Hoff Operating Procedure
Daily Operations & Compliance · The HOP
1. Purpose
The HOP outlines the daily responsibilities of all Guild members and moderators for Curse of the Allflame (3.29). Worker goals prioritize league-relevant farming (Charts, Voyages, Ducats, Allflame crafting inputs), core Mercenary and Abyss/Legion scarab operations, boss fragment execution, and inventory discipline under the new stack-size and scarab meta.
Operators are required to perform the following tasks:
- Execute Boss Fragments / Pinnacle invitations at 20:00 EST (Maven, Uber, Abyss pinnacle, and Domain of Timeless Conflict as assigned).
- Run Prepared Maps (scarab-juiced Abyss, Legion, Trarthan/Mercenary, and Chart routes) and deposit loot/logs to the Guild Tab by 19:00 EST.
- Deposit all priority scarabs, Charts, Ducats, and Enshrouding Crystals into the Guild Stash at 09:00 EST.
- Log time spent on each task in 15-minute increments, reporting to Hoff hourly from 09:00 EST to 03:00 EST.
- Meet daily worker goals (Section 4.1) for the 3.29 private-league economy.
- Provide a clear disciplinary pathway for non-compliance.
- Follow HOP 1.1 guild loot and resource rules (Section 10) — applies to all Private League members.
2. Scope
This SOP applies to:
- All Guild members designated as Fragment Operators, Map Operators, Voyage Operators, or Scarabs Managers.
- Moderators responsible for daily monitoring and reporting.
- The Guild’s finance and inventory teams who receive scarab, Chart, Ducat, and fragment reports.
- Private League roster members competing on Curse of the Allflame ladders.
- All Private League members under HOP 1.1 (Section 10). Agreement to the full HOP, including HOP 1.1, is required before invite.
3. Definitions
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Boss Fragment | Invitation, set, or fragment used to open a pinnacle boss (Maven, Uber bosses, Abyss pinnacle, Domain of Timeless Conflict). Outcomes and surplus fragments are logged to the Guild Tab. |
| Prepared Map | A map juiced per Guild strat: Abyss (up to 5 Abyss scarabs), Legion, Trarthan/Mercenary, or Chart-farming layouts. Replaces legacy “Influenced Map” terminology for 3.29. |
| Chart / Voyage | Curse of the Allflame league items. Charts are found across Wraeclast; linked Charts form a Voyage—a multi-node seafloor run with amplified rewards. Ducats and Allflame craft inputs come primarily from this loop. |
| Ducat | League currency from the seafloor used for Allflame warp/twist crafting belowdecks on The Sovereign. |
| Trarthan Scarab | New scarab line for Mercenaries of Trarthus (core in 3.29): base, of Infamy, of Renown, of Surprising Alliances. Priority inventory for Map Operators. |
| Enshrouding Crystal | Legion currency (Karui, Imperial, Maraketh, Templar, Vaal) dropped by map Generals; used to enshroud Uniques for Domain of Timeless Conflict permutation crafts. |
| Atlas Anomaly | Endgame nodes (e.g. Reflecting Mist, Nameless Seer) that do not consume map items, fragments, or scarabs. Run when available; do not “save” them for juicing. |
| Guild Tab | In-game interface for posting daily logs, fragment lists, and Voyage status. |
| Guild Stash | Central storage for scarabs, Charts, Ducats, Enshrouding Crystals, boss fragments, and bulk currency (most stackables now stack to 10,000). |
| Hoff | The appointed time-keeping and daily compliance officer. |
| 15-Minute Interval | A time block used for tracking task duration. |
| Private League | Guild exclusive / competitive tier on Curse of the Allflame (Standard, Hardcore, or SSF variants as designated by Exec). |
| HOP 1.1 | Guild loot, gear, crafting, and resource rules binding all Private League members. Agreement required before Private League invite. |

4.1 Daily Worker Goals (Curse of the Allflame 3.29)
Goals are minimums for full private-league participation. Moderators may raise quotas during peak economy windows (first two weeks of league and after major mid-league patches). Shortfalls must be noted in the hourly log.
