Final Spirit Beast, Sapphiron

Over the past couple of days, Frenzyfever has managed to bag himself 2 of the 4 Spirit Beasts. This is an incredible feat of persistence and determination towards this rare collection, but finally, Frenzyfever has managed to tame Loque'nahak! Arguably the most elusive and hardest one of the 4 to tame, this completing his collection! Congratulations to Frenzyfever! :D Was a good job we stayed up them extra 10 minutes after a sneaky Zul'Gurub run ;)

Sapphiron... We have all bested Naxxramas and lived to tell the tale, however... To celebrate New Years, the guild got together for one last raid of 2009, and being that most people have been out celebrating the festivities, we thought it would be a great idea to try and 5 man a Raid boss... Good idea right? Right! So we went ahead and attempted Anub'rekhan, which ultimately failed. After this, what else could we try, for shits and giggles obviously! Sapphiron... The fight lasted a good 10-15 minutes, no deaths and no frost resistence. It was EPIC! Below is a picture of the members who took part, good job guys!:

As you may have also noticed, Frenzyfever is now Alliance and has joined our Guild! Tis' good news all 'round and great to have you dude! :)

It's a Proto Drake Christmas!

Woot! After a full year of World Events, Patches, a new Expansion and more to follow, Zukiji has finally managed to obtain the achievement 'What a Long, Strange trip it has been!' with the attached mount, [Reins of the Violet Proto Drake]! A 310% mount for Cataclysm is going to help quite a bit ;)

Also, finally after all the hard work trying to get good groups for 'Less-Rabi', me and Eetio managed to bag ourselves the [Reins of the Red Proto Drake] today!

2 Proto drakes in 1 day, not bad I guess? ;)

Glory of the Hero

Tonight has seen Luxray, my Druid, getting more than 1 step closer to his first Proto Drake! Mainly thanks to Eetio, Enoronan, Skellibjalla and Stratocaster (Who's paladin I can't name due to not being able to type his name out xD) who stuck together for a good 3 hours solid of Heroic Achievement Grinding. Each one with it's own story, and each one unmissed, you guys rock! I'd also like to point out that Skellibjalla has got 112 companion pets in game, which, to my knowledge is the most amount on Agamaggan, so extra gratz to her :D !

The most notable achievement gained in my eyes has to be 'Watch Him Die'. My god. For this achievement, we had Strat's Paladin tanking the adds, or the watchers out the boss room towards the entrance while Eetio tanks the main boss, Eno and Skelli DPS it down, and I keep the group up as normal. Sounds simple right? Well infact, it was quite the opposite. The actual fight was very short due to DPS nuking it down as hard as possible, but the beginning, and the sustain that Strat's Pally managed to pull off was incredible! I actually do not know how he managed to stay alive for that amount of time without a decent heal, but he managed to do it, thus, buying us enough time to down the boss. Despite the achievement is called 'Watch Him Die', the Watchers didn't really 'Watch' him die, being that they were actually headed out of the instance! Whatever the case, we got it done, and I really cannot see me doing that one again, like, ever... It's one achievement I'd gladly pass on Zukiji, despite being a bit of an Achievement Whore on him ;)

All of these achievements tonight started mainly because Eetio wanted to do the daily heroic, and being that I'm his brother and tend to help him out in situations like this, I naturally agreed and so off we went to Gun'Drak. The main achievement we aimed to get was 'Less-rabi' which consists of killing the associated boss without him transforming into his Mammoth form, thus failing the achievement and increasing his damage. It all ended up with us getting 'Share the Love', another very annoying achievement to get, but one less for us to worry about!

Anyways, below is a look on my Progress on Glory of the Hero achievement! Still got a few more to go now, but it surely is looking very promising, and soon, my Druid will be packing a Red Proto Drake!

Onyxian Whelp!

He's finally here! The Onyxian Whelp will be received in the mail during this week and the next (possibly) due to the 5th anniversary of World of Warcraft! As you can see in the image, he's a pretty cool looking pet, and if the animation works which I put up, you should be able to see the 'Deep Breath' that he will cast! :D

This is also Zukiji's 109th pet! Still working on the mounts, including Raven Lord for my brother, who is pretty diligent in getting me to take him through xD

Pilgrim's Bounty also started today (almost finished it on Zukiji) and I may post my own crap version of a walkthrough compared to WoWhead etc on here later on in the week possibly :)

Again, if the animation works, you may see more of them incoming to the blog, so stay tuned!

Post before IRL Shutdown

Considering the lack of raiding within our Guild, and a few members leaving for personal reasons, it has been a pretty crazy week mainly for Luxray. The majority of this 'crazy-go-go-go'ness' is all down to Jewelcrafting. I started doing it a couple of weeks back, and really didn't have the willpower to level it, until this week. It has been a bit of a journey for myself, levelling a profession from 1-425 (JC is now at 437 as the picture shows :)) straight at level 80 instead of doing it as I level the char itself (My mage is lvl 61 with around 350 Herb and 345 Alch) though it has been enjoyable, knowing that I can go where ever I want and be safe around 99% of the time. Lots and lots of grinding involved, but nothing too serious!

The grind for the Reins of the Raven Lord continues, though Eetio is beginning to loose hope, as it can be seen in his eyes with every Anzu run. One day though it will finally drop! :D

I'd also like to ask, would it be advisable to go Horde on a Mage, she's a Draenei at the moment, and I have been thinking whether or not to go Horde on her, and if so, what Race?

Zukiji, clocking out for the night.

Reins of the Raven MINE! /cough Lord.

Finally(After around 60 runs all together)! Today Luxray managed to obtain the Reins of the Raven Lord! My Resto Druid / Kitty will finally be riding in style on the god of the birds. Thanks to my bro 'Eetio' for running countless times for it! Means a lot to me brah ;)

Will update the post when we manage to get one to drop for him also with screenies, so stay tuned for that!

As for other things WoW related, MMO-Champion has finally managed to get hold of the new Shaman T10 gear, so if you want to have a look at that, go go go to teh MMO! I've been thinking about doing a small project for Youtube based on the rare spawns required for Bloody Rare and Frostbitten achievements as I am close to getting both on Luxray, after already obtaining it on Zukiji. Depends mainly on how much time I have on my hands when I actually come down and attempt at making this project a reality.

In the world of Companions, I am still grinding the Firefly pet on Zukiji, on about 1.6k kills so far, so hopefully it will drop soon. After that I need to go back onto the Sha'tari Skyguard to get those 5 Nether Rays, and my 110th pet, the Nether Ray Fry :D

As I've found out today with the Raven Lord, if you stay diligent, great things will come of it! (Also kinda goes for the Time-Lost Proto Drake aswell, bloody thing took me 4 months to get...)
