SNCR News

Last Updated:  January 28, 2012

SNCR 303 Owns Hive Guardians!

What do you do when most of your healers don’t show up?  Beat a raid event for the first time.  Who needs heals after all?  Not us.

SNCR hits 300!

300 raids!  Here’s to 300 more!  Everyone listed as an active raider as of tonight received a 5 DKP bonus for sticking with us.

SNCR 297 Owns Wrath of Brath!

Somehow, I forgot to note this weeks ago!  This was a hell of a kill!  Let’s do it again and get this thing on farm!

SNCR 286 Owns Masked Invaders!

Our first Tier 7 Kill on the second night!  Nice work guys, you really pulled that one together.  I’m looking forward to getting more of Tier 7 on farm status and pulling in more sweet loots!

SNCR 279 Owns The Beast Below and The Unburrowing (CC + Arth)

It’s been awhile since our last update, but we finished up Seeds of Destruction Farming, had a few slow weeks due to Easter, Double XP, and servers being down, but we’re back on track with two new kills on the first attempt (of that night).  Tier 6 Underfoot is now clear, we’ve got a few more weeks farming keys and we can start working on Tier 7.

SNCR 273 Owns… Fippy Darkpaw!?

Yes, you read it correctly, we killed Fippy Darkpaw.  However, I’m talking about the raid event in Brell’s Rest, not the NPC in the various Qeynos Instances / North Qeynos zone ;).  This was a little bonus kill as we had some extra time after wrist core farming this week, and a preview of what’s to come in Underfoot in the coming weeks as we begin keying for Tier 7 Underfoot.

SNCR 271 Owns Endurance and Steel Behemoths!

Well, we lasted about 90 minutes on Endurance, and could have gone for another hour I’d wager, but we decided to end the event and head on to other things.  We bugged DDD, so we’ll have to come back next week for that!  However, we beat Steel Behemoths and everyone got (more than likely) a sweet aug, and two loots for the raid to split!

SNCR 270 Owns IRA 1, 2, Battle Prowess (Again)

Not really a new kill, but certainly something of note.  We beat our previous scores, surviving 28 waves on IRA 1 (vs 11 last year) and beating 21 waves before time ran out on IRA 2 (vs 7 last year).  We also beat Battle Prowess in a matter of minutes (vs ~17 minutes last year).  Everyone who came got 3 pretty sweet augments.  See the 270 DKP report for more!

SNCR 265 Owns Seeds of Destruction!

Synacarna and  Brekt down!!  Another expansion cleared!  On to Underfoot!

SNCR 264 Owns Tower Events 1 – 5.5!

Well, Synacarna got us, but we got damn near all of the first 5 events on the first try!

SNCR 263 Owns Zek Brothers, Eriak’s Downfall, The Fall of Toskirrak, Rallos Returns!

Well, that was one hell of win!  Zek Brothers down, and the following three events down on the first try, all within four hours!  A big thank you to the rezzers and CotHers that help set up the raid!

SNCR 262 Owns Showdown at the Crystal Core (Hard)!

Not much to say other than this was an awesome win!

SNCR 257 Owns Korafax (Hard)!

Week 8:  Because we love Korafax just so much, we decided to do yet another raid of it.. except on Hard to get some sweet tower loots.

SNCR 255 Owns Showdown at the Crystal Core!

Week 6:  Haven’t been any updates for awhile, but that’s because Korafax has been going smoothly for awhile.  Farmed Final Confrontation a few times, and took out the Toskirrak event: Showdown at the Crystal Core!  We’ve also taken 2 shots at the Zek Brothers, and make some good attempts and learned a bit about these events.  We probably won’t have any new kills until January 2011, though.

SNCR 251 Owns Final Confrontation!

Week 2:  6 more keys, and one hell of a raid event beat!  We’ve now completed all the raids in Field of Scale, and the last one is an impressive event.  Flying dragons overhead, armies clashing, and a flying mount for Rare at the low, low price of 114 DKP.

SNCR 250 Owns Venom Lord Ksathrax, Pallorax the Soul Slayer, Mindshear Avatar!

Our first week in Korafax we have all 3 events down.  Now begins the 8 week farm…

SNCR 247 Owns Kerafyrm, the Awakened!

That was one hell of a win.  Our third attempt of the night, I think fifth overall, we took down Kerafyrm.  This is after 2am, down to 48 people with a few bots.   I’m not making an understatement when I say this was one hell of a win.  It got very rough around 50% when the Wyverns started to stack up, and especially rough from 10% - 4% without any tanks left buffed or with mana/endurance.  But, we still managed to pull it off and won the event!  Congratulations NCG on beating Crystallos and SoF.  Now, onto SoD!

SNCR 246 Owns Brood Mother Visziaj and Vyskudra!

Another impressive run at Crystallos.  Not only did we get down the Air dragon that had been causing us problems, we took out Brood Mother on the first try and got Kerafyrm down to 40%!

SNCR 244 Owns Kaesora Library and Claiming Felbane the Dragon Slayer!

Impressive week for us.  What started off with a slow start on Bahgresh ended up in getting two new kills in the FoS theme after a few tries.

SNCR 243 Owns Crystallos Ice Wing and half of the Air Wing!

7 events down in a little over 5 hours and another attempted.  Not bad at all.

SNCR 242 Owns Crystallos Earth and Fire wings!

Remember Warden Hanvar?  We do too, unfortunately.  We took out the first two wings / four events in Hanvarland on our first try.  We’re making amazing progress – expect to see more updates on our frolics in Hanvarland soon!

MMM Raid Video!

 



Thanks, Tchakra!

SNCR 240 Owns General Bahgresh!

We couldn’t go TOO long without a fresh kill.  We’re wraping up our Mansion efforts shortly.  There will be plenty of Crystallos kills coming soon!  That said, for all of us who didn’t make it to Fan Faire this year, we took down some SoD content.  We first hit our farm targets: Rottrued and Queen, before trying a raid we hadn’t beat: Bahgresh.  After winning that, we decided to take our first shot at Kaesora Council which went quite well for being unprepared and taking a shot in the dark.  50% all around.

SNCR 233 Owns Tactical Prototype and Meldrath!

We seem to either get no new events down or get two down.  Regardless, we’ve finally beaten MMM six raids later!  Now after some flagging, we’ll be all set to take on Crystallos!

SNCR 230 Owns Brinda and Krond!

We made damn good time this week!  Managed to get down Trash, Bargangle, Krond, Breakneck, and Brinda by 2am!

Happy 5th Anniversary SNCR!!

As of May 21st, we’re celebrating five years of raiding!

SNCR 228 Owns Bargangle and Breakneck!

On our first run into MMM, We took down Bargangle and Breakneck on the first try!

