The festering lycanthrope that had lingered within Tris Wallow III for close to three thousand years was purged for the first time ever tonight on Antonius Bayle as the second tier of the Demi-Plane of Blood lost its diplomatic tactician. Torn from within by the remnants of what was once a brilliant strategic mind, Tris sought to rid herself of what had sadly dissipated her to a state of insanity.

Tris Wallow was a highly interesting encounter, and much to Imothep's (our local champion of lore) approval the lore leading up to this event played a significant part in overcoming it. The reflagging component of the Demi-Plane was also discovered tonight, and a sigh of relief was heard when we all understood that curse progression flagging is a thing of the past.

Several guilds are currently progressing through the Demi-Plane at a fast rate, racing eachother in an attempt to be the first to finish this particular expansion. Regardless of outcome, this phase of the game is in my opinion the most interesting one, as newly aquired loot is instantly linked on a serverwide basis merely seconds after they appear on lucy. Most servers have their fair share of intrigues between guilds battling for the top spot, but personally we feel that you should relish that competition and embrace it for what it is, namely a catalyst that will motivate your guild beyond their normal boundaries. How you get there is equally important to when you get there.

We are still looking for a few dedicated clerics or dark drachnids to join our guild, if you are either, do not hesitate to contact Illandra in game, or utilize the private message function on our forum. Note that dark drachnids are expected to attend a mezzbreaking course prior to commencing their potential trial.

Just a brief update today for those who like to browse other guild sites and keep up to date on progess.

I am proud to say that the Raging Fury train has started rolling. With the faction frenzy that came with TSS, we decided to go at our own pace and make sure everyone got flagged and noone felt left behind and do lots of this stuff as raids. It may have taken us a week longer than some, but in the end it will pay off in terms of less burnout I believe. One of the things that separates us from others, is our teamwork and I must say I am proud of how the Raging Fury members have banded together and pulled through this phase that left alot of people very frustrated and worried about being left behind.

So has it paid off? I think it is safe to say it has. We downed Stitch as the first on the server and serverwide second. We downed Sothgar as second on the server a couple days after Tide who in return took down Stitch. Nice going guys. Let us show everyone that AB is the place to be for high end raiding!

This places us amongst the top 5 guilds to have killed both Stitch and Sothgar and gotten access to north wing instance raids. But that was not enough for us. After entering north wing, we decided to give the first event a go after getting pretty much a full raid inside. Fast forward and the army of Dyn'Leth is scattered on the floor all around us in what can only be described as a pretty chaotic fight. Current status for us at the moment is having defeated the first two events in north wing. Way to go Raging Fury!

Even though the second event for some reason left the corpse empty and no chests popping, we have still gotten a few decent loots along the way to where we are, including the first bow I have actually seen a ranger want in years! I leave you with an assorted selection of goodies from the Raging Fury treasure vault:

Good news! Recruiting is open for selected classes that want to be a part of our fantastic guild. I am not in charge of recruiting and Illandra will be able to answer more correctly exactly what we are looking for, but I do believe 1-2 clerics, rogue, shadowknight, monk and a couple more are on the wishlist. So dont hesitate to send a tell to Illandra if interested

Raging Fury is looking for more players to join our ranks. In these poker times, you could say we are pretty much playing with a full deck of cards, all colors represented and we usually have the winning hand when we raid. However, that does not mean we dont have room to add an ace or two! Generally speaking, we are looking for demiplane level geared players, with around 800 AAs and high playtime. Exceptions to gear and AAs can be made and each applicant will be judged on an individual basis, but our guidelines should still give you a rough idea of what we would like.

You must be prepared to spend the needed time on faction work, endure numerous deaths breaking into new content and not get frustrated when the going gets tough. If you believe this profile fits you, please take a closer look at our recruiting section Here! Both native AB players as well as servertransfers are more than welcome to apply. Once you make up your mind, please send us your info either as PM or preferably via e-mail here: Apply! and we will get back to you as soon as possible. Feel free to include any extra info you believe will help your application

Ok, Enough about recruiting for now. Ofcourse I could not make an update without fancy pictures and progression updates! Since our last update, we have finished a round of reflagging for north wing Ashengate and we went back and took out Lethar and Dyn'Leth

We also took a sneak peek into the Frostcrypt progression line. Even though I dont have any pictures of the major encounters on this side of the progression, you can rest assured that there will be tons and tons of Dead giants very soon

So what are we working on at the moment? The big final event in Ashengate, Lethar and Selay. While a challenging event, others have killed him. Raging Fury will soon as well.

