'''Heirloom''' is an [[item]] type that was introduced with [[Wrath of the Lich King]].<ref name="discover">http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=9679633896&sid=2000#18</ref> The items have a golden hue in their text color, and their attributes scale with the character's level.<ref name="detail">http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=9679633896&sid=2000&pageNo=4#75</ref> Nearly all heirloom items are named after popular items from the early days of Classic WoW, and share the look of these items.

The Remnant is a casual social/leveling/raiding guild. Our primary focus is on education, community and family. The guild encourages friendly, non-elitist (yet knowledgeable) play. Its tenets are founded in fun, camaraderie and respect. '''NOTE:''' Many links in here are incomplete and will be finished within the next month.
   
  +
== Rules ==
−
Once purchased, heirlooms bind to the account, as opposed to an individual character. This means they can be mailed to any character that shares the same account and server, including those of opposing faction ([[patch 3.3]]). Heirloom items can be returned for a refund within the normal two-hour grace period, but only if the item was not yet mailed to a different character.
  
  +
There are two rules to follow when joining our guild:
  +
# Respect the Guild
  +
# Respect your Guildies
   
  +
==Membership Details==
−
Heirloom items do not have a durability stat, and do not need to be repaired. This saves money when leveling your character.
  
   
  +
===Guild Ranks===
−
For classes that can wear [[mail]] and [[plate]] items, while the character is under level 40, heirlooms will appear as [[leather]] or mail [[armor]] types until that character is able to wear the mail or plate armor type. For example, when purchasing an heirloom for a level 12 [[shaman]], you want to buy a mail heirloom item, which will scale down to leather when equipped on the shaman until the shaman reaches level 40, when it will become mail again.
  
  +
The Remnant's Rank structure is a hybrid structure which starts as a typical ladder. After 5 ranks, the structure changes to a departmental type. In these top 3 ranks, members elect to accept specific responsibilities. These 3 have slightly differing benefits according to their chosen roles. Finally, the top level Council which share all responsibilities (though some may specialize at their choosing) and the [[Guild Master]], [[User:FuzzicalLogic/Characters/Wu|Wu]].
   
  +
====Lower Ladder====
−
Heirloom [[shoulders]], [[:Category:World of Warcraft chest items|chest]]pieces, [[cloak]]s, [[helm]]s and the [[ring]] grant greater [[experience]] gains while wearing them. The experience bonuses stack with each other and with the [[rested]] bonus, and affect experience gains from [[quests]], but do not stack with [[Essence of Wintergrasp]]. The maximum possible experience bonus from heirlooms alone is 40%. The experience bonus on shoulders, chestpieces and rings stop at level 80.
  
  +
* (Rank 1) Relic - This rank is a placeholder rank for players that have been inactive for a long period of time. Characters are moved into this rank automatically. When a character is moved into this rank, the officer that moves it will record the original rank into the Officer's Note. The Remnant has stated that while this does not insure the character may take over their previous rank, it certainly makes it more feasible.
  +
* (Rank 2) The Stocks - This is a provisional rank for new recruits. Though there is a repair allowance, [[Guild Bank]] Access is limited.
  +
* (Rank 3) Socialite - This rank is for members who are occasional and seek only the social aspects of the guild with minor benefits. They have slightly better access to the Guild Bank and a slightly higher repair allowance.
  +
* (Rank 4) Recruit - This rank is for members who play regularly and contribute to the guild or its members on several levels. Recruits are recognized by trends in performance and promoted by officers.
  +
* (Rank 5) Soldier - (description
   
  +
====Officers====
−
Heirloom item restrictions are skill based and not class based. For example, any class could wear the cloth shoulders and chest for the 20% experience boost, but classes such as warriors and rogues would not benefit from the item's casting stats.
  
  +
Unlike the ladder, all of our officers are of equal rank. However, limitations in the guild architecture force a ladder hierarchy from within the game. Benefits for officers are comparable to each other, but are specialized based on the type of officer. Each officer has a specific responsibility, chosen by that officer. These do change occasionally so this list is expected to be current.
   
