Introduction

The Basin on Tichondrius uses the Basin Raid Points (BRP) system to distribute loot dropped on raids. Key features of the BRP system:

- It is a zero-sum points system with no inflation. Long-term, frequent raid participants cannot monopolize loot at the expense of less frequent or newer participants.

- Items have a fixed point cost. When an individual loots an item, those points are deducted from his or her total and redistributed to the other people present on the raid.

- Loot distribution is highly proportional to the time you spend raiding. Individuals can enjoy steady progress for each raid they attend without requiring the ceiling of a weighted random system or the strict turns of a list system.

The system is subject to change at the discretion of the raid leaders, and indeed it has changed several times since inception. This document sets out the system in place as at 5 April 2006.

Separate systems

We maintain separate BRP systems for each of the following:

- Molten Core, Onyxia, World Bosses

- Blackwing Lair

- Ruins of Ahn Qiraj (AQ20)

- Temple of Ahn Qiraj (AQ40)

- Naxxramas

Points earned in one system may only be spent within that same system.

Points and item values

Each item is assigned a fixed point value by the raid leaders, based on its item level. The formula is as follows:

BRP cost = ilvl^2 * slotmod * 1.2 * 0.025 (This formula is explained later)

Item values are subject to change if the raid leaders feel it is warranted. Please PM or contact a raid leader privately if you have a problem with how a particular item is valued or notice a discrepancy in the tables.

Each participant in the system starts with 0 points and is assigned points when another participant loots an item on a raid they attend. The number of points is based on a simple calculation:

Points = (Total point value of item looted) / (number of players on the raid)

This mechanism ensures zero inflation, as no more points come into the system than go out.

The raid leaders have the discretion to deem whether or not individuals who miss substantial portions of a raid are eligible for a points distribution for particular boss kills during that raid. Missing the first two or three trash mob pulls will not generally be a problem, but invididuals ported in immediately before a boss kill are not likely to be eligible for point distributions from that particular boss's loot.

When loot drops

When an item drops, the loot master announces the name of each item by calling it on teamspeak and/or by typing its name in the raid channel (/ra). While loot distribution is going on, please keep the raid channel free from chat and spam. Once an item is announced, all interested parties will have a chance to type "need" (roughly 30 seconds). The lootmaster will then check the points table to see which interested invidual has the most points. That person loots the item and has the point value of the item deducted from their total and redistributed to the members of the raid.

You are allowed to loot items even if you have negative points (keep in mind since this is a zero sum system, many people will be negative).

If two or more people who "need" a drop have equal points, they will use a /random 100 to determine who purchases the item.

There is no limit on the number of purples you can loot in one run. However, you may only contest one item per boss.

On Molten Core and Onyxia raids only, "upgrade" may be called if a Tier 2 item drops and you already have the Tier 1 item for that slot (ie leg pieces from Ragnaros and hats from Onyxia). Upgrade calls rank with equal priority as "need" calls, but the cost is reduced to the difference between the Tier 1 cost and the Tier 2 cost.

Similarly, "downgrade" may be called if a Tier 1 item drops and you already have the Tier 2 item for that slot. Downgrade calls rank after "need" or "upgrade" calls in priority, and if successful the item will be looted at no cost.

If nobody calls the item, if it is BoE (bind on equip) then it will be bought by the Banker, and posted on the forums for distribution. If the item is BoP (bind on pick-up) then it will be disenchanted, and resulting Nexus Shards will be bought by the Banker for 5 BRP each.

Point standings and item values

Overall points standings, results from individual raids, point values for particular items, individual loot histories, and other such information will be made easily accessible to all interested parties on a web site. This site will be updated at the end of each raid.

You can see current standings from all previous raids at the BRP website

Explanation of item cost formula

BRP cost = ilvl^2 * slotmod * 1.2 * 0.025

Explanation of terms:

- "ilvl" is the Item Level. It is squared to make higher-level items cost disproportionately more. - Slot mods are from the reverse item engineering thread: http://www.theamazonbasin.com/wow/forums/i...?showtopic=8105 - The 1.2 is the modifier for any purple (blues are 1.1 and greens are 1.0), again from the reverse engineering thread above. - The 0.025 is a constant that scales the values back down to something approaching our old BRP values.

This formula makes higher-level items cost disporportionately more as we get into harder and harder instances that drop epics with a higher base item levels. We pay more to reflect the increased difficulty of the instance and the dedication we have to put into our toons to be able to contribute to a boss kill that can drop an item of that level.

Here are the slot mods:

Head – 100% Neck – 54% Shoulder – 74% Back – 54% Chest – 100% Wrist – 54% Hands – 74% Waist – 74% Legs – 100% Feet – 74% Ring – 54% Trinkets – 68% Shield – 50% Off-hand – 50% Wands - 45% 1h Weapon – 70% 2h Weapon – 110% 1 Hand Melee Weapons for Hunters - 40% 2 Hand Melee Weapons for Hunters - 60% Ranged Weapons for Melee Classes- 40%

You may note that these slot modifiers are not exactly the same as the ones listed in the reverse engineering thread. Weapons and offhands in particular are a bit different to reflect the fact that classes like Warriors, Rogues, and Hunters recieve disproportionately higher boost in power from weapons than armor, unlike spellcasters whose raw power is largely determined by things like +spell and +heal modifiers spread across multiple slots.