SNCR 225 Owns The Fabled Fennin Ro!

Finally, we were able to get Fennin Ro down!  This completes our fabled kills.  We’ve done the PoP Expansion (Fabled) from Tier 1 to Quarm!

SNCR 224 Owns The Fabled Plane of Time Expedition, Bertox, Emp. Ssra!

This week, we were able to get Bertox and Emp. Ssra down completing a few kills we were missing from years before.  We also did the entire Fabled Plane of Time Expedition and got some pretty sweet loots!  The only Fabled PoP kill missing now is Fennin Ro…

SNCR 222 Owns The Fabled Coirnav, the Avatar of Water!

This week, we headed over to Plane of Water.  This ended up being one hell of a close kill (time and close in general).  We persisted and were able to get Fabled Coirnav down, quite possibly the hardest EP fabled.  We also went over to IRA 1.0 to best our previous score and survived 11 waves!

SNCR 221 Owns The Fabled Rallos Zek the Warlord and The Fabled Xegony, Queen of Air!

This week, SNCR went back for some more EP god cleanup, as we’ve only taken down Fabled Rathe Council in the past.  Well, we took down TRC, headed to Tactics, easily took down RZtW, headed to Air, got 5 keys, and killed Xegony!  One hell of a night!

SNCR BMK3 Raid Video!



More awesome footage by Tchakra!

SNCR 211 Owns Deepscar and Big Bynn I!

This week, SNCR takes down the last two mobs to beat for MMM access on the first try!  Now to just farm key drops and one more Solteris run and we’ll be in MMM!

SNCR 210 Owns Rottrued the Twisted and Malarian Queen!

So, where to start…  This year:  Depths of Darkhollow – Finished, Prophecy of Ro – Completed, The Serpent’s Spine – Completed, The Buried Sea – Completed.  Tier 1 SoD – Down.  All kills pre-MMM minus two? – On farm status.  One hell of year.  Looking forward to 2010!  Oh, and Malarian Queen and Rottrued down.  On farm status soon.  More to come in 2010!

SNCR Solteris Raid Video!



Yet another awesome video by Tchakra!

SNCR 208 Owns Commodus and Two Gods!

This week, we went back for another phenomenal Solteris run!  We finally downed Commodus which had been killing us for awhile and went after Two Gods.  We were able to get Two Gods down on the second attempt!  Excellent work everyone, the TBS expansion is down!  That’s FOUR expansions down this year!!  We’ve had an awesome year everyone, and I am looking forward to 2010!

SNCR 204 Owns Astire and Irissa!

Another two damn impressive Solteris kills put us well on our way to clearing Solteris!  Mayong and Sol Ro, we’re coming!

SNCR 203 Owns Balreth!

In probably one of the most perfect raids I’ve seen in a long time, we steamrolled the Sisters, Aprosis and had an impressive as hell win over Balreth.  Now THAT’s what a raid should look like.  We’ll be putting more of Solteris on the kill list soon, I’m sure =)

Ayonae Ro Raid Video!





Thanks Tchakra!

SNCR 201 Owns Deathknell!

Yet more kills that have been a long time coming.  SNCR tonight has beaten PoR, making that our third expansion completed this year, with TBS (Solteris) ~29% complete, and still just under three months left.  We’re also only two kills off from having everything pre-MMM in the SoF expansion on farm.  Those are only a matter of time before we get them on farm.  We’re also hoping to get Tier 1 SoD on farm before the close of the year.  Lofty goals, but I’m sure we can accomplish them.

SNCR 199 Owns Suchun, the Blood Warden; Ralkor Bloodmoon (BMK 3); Lord Nagafen 2.0; Lady Vox 2.0!

Keeping up with our PoR cleaning, we’ve gone through and finally completed all the flagging raids for the Fetters.  All we have left to clean up on is Deathknell.  Then, the oldest content we will have yet to beat is Solteris.  After our PoR flagging this week, we went and did the classic mission raids for Vox and Nagafen and beat those with 42.  We also stopped by BMK3 to win that event as well, and that was one hell of a win.  I think damn near everyone tanked Ralkor at one point.  Nice work everyone, MMM is certainly on the horizon.

SNCR 198 Owns Sullon Zek, Mistress of Rage!

The oldest expansion we’ve yet to clean up on is Prophecy of Ro.  Because of that, we went back this week for a Daosheen, Ghost, Snowtail and Sullon Zek kill.  Sullon was a new win for us.  Ayonae will drop in the weeks to come, putting PoR shortly on our Expansion Complete list, which will make 3 this year.  Stay tuned for more on our PoR progression over the coming weeks!

SNCR 197 Owns Aprosis!

Just a very quick note this week to note that Aprosis died for us tonight.  This was our 4th or 5th try overall!  I’m sure on our next Solteris run we’ll be adding Balreth and Astire to the list!

SNCR 196 Owns Sisters (Solters) and Giants, Giants, Giants!

This week, we started out with Giants, Giants, Giants, and made it to Wave 17 / 20: Commodus.  Had we a bit more experience in Solteris (ie more than None :P) we would have done better with this.  I’m sure we’ll get this event when we actually encounter in Solteris.  Speaking of Solteris.. we paid our first visit to the zone tonight.  We got the Sisters Event down on the third try and got Aprosis down to 87% on the Second try.  We’ll be back next week and hopefully make it through Balreth!

SNCR 195 Owns Spindlecrank!

This week, SNCR went back to SoF to clean up on more loot targets and finish some unfinished business.  Spindlecrank died to us on our (second or third?)  try ever -  putting all but 3 pre-MMM mobs on kill status, and all but one on farm status!

SoF Round One Raid Video!



As usual, credits to Tchakra!

SNCR 194 Owns Bimbalicus the Manysoul and Scorn!

This week, SNCR went to SoF to clean up on a lot of loot mobs.  We cleaned up on MB, Octa, and Wirlem.  We also decided to pay Hills of Shade a visit for the first time and got Scorn down on the first attempt and Bimba down on the third, pulling in our first Gyro Cores!  We’ll be doing the same next week!

Lethar 2.0 Raid Video!



Another video by Tchakra!

SNCR 193 Owns Lethar 2.0, Finishes The Serpent’s Spine Expansion!

Back again for more, we went back this week and rolled right through the first four events.  Lethar 2.0 we wiped to on the first try, but back armed with a new add controlling strategy and a hell of a lot of determination, we brought Lethar down.  The last 30% was intense as it was very, very, very slow going, plenty of people dying left and right and battle rezzes all around, as well as only one person on adds near the end.  Congratulations to everyone, that was one hell of a kill!  NCG has also now finished TSS, putting us on the doorstep of Solteris after a couple of weeks smacking around some SoF mobs.  More kills to come…

SNCR 192 Owns Dyn`leth’s Army, Shade of Veldyn, Dyn`leth and Lethar 1.0!

