GENERAL
Who is the Guild Master?
Quinceapple is Guild Leader of UNITY
Who do I talk to?
If your answer is not on the website, speak with one of the Officers. For any in-Guild issues you should contact your Class Leader in the first instance.
What help can I expect from the Guild?
First of all the Guild is a social playground for all members. We meet here so we can play the game, communicate and most importantly have some fun. All Officers are here to help you having a secure and fun environment and this is their top priority.
- Support from your Class Leader and other members of the Guild
- Items from the Guild Bank that helps improve your character
- Fun and cheerful company in general questing as well as Raids
- Pre-set Raid nights so you know when to show up for helping to conquer the harder instances
What do I have to do to become an Officer?
The Officer ranks are given to members who make significant contributions to the organisational issues in the Guild. These are people who give up their free time to help in and outside of the game. The Guild Master will determine promotions and demotions for all ranks over the course of the year.
What do I do to get a group for a dungeon run?
Most Dungeon events are organised in the in-game calendar. This should be your first port of call to organise and participate in events with UNITY.
What do I do to get a group for a group quest?
Ask in guild chat, quite often there is someone willing to help. When guild chat is busy a help request can sometimes pass unnoticed. In that case, try to whisper someone - or just ask in general chat in the area where you are questing.
What is TeamSpeak (TS)?
This is not an add-on to WoW but runs in the background to allow verbal chat during Raids and is used extensively by UNITY during Raids.
Where can I download TS?
It is best to download it directly from http://www.goteamspeak.com/
How do I install TS?
As it is a stand-alone product working outside of WoW, you can install this anywhere. Usually you will find the defaults work fine.
Where can I get the details for joining TS?
Ask an officer for server address and password, or look in the guild information tab in your WoW.
What are threat meters?
Everyone generates Threat when they perform an action. (A Priest healing a Warrior who is in combat will generate threat from the heal).
Threat meters allow people to keep track on who is generating a lot of threat. This allows the Warriors to maintain the highest threat levels keeping everyone else at a level below this.
Where can I download a threat meter?
Here at UNITY we use KLH Threat Meter (sometimes known as KTM) & Omen Threat Meter.
KLH Threat Meter can be downloaded here
Omen Threat Meter can be downloaded here
How can I improve my gear?
The best way (and cheapest) is to participate in Dungeon and Raid events. The bosses normally drop some good items. However, if you are gold rich you can usually find items in the Auction House too.

GUILD BANK*
How can I get gold from the Guild Bank?
Jainod and Echidna are the Bank Officers that are responsible for all banking issues. They have total control in all the banking for the Guild -equal to Guild Master - and will decide if you can get gold from the Guild Bank. Of course people that contribute will have better benefits and will be considered for extra loans or donations. Keep in mind that Jainod and Echidna keeps accounts for all incoming donations but also all the stuff people withdraw or ask from the Bank Officer.
How can I get items from the Guild Bank?
Members have total access to TAB 4,5 & 6 while Officers have access on all Tabs. Although there is a restricted access for members, they can still see all slots. So if they need anything for the Guild Bank that is outside of their access, they must contact Jainod or Echidna.Write an in-game mail should they not be online.
Do I have to pay for items I want to acquire from the Guild Bank?
Usually no, because we want all people to become strong and efficient enough to help themselves and the Guild. If though the Bank Officers decides the item has been taken/used unfairly, he may ask for some payment/deposit. The Vault works on a fair usage policy, and members are expected to Deposit when thay can and Withdraw when they need. Some items may require that you have DKP-points to spend.
How can I contribute to the Guild Bank collection?
Herbalists can gather herbs, DPSers can grind primals, Leatherworkers skin etc. Donations of useful things such as Potions, Rare Items, Cards and Gold can also help a lot. We intend to make the Guild Bank strong so that all can benefit. As such we could use all the help we can get.
The Guild Bank has to be set up for permissions of use:
- TAB 1,2 & 3 is only accessible for GM and Officers and they are limited to withdrawals of up to 10 stacks per day. This enables them to withdraw any items that may be needed by any members of the Guild.
