Proc is a CR-based 120 point DD.

Upcoming 8th shawl battles will soon be scheduled for Einan and Svenuce, both of which are nearly ready. I'm not sure who else has their 7th and is working on the 8th shawl.

Saturday Silliness

Killed VS for ha has... We haven't done him in like 8 months and we thought he might be getting too comfy. Staff to Celecarag. Myrko greaves to Tweene.

We then spent the day in UP. We tried to spawn Doomshade, but it seemed he wasn't spawnable. Then we moved to Rumblecrush and got beat down badly on our first attempt, even though we got him singly. We didn't have the secondary healing support to handle the rampages every 3 seconds and we lost most of the few healers we had before a slow could be landed. Next time we'll have more defensive warriors present and I'm sure it will go differently.

Following that, three TLHH and one ED (playing a friend's character) spent the day hunting Xanit and a few other darks whereever we could find them. The score by midnight was Xanit: 1 HECK: 23. We even had some battles where we were outnumbered 8 to 4, and still won (that was the fight where we had our only loss). We killed 2 Xanit inside Neriak at the bank. We killed them in Skyfire, in TT, in Dawnshroud, in ME, in DL. Whereever we got a report of them being somewhere, we went there killed them. Obviously in the course of our Xanit hunting probably at least that number of non-Xanit's died at our hands.

Wrath and Vengeance got some love from us as well. Six of us heard SS were in Sebillis but as it turns out W&V was somewhere deep. We first thought they were at king based upon what tracking was telling us. So we worked our way down there. Alas, it was uncamped. So we egressed to entrance and determined they were in the crypt. We didn't have a rogue at that time but as luck would have it, a non-HECK rogue popped into TT as we were planning our next move. We asked him to open the door to the crypt for us, which he did. So we silently moved through the crypt down to the emporers room... which of course, is another locked door. So we quietly waited for W&L to finish in the emp's room and for the door to open. When it did, we slaughtered their rogue, shaman and warrior immediately, but a few had retreated back behind the locked door and a few of our guys followed. It was Rahku (human) and Rahksie (human) inside with Banditfist and Olorus. Bandit was killing Rahku when he eventually got a little hurt and then HTed by Rahksie. I had Rahku targeted and sent my pet in to have his way with him, which, it eventually did. Olo then cohed Thrack in to beat down Rahksie. While that fight was going on, their cleric had come back from camping out and they conceeded defeat. We were happy to let them LNS but we still wanted Rahksie to die. So we let the cleric revive the others while the fight was still going on inside the emporer's room. Finally, their rogue opened the door to kill bodies and my pet and a well timed nuke put Rahksie down for good. :)

Last Week

Well, I was out of town and peeps forgot to update the site. As it turns out, not a whole hell of a lot happened though (perhaps that's why). Mostly people exped and PVPed but a few mobs dropped:

Rhag 1 Killed

A 45 minute gathering and kill of Rhag 1 happened last night:

Praetorius got some sleeves that aren't listed on eqmaps.com

Five level 60 spells, not sure of all of them but Raston got Brell's Mountainous Barrier.

Shawl Craziness and Another Server First

Wednesday night Fazdazen of the Last Humble House became the first person on Vallon with the 8th Coldain prayer shawl. It represents probably more than a hundred hours invested in trade skills and one nasty final battle.

I know several people in HECK will be ready for the final battle soon enough. Among them will be Banditfist, Einan, Vythe and myself (Svenuce).

A couple groups also went to Chardok this evening and beat up the darkies and got Laticia her Mansi Herb for her epic.

Monday/Tuesday

Monday night some peeps went to Hate to try and get some shattered emeralds of corruption. They came back with no emeralds, but did get a mage staff that will likely be MQed for Aglamarth.

Tuesday night, another quiet night, we killed Trak.

Sunday Night - Mother's Day
We had a rather slow start to the day because we basically were just relaxing due to the holidays. We didn't plan anything because we weren't sure if we'd get the people online :)

Well...at around 5ish a bunch of people headed to ToV (HoT) and started getting some gear. It just happened that for some reason we had a TONNE of healers on and well actually a TONNE of people on. So...we did the only thing we could do :) Kill a big mob. We went after Gozzrem in WToV.

We headed to Gozzrem at around 7pm. The first fight went fairly well and we shouldn't have lost. No way. There was ZERO red in Gozzrem's health bar when we just plainly ran out melee's :(

 
Slap the Admin

I've been slacking on updates of late largely because I haven't had the time to be online very much this week. Tuesday night I believe people just exped and pvped. Nothing really terribly interesting to report.

