It's a great feeling when your turn is finally up for a Veeshan's Peak clear... It only comes around so often these days. <Awakened> took advantage of our fortune and scheduled the clear for a prime time beat down. Within an hour, all six dragons had been slain. The down side was walking away pretty empty handed aside from a shiny Robe of the Azure Sky and a Shroud of Veeshan.

The following morning, <Awakened> crushed our third consecutive Statue of Rallos Zek. He was generous enough to bless us with two Breastplate of Eradication. Unfortunately, as with the previous kill, we were unable to muster a sizeable force for Avatar of War. He decided to take his ball and go home, leaving the question of what might have been.

Only after finishing up Sleeper's Tomb Golems, coming away with a Primal Velium Spear, <Awakened> was up for Tunare. The clear took a few hours, leaving us stranded when Zlandicar spawned, but no problem! We came away from the Plane of Growth with many great items including an Essence of Nature, a Petrified Heartwood Flamberge, and a Girdle of Living Thorns.

As we left Growth, the weekly spawns were already upon us. When Lord Yelinak spawned at 1 in the morning, <Awakened> was unable to match the forces of the alliance, RAM, proving that more is more.

After taking out Aaryonar and Lord Koi`Doken, with only a Greaves of the Deep Sea to show for it, we tried our luck with King Tormax. That's right, Eratani secured us our first Ken Tormax in quite awhile. The wait was worth it, as we walked out of the frozen kingdom with a pair of Boots of the Storm and the obligatory King Tormax's Head.

The day was only just beginning, as <Awakened>'s tracking crew secured us more and more. Zlexak, Cekenar, Lord Feshlak, Lady Mirenilla, Eashen of the Sky; the named kept coming, all culminating with a Claw of Lightning.

As socks were reaching full capacity, Cazic Thule gave us a taste of his zone's new mechanics. Lag was a major issue with somewhere near 170 people in the zone. <Awakened> dealt with it, cleared the zone, and made sure to secure the pull before car RamRod swooped in. Facing the god of Fear proved simple enough; it seemed like the toughest part was not desyncing due to the massive force of onlookers.

Not two hours later, Vulak`Aerr made <Awakened> gather again, as Valtron's Necklace of Wonder and Akkirus' Mask of Warfare were ripped from his cold scaly hide. The remainder of the night into Monday morning went off without a hitch. Jorlleag, Lady Nevederia, Gozzrem, Telkorenar all fell to the swords of <Awakened>.

As our east coasters were getting ready for work, the last few mobs spawned. <Awakened> picked up a quick Sevalak kill while watching the Super Troopers have their way with Vyemm.

<Awakened> capped our week off with a Primal Velium Warsword, another Breastplate of Eradication off our fourth consecutive Statue of Rallos Zek kill, and a very satisfying Avatar of War kill. Even if he dropped 3x Blade of Carnage and a Flayed Barbarian Hide Mask, the satisfaction came from still being the only guild able to kill this beast without help.

Another great week. It's so impressive to see how attention to detail, preparation, and teamwork can allow our saucy rabble of players to achieve things that no one else on the server has been able to. It's truly a testament to the dedication of so many, the leadership of a few, and the willingness of players to contribute what they can. I know I'm just a small cog in Awakened but it's been really fun to see all Velious has to offer! Grats again on a great week ladies and gents!!!!!!!!!!

great week, loved capping it off with an afternoon AoW !

praise to our trackers/FTEers - you da best

The number of players is important, but it also is fun to do things on your own, win or lose. We attempted Avatar one of these past spawns on our own with mid 50s I believe, and wiped letting him despawn. It was worth the attempt because you can't learn unless you try. You also can't win unless you attempt. Anyway, we only had mid 60s for this Avatar kill. Not the lowest we have had, but an impressive number less than our normal 70s and higher than our struggling 30s.

Ken Tormax is does not play with Barbie Tunare however. Eratani has done a lot of research on Ken, studying his every move. It was getting to a point where we all started to wonder about him...

You forgot the beautiful Flayed Barbarian Hide Mask that was NUCLEAR WASTED on a baguette-globbling frenchie. But thanks for your logs! I'm normally so busy passing out loot that I forget to take them =)

[Raev]

It's amazing how good that class composition is. Like 2/3 clerics and pure melee. Only two Paladins . . . [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

My mistake, Cecily. I am glad you were able to help take raid logs for us while waiting for a port out.

[Tue Sep 13 13:44:29 2016] There are 67 players in Kael Drakkal.

Was the log I saw when I made my post, however that was for Statue.

I love other people taking our raid logs for us! The stalking is awesomesauce!

I missed the weekend due to college football fandom, but what a kick ass kill list, and all completed under one tag! That AoW was especially satisfying. Harder to know how its going while staring at a wall on a cleric, but felt like the first 80% was pretty clean outside of a few random tank deaths. A win is a win on AoW in my books.

Back for more this weekend!

We were doing great for awhile, but mid fight some people started to desync. Server lag has been a real problem lately. Or it might have been the bystanders peaking around the corner, but we had some major lag issues in the CH rotation mid way through.
