Paying for PoS looting rights?
As an unguilded paladin who doesn't usually have time to commit to a several hours long raid (and who probably wouldn't be needed anyway), I was wondering if it is logistically possible to buy looting rights to some pally drops in Sky? I've never been to the zone so I don't really understand how the islands work, but if I was looking for something from Bazzt Zzzt would I be physically able to head up there and grab it if it dropped? Or do you kinda need to be along for the raid for that to work out? If that is possible, how would it work?

Outlook not so good...
Paladins attending the raid will get loot rights to their class quest items. Rotting Paladin quest items most often go to alts. Sky isn't normally farmed for plat bounties. Interesting people have the plat farmed up to want to pay for Sky drops but don't have time to attend Sky raids... | ||

Plane of Sky is a progressive raid. To progress from one island to the next you need to make a key from items the mobs drop as you go. The keys are no drop and no rent and they disappear when you leave the zone. Unless you are part of the raid, it's unlikely you'll be able to get any rots from an island higher than 2, since island 2 key can be bought from the vendor there.

Most of the guilds on this server that raid have one specific day they do sky, the raids really don't take THAT long when everything is already popped. Just find a guild who you like to hang out with that has a sky night that suits your schedule and you're good to go. EQ Raids don't take days anymore, too much dps, too much knowledge, and too much zerg. Velious raids will take longer, but nothing like they used to.

Ok thanks for the replies. Kinda what I figured. Maybe I'll find the time to get up there one of these days.
As to the bizarre implication that I've obtained plat through illicit means, I've got less than 5k saved up. I'm just thinking ahead and deciding how obtainable that shiny blade of the ocean really is given real life commitments...

There was no implication that you RMT. It was that you have time to farm the amount of plat that would be needed to purchase loot rights but no time to attend a 3 hour sky raid. /shrug

Hmm. If it really is only three hours, then I could probably make the time for it. My understanding was that it would be closer to double that amount. Is three hours pretty standard or is that for the most elite guilds?
Sorry for assuming you were accusing me of worse than just not being consistent in my reasoning haha.

In other words, you don't have enough money to buy what you want. Better to just make friends and tag along.
