scorching Mana.  Achievement for staying out of puddle of flames.

At 65 percent health, Ashenback will summon a second firestorm and adds will begin to spawn from the puddle of flames.

Kill adds as they spawn.

Around 45 percent, the first firestorm will become unstable.  Use cold spells on the firestorm until it transforms to a frost storm.

Remove Ashenback's Laval Armor by moving into the frost storm.  Achievement for only removing Laval Armor with frost storms once eligible.

In addition, the frost storm kills any adds taken into the storm and removes any puddle of flames the storm passes over.

The frost storm is active for 1m 15s before transforming back to a Firestorm.


Tanks:
- MT face Ashenback away from raid to avoid frontal and rear AE's


Healers:
- Continuous splashing throughout event.


MA Kill Order: adds, Ashenback

Start Event

Event is triggered by keyword, speaking with Gwark and saying 'ready' or 'enraged'.

Gwark says, 'Such a proud and primal thing, the dragon. Even as, well, [damaged] as this one is, he's still magnificent.'

Gwark says, 'The destruction of the Plane of Magic damaged almost every creature living within it, and many outside too. The planes fractured slightly everywhere. We may never know to what extent. And with the mistress of this place gone, little can be done to fix it. Ashenback's mind was fractured as well. Never a kind creature, he is now much more aggressive and has been detrimental to any attempts to repair the harm done here. He has been attacking rescuers and victims alike. Perhaps it is the nature of the red dragon come to the fore, but who knows. If you could [subdue] him that would help greatly.'

Gwark says, 'If that is even possible, yes. I can't help you, of course. I'm not a combatant and I find it distasteful to harm beings like this. Let me know when you are [ready], or you can always deal with him when he is [enraged], if that suits your desires for some reason. Or I can assist you if you wish to [leave].'

Gwark says, 'Do your best.'
