We are a casual raiding group. When you see a run advertised as an RKC run you can expect the following:
- There is no judgment if real life gets in the way
- Any level 115 character in our kin is welcome, there is no need to audition or prove your ability; we run a variety of runs and you can join in any appropriate to your gear and experience.
- All participants, of all types of runs, are asked to come ready to listen to the raid leader and follow the planned strategy; this helps keep the run more efficient and decreases delays caused by things such as inattention, starting fights early, and attacking the wrong targets.
- Out of respect for others' time, decisions regarding readiness for any runs are at the discretion of the leader; you can find recommendations to help decide if a toon is ready for the challenging runs on our Gearing for Endgame Instances guide.
- Because of the improved sound quality, RKC runs will use Discord whenever possible; please try to find time to set it up: www.discord.gg/2U3tbEG (download available, but not required)
Watch the calendar for our schedule
“Basic runs”: an opportunity to prepare for more challenging runs
- Few, if any, restrictions on the gear or experience necessary to participate
- Provide an opportunity for improving gear and knowledge of your class & role
- Runs will generally be on the easier side of the continuum; they will be chosen according to the gear & ability of the people that have volunteered.
- The leader or someone designated by the leader will usually help to explain some of the concepts that make players more helpful to their group
- Roles, and tips for successfully filling them
- Interrupts and corruption removals
- Moving out of hot spots, removing debuffs, staying out of AoEs, and so on
- Helpful UI elements (showing target's target; assist window, etc.)
- Suggestions for decreasing lag
- An opportunity for people to ask questions and learn more about their class or role.
“Challenging runs”: Running more difficult instances
- success in these will require a group to work well together, and its members to be better equipped and more experienced than in the basic runs
- Instance will probably be chosen ahead of time
- Leader is more likely to look for specific classes, gear, & experience in order to optimize the group's chances of success, such as:
- Success at CoS T2
- Gear level matching the instance you're running, on the chart in the Gear Level Calculator
