Archlich Down

We were killing a few things when someone noticed that Rhag2 was popped. We hadn't yet been able to attempt the AL (he's like never up, tks Euros hihi huhu) so we figured we'd mosey over take a stab.

Killed Rhag2, evacced to entrance, cleared to AL and put him down.The fight was rather uneventful. No deaths, 49 people... it's healer intensive, but if we have the right clerics/druids on, seems to be a bit of a breeze mob.

More Sleepers and Stuff

We continue to kill just about everything we can. The only real new thing in the last few days came when we cleared ST once again but this time we were early enough and had enough people to take down the 4th Ancient (which was a first for us). Now that we are mostly full primal, Sleepers loot is hardly the best stuff we can get (with the exeception of a couple of possible drops), but it fills in some gaps in people's equipment and it's relatively easy and fast to do, so we'll continue to kill the ancients when it's convenient.

Quick Update

I'm going away on business for a few days so I figured I'd toss out a few quick tidbits in case our folks didn't know them (and before I forget them). Nothing really new has died since the last update. More of the same really. We've put some additional effort into completing the POP armor pieces that we've had molds and patterns for as well as getting a couple new ones of the weekend. We continue to work on getting more runes and other armor. I think we got a couple ST keys over the weekend as well but I forget who got what.

Lastly, Banditfist organized the creation of approximately 30odd Earings of Solstice kits that are being distributed per the officers priority listing on the boards.

Great job to all the folks that made these pieces possible. The tradeskill efforts and investments have been paying dividends in all areas of our game. Special thanks go to Derb (lead tailor), Borak (lead smith), Inqubus (lead baker), Quantmir (lead brewer) and our Tradeskill leader and lead potter, Banditfist.

Creator Down

It was our first attempt on one of the larger Shissra bosses, but for once, with the late patch issues and a later in the day server reboot, the Euros didn't get him. So we waited until we had at least 3 clerics and made a move on him. Our force of 45 people worked their way up the temple until we finally reached his room (picking up a Creator key on the way).

We killed all the adds, engaged the Creator, fought for what seemed like about 10-15 mins, killed the adds as they popped again, then re-engaged Creator, then he coughed up loot.

In the last 2 days, we've killed Zland and Kland:

ST Keys - Saveuriss and Boaw

On that front, all but one of our keyed melees has at least one primal weapon (and the one that's missing it would have it if he logged in from time to time). Most have a 1hander and a 2 hander or even 2 types of 1handers (for cosmetic reasons, vain melees). We have some new applicant melees who still need keys as well as a few of our less active melees, but the vast majority of the guild is keyed with over 60 keys secured now.

Killed more minis and tower bosses in BOT getting more glyphs, armor patterns and such. In addition, we picked up a few other nifty items (some we've gotten before) and among them was this:

So, S'up Factory and Halls of Honor

Sunday was a weird day. We'd been raiding a ton lately so we spent the day pvping and exping, not really organized to do much of anything. Then we looked around at 6PM and we had 45 people on (with applicants) which is like, unheard of for us with our average raid sizes of around 35ish. So we decided to kill some shit. We checked around and found something we'd been wanting to do for a while now.

Our little gnomey friend in POI was up to spawn Xanomech Nexmirthafen (the mech dragon). We had a few people online with the items necessary to spawn him, so we started the quest, followed the gnome and beat down the dragon. There were 59 of us, 9 of which were apps, by the time we got there (people just kept logging on, it was the wierdest thing). Killed it with 2 deaths, both to enrage which came up faster than people expected due to some manaburning toward the end.

So, after that was dead, we looked around for something else we'd been meaning to do, and set our sites on the glass dragon in POV. This was going to be a much tougher fight. Thankfully and unexpectedly, more of our folks just kept logging in and for purposes of getting as many people flagged as possible, everyone that could 2box did so and we maxxed out the raid at 72 (again, unheard of for us where our previous high raid number was 48).

Our first attempt at him, we got him to 1% when the last person died. We didn't pull him quite right at the outset and we had some aggro issues as our MT unfortuantely got feared. Also our rangers didn't have TS back yet as they'd used it on Xanomech and our AE heals weren't landing on people because of how spread out we were.

We changed up a few strategies, got our Trueshots back, buffed up and went at him again. We had probably around 10 casualties the second time, and most of those were from the adds afterwards. He was smoked in about a minute. We rezzed up our few fallen. Hailed our planar projection, and moved on down the underground tunnel to HOH.

Some other loot too but I forgot who got what.. something to Inqubus.

We then moved to ST which was fully popped for our first time ever. So we decided to clear the whole damn thing: from MOTG to all Warders with 28-30 people (only 2 clerics). We made the 3+ hour crawl from the entrance, all the way down to the Ancients, where Kerafym used to sleep.

All the ancients and FA were killed with 28 people and only 2 clerics in under an hour. We had very few deaths on them and they were relatively easy compared to most of the POP stuff we've done.

Anyway, after we were done with ST, we found that Kland had popped again (WW had crashed earlier in the day), so at like 3:30AM EST, we went and popped Kland with about 20 people.

ST Key - to Rubicant

Small Things

Got a few more ST keys (Radovia, Brem, Dechtere, Rubicant, etc.) and killed some more BOT Tower mobs and minis. Tons of spells and armor patterns/molds are flooding our coffers.

