Crystaline Codex Guild Policies

ITEMS
  Upon acquiring an item of player value, offer at cost or reduced cost to fellow guild members.  If no online guild members desire the item, the item is open to do as you see fit.  Upon multiple members requesting to purchase the item, members of your own shard should receive priority.

CORPSE RETRIEVALS
  Members of course receive priority on corpse retrievals, all items will be returned to the member requesting help.  Ensure you write down how much money you get from the corpse when looting.  It is up to you if you would like to charge non-members for corpse retrievals, but member corpse retrievals shall remain free.  At any point if a member is not returning items or coins from a corpse retrieval to the owner of the corpse that member will immediately be expulsed from the guild, shunned and outcast.

CALLS FOR HELP
  Members who call for help receive priority.  Help non-members with corpse retrievals, basic information grouping if convenient and possible.  Monetary help for non-members is based on your discretion, however this is not recommended.

KILL STEALING
  Crystaline Codex does not kill steal.  If someone kill steals you, enact the appropriate measures if you so wish.  This can include revenge, and if revenge is enacted, it is done on a single incident basis.  Call out to the guild to have close members join you in discouraging kill stealers.  Ensure that someone did purposefully kill steal, and was doing more then trying to help what they though was a player in need.

GROUPING RULES
  The typical rules of group combat within Crystaline Codex are listed below.   These rules have been tested and implemented by the High Council to ensure that all members are aware and do not need to be reviewed each time you join a Crystaline Codex group.

• Always Alpha Loot Corpses
  ( Begin with the player A and work your way to Z to collect loot)
• Always Alpha Loot special items
  (Rare Drop Items again start with Player A and work your way to Z on special items)
  (EG: Runed Totem Staff, Minotaur Axes, Dragoon Dirks etc.....)
• To minimize player deaths, we have found that you should back out of battle once you have lost 40% of your health.
  (Two Bubbles gone, Three Bubbles left)
  Monsters have a habit of  picking on a single player once they drop below 2.5 to 2 bubbles, which can turn out to be deadly.
• If you are a spell caster, in a tough fight, help the tanks, pull some damage if you are out of  Mana.  Get physical. It will do you good to get a scar or two, and quite possibly save the party from demise.
• Healers, try not to use more then half your mana on offensive spells.  You heal, that's what you do best.  Stick with it, you still get experience in a party for just healing based on how many HP you heal.  Let the cannons do the offensive stuff.  Don't get involved in a fight unless absolutely necessary or are out of mana.
