====== PUG'ing with Peace and Quiet ======

Whether you're reading this as a new PUG or you've found your way here having already joined us for some fun and games: welcome! We hope you had (or are about to have) a good time.

For the most part these are common sense rules. The axioms PQ is built upon are located in the [[introduction]], and all raid members regardless of guild are expected to bring their sense of humour and ensure their disposition is fully repaired.

===== Raid technical setup =====

  * The official raid channel (/ra) will be used for raiding. Explanation of tactics will take place over voice if everyone has access to it, otherwise they will be typed.
  * Voice, while not mandatory, is encouraged for ease during the raid.

===== Before raid invitations =====
  * If you've recently suffered a crash, please double check your game settings and test your voice communications.
  * Get repairs.
  * Check potion and other consumable supplies.
  * Ensure you've packed the correct gear (resist, alternate, etc).

===== Setting up and waiting around =====
  * Head over to the raid instance.
  * Start summoning people. We allow for a lot of dead time in the schedules, but it's better to be early than late!
  * Be patient! The raid organiser is probably busy.
  * Start buffing up where appropriate.

===== Looting =====
  * Loot distribution is set to "Group Loot" in all our raids at all times.
  * For BoP items:
    * A "Need" roll indicates a current role upgrade..
    * A "Greed" roll indicates an alternate role upgrade, or current role sidegrade.
  * BoE items follow the same rules as above; need if you need, otherwise greed.