We've allocated 2 more POP armor pieces:

Planestriders Hauberk - to Syrrun

We have probably 6-8 more armor pieces yet to be distributed/created, though our biggest hold up right now is still a tailor for the leather/silk combines that are necessary to complete the quests.

In the course of picking up more glyphs and armor, Serran got a new toy as well:

Silly Stuff

Latest Haps

Let's see... where to start? First off, much fun was had up in Windsor, Canada as more than 30 VZers (mostly Zeph folks but some Defiants, TLHH and perhaps even a Torrent) made the trek to the frozen North for drinking and other assorted merriment. Some early pics have come back already but we're going to hold back on posting them here until I clear it with whoever is hosting them.

As such, the three day party cut into our productivity but still some stuff died and we had a few firsts on Sunday.

First off, we killed every tower boss in BOT back to back Sunday afternoon and evening. While we'd been farming 2 of the bosses religiously (almost nightly), we had our first kills on the lightning and water bosses. As with all bosses, sometimes they drop something cool... sometimes they drop nothing at all (other than a quest piece for Agnarr's key). On these clearings we got two particularly nice items:

Cap of Drowned Souls - to Drimdoff
Properties MAGIC ITEM LORE ITEM NO DROP
Type: Slots Armor: Head
Armor Class 18
Boosts DEX: +13 STA: +13 WIS: +15 HP: +100 MANA: +85 SV FIRE: +15 SV MAGIC: +20
Effect Flowing Thought II (Worn)
Weight & Size WT: 0.8 Size: SMALL
Class CLR, DRU, SHM
Race ALL
Recommended Level 61

Great Blade of Storms - to Chaunie
Properties MAGIC ITEM LORE ITEM NO DROP
Type: Slots Weapon: Primary, Secondary
Weapon Skill 1HS
Damage DMG: 14 DLY: 18 DPS: 16.11 (has damage bonus)
Boosts DEX: +8 WIS: +8 INT: +8 AGI: +8 HP: +85 SV COLD: +15
Effect Force Shock (Combat)
Weight & Size WT: 5.0 Size: MEDIUM
Class WAR, RNG, BRD, ROG
Race ALL
Recommended Level 56

We also picked up several runes and some armor molds/patterns (that we're still mostly deciding what the process is going to be for distribution on). The officers are in the process of identifying which classes can make the best use of which pieces of armor but one of the first things we noticed is that the ornate warrior BP is definitely a more siginficant step up over vindi/TOV than the other POP plate bps for other classes. As such, Chaunie received the first piece of ornate POP armor we've created:

Kizrak's Chestplate of Battle - to Chaunie
Properties MAGIC ITEM LORE ITEM NO DROP QUEST RELATED
Type: Slots Armor: Chest
Armor Class 63
Effect: Shield of the Arcane
Boosts STR: +10 DEX: +9 STA: +15 AGI: +6 HP: +115 SV DISEASE: +15 SV MAGIC: +10 SV POISON: +15
Weight & Size WT: 20.0 Size: LARGE
Class WAR
Race ALL
Obtained From Quest (L60)

As we complete our analysis, we will be identifying new owners of the five or six other pieces of quest pieces that we currently have. We're also in the process of tradeskilling more of the sheets, chains and swatches that we will need to complete their formation.

We also picked up one of these off the 7 or 8 minibosses (non-tower) we cleared.

Belt of Thunderous Auras - to Kaladath
Properties MAGIC ITEM LORE ITEM
Type: Slots Armor: Waist
Armor Class 7
Skill Mod None

Recommended Level 60

After killing more minis and tower bosses in BOT yesterday, we received a distress call from a guild that had wiped on a Fear break. We sent some folks down to sort them out and after doing so, we were in the neighborhood so we decided to try the Ring of Slime in CT. We'd never done it before but despite having only one cleric and having a slew of LDs for some reason, we completed the ring.

Acid Scarred Chain Tunic - to Neranja (app)
Properties MAGIC ITEM
Type: Slots Armor: Chest
Armor Class 40
Boosts STR: +3 DEX: +3 STA: +7 CHA: +3 WIS: +5 INT: +3 AGI: +3 HP: +50 MANA: +50 SV FIRE: +3 SV DISEASE: +3 SV COLD: +3 SV MAGIC: +3 SV POISON: +3

We then concluded the eve by flagging some folks for BOT who still lacked a few pieces.

Fun:

More Primal and Stuff

The last few days have been a little quiet. IV down, Grieg down, some more stuff in ST down. More ST keys, more BOT tower bosses down for level 65 spell runes, quest pieces and a few interesting items. We also got our first few patterns for POP armor (though the other pieces required to complete them are still a little ways off).

As a little status update, we now have more than 50 ST keys (and climbing fast) with only 8 melees out of those lacking their primal/prismatic weapons. We currently have a little over 20 people still unkeyed though only 7 of those are melees who need primal (the rest are casters and priests).

Our latest primalized folks include:

Sojirou - 1Hsomething
Womper - 2H axe
Hunney - Spear
Carkin - Bow

We also finished off Duab's bard epic (we just never got around to it until now).

Our friend Shaydim took a very cool pic of one of our Zland fights. Zland isn't terribly interesting, but the picture (given the lighting and composition) is just very cool. You can see it here.

In other news, many people are currently gathered in Windsor for a RL Zephyros get-together (probably close to 20+ people) and as such, the last few and next few days will not be as productive as usual given that most people won't be online very much. All the same, we hope our friends have good fun while there and we will soon have some RL pics to share on the site.
