WHAT IS EPGP?

The Vagrants uses a DKP-based loot system called EPGP.

You acquire Effort Points raid attendance on time, time in raid, & boss kills.

You acquire Gear Points when you win an item or withdraw one from the Guild Bank. GP is calculated based on the item level, grade, and the equipment slot.

A little math (EP/GP) gives you a number that indicates how often you have won something in relation to how much effort you put in - a Priority Rating (PR)!

Then there is a decay on these values, to stop them growing too high. This prevents raiders with extended absences from maintaining an unfair advantage over more recent raiders

So basically it's all about ratios of attendance and wins - with slight bias towards people who have raided a fair few times but have not won anything yet.

THE VAGRANTS EPGP

First off, download the EPGP add-on here: http://code.google.com/p/epgp/downloads/list

New members start at 0 EP & 100 GP. Effort Points signal the effort members put towards guild goals and Gear Points signal what members got back in return. Loot Priority (PR) is equal to EP/GP.

The base EP required for standard loot priority is set at 1500 - this base would be exceeded during your fourth full raid, which includes being on-time. Prior to reaching this cap you will have "low priority" on loot. However, if you are not at the base EP cap but all players with a higher priority pass on an item, your PR (and the PR of any others who are not at the base EP cap) will then be taken into account for loot distribution.

You can see your current points by installing the EPGP addon itself and when in-game, you type /epgp during a raid and it will list your standing, sorted by PR, unless you have not reached the 1500 EP minimum yet, which will cause your name to be grayed out.

Loot priority still applies as Mains Specs > Initiate Main Specs > Off Specs > Initiate Off Specs > Alts. In Official guild runs the GP per item is calculated according to the EPGP system. If you would like an item for Off Spec, you will only pay 5 GP, regardless of the equipment slot.

NOTE: In current 10-Man raids and Vault of Archavon guild runs, the loot system changes to /roll.