- TAB 4,5 & 6 are accessible to all members of the Guild and they can withdraw up to 2 stacks per day.
- Deposits can be made by anyone at any time to any TAB. Reagents such as void crystals, books or any expensive items are set into TAB 1 & 2 as they will then be safely dealt out and will not be open to abuse.
RECRUITMENT
Is there a minimum age to join the Guild?
There is a set age limit that we recruit into UNITY of 18+
How can I apply to join the Guild?
UNITY has a really easy recruitment process. Everything can be done online here.
Who decides about inviting new members?
The Class Leader looks at the numbers in the Guild and what we require to function. Decisions are based upon the requirements of the Guild to advance in the game.
Who is in charge of inviting members to the Guild?
Class Leaders normally invite members to the Guild once they have completed the Guild Recruitment process here.
Were can I find information about the Guild?
The website here is the best place. Use the Search Function to find answers to specific questions.
Can my alt join the Guild?
We usually ask that you are a Full Member before we invite Alts to the Guild. On average it takes just 2 months to become a full member and gives us a chance to get to know you and you a chance to meet us. Until you are a full member, we will not allow you to roll on Tier items, however you may roll on other loot in raids and instances ofc.
Can my best friend join the Guild?
All members (including friends) have to complete the Recruitment Process here. However, they should mention that they are your friend on the form.
Can members of my family join the Guild?
All members (including family members) have to complete the Recruitment Process here. However, they should mention that they are a member of your family on the form.
I used to be in UNITY but left. Can I join again?
You can't expect to have a slot reserved in UNITY once you have left the Guild, as we are striving after a Guild with a balance of classes and levels. This means that you must fill in the application form, just as everyone else. However, you should mention that you've been a previous member on the form.
Are there any minimum requirements to join the Guild?
That is a hard question to answer and goes back to what UNITY requires at the time to progress in-game. These requirements will change from time-to-time.
RAIDS
What days is UNITY Raiding?
This is subject to change, but the Raid Page here has all the up-to-date information regarding Raiding in UNITY.
At what hours is UNITY Raiding?
This varies, but mainly in the evenings from 20.30 Game Time onwards. Note that invites starts at 20.00 Game Time. Some events are staggered so as not to conflict with other runs.
What dungeons is UNITY Raiding?
This is subject to change, but the Raid Page here has all the up-to-date information regarding Raiding in UNITY.
What add-ons do I need for Raiding?
This is an important question and one that you need to prepare for before venturing on a Raid. The Raid Page here has all the up-to-date information regarding add-ons that UNITY uses.
Where can I download the add-ons UNITY uses for Raiding?
The Raid Page here has all the up-to-date information regarding add-ons that UNITY uses including links on where to download them.
What requirements do I need to meet in order to get a Raid slot?
Every Raid is different and may require a certain level, experience or honor prior to the start. Talk to your Class Leader for evaluation of what raids you are geared up for, and check your gear with Beimba and WoW Heroes for tips on how to enhance your gear trough enchants etc.
Is it the same requirements for a Raid slot in all dungeons?
Unfortunately not, all dungeons are different and the make-up of the group depends on where you are going. It is best to discuss this first with the Raid Leader.
Why do UNITY have different requirements for different Raid groups?
This is subject to the layout and design of the dungeon. Every Class has their own talent and you need the right mix in each Raid.
How do I sign up for Raids?
Once you are approved to be on raiding rota you will recieve an invite trough the in-game calendar, which you must accept. Should you not be able to turn up for the raid you are assigned for, we require that you contact the raid leader. You also have to show up in time for the raid, or a reserve will be taking your place.
What responsibilities do I have when signed up for a Raid?
- Sign up for the run by accepting the invite in the in-game calendar.
- * Make sure you have a current version of CT-Raid and Team Speak installed.
- Show up at least 15 minutes before the Raid starts and log into team speak. If you arrive any later someone else might be given your spot.
