Roadmap for the Knights of Narsil

This Roadmap was presented by Grayhat at the guild meeting on August 18th 2006.

1. Team-building
The aim is to build up main characters so as to be able to field a balanced winning team for all the Tier 0 dungeons. My assessment is that we will require the following classes:

Tank: Warrior
Healers: 1 x Priest; 1 x Resto Druid
DPS: 1 x Rogue; 1 x Hunter; 1 x Warlock; 1 x Mage
Utility: 1 x Paladin

Towards this goal, I would like you to put foreward the names of characters assigned to what I call Team Narsil so that your services can be called upon in the service of the alliance.

Doing so will also provide focus for the guild to assist in building up the characters i.e. gathering mats etc, items for the characters for crafting, quests so that characters are sufficiently equipped to handle the dangers of these dungeons.

2. Team Narsil Plus
Here we need to get players equipped with the where-withall to participate in the higher end dungeons i.e. 20-man, and eventually 40-man ones.
This require 2 development tracks:
a. Ventrilo equipping
b. Fire-resist gear

For Ventrilo - we need to get players up and running with this... microphones and headphones and the setup for raids.
FR gear - I will put up suggested equipment for each class on the website so that you can start looking out for these items.

3. The Middle Path
This is the mid-point which I want to add on the roadmap. We must not forget to have balance - and what I mean by this is that we msut not forget to have fun. We must not forget the others in the guild - to help them, to socialise with them, to be friends and family at the expense of our other defined goals. Towards this end, I ask that some runs be made for the up and coming members so that they feel part of the team. They should not feel left-out.

4. Hitchhiker
This is where we hitch onto the allianced guilds, in particlaur Order of the Red Rose. We want to retain our identity, and yet be able to particpate in planned endgame raids. This is the window and the opportunity. Here our goal is to be able to field a 5-man or 10-man team to contribute.

5. The Next Level
This is where we gear up and prepare for the trials of the impending Burning Crusades.

Recommended Addons

Things you ought to have if you want to participate in the 52-60 dungeons:

1. Group Calendar:
http://www.curse-gaming.com/en/wow/addons-2718-1-groupcalendar.html
Download current version: 2.2
Set to Manual Configuration; Channel name as "Narsil" (leading capitals) and password: "narsil"; set Trust to "Anyone who has access"
This addon allows you to view the guild's planned/scheduled activities. You can indicate your attendance for each of these events. This is recommended for all members of the guild.

2. CT-RaidAssist:
http://www.ctmod.net/raidassist.ct
CT_RaidAssist is an overall Raid Assistant. It allows you to easily monitor health and mana/energy/rage of not only your group, but anyone/everyone in your raid. It also provides you with several additional ways to increase your raids performance. Up to 5 raid members can be set to Main Tanks. These constantly report info about their target, keeping everybody updated on their performance, and helps coordinate actions.

3. Ventrilo
http://www.ventrilo.com/
Ventrilo is a Voice over IP (VoIP) group communications software widely used in online games. You need headphones/speakers and a microphone (if you wish to talk).
Download and use version 2.3
Our alliance guild (Order of the Red Rose) is hosting the server.
Server info: Sharp.typefrag.com
Port: 18357
Password: will be told to you ingame
Set a Hotkey to talk (I use Right CTRL key, for example)

4. Voice Overlay
I have found and tested this program which allows you to see who is talking on Ventrilo while in-game.
http://ui.worldofwar.net/ui.php?id=2075
I recommend you download from this site as it includes the required dll file.
Extract files to a folder you can find. Then I recommend you create a desktop shortcut to the exe of the folder.

I know all this could be quite technical for some of you. But I'm always here to help so don't be shy to ask if you have problems setting these up. :)
