Hello all you wonderful people! This guide was originally designed by FireonIce, a Moderator here in this lovely guild. Many of you know and are well acquainted with her. We at LoEP are accustomed to having a neat, organized environment within our guild walls. This is something every member does it's best to uphold, however it has been noticed from time to time that there is sometimes a distinct lack in protocol with regards to how to go about getting a donation for your quest. Because of that, she designed this handy, helpful guide:

1. Try and follow guild rules and both spell and punctuate your posts properly so that we can keep our reputation as a high quality guild.

2. Give the people a better reason for donating then "omgwtflolol i need gold so that i can buy sum kewl new sh!t on gaia plzplzplz i want stuff so gimme!"

3. Make an official thread that includes: A welcome post/table of contents (optional), a list of the items you are questing for and a posts bearing the names of your donors and bumpers (remember every little bit helps so the bumps count too).

4. Don't just bump away at your own stuff. It has been found that people who are generous with their bumping will receive plenty in return! Spend some time bumping a fellow members quest thread and they may come and bump yours back!

5. If someone can't donate to you, take it in stride. Not everyone will donate and you will probably reach a dry spell where you will not receive any donations at all. Just keep bumping and it'll come to you.

6. BE POLITE! This cannot be stressed enough. Be polite in your thread even if someone else isn't. If someone is being a jackass, the Moderators, will deal with them accordingly. It is not your job to take care of the jerks of the world.

7. Don't go into other people's quest threads (or any thread for that matter) asking for a donation. You've made your thread and that's enough of a hint that you would like some assistance with your quest.

I hope this has been helpful to those of you looking for help/who don't know how to do this.
