Merino/Yeyi

Edit: we were on 3 raids, Balam got an Arti, Arcoiris didn't as encounter was always down.

I think Kes knows from the screenies mails we exchanged, but just in case, I wanna point out that Yeyi has been owed an arti since we started the hunts. He was in the initial random winners and never got it because Braggarts was never up.

Aye, one arti I checked last night. Looks to be farmed over and over until the farmers will realise they cannot sell the arti as no one ever gets the credit for it anymore.

Looks someone farming it purely for greed.

I got the screenshots and will work through them tonight and post list who is where in the list and making a plan for tomorrow.

The way it works is that after a minimum number of attendances (and successful raid of the artifact for the ones in front of the queue) I will ask who has taken part for that many occasions.
Doesn't matter with which character a player attends.

When your lucky day arrives you can then tell which artifact you want and the whole raid will try and make it for you - which normally works all the time.
Unless the encounter is down.

As it goes, commonly asked for artifacts will have a longer queue than unusual ones.

It really works on the numbers. Some encounters are hard to do with only a few people - that where the raid thought comes in. With numbers we are able to make it possible - but it takes longer due to the queue system.

Only things rolled for will be special scrolls (loot level will be 35 for this reason) and 99%/MP qua drops.

The mob drops some high utility ring, that's why it's being farmed. The Bow is sold at 30g. Anyway, don't need the bow anymore so no worries about Braggarts. I'd like to come anyway, with druid Seneca. And thx Peat, for confirming.

have to be hard to say as you never really know when the servers get up again, I would belive it will all depend on when the servers get back up ;D

And still think that it will be hard running it right after cluster as the raid will probably lack many of the peeps that signed up ;<

If servers are up I will definitely try and run the raid - whether we can do the artis asked for is a different matter. If not enough people attend then we will be forced to do other artis first.

On the list for tomorrow are definitely:
Seneca
Yurianos Zo'arkat
Ambroz Battler
Domo Erinys

Lots of people want BoZ so that will be a weekly thing.

Going forward I will run an attendance log (log file) to see who takes part - this is done twice during the raid so if you join later there will be like a half credit.
If different toons are played it would be nice for me to know so I can track attendance accurately.
