Tier-based Content & Ranking System

Over the years, we at Lodge have came up with so called "tier-based" content and ranking system, which is based on the content difficulty and the skill-level of people tackling those. This system which is primarily catering towards Endgame progression, content-wise is designed in an increasing difficulty fashion, from Tier-1 to Tier-5, each tier having certain set of Midgame and Endgame content in them, also with certain requirements to attain those content. General idea is to assess the members of our community (guilds members, guests and alike) through different means and determine their Tier-based ranks. 

Following tier-based ranks are in effect throughout our community:

• Neophyte represents Tier-1 clearance,
• Practicus is Tier-2,
• Adeptus Minor means Tier-3,
• Adeptus Major is assigned to Tier-4,
• and finally, Dominus Liminis goes to Tier-5.

Neophyte (Tier-1)

Content:
# Craglorn non-HM vTrials
# vet Imperial City Prison + its HM

# vet Ruins of Mazzatun + its HM

Requirements:
For all:
# Being CP 300+

For DDs:
# min 40k dps on Trial Dummy

For Tanks and Healers:
# [Fresh Tanks/Healers only] Having at least 4 full (7/7) crafted tanking/healing sets ready. Dungeon/Arena/Trial/Overland sets are not counted. This generally means Tier-1 player needs to make sure they have crafted sets sorted out, instead of going cheap and neglecting small things like this.
