Ok where do you want to go with this?
I had similar question from Zeil - as to why uilea was picked before him on wizzy epic.
He is the number 1 person requesting a complete my quest raid in the forum
http://www.tribalfury.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1887
but in the raid thread uilea is the only wizard that posts on the thread other than Ozzy --- and ozzy mentions that he will defer to any further along --- zeil however actually has it posted exactly where he is on the quests forum. According to the quest page zeil has 3 hits left where as Uilea was able to turn in and complete epic after that kill. So according to the tradition the closest to completion gets the drop - that worked out.
The bottom line is - it ain't easy. We don't have people signing up in quests forum for quest drops. There is a thread dedicated to WHERE are you in What quest. I will commit this to you - if I am raid leading and you 1) have your quest posted in that forum - you will be the top of the list for loot rights if you are furthest along on a quest. 2) no more than one loot per any quest will be DKPed unless there is a good example that comes up for a drop that should be special in that regards.
The goal is that no one should have to DKP for any quest drop unless there is more than 1 person at the exact same spot in the quest. when we were in chardok - I had no idea where either warrior on the raid was on the warrior weapon quest and asked - do you guys want to DKP or ran - they chose random and that is the way I did that one.
But if people don't use the quest page - and update their progress - what tools do we have to determine who DKPs, rans, or gets quest loots god looted to them?
4) Loot
a) DKP Raids: The Loot Officer has total authority over all Raid Loot as outlined in this policy, and is responsible for administering this policy.
b) Non-DKP Pick-up Raids: if a raid does not meet the requirements to be a DKP raid (see "Raid Definition above"), then the Raid Leader has total authority over Loot.
c) All guild raid loot is covered under this system.
d) God Loot will typically only occur if the raid's goals are to accomplish quest completion for designated characters. Sometimes, tempo of raid may require someone to be directed to loot X loot without a bid. This is a RARE occurance.
e) Quest Loots are typically DKP'd if it is a contested quest and then ussually only the hardest drop (rarest) will be DKP'd.
f) Single/limited-Class usable items: if only one character of that class is at the raid, single/limited-class usable items may be awarded for no points.
and yet there is a special section in our DKP rules addressing Quest and Eipic Quests.
6) Quest and Epic Quest Related Hits:
a) Epic and Quest drops are assigned before the raid occurs.
b) The raid to get the epic drop can use the RP system for all other loot as long as the guidelines for what determines a raid are met (see "Raid Definition" above). If those requirements are met, points will be awarded for the raid. If it is not a DKP raid (ie: no Officer present) then it is up to the Raid Leader to decide between random or assigned loot.
WHy X quest is different from Y quest just because one has a word EPIC in front of it is beyond me. Take for example the phyiactory will get you no where quest or the PoP artesian aid whoever quest - both of them are far more involved than any of the kunark epic quests - so why would a Kunark era quest drop get GOD looted but the key drop for philactory quest would be DKPd? I really don't know
In a perfect guild - any player that had a raid required quest would post it in the one thread where I asked all players to sign up and keep their progress current. If a player had to DKP for any quest drop - then in my opinion all subsequent drops towards that quest should be priority looted to that player if they are at the next raid that drops the next part of that quest. If they are not the next player that DKPd for or if is lucky enough to be the only other player at the raid needing that drop gets it.
For example with cop's drop from Fear - if he is with me next time I go to chardok I would drop the queen and have him loot the blade if he neeeded it since he has DKPd for the hardest drop in fear. If he isn't there but conan and jumjam and blood are there - I would let blood have it since he needed it and the other 2 had it. Likewise when we go up to sky in a week or so - to farm Isle 5 - Cop would be priority for Swingblade 1 and the remaining would go to whoever was further along based on the quest that they have dutfully posted their progress on in the link posted above. That is in a perfect world. At this time I dont even have a quest posted for myself - I will have to find a new one.
