If you get the DKP no matter how well you do some people don't care to try their best with enchants/consumables. This happened when my guild did hourly dkp in MC/BWL days. <BR/><BR/>You should include bonuses for first time kills and subsequently all boss kills. So while you might spend 4 nights raiding you'll get a nice bonus if you take down 4 bosses instead of 2. <BR/><BR/>When you think of it DKP is a lot like a pay cheque. You can pay them for time pluggnig away or for actual achievements.Pyroshenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00165273803165536812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447696515875518406.post-63110276790326884302008-12-02T09:24:00.000-05:002008-12-02T09:24:00.000-05:00You will encounter Son's of Hodir while questing y...You will encounter Son's of Hodir while questing your way at Storm Peaks. <BR/><BR/>Pretty good questline imo.<BR/><BR/>You get a rare shoulder enchants from them at honored which is the same as the one you get from exalted with aldor/scryers. The better version though is at exalted.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01955589139242446546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447696515875518406.post-13397443453345929162008-12-01T12:24:00.000-05:002008-12-01T12:24:00.000-05:00What is this "Sons of Hodir" faction you speak of?...What is this "Sons of Hodir" faction you speak of? And why does it suddenly seem so important?<BR/><BR/>I just dinged 74 last night. I'm not exactly breaking any records here, but with the holiday season in full swing, I've got a lot of other things besides Warcraft on my mind. <BR/><BR/>Funny thing is, I started questing in Howling Fjord, and haven't really left yet. I do some of the walrus-dude dailies for rep (I love fishing... want the pole), but I would say 80% of my XP so far has come from instance running. <BR/><BR/>Gratz on 80!Franklinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18075092999168430214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447696515875518406.post-70159916672907335262008-12-01T11:37:00.000-05:002008-12-01T11:37:00.000-05:00Not sure if its cause of our guilds gear level or ...Not sure if its cause of our guilds gear level or what. But one thing you might want to keep an eye on concerning dkp is people passing on loot. Seems like Naxx doesnt offer up nearly the upgrades for some classes as they do tanks and such other than tier pieces. We've had so much stuff being sharded and its only our second week in.<BR/><BR/>And the Sons of Hodir rep gets pretty easy going when you hit honored. More quests open up. One really cool one gives 500 rep a turn in I believe.Pharcyde82https://www.blogger.com/profile/07622502954770275045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447696515875518406.post-71291478614486045882008-12-01T11:24:00.000-05:002008-12-01T11:24:00.000-05:00Gratz on 80!Yeah I really didn't change that much ...Gratz on 80!<BR/><BR/>Yeah I really didn't change that much gear when I hit 80 cause of the sockets. Heck even green gems are awesome.<BR/><BR/>You are right on the dps =). A fight can only go so long before the healer goes OOM, enrage timer is up, or someone just messes up cause of the prolonged fight.<BR/><BR/>A minimum of at least 2k dps is recommended raid buffed(this is with sunwell/blue lvl 80 gear), some classes can get to 4-5k dps easily. Anything less than that ... well the tank will pass you up how about that =P. I'm proud of our dpsers, maily because they do their homework and min/max as much as they can seeing how competitive DPS spots are. <BR/><BR/>I've slacked on Son's of Hodir rep. I'm just about to hit honored today if not tomorrow.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01955589139242446546noreply@blogger.com