−
==Stat values==
 +
=====Sovereign=====
  +
Sovereigns focus on administrative duties of the guild. This can range widely from guild relations to web content.
−
An heirloom's stats correspond to the [[item level]] of a [[Rare|blue quality item]] requiring its wearer's level, except that for cloak and helm heirlooms, the stats stop increasing at level 80. However, heirlooms give bonuses to four different stats from a far lower level than blue items start doing so. At level 80, heirlooms are approximately equivalent to an [[item level]] 187 {{quality|rare}} item, and will ultimately be replaced by questing, instancing, and PvP at the maximum level.

  +
* [http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/kaelthas/thaneron/simple Thaneron] - Vent Contributor and Manager
  +
=====Veteran=====
  +
The Veterans in The Remnant focus on PvP related duties. All Veterans are well versed in good practices and general, as well as map-specific strategies. They typically have strong PvE experience, as well, but is not necessarily true, nor a requirement for becoming a Veteran.
  +
* [http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/kaelthas/ignitrus/simple Ignitrus] - Recruits new members
   
  +
=====General=====
−
On reaching levels 58 and 68, players will notice unusually large stat increases to heirlooms, because these are the lowest required levels for blues introduced in, respectively, [[Burning Crusade]] and [[Wrath of the Lich King]]. The same is true at level 81 for [[Cataclysm]] heirloom cloaks. However, while blue items introduced in Cataclysm all require at least level 81, uncommon items of level 272 only require level 77.
  
  +
Generals are geared toward PvE. They have extensive knowledge of party dynamics, build mechanics, dungeons and raids.
   
  +
====Council Members====
−
For almost any given justice-point heirloom weapon or armor item, as well as for each of the heirloom cloaks at level 80, there exist four uncommon replacements that:
  
  +
* [http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/kaelthas/iorwen/simple Iorwen] - Challenge Coordinator
−
* Occur as [[world drop]]s.
  
  +
* [http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/kaelthas/flamelle/simple Flamelle]
−
* Bind when equipped.
  
  +
* [http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/kaelthas/galhamon/simple Galhamon] - Raid Coordinator
−
* Have the same stats as the heirloom with higher values.
  
  +
* [http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/kaelthas/kyridana/simple Kyridana] - Guild Bank Management
−
* Have required levels of 77, 78, 79 and 80.
  
  +
* [http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/kaelthas/hisoka/simple Hisoka] - Guild Bank Management
−
* Have item levels of 272, 278, 283 and 289.
  
−
* Have four consecutive item IDs (see [[ItemString]]).
  
−
* Have the [[item suffix]] "of the Earthfall" (for Strength items), "of the Windflurry" (for Agility items), or "of the Fireflash" (for Intellect items).

==Tips for Early Purchasing==
  
  +
Posted soon.
−
If you're thrifty and plan to level several alts, aim for gear many different classes can use even if the gear might be not be optimal for all of them. This is especially important since enchants for such gear tend to go for high prices on auction houses. For example, spell shoulders and spell staffs are popular heirlooms since nearly all classes that use mana can find some use for them compared to stuff like paladin-specific spellplate. Similarly, shoulders of ''any'' kind should take preference over weapons, the former for their experience boost (even if it creates suboptimal stats) while the latter are mostly a convenience to the player with the exception of gear-dependent tanks.
  
   
  +
===Weekly Contests===
−
==Enchanting your Heirlooms==
  
  +
Starting April 26, 2011, The Remnant is holding weekly contests for its members. These contests are meant to encourage the growth of its members and of the guild as a whole. Each contest is geared toward a specific type of character contribution or style of play. These contests are focused on diversity of play
−
Heirlooms can be enchanted only with enhancements that will not bind the item to the character. The items are treated as [[item level]] 1, and as such can not use most [[Burning Crusade]] or higher enhancements; however, [[Death Knight]] [[runes]] are allowed on heirloom weapons. Also worth considering is the fact that some of the enhancements that can be used will not actually take effect unless the character using them is of the appropriate level (primarily shoulder and head enchants).