| Role | Daily Goal | Success Criteria |
|---|---|---|
| Map Operator | Complete assigned Prepared Map block (default: 24–40 maps depending on strat). | Maps run with correct scarab set; atlas progress / Anomaly clears logged; bulk loot sorted to Guild Stash affinities. |
| Voyage Operator | Bank Charts and complete at least one full Voyage (or equivalent Chart spend per routing sheet). | Ducats deposited; seafloor rewards catalogued; no unauthorized Allflame crafts on Guild items. |
| Fragment Operator | Execute the 20:00 EST boss/pinnacle queue; clear leftover invitations from the day. | Kill confirmations + fragment deltas on Guild Tab before 21:00 EST; failed runs noted with cause. |
| Scarabs Manager | Full morning deposit + evening reconciliation of scarabs, Charts, Ducats, Enshrouding Crystals. | Priority bins stocked for next day’s Map / Voyage loadouts; zero personal retention of Guild-bound currency items after 09:00 EST deposit window. |
| All Operators | 100% filled 15-minute time logs 09:00–03:00 EST; daily sheet uploaded by 03:30 EST. | No blank intervals without Hoff pre-approval; screenshot evidence for major deposits. |
4.2 3.29 Scarab Priority Matrix (Guild Default)
Unless Exec posts a temporary override, Map Operators draw scarabs in this order. Abyss is a primary 3.29 profit line (exclusive Abyssal Jewels / Stygian Vises, reworked pits, new pinnacle). Mercenaries are core content with full Atlas + scarab support. Legion supports Enshrouding Crystal crafts in the Domain.
| Priority | Scarab / Item Line | Worker Notes |
|---|---|---|
| P0 | Abyss scarabs (base up to 5; Multitudes; of Crystals; of the Consort) | Default juicing set. Extra Abyss mods add pits, not extra separate Abysses. |
| P1 | Trarthan Scarabs (base, Infamy, Renown, Surprising Alliances) | Mercenary farming / Warrant trading. Unique gear on Renown maps is high value early. |
| P2 | Legion-enabling scarabs + Enshrouding Crystal stockpile | Feed Domain permutation crafts; Generals drop more Timeless Splinters on average. |
| P3 | General map juicing scarabs (quantity / pack size / other mechanics) | Only after P0–P2 bins meet next-day Map Operator draw. |
| P0 League | Charts, Ducats, Allflame craft inputs | Currency-class assets; Voyage Operator owns consumption, Scarabs Manager owns banking. |
5. Procedure
5.1 Daily Time Table
| Time (EST) | Activity | Responsible | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|

5.2 Task Execution Checklist
1. Scarabs & League Asset Deposit (09:00)
- Verify counts on personal inventory (scarabs by type, Charts, Ducats, Enshrouding Crystals).
- Transfer to Guild Stash into priority bins (Section 4.2).
- Record timestamp, quantities, and source (maps / Betrayal / Voyage / trade) in the Scarabs Log sheet.
- Note: Currency, fragments, and most stackables may stack up to 10,000 — still log by type for audit.
2. Prepared Maps (by 19:00)
- Pull scarab set from Guild Stash per assigned strat (Abyss / Trarthan / Legion / other).
- Complete required map count; clear any spawned Atlas Anomalies the same session when practical.
- Record map completion status, scarabs consumed, and notable drops (jewels, Uniques, crystals).
3. Charts & Voyages (ongoing / by 19:00)
- Deposit spare Charts; only assemble Voyages on approved routing.
- On The Sovereign: place Allflame lanterns, clear seafloor nodes, bank Ducats and high-value chests.
- Allflame crafting (belowdecks ghost outcomes) only with a Moderator craft ticket — never free-roll Guild bases.
4. Boss Fragment Upload (19:00)
- List invitations/fragments available (Maven, Ubers, Abyss pinnacle access, Domain sets, etc.).
- Upload list to Guild Tab under “Daily Fragments.”
- Capture screenshot of fragment inventory confirmation.
5. Boss Fragment Execution (20:00)
- Launch assigned boss/pinnacle content.
- Monitor completion; confirm success and drops in log.
- Return surplus fragments and exclusive drops to Guild Stash after the session.
6. Time Tracking (Hourly)
- Break each task into 15-minute blocks.
- Log block start/end time, task description, and any notes (including worker-goal progress).
- Submit log to Hoff by the end of each hour.
5.3 Logging Format (Excel or Google Sheet)
| Hour | 15-Min Block | Task | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 09:00 | 09:00–09:15 | Scarab Deposit | 25 Abyss + 8 Trarthan transferred |
| 09:00 | 09:15–09:30 | Scarab Deposit | 12 Charts, 340 Ducats banked |
| 14:00 | 14:00–14:15 | Prepared Maps (Abyss) | 4 maps; 2 Stygian Vises; Anomaly cleared |
| … | … | … | … |
Each block must be populated; blank cells indicate omission.
