Welcome back gang,

Its now summertime, so stand by for vacations, work projects and some weekend raiding!
If you are going to be AFK for a bit, please post in the forum your dates you will be gone.

WHATS NEW: 3-D views?? Yep! the characters on the website have a 3d viewer for your toon :)  check it out...
select roster, then pick your toon (or someone elses :P )  and select the 3D view - BAM!


We also have some new members coming in and I received some interest in joining - feel free to post here for questions or look us up in game. New folks are always welcome to join and I hope that you might find a good home with us. Just keep in mind that we are not a hard-core guild and that during the week its lots of 5mans and open questing - usually we raid on weekends.

RAIDS: We have made some good progress in Ulduar and clear out Naxx in a night- some of the alts are starting to make their runs thru in Naxx, so talk with Peacefull if you want to do that on a given night.

Otherwise, enjoy the weather (when it gets nice out again) and see everyone online!

Well, its that time of year when the BBQs come out - SUMMER!

This weekend is an open weekend for two reason: 1- its summertime and you should go out and 2- Mike and Soo are gone, so we loose two raiders...
Look for 5 mans for badges, some pvp or work on your alts :D

Enjoy the Weekend and see you online!!

Hey all,

Its been a busy few weeks since april started:
1- Decided that Ulduar was a bit much for us, for now, and went back to naxx for more drops and T7 gear.
2- Noblegarden came and went - wasnt too bad for a few hours - just camped a spot and picked up the eggs as they spawned until you got 360 of em or 360- the ones you needed..  in all, it was a rather fun but lite event....
3- but Childrens week - well, if you dont like to PVP, then this one isnt for you. The one achievement needed for the title involves the 4 classic wow BGs and it is a fun time in there - especially Warsong

Also, the Argent Tournament started and some are progressing nicely. The daily quests give good coin and the progression is nice. The rewards are good too for those looking for a small upgrade, and for those that just hit 80. The currency gives several types of rewards to include:

• Argent Hippogryph-  250 Seals
• Ground Mounts - 100 Seals each
• Tabards - 50 Seals each
• Non-combat Pets - 40 Seals each
• Epic Weapons - 25 Seals each
• Banners - 15 Seals each
• Rare Armor - 10 Seals each

Last but  not least, Katanya, Peacefull, Bullos and now Mohadeb have gotten their Bronze Drake from strat runs - look for more runs to continue as the weeks progress and people finish up the Childrens week stuff. Grats to all!

Otherwise, have fun!

Some vacations plans are starting to come together, so dont be surprised if the 10-man stuff takes a small slowdown, but its the summertime, so go enjoy the nice weather when you can.

See everyone online!

We got 3.1 !

Dual spec..
Ulduar raid..
lots of changes..

Aside from the normal patch day circus (update mods, download patch, lag, issues...etc)  we Hit Ulduar last night along with 1/2 of the other raiding guilds on the server..  With little knowledge and lots of open ideas and fun in mind, we went and downed boss#1 -Flame Leviathan!  He gave us two drops: Combustion Bracers (laurannia) and Pyrite Infuser (Darkkaiser).
We then tried the trash mobs in front of the next guy and got pwnd bigtime - not easy and flashbacks of molten core came to mind. Then, we tried the Razongore fight and also got pwnd by the trash mobs.

We will continue the trek this weekend with some more attempts and reading on the strategies.

Hey everyone!

Just wanted to share that we were able to defeat Kel and thus CONQURE NAXX! It was a long but fun road of progression, but we did it! Some nice gear dropped for some members: Katanya got the Nerubian Conquerer, Mohadeb got the Hammer of the Astral Plane and Dredscott got the T7 helm. In doing this, we took some screenshots and will have them up soon.

Because we were able to do this, we will start making plans to do the Mal fight and also start work on the Sath + 1 drake. Since Easter is this coming weekend, we will take the week off from raids and get back to it in 2 weeks.

3.1 patch is coming very soon as the current date listed for the Noble Garden holiday is April 26th and it will last until May 2nd.

I warn you to be prepared because Children's Week begins (May 1st) before Noblegarden even ends (May 2nd), so you're going to be working on two sets of holiday achievements at the same time for that brief overlap period. Since Noblegarden's achievements are a part of What A Long, Strange Trip It's Been now, you'll have your work cut out for you for those two weeks.


Ok thats it for now: Go do some dailies, regular questing, level your alts and have fun - this is a total off-week, so do as you please!

Hey everyone!

Well, its time to start working on some frostgear! We were able to clear Military wing and finally get thru the 'tesla' fight - construct wing. We were able to run to Sath on sunday - look at his frozenness and be turned into popcycles...  so go get yer forst gear!

Here is a list of Frostgear you can make or quest for/ drops.  Each armor set has 3 pieces for each class, and the titan frostguard ring both Bullos and Peacefull can make - ALL set pieces and the ring need an orb amonst other parts, like eternal essences (water and fire..) Since all of them need Frozen Orbs, You have 2 options here: 1- look for 5-man heroics to be run this week  ~or~ 2-Do some dailies/quests get 100g (all the sons dailies will earn you close to 100g) and go hit the AH for one - usually around 100g you can get one.

For the Eternal Essences, I would suggest hitting Wintergrasp when we have the buff, and go farm water elementals and fire elementals for the crystallized essences. Or again, do some dailies and get money for the AH mats. Water is about 10-12g each and Fire is like 25-30g each.

Try and see what you can get made by Friday and let Soo know what you might be lacking - I would recomend that you have at least 2 pieces by Saturdays raid - and the more the better.

Remember : Just because you can wear better armor levels than cloth doesnt mean you have to- so caster ranged folks might consider getting the cloth gear made vise the leather or mail.... just a thought to save you some cash and headaches in farming or buying the extra stuff needed. Tanks will need plate.


Also, Start getting your 2nd spec gliphs now - the AH will be going up in prices for the off-spec glyphs. Talk with Soo and Myth about them for mats - they have inscriptors that make some too.

Hey all,

This weekends Naxx run was excellent as usual - we grabbed a pick-up DK (saurun) and went friday night on the usual clear of spider and plague wings. Saturday night was clear to 4 horsemen in Military and finally got Grobb downed, along with the big doggy. Lots of good drops this weekend for everyone - too many to list. I will try and do a better job of tracking these as we go along to post them here to show off the new stuff.

Other news includes the alts are starting to hit 80- Leattank is almost there, along with a few others. Look for some badge runs to start up a tad more with some new groups and different rolls for everyone. Always good stuff and fun to try instances as a different class - you learn alot about the different roles that the mains go thru.

Otherwise, the calendar is up online - please post your availability on the wow calendar for the usual wed/ friday/ sat runs.

Welcome back!

Well, this past weekend we made good headway in Naxx 10 man; We were able to clear out the Spider wing and the Plague wing on Friday-  thus farm mode is almost 100% official. Saturday night we were able to get to Grobb again and found several things about the fight:  The clouds are nature damage and effect anyone that is inside or touches them; The rate of injections increases as he takes more damage and that spacing can become an issue - got him to 25%, so thats good. We then moved wings and got thru the military wing to the Horsemen, but were not able to get far with them, so there we go.

In other news, Gary finally purchased the expansion and we have more active members in the guild heading to Northrend :D. Welcome to all and we look forward to seeing you online soon :D

Last, please check our forums for claendar updates and the polls- help us out by telling us what you would like to do, dont like, etc... it makes running our guild easier and knowing that you have a word in what goes on is what we are all about.

See you soon!