  +
===Just for Fun===
−
Heirloom heads have a 10% experience boost from quests and kills and stack with all other Heirloom items.
  
  +
* [[/Alt-ernate reality|Alt-ernate Reality]] - On the last day of each month, The Remnant hosts an Alt-ernate Reality day. Members are encouraged to create a new character and enter them into the guild for the purposes of partying for the whole day. Whether or not the character is kept and leveled or deleted is entirely up to the member. As months progress, The Remnant may even sponsor specific themes, such as class-specific days or race-specific days.
   
  +
==Raids and Dungeons==
−
These items are sold by [[Guild vendor]]s for after completing the achievement {{achievement|Guild Level 20}}. You will also need {{rep|Honored|Guild Reputation|Honored Guild Reputation}} to purchase these items.
  
  +
For active raiding and general dungeons, The Remnant follows a few conventions that are different from many other guilds. In other circumstances, they choose to adhere to the standards. Though the guild has not done a lot of raids, they boast an extremely high success rate and actively teach other members how to be successful and even lead raids of their own. They achieve their success rate largely due to their officers' vast knowledge of the game and maximum use of its features.
   
  +
===Icon Usage===
−
Below, classes in square brackets are not in the proper armor class, but will still get the stat benefit from the listed heirloom. Classes in brackets will find the heirloom significantly weaker than another one, but will still benefit. Keep this in mind if buying an heirloom for several [[alt]]s to use.
 
  +
Raid icons are commonly used for two purposes. The first and most common is to establish kill order. The second is to direct crowd control. Both are equally important for the guild members to know. Kill order is self-descriptive giving direction for how to proceed through a fight. Crowd Control has seen much more limited use among active players as of late, but The Remnant still actively uses it as it greatly lowers the dps and hps required to survive a fight, and in many circumstances speeds up combat. In each circumstance, the party leader should state whether the icons are being used for CC (crowd control) or KO (kill order).

Note that these Heirloom items are only the ''highest level'' version of the item the faction vendor carries. For example, [[Lesser Inscription of the Axe]] is not an Heirloom and the name will not appear in a brown color in the vendor's trade window.

===Shoulder Enchants===
  
  +
|+ Crowd Control
−
Shoulder [[enchants]], available at [[exalted]] with the [[Sons of Hodir]], are also heirloom-quality items, but are only usable by level 80 characters. This is to allow for the use of these powerful enchants without having to grind through the [[reputation]]s (particularly Sons of Hodir) with another character. If your character has the ability to craft or purchase shoulder enchants of their own, they can be applied to the heirloom shoulders.
  
−  
−
The shoulder enchants from the Inscription profession will work on Heirlooms shoulders at any level, however you will require Inscription for the enchant to take effect. This means minimum level required is 65 (to have 400 skill). The pvp shoulder enchant will only work when your character reaches level 70.

===Training Raids===

In addition to teaching and maintaining skills, techniques and practices, The Remnant also hosts training raids. Training raids work a little differently than many of the other raids. Among the primary differences, training raids are often padded for success. This means that there are often several over-qualified members to run the raid so things don't get out of control and so that stress does not get too high. They serve as instructors and examples of how to perform.

At the beginning of the raid, there is an introduction. During this time, members are told whom the members' focus should be. If, at this time, members are not aware of how to set up their basic UI, then this is addressed before the raid starts. Specific proper practices are also addressed for the sake of emphasis.

These items are sold by [[Guild vendor]]s for {{cost|1200}} after completing the achievement {{achievement|Guild Level 10}}. You will also need {{rep|Honored|Guild Reputation|Honored Guild Reputation}} to purchase these items.

Classes in brackets will find the heirloom significantly weaker than another one, but will still benefit. Keep this in mind if buying an heirloom for several [[alt]]s to use. Since all the cloaks have Stamina, Crit and Haste along with the experience bonus, they can benefit any class despite not being ideal.

The instructions for each boss fight are given every time in a training raid. This is done regardless of how many members are there who know the fight. Second, Deadly Boss Mods is discouraged (not forbidden) to make the training members more self-reliant and recognize the verbal and visual cues. Third, [[vent]] is not used for training raids. This is intentional to stimulate awareness. It IS used for all other raids.

