So, just finished my personal goal in this game; which was having 100 guided games completed as a guide. The emblem [Wish Granter] tracks the number of encounters you and your clanmates have done without breaking your oathkeeper. It’s true that seekers tend to wait about 20-45mins in queue looking for a clan to guide them, and some wait even longer than an hour. I know there will be a few of you who will raid report me and say that RR says that I have about 90 done, but that’s because there have been a few guitar errors and raid report does not track that, unfortunately. That other downside with doing this is that if someone disconnects mid-raid they will have an oathbreaker debuff, which will not allow them to rejoin the raid for approximately 45minutes, so there’s that too.

Lots of clans do not bother with guided games, simply due to the lack of incentive. Not a lot of people want to pick up a rookie and teach them an entire raid over an LFG or clanmate. Even so, if you’re lacking a person to start a raid up and are about to LFG for a sixth, why not try starting up a guided games and see how that goes. There are a lot of seekers who have the potential of being great raiders and possibly clanmates, if given the chance that is. Just one tip of advice, if you do end up deciding on going into guided games as a guide, please know all the encounters. I have had seekers telling me that they were the ones teaching their guides on how to do the raid and that’s the last thing a seeker who waited an hour needs in their run.

Lastly, I’d like to give a HUGE shout out to ALL my clanmates (The Doki Doki Raid Club). Without them, this goal of mine would be impossible to achieve. I appreciate all of them for sticking with me and helping the community out, even when the rewards were not incentive at all. We made lots of good memories, met lots of great seekers and we even took a few of them into our clan because they meshed well with my clan (looking at you pelicans__!). Anyways, I hope that the people reading this will try guided games as guides, the queues for guides are insanely short (about 3-5 minutes at worst). And who knows, you might meet a seeker who you’ll invite into your clan. Hopefully guided games will finally exit its beta stage with more incentivizing rewards and become a more utilized option where Sherpas can help rookies out more often.
