Just a reminder, we are progressing in heroic Antorus this Saturday. If you want to raid with us, you need an ilvl of 940 and make sure you have read the rules and requirements to raid (located here: https://www.ministryofdefense.net/raiding/raiding-rules-and-regulations/) AND have either messaged Zextol, Ganelon, Telanlan, or Quetzie that you agree to the rules by Saturday AM. There are no exceptions to this rule. It is to ensure the success of the guild as we progress through harder material.

Congratulations to the following raffle winners for the past week:

Auksana for winning a Empyrial Titan Crown of the Peerless (Mastery/Crit) courtesy of Ganelon!

Starblade for winning the Vigilance Perch Mail Legendary courtesy of Quetzie!!

Ripitnsipit for winning Four 30 slot Hexweave Bags courtesy of Wolframheart!

Raldrice for winning a Void Shrouded Satchel/Touch of the Void trinket!

and last but not least…

Ganelon – You won the Weekly 10,000G Giveaway!

Just a reminder to all our raiders: We have a few new Rules & Regulations you need to check out before tomorrow. After you’ve read them, go to the Raid Announcements Discord channel for further instructions. Finally, make sure you’ve watch all the assigned Raider Homework videos before Saturday.

On account of the holiday weekend, we might not have a full raid for either Saturday (progression) or Sunday (old raids), but we will have alternate activities planned if that’s the case.

As encouragement to get people involved, Orektarg was nice enough to sponsor a raffle for all participants in the classic raid run-through the other night. The prize? Choice of Battle.net store pet! Zuldat was the lucky winner, and he chose Lil’ Ragnaros – a solid (and appropriate!) choice.

Want in on the fun? Join us Sundays at 6:30pm EST!

(Haha, Uro! I got to announce THIS raffle win!)

Yesterday the guild had its’ inaugural Sunday Fun Night, where we’ll go for achievements and transmogs as a Guild group!

The night took us on a whirlwind tour of the Classic Raids: Molten Core, Blackwing Lair, Ruins Ahn’Qiraj, and  Temple of Ahn’Qiraj. While some of the most desired pieces of transmog gear unfortunately didn’t drop, we found ourselves with a plethora of Red Battle Tanks – more than enough for everyone who still needed one! In addition, several people were able to check a few rare Battle Pets off their bucket list.

As a result of the runs, though, we successfully completed the Classic Raid achievement!

Following the four Classic raids, we moved on to helping one of our newer Guild Members, Zuldat, experience some of the Cataclysm content he missed while taking a break from the game. Having not played since WotLK, he was taken aback to see the damage that had been done to Mount Hyjal in his absence. Prompted by our tales of Ragnaros’ sins, he vowed to bring down the rogue Elemental Lord, plunging into the Firelands with his guild behind him.

When we had some issues with Only The Penitent during our striving for the achievements, we took a quick break and redirected our focus onto Al’Akir in the Throne of the Four Winds, bringing him down before he could even respond to us.

Returning to the Firelands after that, we resolved ourselves to push on, and successfully brought down Ragnaros for the second time that evening. All in all, it was a great experience for everyone involved, and if it is any indication of what Sunday nights will be for the Guild, you should do your best to come experience it with us!