After the raid is completed, raid leaders will address the trainees directly discussing successes or room for improvement as a team.

After this is done, the leaders address each trainee individually on points of improvement.

===Guild Experience and Reputation===
−
*{{Patch 4.1.0|note=Plate tanking head and tanking cloak added.}}
  
  +
One of the most frequent questions new members of any guild ask are "how important is Guild Experience or Guild Reputation" and "how do I get Guild Experience or Reputation?" Well, the answer is simpler now than it was when Cataclysm first came out. Just play! Guild experience can accrue rather quickly. In contrast, Guild Reputation is significantly slower and is based on Guild Experience, so is unfortunately based on level. The best approach to it is to work one toon until they are friendly, then buy the Illustrious Guild Tabard. Then work to Honored, and purchase the Renowned Guild Tabard for every character you want to raise.
−
*{{Patch 4.0.6|note=Heirloom vendors for both Justice Points and Honor Points added in Stormwind and Orgrimmar.}}

===Custom Channels===
  +
The Remnant creates and maintains a custom [[channel]] for use with our allies. The channel is utilized to find parties, raids and PvP groups for like-minded players to join up. Once the channel is joined by a character, it will be automatically joined each time that character logs on. This is meant for friendly, non-elitist players to have fun on our server, reduce queue times, increase general raiding success and inspire camaraderie. One does not have to be a guild member to join, but send a whisper to Wu in order to gain the password.

Guilds

This article is a guild information page.

The contents herein are entirely player made and in no way represent official World of Warcraft history or occurrences which are accurate for all realms. The characters and events listed are of an independent nature and applied for roleplaying, fictional, speculative, or opinions from a limited playerbase only. Guild pages must comply with the personal article policy.

Page last modified: 2011-06-29

Template:Guildbox The Remnant is a casual social/leveling/raiding guild. Our primary focus is on education, community and family. The guild encourages friendly, non-elitist (yet knowledgeable) play. Its tenets are founded in fun, camaraderie and respect. NOTE: Many links in here are incomplete and will be finished within the next month.

Rules

There are two rules to follow when joining our guild:

  1. Respect the Guild
  2. Respect your Guildies

Membership Details

Guild Ranks

The Remnant's Rank structure is a hybrid structure which starts as a typical ladder. After 5 ranks, the structure changes to a departmental type. In these top 3 ranks, members elect to accept specific responsibilities. These 3 have slightly differing benefits according to their chosen roles. Finally, the top level Council which share all responsibilities (though some may specialize at their choosing) and the Guild Master, Wu.

Lower Ladder

  • (Rank 1) Relic - This rank is a placeholder rank for players that have been inactive for a long period of time. Characters are moved into this rank automatically. When a character is moved into this rank, the officer that moves it will record the original rank into the Officer's Note. The Remnant has stated that while this does not insure the character may take over their previous rank, it certainly makes it more feasible.
  • (Rank 2) The Stocks - This is a provisional rank for new recruits. Though there is a repair allowance, Guild Bank Access is limited.
  • (Rank 3) Socialite - This rank is for members who are occasional and seek only the social aspects of the guild with minor benefits. They have slightly better access to the Guild Bank and a slightly higher repair allowance.
  • (Rank 4) Recruit - This rank is for members who play regularly and contribute to the guild or its members on several levels. Recruits are recognized by trends in performance and promoted by officers.
  • (Rank 5) Soldier - (description

Officers

Unlike the ladder, all of our officers are of equal rank. However, limitations in the guild architecture force a ladder hierarchy from within the game. Benefits for officers are comparable to each other, but are specialized based on the type of officer. Each officer has a specific responsibility, chosen by that officer. These do change occasionally so this list is expected to be current.

Sovereign

Sovereigns focus on administrative duties of the guild. This can range widely from guild relations to web content.