This week, we headed over for our first shot at Ashengate North.  On the first try, we easily cut our way through all of the events, the one that gave us the most trouble was the army.  Lethar 2.0, however, proved to be an effective barrier between us and Solteris.  We wiped to him three times at 40%.  We have a few strat modifications and plan to go back this week and get Lethar 2.0 down!

Mayong Mistmoore Raid Video!

Thanks to Tchakra for making this video!

 

 

SNCR 191 Owns The Perfomer and Mayong Mistmoore!

Thanks to EEEK’s help over the last two months for pre-clearing we had easier access to Tier 2.  This week, we cleared all of Tier 1 except for ZT (due to it being locked out).  After that, we took down ALL of Tier 2 with a fantastic Performer Event win on the first try of the night!  Finally, we gave Mayong two shots and came out of it dead with him at 42%.  We went back later that weekend for the kill and downed him on the first attempt Sunday.  Demi-Plane of Blood DOWN!  Another expansion beaten, leaving PoR, TSS, TBS, SoF, and SoD to go.  You’ll be hearing “TSS DOWN!” in the near future from us as well as we get ready to go to Solteris.  We’ll also be in the not-too-distant future putting all raids pre-MMM on farm or close to it I hope as well.

SNCR 188 Owns Griffon Master Ayna'Rym, Stitch's Ambush, and Stitch!

Tonight we took our first shot at Ashengate East and managed to clear out the instance!  We wiped a few times to the Griffon Master, but finally ended up bringing him down and plowed right through the rest of the instance with only an issue on Stitch, which we luckily fixed and pulled through for an instance clear.   Ashengate North is coming very soon…

SNCR 187 Owns Chief Mechanic Clankwrench!

Tonight, we went back to finish off Ashengate West.  We cleared the zone in two hours!  Not satisfied with that, we went over to take down MB.  As usual, he was downed.  Feeling good about those wins, we went over to Clankwrench to see how we’ve improved and took him down pretty close to Flawlessly!  Another first kill!  Nice work everyone!  We also got Spindlecrank to 70%, and I’m sure that will be even lower in the coming weeks.  Looking forward to AG East next week!

SNCR 186 Owns Ambersnout the Aberration, Sothgar’s Attendants and Sothgar!

We had a pretty good night this week.  We cleared Ashengate West on our first try!  We got rolling at 9:02pm and got Ambersnout on the 4th try.  He reset on us twice, and we wiped to him once, but we managed to get him down and claim his loot.  Not content with that, we wanted to challenge Sothgar.  The first attempt at his Attendants we nearly wiped to and regrouped and tried it a second time and got it down.  Sothgar himself was a pushover as we downed him on the first attempt.  Looking forward to going back and clearing those events all on the first try and beating the zone in record time this week!  With Frostcrypt out of the way, we have only Ashengate East and West to finish up before getting to our final zone in the expansion – Ashengate North.  Also, on a side note, the task bugged when we killed Sothgar so we did not get kill credit.  Thanks to the GMs for updating the task for us so we can move on to Ashengate North!

SNCR 185 Owns Roley Defarge and Tris Wallow III!

This week, thanks to EEEEK pre-clearing most of Demi Tier 1 for us, we went back and did Sisters and Devlin.  We also took a stab at two new events for us, Tris and Roley and won on the first attempt.  We also took two stabs at Performer and learned a lot.   I’m sure our next Performer attempt will be significantly better, and hopefully we’ll be able to down Performer and Mayong sooner rather than later.  Stay tuned for more Demi-Plane of Blood kills in the coming months.  We didn’t forget this expansion, we’re going to smack it around as we finish up TSS and start TBS – Solteris.

Happy 4th Anniversary SNCR!!

As of May 21st, we’re celebrating four years of raiding!  Here’s to four more! =)

SNCR 183 Owns Beltron, The Shade King!

This week, SNCR headed back to Frostcrypt 2 to finish what we started and beat this half of the TSS Expansion.  On our second attempt at Beltron ever, we took him out, completing half of The Serpent’s Spine Expansion!  Ashengate is next!

SNCR 180 Owns Wirlem, Phantom of the Festival!

This week, we decided to go back for more SoF kills.  We beat Wirlem on only the third try, and smacked down MB again.  We have the strat down now for Clankwrench, getting him to 11, 8 and 6% on the three tries.  Damn good job everyone.

SNCR 179 Owns Octa the Collector and Mining Behemoth!

This week, we decided to try out a few SoF targets.  Octa and MB we both got down on the second try each, which was damn amazing.  We adapted amazingly well and it only took once to get it down and win the second time with, dare I say, ease.  Looking forward to knocking down some more SoF targets!

SNCR 178 Owns Dragons, Dragons, Dragons!

This week, we went over to try Living Legacy 5: Dragons, Dragons, Dragons and made it to Lethar (Wave 16).  Not too bad, and we’ll have experience for when we go back for Lethar 2.0 later on in Ashengate!

SNCR 177 Owns more Fabled!

This week, we killed The Fabled Agnarr the Storm Lord, The Fabled Hydrotha (powater mini) and The Fabled Tallon Zek!  We also made a good shot at Coirnav and got another sword, this time at 178 DKP for Bariag!

SNCR 175 Owns a bunch of Fabled!

This week, we kicked off the EQ 10th Anniversary by going Fabled Hunting.  Our march through planes of power left no god safe.  Here’s our kill list for tonight: The Fabled Lord Mithaniel Marr, The Fabled Solusek Ro, The Fabled Keeper of Sorrows, The Fabled Saryrn, The Fabled Warlord Gintolaken, The Fabled Avatar of Earth, The Fabled Criare Sunmane, The Fabled Jaxoliz Dawneyes.  That’s right.  We took on the Fabled Rathe Council.  Tonight, we also set a new high bid record – 175 DKP by Donbayne on the Fabled Sword of Primordial Power.  DKP was being dropped left and right all night, but this one bid beat them all.  Congratulations to all the winners, and looking forward to even more first kills this year.

SNCR 174 Owns Fridleif, Master Warcraft and Harfange the Black!

This week, we owned two more mobs in FC2, leaving us with only Beltron to conqueor!

SNCR 173 Owns The Sleepless Guard and Wulfnor the Gladiator!

This week, we decided to pay Frostcrypt 2 a visit.  We wiped on our first try of the aug event, The Sleepless Guard, but were not going to accept any type of defeat and came back to take out the event!  After that, we decided to go and smack down Wulfnor and his friends.  We administered a beating, looked at the loot and had the server crash before we could even bid on any of it.  Well, at least we got a solid strat for the first two mobs down, and we’ll do much better in future runs.  Looking forward to downing the Shade King!

