Explanation, questions and suggestions about the DKP system go here. DKP earned is listed on another thread marked DKP.
The DKP system helps with drops, rewarding folk who have been trying a long time to help in scheduled raids, and aiding people who roll badly (we know who we are).
Our bid system uses a pre-chosen amount of a person's collection of DKP rather than a straight 100 point /roll. (DKP means "Dragon Kill Points). DKP would be listed on the Forum. These would only be used in rolls for Valar runs, including our cross-guilded Full Members.
Initiates and Guild-friends do not get DKP.
If a guild-friend joins in, he should be pre-warned that he's welcome to hope his good roll beats our DKP-hyped rolls.
Failed rolls do not use up DKP.
Any pre-scheduled run even with friend groups earn DKP, even though we can't use it in a mixed group run . For example, our Monday turtle run with Lhee group would earn DKP for other runs, although it could not be spent in that particular run.
Cross-guilded members sush as Lhee/Amroth-(V) would still earn his DKP for guild runs.
DKP would be earned by the player, not confined to one character, so you don't lose out if asked to switch to a different character partway through to help with strategy.
The DKP addition is to be declared ahead of the roll, and can be done at the beginning of the run to prevent forgetting in the last-minute excitement if the officer so wishes.
A person is not required to use their DKP.
Any officer in the Valar Guild LotRO kinship including Warlords, Maiar, or Valar may set up a scheduled run, and may be helped in this by Varda if they wish. This run must be listed on the Forum. It would be best to also show it in the kin message of the day (any officer can put up this message) and in the News (email Varda). It is ok to also advertise it in the kinmail.
The run officer or his/her designated member puts the DKP on the forum, including what has been used, to be included on the master sheet at the beginning of the DKP thread by a forum admin officer.
Show the date of the run, primary name if known (or character name if not known, to be sorted out later), DKP earned for what (see below).
Points are earned this way, but only for officer-scheduled runs:
Using the earned points:
Those who can use the item roll for it, but before rolling declare how many of their dkp they are willing to add to that roll. The winning person loses that stated number of dkp from the master list for his overall kin name.

Points are earned this way, but only for officer-scheduled runs:
- 10 points for showing up on time, whether the group forms or not.
- On time plus self-signed up on the forum adds another point to the 10 points for being on time.
- In below-Moria runs: 2 points for participating in a boss attempt, 5 points for participating in a boss kill.
- In Moria and above that level runs: 5 points for participating in a boss attempt, increasing to 20 points for participating in a boss kill.
