We’ve formed from a small group of individual who used to lowman stuff in order to get gear pieces and whatnot. We parted our ways to join different linkshells in order to increase our potential as players and to get gear from areas which we couldn’t lowman due to difficulty. Since most of those linkshells are now dead or in the process of we decided to use our experience as players who have participated in the majority of Endgame events to form our own linksell in order to cover those aspects of the game that players and members enjoy.
We don’t consider ourselves as a big linkshell, in fact we pretend to keep our lowman costum to run the shell, meaning you won’t be seeing a linkshell with 48 members which most of them don’t have a constant attendance. We would like to have up to 25-30 constant members meaning that you as an individual will have the opportunity to get gear you want out of here.
We currently are looking for members who have experienced and know all endgame activities up to date or players who are willing to listen and are willing to learn about these activities.
Activities:
We don’t camp HNM at all, since we consider them a time consuming activity which yields almost nothing. To compensate this we have decided to do events which net the same gear, like Einherjar for example. Our events consist of Dynamis, Limbus, Einherjar (coming soon), KS99, ZNM, SCNM, BV2, VNM, sky, and sea: all forced pop NMs. All events will start at 10:30pm CST (11:30pm EST, 8:30pm PST).
We’ve started forming in mid March and been keeping a constant influx of members, constantly removing potentially dangerous persons who constantly skip events who think they can bitch about overlotting members who are steady and have a constant assistance, meaning drama in this shell will be nonexistent.
Recruitment – requirements:
We are currently looking for people with at least two 75 jobs. BLM, RDM, WHM or BRD are a must to join since we currently lack the jobs. If you don’t have these jobs you can still apply, but we will base your current jobs in order to accept you. People with the jobs listed before will almost always be accepted based on your reputation and whatnot.
You are required to have access to all endgame zones, meaning sea, Dynamis – Xarcabard and sky are a must. We as a linkshell don’t really like to farm pops since they are a time consuming activity, if you can farm pop sets we will use those to pop whatever you farmed so we can avoid a massive waste of time. You, of course, will be rewarded with points toward your total. This will only apply to sky and first tier Jailers, this rule doesn't apply to pops which cannot be bought. We expect that all pop items will be donated to the LS, although we want members to obtain gear we work as a group, not as individuals.
Bank and drops:
We as a linkshell sell everything that’s not rare/ex in order to pay for Dynamis glass, Kirin and Jailers pops, and Einherjar lamps. We try to keep a minimum of one million gil (1,000,000) so we don’t run out of money in the meantime, the rest being distributed between members who have at least 75% attendance, meaning constant members will have the benefit of a monthly payout.
All drops are distributed in a point-lotting system. You'll get points for attending events which will be used to exchange for items that drop in whatever we are currently at. Since we may see people abusing the system like not coming to certain events (Sky for example) and randomly pop on them to lot on items they haven't worked on, we will reserve the right to let people lot based on attendance.
We use a semi-wishlist based on jobs. We call Primary Jobs those jobs who you use the most and consider them your primary, hence the name. Main Jobs are those who you have at level 75 but don't use them that often or just don't consider them your primary. Whenever a piece of gear drops, priority will be given to members who set their primary jobs. If those with Primary Jobs don't call for an item, Main ones will be able to lot on it only if you have a job capable of wearing certain gear up to level 75 (not 74 with 1 exp TNL to 75) and points will be deducted from your total
If we call an item that no one is interested in, it will go free lot and you will be able to lot it whether you can wear it or not, points will also be deducted from your total.
If a member brings a pop set they are free to choose a piece of rare/ex gear or a split of money drops, being 50% to the member and 50% to the linkshell bank.
Active/Inactive:
In order to stay as an active member of our linkshell, you must have at least 35% assistance. If you don't meet this quota, you will be put on the inactive list. While on the inactive list, you would not be able to lot any items you really want except for free lot items. In order to become an active member again, you must attend 5 consecutive events. If you still aren’t showing to the events we will be forced to kick you out of the shell in order to recruit people who really are interested in the shell.
Thank you for taking the time to read this I hope it clears up all questions and concerns you might have as a potential applicant. Good luck and I hope to see you in the future.