SNCR 172 Owns Shades of Calm, Overwhelming Numbers, Hearol the Tactician and Lorekeeper Grenwald!

This week, we’re back with a vengeance and a new strategy to finally down those damned zombies.  We flawlessly, and dare I say, easily plowed through all four aug dropping events.  Not satisfied by 1 HS damage augs from the week before and all the loot this week, we had to go beat down Hearol and Grenwald.  It was a very excellent week for loot!  Also, NCG now has access to Frostcrypt 2!!  Looking forward to our first raids there!

SNCR 170 Owns Shadow Selves and Three Brothers!

We were able to down those two aug events with relative ease in our first foray into Frostcrypt.  We also learned a good amount about the other aug event, Overwhelming Numbers and a good amount on Lorekeeper Grenwald.  We’ll be much better suited to take down those two events next time around and more efficiently deal with the first two.  Great raid everyone and looking forward to next week!

SNCR 169 Owns King Odeen!

If you missed this raid, you missed one hell of a raid.  To prevent the trash from getting us last time, we spent the first 2 – 2.5 hours of the raid… literally clearing almost all of Valdeholm.  We went and smacked down the Royal Captain, beat the Lorekeeper and friends, beat the Royal Guardsmen, killed those 5 named at once that got us last time, chased the King back to the Hot springs and didn’t have the zone come to slaughter us, and figured out how the bridge part of the event works and bea the event.  After our six hour carnage in Valdeholm, I’d think it is safe to say there were no survivors.  Unfortunately, this won’t be an event we’ll be coming back to anytime soon, because of how long it takes (yes, there are some optimizations we could make.. but the loot isn’t worth coming back vs. the time)  More importantly, Welcome to Frostcrypt, NCG!  Looking forward to adding some kills from there to our kill list in the very near future!

SNCR 167 Owns Royal Captain Gurangor!

On our first attempt at King Odeen, we were able to take out his Royal Captain and make it as far as the third part of his event.  We will get past this part surely next time, and be a lot closer to Frostcrypt 1!

SNCR 166 Owns High Lorekeeper Udengar Dergon!

On our second attempt at this event ever, we pulled through and got this event down.  One step closer to Frostcrypt, especially with the faction requirements out of our way!  King Odeen is next!  Also, after a few wipes at the start of BMK Raid #2, we finally got a working strat down and owned the first two mobs.  The rest of the event is cake, and we cleaned up, spending over 215 DKP!  Nice work everyone!  I’m very much looking forward to future weeks!

SNCR 162 Owns Vergalid!

On our first attempt at Vergalid, we owned him with 35 last night!  Nurtha looked difficult at first with a lower turnout, but turned out to be a pushover for our raid discipline.  We were on the ball tonight.  We also stopped by Udengar to learn the ropes of the event and will definitely have more successful attempts in the future with the information we’ve taken away.

SNCR 160 Owns Fanged Moon #2!!

                   Just have to say – wow!  I didn’t think we’d be able to do it, but we did.  After wiping twice to the first event of the zone, we recovered and came back to kick some serious ass, and cleared the event on our first night through.  Several people walked away very happy with some choice loots.  Excellent work by everyone, and I look forward to putting this event firmly on farm status.

SNCR 158 Owns Fanged Moon #1!

Tonight we finally made it over to Fanged Moon 1 and we were able to kill Wilnok Boneshard, Vesthun Wolfpaw, and Galrin Boneshard.  We had some very sweet loots drop.  Everyone did an excellent job tonight on all events.  After that, we went to clean up on Nurtha, but fell 8% short of finishing off the last mob.  We’ll get it next time, excellent effort everyone!

SNCR 157 Owns Anastasia the Thought Drinker!

(Just quick notes on a new kill for SNCR)

SNCR 155 Owns Demeton Destroyer of Life and an unleashed ice mass!

This week we decided to try two new events – The ring event in The Steppes, which was a blast, as well as the maze in Frostcrypt.  We killed the an unleashed ice mass this time around, and we almost got Ice Age, but much to our surprise, the mobs in the zone killed him for us, stealing the uber loot and xp from us.  We’ll get him next time, though.  I have some ideas on how to fix this.

SNCR 151 Owns Kellak, the Serpent Lord, Goru Uldrock, the Reincarnate, and Nurtha Frazzlesprocket!

After about five weeks off from raiding, SNCR comes back strong and owns three new events!  Two on the first try, Nurtha took us one learning wipe before finally taking her out.  We got two TSS Rank 3 spells, as well as three new augments, and three quality pieces of gear.  Excellent work, everyone and welcome back!  I can see lots of stuff dying in the weeks ahead!

 

Happy 3rd Anniversary SNCR!

I realize I'm a bit late on the posting (just like last year), but on May 28th we celebrated 3 years of Raiding!!

SNCR 147 Owns Gnarlibramble

I couldn't find a record of it anywhere, but I had sworn we'd taken it down before this, but added it to the kill list!  Congrats guys :)

SNCR 144 Owns Devlin Rochester, Ur-Gorlach, and I.R.A.

We started off tonight with the Living Legacy raid - I.R.A. - Infinitely Regenerative Automatron or something like that.  We took him out twice, and got him down to 11%, only 6% from beating the third wave.  Hang onto those items you got upon zoning in, everyone.

After that, we headed over to Demi-Plane to clean up on some more mobs.  We took out Devlin Rochester this time after getting him to 4% last time we faced him and took out a new aug mini, Ur-Gorlach.

SNCR 143 Owns Corruption of Ro!

After 2 learning attempts, we got the strat down and finally took out Corruption of Ro on the 3rd ever try.  Very nice work everyone, and some very nice loots were won.

SNCR 139 Owns Daosheen the Firstborn, Terish Fellclaw and Jyrta, the Watchful Eye!

We owned Daosheen the Firstborn tonight!  That was one long and impressive fight, and superb work by our clickers on this event.  They had every effect cured so fast in some cases you almost couldn't even notice it had landed.  We also completed our Razorthorn Access tonight! :)

SNCR 137 Owns Severan the Direwind Caller and Pyre Lord Narseekin

We exacted some long overdue revenge this week taking out Severan the Direwind Caller and Pyre Lord Narseekin.  We also stopped by Avalanche to grab a few very nice loot items as well

After we were done cleaning up here, we stopped by Daosheen for two attempts. Our next attempt should go very well :)

Good raid all!

SNCR 136 Owns Sanguimanus the Redfang

We killed Redfang tonight, finally!  This cleared Demi-Plane Tier 1 for us!

