Members put their name down
The council posts the items the guild is farming. Members sign up with an interest level and a note — everyone sees every name, so expectations are set before anything drops.
Loot council
Run a loot council your members actually trust
A loot council is a group of guild leadership that decides who receives contested drops, weighing attendance, need, and what each member has received recently. Guild Vault replaces the loot council spreadsheet with a public farm board: members sign up on the items they want, the council decides with real data beside every name, and every award is recorded with its reasoning.
Use it to end loot drama before it starts — everyone can see who signed up, who received what, and why every decision was made.
Built to reduce officer admin
Guild Vault focuses on the repetitive work guild leaders do every week: scheduling, attendance, roster upkeep, loot records, applications, Discord posts, and follow-up reporting.

Who It Is For
- Guilds that run a loot council or soft-reserve sheet and are tired of maintaining spreadsheets by hand.
- Officers who want decisions they can defend — with attendance and loot history in front of them, not from memory.
- Communities coming from RCLootCouncil that want out-of-game, game-agnostic planning between raids.
What It Automates
- Attendance percentages come from voice-verified event attendance — including attendance at the specific farm event a list is linked to.
- Recent-loot counts come from the award history itself, so "who got something lately" is never a guess.
- Award announcements post to Discord automatically and mention the winner when their account is linked.
- Council votes tally per drop and reset automatically after each award.
- A spin-the-wheel picker turns coin-flip decisions into a moment the whole guild can watch.

How it works
Sign up, decide with context, show your work
Loot councils fail when decisions look arbitrary. Guild Vault makes the whole loop visible — from the first sign-up to the reasoning behind every award.
2
The council decides with real data
Beside every sign-up: overall attendance, attendance at that specific farm, recent loot received, and rank. Council members can cast advisory votes — or spin the loot wheel when it is genuinely a toss-up.
3
Every decision is on the record
Awards are logged with reasoning in a public history and announced in Discord with the winner tagged. Repeat drops stay on the same item, so the queue keeps moving week after week.
Workflow depth
Built around real guild work
Guild Vault is organized around the jobs officers repeat every week, from getting members to show up on time to turning post-event records into useful guild history.
Public farm board
Item lists members sign up on with per-guild interest levels (Need, Minor Upgrade, Off-spec — fully customizable) and notes for the council.
Decision context
Attendance %, farm-specific attendance, recent loot received, last award date, and rank shown beside every signed-up name.
Repeat-drop aware
Items persist across farm runs and can be awarded multiple times — tier tokens, banked copies, and weekly drops all live on one row with a full award trail.
Council voting
One advisory vote per council member per drop, with live tallies — and optional anonymous voting when officers prefer it.
Discord announcements
Awards post to your chosen channel with the winner mentioned, and new board items are announced so sign-ups fill fast.
Permanent public history
Every award with its reasoning, filterable by member and list — the transparency log that keeps a loot council fair.
Questions
Common questions
What is a loot council?
A loot council is a group of guild leadership that decides who receives contested loot drops, instead of using random rolls or point systems. Councils typically weigh attendance, how big an upgrade the item is, and what each member has received recently.
Loot council vs DKP — which should my guild use?
They are different philosophies: DKP lets members earn and spend points, while a loot council applies leadership judgment per drop. Guild Vault includes both systems and they coexist — many guilds council the rare contested drops and use DKP or auctions for everything else.
How do you keep a loot council fair?
Transparency. In Guild Vault every sign-up is public, the council sees attendance and recent-loot data beside every name, and every award is recorded with its reasoning in a history all members can read.
Is this an RCLootCouncil alternative?
It complements it. RCLootCouncil handles in-raid loot popups inside World of Warcraft; Guild Vault runs the out-of-game side — standing farm boards, sign-ups between raids, decision history, and Discord announcements — and works for any game.
Does the loot council work with Discord?
Yes. Award announcements post to a channel you choose and mention the winner when their Discord is linked, and new board items are announced automatically. Discord features are part of Guild Vault Premium.
Which games does it support?
Any game. Items are free text and interest levels are configurable per guild, so the board works for World of Warcraft, Throne and Liberty, or any MMO where guilds distribute contested loot.