  • Shadowcatch - Manages our guilds contributions to Wowpedia content
  • Thaneron - Vent Contributor and Manager
Veteran

The Veterans in The Remnant focus on PvP related duties. All Veterans are well versed in good practices and general, as well as map-specific strategies. They typically have strong PvE experience, as well, but is not necessarily true, nor a requirement for becoming a Veteran.

General

Generals are geared toward PvE. They have extensive knowledge of party dynamics, build mechanics, dungeons and raids.

Council Members

Events

Posted soon.

Weekly Contests

Starting April 26, 2011, The Remnant is holding weekly contests for its members. These contests are meant to encourage the growth of its members and of the guild as a whole. Each contest is geared toward a specific type of character contribution or style of play. These contests are focused on diversity of play

Just for Fun

  • Alt-ernate Reality - On the last day of each month, The Remnant hosts an Alt-ernate Reality day. Members are encouraged to create a new character and enter them into the guild for the purposes of partying for the whole day. Whether or not the character is kept and leveled or deleted is entirely up to the member. As months progress, The Remnant may even sponsor specific themes, such as class-specific days or race-specific days.

Raids and Dungeons

For active raiding and general dungeons, The Remnant follows a few conventions that are different from many other guilds. In other circumstances, they choose to adhere to the standards. Though the guild has not done a lot of raids, they boast an extremely high success rate and actively teach other members how to be successful and even lead raids of their own. They achieve their success rate largely due to their officers' vast knowledge of the game and maximum use of its features.

Icon Usage

Raid icons are commonly used for two purposes. The first and most common is to establish kill order. The second is to direct crowd control. Both are equally important for the guild members to know. Kill order is self-descriptive giving direction for how to proceed through a fight. Crowd Control has seen much more limited use among active players as of late, but The Remnant still actively uses it as it greatly lowers the dps and hps required to survive a fight, and in many circumstances speeds up combat. In each circumstance, the party leader should state whether the icons are being used for CC (crowd control) or KO (kill order).

Training Raids

In addition to teaching and maintaining skills, techniques and practices, The Remnant also hosts training raids. Training raids work a little differently than many of the other raids. Among the primary differences, training raids are often padded for success. This means that there are often several over-qualified members to run the raid so things don't get out of control and so that stress does not get too high. They serve as instructors and examples of how to perform.

At the beginning of the raid, there is an introduction. During this time, members are told whom the members' focus should be. If, at this time, members are not aware of how to set up their basic UI, then this is addressed before the raid starts. Specific proper practices are also addressed for the sake of emphasis.

The instructions for each boss fight are given every time in a training raid. This is done regardless of how many members are there who know the fight. Second, Deadly Boss Mods is discouraged (not forbidden) to make the training members more self-reliant and recognize the verbal and visual cues. Third, vent is not used for training raids. This is intentional to stimulate awareness. It IS used for all other raids. Finally, the code of conduct is stricter in that training is for people who wish to be better, so it is emphasized that listening and being non-disruptive is key.

After the raid is completed, raid leaders will address the trainees directly discussing successes or room for improvement as a team. Raid members are given a chance to ask questions, make comments and address concerns. Then, the raid leaders discuss the trainees and what could be improved by either the trainees or the leaders. After this is done, the leaders address each trainee individually on points of improvement.

Additional Information

Guild Experience and Reputation

One of the most frequent questions new members of any guild ask are "how important is Guild Experience or Guild Reputation" and "how do I get Guild Experience or Reputation?" Well, the answer is simpler now than it was when Cataclysm first came out. Just play! Guild experience can accrue rather quickly. In contrast, Guild Reputation is significantly slower and is based on Guild Experience, so is unfortunately based on level. The best approach to it is to work one toon until they are friendly, then buy the Illustrious Guild Tabard. Then work to Honored, and purchase the Renowned Guild Tabard for every character you want to raise.

Custom Channels

The Remnant creates and maintains a custom channel for use with our allies. The channel is utilized to find parties, raids and PvP groups for like-minded players to join up. Once the channel is joined by a character, it will be automatically joined each time that character logs on. This is meant for friendly, non-elitist players to have fun on our server, reduce queue times, increase general raiding success and inspire camaraderie.