After clearing Tier 1, at 2:30am, we tried Devlin Rochester.  We got him down to 4% with 4 clerics, 1 warrior, and a bunch of DPS and Knights.  Everything was looking good up until 4%, but we will get him next time, no doubt.  One or two more people would have made the difference on this fight.

For those that were there from 8:30pm EST to 3:15am EST you earned a whopping 13 DKP!

SNCR 135 Owns The Fabled Xuzl, The Fabled Protector of Dresolisk and The Fabled Aerin`Dar

In yet another great raid, we managed to kill 3 more fabled, as well as the rest of the Sol Ro Minis, Aerin'Dar, Xanamech and Avalanche!  We got 1 SoF Tier 3 spell rune and a bunch of great DPS weapons!  DPS on NCG raids just went up!

We beat our record and spent 871 DKP!

SNCR 134 Owns The Fabled Arlyxir, The Fabled Jiva, The Fabled Grummus!

We pulled in 12 high quality loots this week!  We killed The Fabled Arlyxir, The Fabled Jiva, The Fabled Grummus and the Fabled Xanamech.

Not stopping there, we pulled in one more loot from Vule and 12 more Monocles of Blood!

Awesome work this week guys, looking forward to one more week of Fabled Stomping!

SNCR 133 Owns The Fabled Rizlona, The Fabled Terris Thule and The Fabled Xanamech Nezmirthafen

Tonight SNCR killed: The Fabled Rizlona, The Fabled Terris Thule and The Fabled Xanamech Nezmirthafen and Vishimtar.

We spent over 701 DKP tonight!

Rizlona was an epic fight for us.  Lasting well over 20 minutes, it was a near-win, where it came down to the ropes and we pulled through at the very end.  Amazing work everyone tonight.  That is definitely a fight to remember.

SNCR 130 Owns Hatchet and Wailing Sisters!

In our best Demi-Plane run yet, we were able to take down Hatchet and the Sisters event!  We also killed a new aug mini - Swirling Bloodspirit.

Nice work everyone!

SNCR 129 Owns a ton of stuff!

For those that missed this raid, you missed a hell of a raid.

11 Raid Mobs deaded.  12 Attempted.

Zones Fought in: The Devastation, The Steppes, Icefall Glacier, Sunderrock Springs, Direwind Cliffs

Deaded list: Titanothon, Ragewind, Bartol the Cragmaker, a wounded kobold event / Chief Urgak, a trapped wrathguard event / Avalanche, Edrna the Sleeping Giant, Cordagan Boulderfist, Mistwalker, Fiddleback, Oblivion, Wintersting, the Black Oak

Attempted Severan, The Direwind Caller.  Got him to 30%.  We will definitely get him next time.

The loot count will be in the DKP Report.  It's going to be an impressive one.

We also pulled in one Rank III TSS Spell.

Also, as if that wasn't enough, Luuv finished her Enraged Flesh Totem and we finally once again have a NCG raid leader that is able to request the Razorthorn Instance

All mobs above except for Titanothon were new kills for SNCR

SNCR 128 Owns Vertekin the Soothsayer and Cirwea Strongbow

Just a quick note saying we killed these two targets for the first time. :)

SNCR 121 Owns Overlord Mata Muram!

After our previous attempt at OMM Bringing him down to 39%, We came back tonight and finally downed him on our first try!  We also cleared Anguish (minus OMM) in just under 100 minutes, which may have been our fastest Anguish clear yet? (Not sure about that, but 100 minutes is damn speedy)

I also want extend a huge congratulations to Lilbrean who finally received his damage aug from Tunat last week!

Excellent work on OMM Tonight everyone!  Good finish to 2007!

Happy new year!

SNCR 119 Owns Zi-Thuuli of the Granite Claw!

On our first run into Demi-Plane, killed Zi-Thuuli of the Granite Claw.  We also took three attempts at Redfang and got him down to 60%.  A couple more tweaks and we should be a lot closer to winning this next time.  Good try guys!

Those of you who got AE Blockers, remember to turn them in!

SNCR 118 Owns Ghost + Snowtail!

Just a quick note this time saying we went back and cleaned up on Ghost and Snowtail.  We only got one aug, but 3 drops went for 40DKP, 1 for 50 and one for 20.  We pulled in some great quality loot this raid.  Thanks to Dura for requesting it =)

SNCR 115 Owns Sendaii, the Hive Queen!

Welcome to Demi-Plane of Blood NCG!!

Sendaii was owned by us tonight, completing our progression to Demi-Plane!  Special thanks to everyone that attended that raid.  That was absolutely awesome!

SNCR 111 owns Vishimtar the Fallen!

In one of the best attempts yet at Vishimtar, SNCR 111 down him on the first attempt on SNCR ever, flawlessly.  We had a total of two deaths in the instance the whole fight.  Awesome work SNCR!!

SNCR 108 Owns Cordagan Boulderfist!

After our Anguish Clear, SNCR headed over to The Steppes to pay Cordagan Boulderfist a visit, and promptly killed him!

SNCR 107 Owns Tsikut, Ashenback, Shar'Drahn and Titanothon!

This week, SNCR swept through Relic killing all three dragons: Tsikut, Ashenback, and Shar'Drahn.

Unfortunately, Porthio and Nightshade were in hiding and we didn't get to kill them.

After this, we headed over to the Devastation and killed the ugly Titanothon!

We also killed a mini in Sverag, but he isn't worth putting on the kill list.

SNCR 105 Owns Porthio the Second Born!

We killed Porthio and Nightshade at the end of our Anguish Clear (Minus OMM) to get him out of the way.. As well as for some very nice loot and fun.

We also killed Valdoon for Lucifana's 2.0

Grats to new epic Holders: Heiggan and Nopaosak!

SNCR 102 Owns Bloodeye!

Just a quick note to say we owned Bloodeye tonight :)

SNCR 100 Owns Council of the Nine!

We destroyed Council of the Nine tonight after an Anguish Clear!  Cutting the previous NCG kill time in 1/4th!

Congrats to Danee and Ninolas on their Epic 2.0s!

SNCR 98 Owns Draygun and Vule!

Probably one of our Greatest Raids in awhile - SNCR owns Draygun and Vule! (Photos Courtesy of Dura)

Happy 2nd Anniversary SNCR!

I realize I'm a bit late on the posting, but on May 28th we celebrated 2 years of Raiding.

We've come a long way, starting in the Bastion of the Thunder thinking +80hp gear friggen owned, to owning Shyra, most of DoN, Omens minus OMM and beating Gates with our first Tunat kill this year, and expecting incoming gear to be around +280 hp or higher instead of being amazed by +80.

Happy 2 Years SNCR :)

 

SNCR 85 Owns Anguish!

