The Ragefire Rotation List
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello Clerics of Luclin. We have a system in place that has allowed our server to remain civil about Ragefire where others have failed. It is not perfect but it has worked very well. It is a list for individuals, not guilds, that we Clerics continue to make work. Note, that in this list description, the Ragefire spawn that is regulated is the one that rare-spawns in the SKYFIRE zone. The Ragefire in Solb does not follow any hard official rules at this time.
To get on the list you MUST have your Pearl ready to hand in. Once you have received your pearl, you must show a screenshot of it as well. The screenshot must be a normal full screenshot (any of the F10 screens are fine). The screenshot must have the stats of the pearl (displayed by righting clicking the pearl), and the cleric's name on it. (name often found in the upper-right corner of the screen, unless you changed your screen options around a bit)
The screenshot may either be posted to this list if you know how, or if not, then emailed to cayleueq@yahoo.com. Altering the format of the screenshot to jpg or something like that is fine if you wish, to reduce the size of those huge bmp screenshots, but that's it.
*note* it is highly recommended to send your screenshot as a jpg instead of the way the game makes it. See here for a quick tutorial by me on how to do this.
To get on the list AND to remain on the list, you also MUST be at least 50th level. You can then email me at cayleueq@yahoo.com with the screenshot and I will add you to the list when your level is verified. If you would like to send me a tell, or post here, in addition to the emailed screenshot that is fine also, but you need to email me to be certain. In addition, your guild affiliation will be listed with your name, in order to make it easier for others to contact you. In no way will one cleric be weighed or judged better than another on this list by their guild. (Or lack of one, though a guild of friends could certainly make camping Ragefire an easier task) If your guild is incorrectly listed, please let me know by posting, or emailing cayleueq@yahoo.com Finally, if you seriously announce that you are quitting Everquest, and then you do quit playing, you will be removed from the list, and will have to rejoin at the bottom if you change your mind and return to the game.
There will be NO swapping or giving away places on the list. The only exception will be if someone with a Pearl needs to pass on their turn at Rage. They may let the person directly behind them go. (See Comments below the list on Camping Rage) If you do not have your Pearl and your time for Rage comes you will be removed from the list.
Rage should be killed as quickly as possible after he pops. This list is saving you a huge amount of time by giving you as fair a shot at Rage as you will find. The server is not going to wait 8 hours or an entire evening for Rage to die. Do what it takes to get him killed quickly so the next Cleric can get started on theirs. A few hours for you to get home from school or work is fine as long as the person doing the camp for you knows exactly when you will be on. If you know that you will be a little late should Rage pop at a specific time, it is up to you to make sure the clerics on the list will know about it. If the server is due to come down very soon during your camp, you had better be darned sure that you'll be able to take Rage down before a possible spawn is wasted.

Skyfire Spawn Times:
The Skyfire Ragefire spawns in human form near the northeast corner of Skyfire in front of the Orange-globe dragon statue. He spawns kos to all, and when the human is killed, the dragon form that we are all familiar with spawns in his place. It is highly recommended that you attack with no fewer than 4-5 decent groups. Its very possible to kill Rage with 3 pretty nice groups, or 2 "elite" groups, but if you want riskless guaranteed overkill, 4-5 groups mostly deep into the 50's is usually more than sufficient.
The new Ragefire in Skyfire will spawn about 0-2 days after a server bootup, with the average time being about 1 day. Therefore, a cleric who is up for a first-spawn Rage after a server bootup is expected to be watching for the spawn ASAP after the server comes up.
The RE-SPAWN of Ragefire works differently. Ragefire in Skyfire *RE*-spawns 4-6 days after Ragefire is killed. In all the months post-change, Ragefire has never ever been reported to respawn any sooner than 4 days. Typically a re-spawn is a solid 5 days, with rare occasions being up to a full +/- 1 day from 5 days. THEREFORE, a cleric on top IS NOT expected to be "solidly" camping Ragefire untill about the 4th day, as every information we have to date suggests that camping a RE-spawn any sooner than 4 days would be a waste of time. (Some clerics have kept a "casual" eye on the camp from day 3 through 4, which is great, in case by a freak incident Rage respawns sooner than 4 days.)
Note: In the very rare occasion that a Verant GM announces that the Skyfire zone will be brought down, this will change the spawn times when the zone is brought back up again. In this case, Ragefire should act as if it were a first-spawn Rage, and pop within 0-2 days. If anyone notices an announcement of Skyfire being "repopped", please let the list know of this, preferrably by posting here.
Camping Rage:
If you cannot be online for your turn at Rage (I.E. Out of town, RL emergency, sick and not playing or a dead computer)then the person behind you may take your spot and you fall one back. When the first two people on the list trade positions in this manner, the camp then belongs to the one who is now on top, and they do not have to switch places back later. Please post on this thread what you are doing though so that everyone is aware of your intentions.
This whole list requires the Honor System, from saying you have the Pearl, to showing you have your pearl in whatever limited way we can, to respecting each others turns. It will not be without a problem here or there, and I do not want to be judge and jury for those problems if we can help it. I hope to be only adding and removing names according to the rules in place.
Thanks to everyone that has made this such a great success so far. Lets keep Luclin the envy of all our Cleric brothers and sisters on other servers.