6. Reporting & Accountability
- Daily Report – The completed log sheet must be uploaded to the Guild’s shared drive by 03:30 EST each day, including worker-goal pass/fail.
- Weekly Summary – Hoff compiles a weekly summary of all logs, highlighting discrepancies, delays, and throughput of scarabs, Charts, Ducats, Enshrouding Crystals, and boss fragments.
- Audit – Every month, a random audit of the Guild Stash will verify scarab and league-currency counts versus logged amounts. 3.29 stack-size increases do not reduce audit rigor.
- Economy Review – Next formal HOP review is scheduled for 24 Aug 2026 or after a mid-league GGG balance patch affecting scarabs, Mercenaries, Abyss, or Allflame rewards.
7. Disciplinary Plan
| Level | Trigger | Action | Documentation |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Verbal Warning | Minor delay (≤ 5 min), a single 15-min interval omission, or minor worker-goal shortfall with notice. | Informally warn the member during the next guild meeting. | Note added to member’s record. |
| 2. Written Warning | Two minor delays, a single major omission (≥ 15 min), unauthorized Allflame craft on Guild items, or repeated goal misses. | Issue a written warning, email to the member. | Attach warning to member’s file. |
| 3. Probation | Three minor delays or one major delay / inventory diversion. | Place member on 30-day probation; require daily check-in with moderator. | Document probation start and end dates. |
| 4. Suspension | Multiple probation failures or repeated major delays. | Suspend member from active participation for 7 days. | Suspend record in system. |
| 5. Removal from Private League | Persistent non-compliance after suspension or disciplinary escalation. | Terminate member’s status in the Private League; notify member in writing. | Remove member from league roster; archive records. |
All disciplinary actions must be communicated clearly and recorded in the Guild’s member database. HOP 1.1 violations may skip progressive levels (see Section 10).
8. Records Management
- Scarabs & League Assets Log – Maintained for 12 months, archived annually (scarabs, Charts, Ducats, Enshrouding Crystals).
- Time Logs – Retained for 6 months, summarized monthly.
- Fragment / Pinnacle Logs – Retained for 6 months (kill confirms and invitation deltas).
- Disciplinary Records – Stored in secure guild database with access limited to moderators.
- HOP 1.1 Acknowledgement Log – Invite agreements for all Private League members (Appendix F).

| 2.2 | 21 Jul 2026 | HOP 1.1 expanded to apply to all Private League members (removed member-specific rider). | Guild Exec |
10. HOP 1.1 — Guild Loot & Resource Rules
HOP 1.1 is binding on all Private League members. These rules apply in addition to all other HOP sections. Every player must agree to the following before invite. Non-agreement = no invite. Non-compliance after invite = immediate kick from the Private League (and may escalate under Section 7).
| Rule | Requirement |
|---|---|
| 1. Big Drops | Valuable boss drops, uniques, and loot from guild-funded fragments/maps are guild loot. The Guild decides who receives them — not the finder by default. |
| 2. One Build Only | Gear is for your current build only. No stashing for rerolls, next builds, or experimental projects (e.g. Burning Arrow Champion, Locus Mines, or similar side builds). |
| 3. Guild First | Gear goes where it helps the guild most. If multiple members need an item, playtime and contribution are weighed — or spin the wheel if Exec directs. |
| 4. Craft Smart | Get a second opinion (Moderator / Hoff / Exec) before burning crafting mats chasing mirror-tier outcomes. |
| 5. Return Borrowed Gear | Borrowed gear must be returned to the Guild Stash. Do not log off while holding guild-owned equipment. |
| 6. Use Mats Wisely | Do not burn guild resources on inefficient farming or crafting. Example: white Essence maps where Chaos is hard to sustain. |
| 7. Break the Rules = Kick | Zero tolerance. Breaking HOP 1.1 results in removal from the Private League. No progressive warning ladder is required for HOP 1.1 violations. |
10.1 Acknowledgement (Invite Gate)
Before a Private League invite is issued, the player must confirm agreement to the full HOP, including HOP 1.1, in writing (Discord / guild channel / signed note to Hoff). Hoff logs the acknowledgement date and member name. Invite without logged acknowledgement is invalid.
10.2 Enforcement
- Moderators and Hoff monitor Guild Stash, craft logs, and fragment-funded drop reports for HOP 1.1 compliance for all members.
- Suspected violations are escalated to Guild Exec the same day.
- Confirmed HOP 1.1 breach = kick from the Private League roster; gear and remaining guild assets are reclaimed.
- Section 7 progressive discipline does not delay a HOP 1.1 kick; Exec may still apply additional sanctions.