On SNCR 85, we finally showed up to pay Anguish a visit.  On our first clear through, we cleaned out all but Mata Muram himself.  Keldovan the Herrier, Ture, Jelvan Event, Warden Hanvar, Arch Magus Vangl all died.  Overlord Mata Muram was brought down to 90% or perhaps slightly lower, I don't recall.  Excellent work all!

SNCR 82 Owns 1 More Trial

And on SNCR 82, we owned our final trial - Specialization.  Welcome to Anguish, SNCR!

SNCR 80 Owns 2 more Trials!

SNCR went in tonight and obliterated Foresight and Endurance!  We got

Specialization to 2%, one more person would have made the difference. 

We also killed Yar`Lir out of spite.

Excellent work SNCR!!! CoA is on the horizon!

SNCR 79 Owns 3 Trials

SNCR 79 went in and destroyed Trial of Adaptation, Corruption, and

Hate, and brought the last mob in Foresight to 80%!  It was less than

30 raids ago where these destroyed us utterly.  Awesome work SNCR!

SNCR 75 Owns Four Dragons!

SNCR 75 took out Kessdona and Rikkukin - two long nemesises of SNCR from over 25 raids ago!  We finally got around to destroying them.  We also won the KT Summoner Event for BiC, as well as Yar'Lir and T'shara!

SNCR 71 Goes to town on Tunat!

I'll let a picture do all the talking for this update:

South Wing 0, NCG 1

After completing our Tacvi access two weeks ago, we finally set foot in the last stronghold of the Tunat'Muram of the Discordian forces.

Setting foot in Tacvi is not like other zones however, and certainly redefines the defintion of 'trash' mobs.

After chatting to the last surving member of the previous residents, he kindly opened the door for us, and we met our first resident in Tacvi, Seat of the Slayer.

Wow.

I never knew Mastruqs could kill people that quickly.

Of course, I never knew Mastruqs could hit that hard! After recovering from our first monster (that was only one? :/) we moved on to our first boss.

Xxeric isn't like other goats.. She isn't very nice at all.

One of the hardest hitting mobs in the entire expansion, and she certainly lives up to her claim. We managed to kill her (somehow) but unfortunately, her slightly irritating adds (slightly? =p) finished off the raid before we could recover. Fear not however, as a few people managed to stay alive, and we rezzed back in and finished off the encounter. Alas but we didn't managed to save every bit of loot, and some of it was looted by those with lower ratio rather than rotting :(

Moving on from our first boss, we encountered.. a snake! (whats with all the zodiac animals?).. Pixxt Riel Tavas didn't prove too much of a problem though, and we managed to kill her without having too many of her adds explode. NCG 2, Tacvi 0.

Our next objective was one of the two Zun'Muram's guarding the passages to the Tunat'Muram himself. We picked on Yihst Vor first and.. oh, its over already? Oh, okay.. Yihst Vor was little trouble for our forces, and swiftly fell before the magic and blades of our army.

Finally for this evening, we tackled the legendary Zun'Muram Kyve Pirik, aka the Balancer.

The balancer involves a particular strategy which I won't go into here, but suffice to say that our first efforts weren't enough, and we wiped. However, one of our necromancers cheated death long enough to rez in a cleric for us to try again. It was getting late, but newly refreshed, wanting to beat him, we rezzed back in, buffed our forces and took him on again. The balancing went much better this time, and Pirik fell beneath the knife, as SNCR collected our final loots for the evening, including one of the infamous Brutish Blades of Balance.

Congratulations Xtter on one of the premiere Warrior Weapons :)

Congratulations SNCR on beating the South Wing of Tacvi!!!

SNCR 65 Owns Zun`Muram Tkarish Zyk!

Welcome to Tacvi, SNCR!

SNCR last week went into Txevu and payed the Zun another visit.  He wasn't prepared for it to be him taking the beating this week.  We overcame the adds, snakes, and goats and assisted the Chaosslayer bringing the Zun to an end. 

After which, our thirst for blood was not satisfied and we went to go bother the royals in Riftseeker's Sanctum who we had decided had been in power for too long.  We decided to meet with the King and his princes, and beheaded all of them.   They didn't go peacefully, however.  They left us a nice present in the form of many bombs that exploded and took out 95% of the raid.  Unfortunately for the king, he missed the 5% that could resurrect us.  We rezzed up and looted up.

We pulled in some nice spoils this week, Cryston, Staff of the Rift and Ilsin's Mantle among them.

Excellent work SNCR!

SNCR 64 Owns more Txevu!

This week, we returned to Txevu and smacked down the two Aneuks for loot in addition to Ixt Kial Ivesi and Ixt Quall Nalnn.

We gave Tkarish two shots, and on the first attempt got him down to 62%.

I have no doubt we will take him down next week, after some work on the strategy :)

Excellent work SNCR!! :)

SNCR 63 Owns High Priest Nkosi Bakari!

On our first run through Txevu, SNCR took down Aneuk Nyrt Ymosa, Aneuk Rilst Uskst for loot.

For progression, we stomped down Ixt Hsek Syat for the key to the High Priest's Area, and finally High Priest Nkosi Bakari for our key to Tkarish's lair!

Excellent work SNCR!

SNCR 62 Owns Zomm!

Just a quick posting this week.

This week, SNCR scores its first kill of Zomm, The Seventh Born in Arcstone.

We also killed Zoo, Ptav, Mnat, Dvoin, Shyra and Master of Hate.

Awesome work SNCR!

SNCR 61 Owns Inktu`ta

Last Saturday night, SNCR went into Qvic to kill our weekly goats.  It must suck to have a life expentancy of about 5 minutes.   After many goats were killed and we looted the spoils, we decided to revisit Inktu`ta.  After falling to the might of Noqufiel once, and being slain by the stonemite army another time, SNCR returned, thirsty for blood, and ready to tear the zone apart.

What started as an innocent slaughter of a few goats ended up in a bloody trail through Inktu`ta, slaying Kelekdrix, the Six Cursecallers, numerous Trushar worshippers, some golems and overcoming the numerous traps set before us in the Stonemite infested area.

At the end of this, Noqufiel and the Construct greeted us in the deepest chamber of the temple.  Noqufiel challenged us to a battle, and was promply smacked down.

54 SNCR Members are now Txevu Flagged!

Look! An Update!

SNCR returned this week to hand out some death to various and assorted mobs around Norrath :)

Quick side note - we passed our 1000th loot last weekend /cheer.

SNCR started off in the Wakening Lands, and bagged yet another 1.5 clicky shield for our lovely healers. (They still keep adding me to the DNH list though :( ).

Moving on from the mighty whooping that the Dark Discordling Master got (yet again..will he never learn) we headed over to Wall of Slaughter for everyone's favourite mob!