On Wednesday, amid the major patch and other shenanigans, folks went to Fear to try to sort out a few more epic pieces. Multiple golems were killed and I believe Doner got his ball of everliving golem (leaving him only with the Queen to complete his epic) and Vinsant got the item he needed from one of the golems. Spirit of Shissar wasn't up, but a non-HECK shaman was along and got his tear for his epic. Then strangely, the mob spawned again and Crickett has an additional tear to MQ (assuming it can be).

Velk Down

About 30 peeps headed to Velk's Lab to take down the sorcerer. He went down with our only casualty being Bryer, who LOHed Chaunie in the opening seconds of the fight to keep her alive. He was rezzed back into battle a few seconds later so it was almost a flawless victory again.

We wanted to try Sontalak today but we didn't quite have the key people we needed. Seems like it wasn't meant to be. So we decided to split up, exp, pvp, whatever for a few hours and see what kind of resources we had later in the day. Kallo logged on and asked for some assistance on Faydedar, so we gathered 18 people and put him down with two casualties (damn overnuking casters).

After Fay, Olorus organiced two to three groups of our high levels to crawl around Akheva. Killed a few big named mobs (level 61+) but guess what they dropped? For example, what do you think this guy dropped? Nothing... not even a single spell. Ghey. :/

It was fun crawling around to the different areas though. Once you get really deep there are some huge rooms filled with neat mobs. Made for some exciting pulls and big fights. Lots of fun.

General Hysteria

Yesterday, the big doings revolved around Kith Forrest and General V'hgera. We had two rogues ready for the general for their epics, and three more rogues ready to finish their quest for the mask of the Coercer (high-elf mask, which as mentioned below is a server first).

The general died fives times. Leisha, Halflander and Tweene (non-HECK) finished the general for their epics. Leisha is now completely done while Halflander still needs a few robes. Not sure, what Tweene needs, if anything, but is still only an applicant to a HECK guild. Big grats to all of them.

Now, for the masks, Talyen and Xanroth completed their masks. Grats to both of them on this server first.

Also, Faydedar was killed for Catoine, making him our latest epic druid.

Later in the evening, a couple groups went crawling through Akheva Ruins to do some exploring. They found many new mobs that we had not seen before (or seen listed on spoiler sites). We'll go back again later this week for some closer looks.

HECK's First, Server First

Ok, it's kinda weak by server first standards (and we're almost positive it's a server first though you never can tell), but our rogues and bards wanted some new toys. Thus we popped over to Highhold Pass to take out Stanos, the level 65 rogue guildmaster, with an eye towards completing the alternate rogue epic, the Mask of the Coercer (high elf illusion mask). A few of our rogues and bards prepped themselves to be ready for this step.

 
Couple Days Update

Lets see. Monday I think we spent the vast majority of our time PVPing. OT, the Hole, Skyfire, Chardok were all hit. None of our enemies (both light and dark) were left standing. For example, after clearing SS out of the Hole for the second time of the day (they just straight up evaced the third time we came in), we decided to put together a group for Einan to do one of his final turn-ins for his chanter epic. Chaunie, myself, Baand, Einan, Coram and Ciladen trekked down to undead city to pay Polzin Mrid a visit. As a result, he completed his epic that day, so grats to Einan.

In other news, Fazdazen's vigil in Kedge for his torch off Undertow continued. Oddly he took a couple deaths but in the end, got his torch. He's just waiting for his Peg Cloak MQ person to log on and complete his epic, becoming HECK's 5th epic mage and TLHH's 4th. Tuesday rolled around and we kept an eye on the Statue of Rallos Zek. Xanit was having a go at it but we were hoping to be there if something happened.

In the mean time, a band of about seven or eight people were PVPing around Norrath. The Hole, Toxx and Paineel were yet again cleansed by our forces. We then ported to Skyfire in search of PVP and possibly Ragefire. We didn't find Rage, but the 7 of us found 17 DDWs. We had a great battle fighting them for more than an hour with just the 7 of us. Svenuce died first (damn shammies) and despite many deaths on their side, their numbers kept growing as they called in reinforcements to defend their camp.

It was all great fun... The "killed" on both sides put up /afk tags and took care of any mobs that happened to get involved. Then Rage spawned while we were pvping. Then things got serious. Some Xanit and Dissent showed up to assist DDW and HECK forces ported into the zone. At this point I had to log (wife came home) and I was on LNS for another 10 mins anyway so couldn't participate.

As it turns out, DDW, wiped on Rage while PVP was still happening. Now I wasn't there, but from what I'm told, they opted to spawn the dragon and try to kill it before more HECK arrived. HECK moved in in force and Shaydim finally got his cleric epic finished. I believe Raejin is now next in line for Rage (so get campin'). The Rage thing took priority over Statue, so when Xanit moved out, Defiant moved in and downed him. Oh well. Next time. :)
