Tonight Raging Fury has put the mighty prismatic dragon Kerafyrm the Awakened back to sleep as the first guild on
Antonius Bayle and fifth serverwide.
It has been a long way for us. We started our first real attempt on Kerafyrm on may 27th and early june we reached the
50% mark. On june 10th we reached 21% and the goal was in sight after spending 7 full days working on Kerafyrm when
lockouts on the rest of the zone and patches allowed it. It was a challenge to adjust to the AE, but we have kept improving our tactics and alot of different
approaches have been tried, while in the meantime our execution got better and better, eventually ending with this:
Once again we confirm our position among the best in EQ. We can only regret that we didnt get the chance to kill the same pre-patch version that we had been working on and came close to killing. However we are ready to
take on the challenge if/when the encounter gets retuned in difficulty again. After all, its not just about winning,
but winning with style!
I will try to get some screenies of the loot as soon as possible
Just a brief update on our progress. After clearing the other wings, we have now entered Kerafyrm's domain and on the
way there disposed of this little wyrmling. After that we took a brief visit to see Kerafyrm, but we were already past
our normal raidhour so we just stopped by to let her know we are coming. Soon...
In other news, I find it worth mentioning that Darkwind has decided to close its doors and disband. Regardless of any
differences there might have been, you can only respect their accomplishments over the years and be saddened when one
of the older raidguilds in Everquest calls it a day.
We have in the past received some high quality people from Darkwind
and although we have limited room at the moment, I do welcome those that we can offer a spot. I am sure you will be wellreceived and make a good addition to our team and I hope you will find a home with Raging Fury that matches what you had.
To those venturing to other guilds and servers, best of luck to you all and hats of to Darkwind past and present.
After tearing through the other wings, we needed a little time on the Air wing. Not so much rethinking tactics but more a finetuning of our execution.
So I am proud that I did not promise too much when I said we would have an update soon with a Dead Vyskudra. Some will say we just finally got our act together, while others will say it was Misse's promise to talk less if we won that made all the difference. The result remains the same, Vyskudra is down and we are on our way to Kerafyrm!
I guess it is time for another overdue update to replace the april's fools one. At first we didn't really have
much to report since we were just farming MMM for more flags until we could safely enter Crystallos. So
originally I was just going to make a small update that everything was going as planned and we now had MMM down
to a one day farmstatus and post a little lockout picture
But before I got around to that, we had already started our first raids in Crystallos, so I figured I might as
well delay the update a little and wait until we had some nice screenshots and hopefully a victory in Crystallos
to show instead. So we ended up clearing Fire wing after playing around with Tjudawos for a couple days
And not only that. We progressed a little in Earth wing also and I decided I might as well wait until Earth was
down also instead of having to make an update soon after again. Ofcourse we ended up taking down Kildrakaun and
clearing Earth
Next up was Ice wing. Again we rolled over the first event and then needed a bit of tuning and learning on the
final dragon in this wing, but he went down eventually
Now we have started working on what seems to be the major hurdle in the zone; Vyskudra in the Air wing. He seems
to be quite challenging at the moment. Then again, so does most stuff until you figure it out, so Im hoping it
wont be too long until we can present you with a screenshot of his corpse.
Crystallos has given us quite alot of nice items, so I will end this update with a selection of some of the loot
that we have gotten in the zone so far in addition to the armor core upgrades.
Feel free to check back frequently. There should be another update coming soon hopefully