Yes, you guessed it folks, the ever lovely Girplan Guardian was up next. Funnily enough, he's not so much of a pain now. With the higher resists I have, I resisted all of his endurance drain AE's, so it wasn't all that bad :)

I'm pretty sure there was only one death on the Girplan Guardian in fact.. but.. it would be cruel of me to name names.. /grin.

Next, we rushed over to Qvic for our weekly kicking of mold dropping monster's butt.

Iqthinxa Karnkvi was up first. Zoo, as some call her (due to her preponderance for having lots of pets) went down like a prom queen, followed quickly by her three Rav's, tanked by our lovely Darlend :)

Then she came back for more! Cheek. So, down she went again, gifting us with some nice loot, BiC pieces and another part of the alt access quest for those that missed the first set of Qvic flagging.

We killed Ptav Msha next, quickly burning her down, before moving on to Cynosure Kvanjji.

Not often I get to tank Cyno, interesting fight, with the boatload of AE's that he has. Nevertheless, as ever, we beat him down, again, bringing in some nice loot. Cyno is one of those longer, but not quite as dangerous fights really. I remember the first time we did him was great fun.

Moving on, we quickly dispatched Dvoin and Mnat Msha, before moving on to...

The Silver Dragon of Death! Ok... Rikkukin if you will :) This Dragon seems to not like us much, because whenever we go and try and kill it, it kills us right back! For shame..

So far, SNCR has yet to prevail over this mob, and it seems as though it will take another couple of attempts at least before we get it on farm status, but we will prevail, of that I'm sure :)

Our last target of the evening was an attempt at the infamous Shyra. Despite our first time in the instance, we engaged Shyra herself after killing her quite difficult guards, but unfortunately, didn't quite manage to kill her. She's a tough cookie, that'un =p I'm sure we'll be returning for her in upcoming weeks.

SNCR will return next week, where apparently, there will be a guest appearance by Kastlina, our new puller.. /snicker.

We pulled in a total of 18 loots this week (I think =p)

Fear us Noqufiel, we shall have our revenge!

Once again, we attempted an SNCR first, and came very close. Noqufiel to 18% on our first time attempting Inktu'ta.

We zoned in and took down the pesky Nijacka, and after learning Kelekdrix's encounter mid-fight (o.O) we pulled off a nice win in the first of the larger encounters, and what a fun fight that one is too :)

Pulling in two of the very nice weapons he drops, we then moved on, killing the mini encounter, and heading to the stonemites.

For all the bug reports on the eqforums, the stonemite area wasn't actually all that challenging, although we came close to wiping we are much better prepared for next time, and some excellent teamwork pulled us through. We managed to kill the the remaining trash before the cursecaller event, and even beat the cursecallers!

That one is probably my favourite current event, much kudos to whomever designed that one :)

On to Noqufiel, and after a long drawn out battle after a long long raid, we eventually called it a night, after it became clear we could not quite kill him. It was very close though, and a sincere congratulations to all attendees. Excellent work SNCR!

I'm beginning to wonder if BMR is just going to start handing his loot to us...

Poor guy. It seems like a week doesn't go by where we don't liberate BMR of his loot :) Some nice upgrades and another couple of glowings, followed by a nicely done ZMV run, with some more upgrades and another couple of glowings :)

After our two friends had bit the dust, we added another 1.5'd Beastlord to our ranks, and progressed some more on Ranger_074's epic /grin /tease.

It still amazes me how trivial some of these encounters are nowadays. Makes me very proud to be part of such a raiding organisation :) Keep it up guys otherwise I won't have anything to brag about =p

We met in our usual spot for some more msha farming. Handily beating the goats down for their usual selection of molds and augs :)

After the goats, we had another stab at Adaptation, failing again, due to that pesky darn Construct of Power. Man he sucks. I swear, if he was taken out of the lineup, that trial would be nps /sigh. Ack well, we'll beat him someday soon :)

See you all this Saturday for some more raiding. I'll see if I can't grab some screenshots this time.

MPG Hatred - Beaten!

SNCR beats the MPG Trial of Hatred!

With an excellent display of all round teamwork, SNCR beat the trial of Hatred with its first attempt! Dispatching the Voracious Ferans and some excellent tanking teamwork led to our first MPG Trial win, and some excellent loot. Among them the Earring of Mental Incursion, and Totem of Shattered Hope.

Expect to see more beaten trials soon :)

Along the way, we again dispatched Battlemaster Rhorious, and his pet snake, goat and minion golems. Its inspiring to think how trivial this encounter has become to such a proficient raid force.

With a ToB run during the past fortnight, and several msha runs to boot, SNCR has continued to gear up its raiding force. More and more molds and tob pieces have been dropping, brining our gear level up to a significantly better standard.

MPG Group Trials are now a common sight and its good to see people working on gearing themselves up outside of the raid nights.

On to other news, alas, but we say goodbye to our Raid Leader of over a year. Vicaire and Nicholana have decided to move on to other things, and our gratitude and respect goes with them. A number of us dyed our armour green in recognition of our past leading duo. Fezagorn has effectively taken over as the leader of our merry band of raiders, and I'm sure, as evidenced by Saturday's raid, we will only continue to get stronger.

The AE ramp! Make it stop!!

Just a short update this week folks   :)

After last weeks delayed msha farming /snicker Fez. We formed up in Qvic for our usual goat-kicking. For once it seems that slacker raid leader Princess Buttercup did his job, and all 3 of our targets were up shortly, and then put back to sleep again shortly.

Afterwards, we took another attempt at two trials, Corruption and our first try at Adaptation as SNCR. Despite failing both, we are definately closer to achieving victory in these difficult, yet highly enjoyable events. Corruption is definately a mad rush as the mobs pour in towards the raid.

I'll be back in two weeks with a full update, as we're not running SNCR over the holiday weekend. Best rest up mobs, because we'll be back to take your loot soon   ;)

Theatre of Blood now filled with Corpses!

SNCR returned to ToB again this week, but not as part of our regular Saturday evening raids. Pulling in twenty loots on a Sunday felt pretty good to me J

Our main Headline however was our first attempt at the MPG Trial of Corruption.

After a dissapointing Msha run (wth augs ><) we headed over to MPG, and began our plow to the instance Zone Line. Heading into the trial, and with everyone's heart racing as we knew this was one of the more hectic events we would be doing for a while, we listened to the wise words of Zen Master Vic..

Alas, but Master Vic's teaching were not enough for us to succesfully best the minions of Corruption (Not that we didn't give a damn good try!).

The first wave was exciting.. but with the benefit of pre-targetting.. The Second wave was.. interesting, with no pretargetting, random mezzing, rogues which would appear from nowhere and run at bard speed o.O. Then finally, we came to the third and final wave. 18 mobs descended upon us like a pack of wolves, and even with a display of fine kiting by some random warrior in green, alas, we failed, and the minions of corruption bested us. You can beat we'll be back for blood next week though!