Secrets of Faydwer is here. With all the xp grinding, flagging, faction work and bugs that new expansions bring. But also with new scenery, cool new models, places to explore and new mobs to kill So we have been doing exactly that. I think we are mostly done with the levelgrind and the flagging, so now we have started on the monster slaying. And ofcourse we will share our victories with you all. Here is a little glimpse at the critters we have met so far in SoF and who has fallen by the hands of Raging Fury

As a nice side effect, the last two times we visited Solteris, we cleared the whole zone in one day with a surprising low number on casualties total Stay tuned for some "real" SoF raid mobs soon!

This could be the motto of the newest Everquest expansion Seeds of Destruction, as the background story is about correcting the destruction of Norrath brought upon us all by the agents of Discord, who manipulated events in our past. This brings us to some crucial points in the history of Everquest like the building of Qeynos, the battle between dragons and Iksar or the fight in Bloody Kithicor between Lanys T'Vyl and Firiona Vie. This expansion shows the rich lore which EQ has built up over the years and people like our own guild loremaster Imothep rejoice while diving deep into the abundance of quests. One good part about this expansion is though, that not everyone needs to complete all the quests, so people less inclined to quest still can participate in raids without feeling like a burden.

So, what can you expect in Seeds of Destruction from Raging Fury, the guild that was the first on AB to stop the invasion of the Muramites into Norrath back during 'Omens of War' by defeating Overlord Mata Muram? Absolutely right, we are going stop them again, be it in present time or in the past! We started this new expansion with a few days off so people could get to level 85 and do some of the tasks in the various themes, tasks which are needed by at least one person to request those raids which will bring us closer towards our goal to confront the Army of Discord in their own homelands. So far we have completed all the raids in Oceangreen Hills, Field of Scale and Bloody Kithicor with a very cool looking endboss:

While not all of them were overwhelming, the lore itself is really interesting and especially the 'Last Confrontation' between Jaled Dar and Emperor Ganak on his Sokokar in the Field of Scale was fast paced and fun.

The loot on this particular event wasn't too impressive, but it was delivered with style - nothing better than a mighty dragon corpse next to a chest:

We have also downed 'the Crystal Tyronant' in the 'Plane of Earth invasion setting', which had not too shabby loot (but of course I was not online that evening so no screenshots there, I might add some later) and are working on the next progression event there, an event which looks like the first real challenge in this expansion so far. We are definitely looking forward to it! So, do you think you might have what it takes to become a member of the only guild in Everquest that has finished among the top five serverwide in every expansion since 'Gates of Discord' more than 4 years ago? We have a few rare spots open at the moment, check our recruitment section for details or talk to Illandra.

Since the last news update we have been very busy. There have been lots of fights, and while some of them were interesting from a conceptual point of view, so far we haven't really found anything really challenging - something we really hope will happen in the end zone of this expansion: The Citadel of the Worldslayer!

The biggest issues so far we have had with the sons of Rallos Zek in Eriak's Downfall (admittedly a tough script) and with the numerous bugs inside the Rallos Returns event, at which end nonetheless we stood inside the Rathe chamber where we stopped RZ from taking the power of the council:

The next task we had was to find the trigger for the last raid in the Invasion of Earth-theme (to my knowledge we weren't the only guild with this problem), but once we had it nailed down we proceeded and interrupted the ritual by the Discord agents to prevent them from changing history:

So, we now had enough flagged for Korafax (aka Discord) to start raiding there and on the first visit we met a very cool looking guy named Pallorax the Soul Slayer:

He was so dark that he was more shadows than anything else, so excuse the overlighting on the pictures. Apart from 2 armor molds he also dropped the following stuff:

We weren't done for the day yet so we thought we should pay a visit to a more traditionally looking mob Venom Lord Ksathrax:

The result of this fight wasn't too much different from the first one, we smacked him down and got some shiny new toys:

The last fight in this zone is the Mindshear Avatar (pictures coming soon), which shouldn't stand in our way very long either, so that we can fully start the farming of the needed keys to the Citadel. 2 keys per mob means 6 keys per week so you can pretty much plan ahead on when you will see the first pictures of RF raiding in the home of the Worldslayer.

Stay tuned!
