Our Stab at the Scepter

Well, we originally weren't going to get intimately involved in the opening of the AQ gates, but Sardukar and Auphan seemed like they were having so much fun, we couldn't let them do it alone (that and the outpouring of alliance support they had made us a little ill... they are the enemy... the PVE servers are to your left). There were also a couple of recipies we thought that could come in handy down the line so we jumped into the fray.

The horde had a couple days head start on us, but in typical Zephyros fashion, we focused all of our efforts on this project once we decided to head this direction. Late Friday night we farmed about 2,000 carapaces and finished up the other 40,000 in the following 52 hours. We were done by Sunday night.

We spoke to Anachronos and he gave Strongbad a lovely ring.



Returning to Slithus to the AQ gates, we triggered the historical look of the battles between the Night Elves, Dragons and the Quirage. Make no mistake, it was very cool. Here's a few screens and you can watch the video.





As I had to log (work in the morning), our folks were beavering away on several portions of the quest line over the course of the night. By morning, I'd expect that we'll have more farming for future portions of the quest complete with other discrete steps also complete.

As we continue our efforts, I'd like to thank our dedicated members and those select alliance who also meaningfully contributed to our quest.