Despite our failure at Corruption, the SNCR raiders went on to beat Volkara once again, enabling more people to gain progress on their DoN progression.

With the win over Volkara, and the Msha farming during the day, SNCR pulled in thirty-three loots on Saturday alone, combined with twenty loots on the Sunday. For two days work, fifty-three loots isn't bad eh? :) Good work SNCR :)

Slacker News Editor Returns!

Yes yes, I know :) My humblest apologies about the lateness of this update, but due to RL constraints (Dorf tossing takes it out of me) I have finally managed to find some time to update the SNCR front page :)

And what an update it is!

 

Since our last update, and quite firmly stomping Barxt into the ground, we've continued our farming efforts in Qvic, pulling in 10+ qvic loots a week, plus killing our good old friend Battlemaster Rhorious, and various other mobs in the zones of Norrath. Alas, but due to the same RL problems, I don't have any pictures for you this week. I will return with pictures next week!

 

Amongst other things in the past few weeks, our first members got their Theater of Blood flags! Congratulations to all those SNCR attendees whom are ToB flagged, and congratulations on our first ToB drops!

 

Apparently tanking in ToB is somewhat akin to tanking in Uqua.. so I'm really looking forward to it.. /nod. No really, I am :)

Our first ToB loot run brought in 12 loots :)

 

Amongst which were:

Skullcap of Whispered Death

Primal Element Breeches

Vengeful Blood-Alloy Armguards

Cowl of Phenomenal Power

Slippers of Phenomenal Power

and

Breastplate of Superior Divinity

 

Amongst our Qvic farming sessions, we have bought in armour pieces such as:

Nadien's Guantlets of the Archer

Vadd's Guantlets of Elite Combat

Vadd's Bracer of Elite Combat

Trimdet's Vambraces of Chivalry

Pressl's Sandals of Balance

Luvwen's Boots of Melody

Nadien's Boots of the Archer

Vadd's Bracer of Elite Combat

Vadd's Bracer of Elite Combat

and

Lelyen's Sleeves of Enchantment

 

AND, BMR has graced us with his ever popular selection of loots, earning us, amongst other things:

Bone-Rending Battle Sword

and

Impervious Stonelinked Armguards

 

Tirranun has also fallen under our might once again, (thank god those ae's got removed is all I can say), wheras his cousin (What kind of relations do these dragons have anyway... Loremaster?!) Rikkukin is still sadly evading us. I can foresee a certain silver dragon dying before too long however!!

 

SNCR has come on in leaps and bounds in the past few weeks, the Qvic gearing effort is really starting to pay off, and mobs whom were once much feared have now become trivial (Hulcror to name one /grin).

 

Congratulations SNCR, lets look forward to this weekend :)

 

Hello Candyland!!

 

SNCR has begun its gearing efforts in Qvic, the candyland of calling.. I mean Prayer ground of calling.. my bad :)

 

Over the past two weeks (Yes yes, I slack on updates) SNCR has killed numerous different 1.5 targets, loot mobs, and beaten the mobs in Qvic to a pulp, all in aid of getting us better gear /grin.

 

I will be posting a full update next week, so I'll leave you with some of the loot we have bought in so far.

 

Vadd's Bracer of Elite Combat

Vadd's Helm of Elite Combat

Dakkamor's Vambraces of the Divine

Lelyen's Sandals of Entrancement

Chipped Iron Ixtshoe

Ixt-Hide Skullcap

Maul of Stonemending

Nunkin's sandals of Pure elements

 

 and much much much more. Keep it up everyone, excellent work!

 

SNCR 42 beats Uqua! Welcome to Qvic!

 

SNCR 42 has done it. In a little over a month and a half of ONLY one raid a week, we have beaten the Ikkinz raid trials, stomped the Keeper of the Altar and claimed our sliver. After which, in just FIVE raids, we have left our mark on Uqua, leaving Vrex Barxt Qurat nothing more than a Specter in his once mighty temple!

 

image011

 

How the mighty have fallen :)

 

Some peerless teamwork, and excellent focus bought us through! Led by our fearsome warrior in green and the mighty cleric beside him we laid waste to the Ocean-God Chantry, killing both Tqiv Araxt the Enraged and

Tqiv Qukret the Furious in short time. Looting our rewards, we moved swiftly further in, beating the AE for the second time running, and annhilating the specter room. Cragbeast Queen, we will be coming for you too :)

 

Next up for a taste of SNCR whirlwind destruction was the Devestating Construct. His mighty fists proved futile as we pounded him to dust, leaving a mere trail in the air as we sought out the guidance of Preshna the Lost.

 

Pausing for a moment whilst our fearless leaders went over our strategies for the final fight, each of us took the time to reflect on what it meant to be in Uqua.. and the chanters took the time to change their underwear.. again.

 

Speaking the entry phase, we finally engaged our nemesis. Barxt stood immobile, seemingly out of reach of our power until we had begun to best his mighty Guardian of Destruction. Razing his brutal golem with sheer

grit, we swiftly moved in for the kill. Despair as our finest warriors fell to his mighty blows, and joy as his health quickly dwindled, the two channelers, mere shadows of their former selves made a return, only to be ran around and confused by our valiant knights.

 

Finally, the end neared, after fully half the raid had fallen to the combined onslaught of the channelers and Barxt, the temple watcher saw his doom. Enraging, but all for naught as our combined forces fended off his attempts to see us off. His remaining health fading under a blitz of attacks. The faithful clerics ressurecting those of us sacrificed to the greater good, we proceeded to finish Barxt's channelers, and the mighty pet of our enchanters, the Spectral Trusher Worshipper. Finally, the dust settled, and we had claimed our entryway to Qvic, prayer grounds of calling.

 

 

Congratulations SNCR 42!!

SNCR 39 downs Tirranun the Ancient Protector!!

image013

 

After putting the fiery dragon into a coma, we sat back and relaxed for a few minutes whilst we killed his irksome servants. After a few minutes of slumber, the lava dragon awoke once more, before we put him back to sleep permenantly with an impressive show of DPS!

 

Tirranun kindly left us nice loot in the shape of:

 

Brimstone Spaulders! – Meglor

Smouldering Claw of Tirranun! – Mester

Hands of Flame! – Laniele

 

Alas but not everything went perfect this week. Once again, despite an all round excellent effort, we failed to complete our trial in Uqua. That's certainly not a sore point however, as we got within mere seconds of killing the mighty Twins of Fury and Rage on only our second attempt!

 

Next week, we'll return for yet more savage destruction of zones and mobs far and wide ;)
