Molten Core Breached

Tonight we took our first stab at Molten Core. We ran a joint raid with Twilight Guardians where we brought a little more than half of the members of the raid. The run was suitably challenging as we learned the ins and outs of each of the mob types.

We crawled into the imp caves and up to Lucifron. We took a few stabs at Luci and did better each time, but it was getting late and we had some equipment damage issues so we had to call it quits for the run with Luci still alive.

In any event, he'll fall next time and it will go faster and smoother now that we have a base of people who know what to expect. Many thanks to our partners on the raid. We're looking forward to our next venture.

Scholomance Clear

Well, this update is a little late because we actually cleared it last week the day after clearing Strathmore. Since then we've done both instances tons of times for some variety in our BRS farming/Onyxia keying.

Despite a couple departures, we're now able to fairly consistantly field four groups of max level peeps nightly for instance farming. We'll continue to work on our keying objectives and get the next dozen people or so in their 50s up to level 60 ASAP.

Once we're able to field a full 40 and our tanks are in the appropriate HP/AC range, we'll start taking a look at Molten Core in Zeph-only formats. We're trying to get as well positioned level-wise, gear-wise and class balance-wise as possible before the Battlegrounds are released. We're getting there in levels and I'm very pleased with our class balance mostly, but gear we have a ways to go in.

Lastly, we are looking to expand our ranks slightly and are seeking like minded players to join us. In particular, we're looking for a few more good mages and warlocks (though hardcore players with the right attitudes will find a home regardless of class). For more information regarding our application process, requirements and code of conduct, see the application section of our boards.

Strathmore Clear

A bit long overdue as we've been farming BRS pretty much nightly, but we took a force into Strathmore to take down Baron Rivendale. Obviously we've had lots of members who've killed the Baron many times in open groups, but we'd never done it Zeph only, so it's a minor milestone for us.

In other news, we have more and more 60s and nearly everyone is 50+ (including an alt or two I believe). We're working on keying ourselves for Onyxia and some other goals.
