For aproximately five months now, this page has been completely static,
primarily due to the fact that the recent expansion was possibly
one of the worst if not the worst to this date, though that is my
personal opinion, merely to underline.
Raiding activity has been somewhat feeble as of late, the once challenging
plane of time clearing has become all but routine, and currently occupies
from four to five hours once a week.
In lieu of the upcoming Gates of Discord expansion however, promising
new content in addition to way overdue alternate advancement abiLities
seem to have awakened the interest for many once again, thus attendance
is on the rise, and hopefully there will be new victories to report here
in the coming weeks, as I personally see little if no point to posting
a weekly Quarm story here.
Last but not least, what update would be complete sans some images and
a few random quotes. The first picture displays our strategy should Klavs
occasionally die during a plane of time clearing, and the second shows
the everlasting interest in the trailblazing lore.
A gathering was held anew in Copenhagen two weekends ago, with high attendance
from both active and retired members, in what has been a trademark of our
guild, namely the social real life gatherings.
Through Taxa, our event coordinator, Jubii was willing to sponsor not only the
location, but also the beverages, yes you read that correctly, free beer, a
fact which even lured Yrgass out of his dormant existence in Sweden. Without
disclosing too many details, Yrgass most definitely left his mark with those
reponsible for cleaning post of the jovial occurrences Saturday evening.
On a sad note however, Taxa's reign of social events will be receding as real
life priorities have taken precedence. Faiar will be attempting to fill the
void, and I am certain many look forward with interest to what oddities might
occur in the near future.
Having merely attended one of Taxa's infamous events personally, it is still
my privilege to thank him on behalf of the guild for all the effort he has put
into planning and executing these gatherings.
As far as GoD is concerned, we have little of interest to report as of yet.
Apart from flagging most of our guild for Kod'Taz, the rest of the Taelosian
hemisphere is still under thorough investigation

The Chamber of Righteousness yesterday became the first raid encounter Raging Fury
completed within the Gates of Discord expansion. Having successfully led a group
to victory through the initial three trials within the broken trialgrounds, Klavs
was able to trigger a more onerous path to the Altar of Destruction, and more
importantly, one with the ability to host more than merely six adventurers.
Dismissing the haughty tales of overwhelming difficulty in regards to every GoD
encounter, six artifacts of righteousness were recovered sans the rumoured audacity
of the events deemed a necessity for reaching the chamber in question.
The storyline of the taelosian continent is beginning to unwreath itself, though
prior to actually participating in intricate lore, two further trials await.
During the clearing we were also lucky enough to pick up our first pieces with a 40%
damage increase focus, one ended in the hands of Frezzer, who somewhere in between
his sporadic linkdeaths actually managed to state an interest, and the second to Hoyas.
Also of interest, Haillon, the undisputed halfing king of aggro, had an epiphany
and miraculously enough bought spell casting subtlety 1 as of last night.
The chamber of Glorification was the second raid event of Ikkinz, and much in
coherence with the initial trial, it was completed Saturday without
much effort involved.
Anthas became the first ranger to adorn himself with the latest weaponary fashion
GoD has to offer, and as the picture in addition to the following quotes will
clearly display, quickly became the center of attention based on the esthetic
quality of this particular item.
We also attempted to complete the trials of transcendence, though it is with a
touch of acerbity I will refrain from uttering any profanities in this update. Instead
readers of this page may click here
for Timmok's more than adequate coverage of our progress there.
In lieu of Wednesdays patch, the chamber of transcendence was revisited in hopes
of more specific aid in regards to what kind of brawn was needed to slay
the individual sentinels of Ikkinz.
Like many a guild, our progress in Kod Taz had until this point been halted
thoroughly by this all but broken encounter. Though rumour proclaimed several guilds
had actually completed the event prior to the changes brought live this week.
Thus we also blithely attempted a haughty zerg fest of random killshots and
intricate division of melee and caster dps, to no avail, merely to illustrate
some of the vagaries that took place in the chambers of destruction.
Nevertheless, with the implemented changes, the encounter was completed with ease,
and baffled yet jovial magicians felt useful for a change as the sentinel weak
to coalesced damage fell to the ground. As the pictures most likely illustrate, I
was not present personally, and the screenshot button seems to have eluded my guild
once again.

Innoruuk's lair, whilst Spellquestor used the occasion to clear his own name, also
worth noticing, the secret of getting a cleric to join your Kod Taz group!
Having successfully completed the open beta encounter of transcendence a few
days ago, it was with an eerie feel of anticipation that we approached the taelosian altar yesterday evening.
Sadly we were all but disappointed upon discovering the tendencies of the trial mentioned initially, apparantly
leaving the players completely clueless in regards to what is actually required to kill a mob, has struck home with
our beloved developers at Sony.
Eventually stumbling across "the correct energy deemed a necessity to vanquish this foe", the final encounter was a complete
reciprocal of the trial in general, in other words, enjoyable.
The keeper of the altar was however not in a photogenic mood, thus seconds after pressing F10, entering my camera mode, I was easily disposed of,
limiting the pictorial coverage, but believe it or not, Trille actually managed to snap the occasion, though unfortunately with my corpse displayed amid the remnants.
The Pixxt summoner circle in Kod'Taz has long been an intriguing
event, both in regards to difficulty and to its potential role in
the progression pattern.
Having merely attempted the ring once prior to today, the ring was
completed sans too much asperity, and various items were distributed
amongst those present. Tingle and trille once again reap the acclaim
for providing the pictorial coverage.
We are currently seeking a new playerbase to join our guild. All classes may apply through
either our application forum, or by contacting Karde in game. Keep in mind that a vaste number
of people continuously inquire about the requirements needed and playtimes deemed a necessity
to join the guild, thus should you not get an answer immediately, be patient.
Like many a guild, there are certain quaLities we expect from any applicant, though activity
is the primary trait we are looking for. Obviously gear and flags already in possession will
be a definite bonus, though the guild will help you obtain the gear and flags needed should
you be willing to put an effort into your trial period.
Cross server applications are most welcome, and though we realise leaving your home server and
friends might be onerous for some, feel free to ask some of our other cross server members how
they were received and treated upon moving to Antonius Bayle, namely Thadew, Myrian, Galathorn and
Galiaan.
Details concerning requirements, playtimes and similar can be found here and here.
Having received many an application during the last week, recruitment has been closed until further notice. Reflagging
is well under way, much obliged to a joint Coirnav with Magus. One exception to the recruitment status however,
those already flagged for Plane of Time might inquire ingame via one of the officers whether or not the possibility
of joining exists.
Many a night has of late been spent within the onerous
walls of the ocean chantry, attempting to breach the harmony
of respectively the Temples of Rage and Fury. Despite the
similarity to our guildname, Barxt proved to be no ally,
though on our fourth night amid the spirits of Uqua, the guardian of Qvic fell to a vast force of 54
adventurers.
On behalf of the guild and myself, I would like to extend an
extensive gratitude to Timmok. Without his efforts, this victory
would be weeks away. For many of us, it has been quite some time since the last adrenaline rush occurred during an EQ raid, though I remain fairly certain I was not the only one enraptured by this encounter tonight. Hopefully all of those who endured the tedious hours of mastering this encounter, will find further motivation as the intricate storyline of Taelosia unwreaths itself.
Prior to engaging Qvic in full force, obvious reflagging events will take precedence, in other words an additional Uqua / Altar clearing
