The Tribe defines dungeons in three stages:
- Unfarmed: Newest and most difficult dungeons based on the level of gear and raiding experience a majority of our raiders have. Heavy rules and restrictions are placed on signups to ensure those who have worked their way to this level and have the highest level of gear and experience in the guild are put forward at the highest priority
- Farmed: Each boss in the dungeon has been defeated at least 3 times without glitch or fluke. Optional bosses are not included. Farmed content may still be scheduled as needed and will have minimal restrictions. Farmed content that is still scheduled give priority to those who are at the dungeon's level.
- TPUG: TPUG, or Tribe Pick-Up Group, is when a dungeon is on farm status and must be removed from the schedule to make more room for unfarmed and newer farmed content. Any dungeon on TPUG status can be scheduled on off days by regular membership as long as it does not interfere with any other previously scheduled runs. Only basic Tribe raiding rules apply.
Progression into unfarmed content is determined, by not limited to, the number of raiders who have geared and are ready for the next level of dungeon. Progression is NOT determined by the previous dungeon reaching farm status. At times dungeons must be farmed for a period of time before the next level can be reached.
As stated Farm Status is determined when each boss in a dungeon is beaten at least 3 times without it being attributed to a glitch.
TPUG status is determined when the oldest farm status dungeon has been on the schedule long enough and new dungeons or newer farmed dungeons need to take its place.
The Tribe leadership must make these choices to ensure too much time is not wasted and progression is put to a halt. Sometimes it is not favorable for a dungeon to go off the schedule but it will still be necessary.