- Show up at the instance entrance in good time for the Raid. If there is a queue of members who want to Raid the persons of your class that are actually at the game scene will be prioritised for getting a spot.
- Update your add-ons’ to meet the requirements suggested at the UNITY homepage. These requirements might change over time, so bookmark the homepage and return regularly for news.
- Ensure you have Mana/Health and other potions that you need for the Raid. You will find information about what you will need from the class leader, the Raid page and/or the webpage provided for your class.
- Make sure you have enough reagents to last through the Raid.
- Listen carefully to the Raid Leaders instructions, and get additional information about your role (where to be positioned etc) from your class leader.
- Talk to your Class Leader and ask to be part of the RAIDS.
- Make sure that you not only have installed, but have configured the tools found here.
- Ensure you have Mana/Health and other potions with you and have 300 skill in First Aid along with a healthy supply of bandages.
- PVP off before you enter the RAID instance.
- Rogues - Pickpocket at your own risk.
- Most importantly log-on 15-20 mins before the start to join the group and not lose your place.
If you are not yet ready for the RAID group your Class Leader is the best person to help you prepare to be part of the RAID in the future.
Who decides what Raiding group I belong to?
This is a discussion between the Raid Leader and your Class Leader. As members gain experience you will see changes to the Groups accordingly.
Why can’t I join any Raid group of my own choice?
UNITY tries to balance the right experience with the needs of the Raid as a whole and above all a need to be fair. Due to this mix of requirements people are usually allocated a Raid Slot/Group.
Who decides who gets to Raid, when more players signed up then slots available?
This is done as fairly as possible and is down to the mix of the Raid to who signed up first. If you have 10 Mages turn up on a 10 man Raid, you do not have the right mix, and it will require an even spread of Classes dependant on the dungeon being visited.
What can I do to improve my performance?
There is lots of information here on this website, but it usually comes down to lots of smaller Dungeon runs to get your gear up to a better specification and also working to improve your reputation with certain factions. Some Raids also have pre-requisite quests to complete first. Check out http://www.wowwiki.com if you are unsure.
Also check the auction house for elixirs, flasks and other "mumbojumbo" that can give your stats an extra boost!
What is the role of a Raid Leader?
The Raid Leader's role is for the smooth running and organisation of the Raid as a whole. It is through their experience and expertise that your group will progress further and further through a Dungeon.
Who are the Raid Leaders?
This depends on the Raid itself. If you are unsure, you can always speak to your Class Leader.
Can I start my own Raids?
Of course, but this might take a bit of advertising and should not conflict with any existing Guild runs. In-game calendar is the best way to plan for this and you should let people have plenty of time to sign up (5-days or more).
Does UNITY use a DKP-system?
Yes. You can find more information about this at the raid section at this site.
What happens to BOE-items that drop in Raids?
People are asked to Roll on items that are dropped in Raids – especially BoE items. However, there are instances where these are nuked and used for the good of the whole Guild.
CLASS LEADERS
What is a Class Leader?
The Class Leader's role is to support new members of their class by giving advice and generally to help them develop their character into a good resource for the guild. This is mainly achieved by greeting and making contact with them in game.
When the guild arranges bigger Raids (Naxaramas, Ulduar, etc) one of the Class Leaders should try to attend and support the Raid Leader by providing game guidance to the others of the same Class.
The Class Leader also needs to contribute to the bigger Raids by organising those of their class that want to be invited. Also, ensuring that players are aware that they have the appropriate mods and Raid pre-requisites installed (CT-Raid and TeamSpeak) and that they are at the Raid entrance in good time. They keep an eye out for possible recruits to invite into the Guild.

PvP
Are UNITY doing organised PvP?
We had an aim to create a new PvP event on GEM every Thursday (a bit earlier then our raids so our younger members can have some fun with it). But the interest wasn't so high. Instead usually members organise PvP premaids in the spirit of the moment. Also some members are into arena.
