9 / 12 Ascendant Council down, guild achievement 'Mix Master'

First time into phase 3 and the Ascendant Council is down.

With one low geared dd, one offspecc healer and one twink healer we were doing very good and fast progress with a famous victory over the Ascendant Council with 2 people alive. :-)

Our next aim is Cho'gall. Tactical post will follow until next monday.



Furthermore Running Death created 1.000 flask and get the guild achievement Mix Master.
I spent all the money from the guild and some more to get this achievment, but it pays off.

From now one our raids are supported with flasks through cauldron of battle.
They are soulbound and can only be created by alchemists, but this should be no problem for our raid.
They work like a refreshment table from a mage and have 7 charges. (3 players get there flasks directly from the raidleader, so don't klick the cauldron if you are an assigned player.)

If you klick the cauldron, you get a flask of battle.
It grants the effect of a flask based on your class and talents.  It's an unique and conjured item. You only can have one and if you log out for more then 15 min it disappears.


Following guild perks improve theses flasks. (We are currently lev 13.)

lev 10 - Chug a Lug Rank 1 (The duration of buffs from all guild cauldrons is increased by 50%.)
1,5h (for alchemists 3h)

lev 20 - Happy Hour (Increases the number of flasks gained from using a flask cauldron by 50%.)
10 charges

lev 22 - Chug a Lug Rank 2 (The duration of buffs from all guild cauldrons is increased by 100%.)
2h (for alchemists 4h)


Our next guild aim is following achievment That's A Lot of Bait
We must catch 10.000 fishes from fishing pools. This time we need the support from every guild member to achieve it, but I think we want organize a fishing event to have some fun together.

8 / 12 Chimaeron down, Raidtime changes and more...

After some wipes and getting experience with 3 healers, we used the easier way and killed Chimaeron with 4 Healers. This is a healer fight, so all healers should know their spells, mana management and try to improve their skills and reaction time for this boss.

Raid Time Changes
Wednesday 19:30 - 23:00
Monday 19:30 - 23:00

We want also doing some rated battleground for the weekly Challenges during raid time.

Next Boss - Ascendant Council (Elementium Monstrosity) in Bastion of Twilight
get some basic information about this encounter or read my next post until next Monday


Recruiting
We have a good raid squad, but I would like to have a motivated restoration shaman who know his class, can heal, have time to raid and are old enough to fit into our guild. If you know someone or you would like to do some advertisement in trade chat or forums, contact me. Guild leading can need any support.

7 / 12 - Atramedes down

After killing our farm bosses in Blackwing Descent and some connection issues and 3 tries we could zerg down the blind dragon Atramedes.

Our next aims are Chimaeron and then finishing Bastion of Twillight (Ascendant Council and Cho'gall).

Until now we couldn't find any healer, who like to join us, if you know or meet some pve oriented healer let me know. If you want to switch your mainchar to an other heal charakter don't hestiate get some gear and join the raid. We need some recruitments to keep up our raids.

Next Raid: Monday 9.5.2011 - 19:00
come an let us kill Conclave of Wind, Halfus, Valiona and Chimaeron
