Sunwell Cleared 17/10/08

Ace now cleared all of the content in TBC. Great job everyone. We have come a long way in 7 months since we killed Gruul in blues. We are all looking forward to a prosperous WotLK. The loot from M'uru was heroic Judicator's chestguard(Mutley), Sunglow Vest(Spunkié), Aegis of Angelic Fortune(Rubster). Kil'Jaeden gave us Borderland Paingrips(Oneira), Cowl of Gul'dan(Elemendur), Tattered Cape of Antonidas(Mamahest) and Golden Staff of the Sin'dorei(Bunique).

Loot was Sin'dorei Pendant of Salvation(Elemendur), Shroud of Redeemed Souls(Elemendur), Shawl of Wonderment(Himeko), Shoulderpads of Vehemence(Hippopotamus), Mantle of the Golden Forest(Èvaner), Belt of the Forgotten Protector(Disloyal). Well done all!

Felmyst Downed 08/09/08

Ace managed to down Felmyst on our 4th attempt last night after some messy tries the night before. Thank you all for making it such a clean kill by doing things right. The loot was Borderland Fortress Grips(Narcissist), Boots of the Forgotten Protector(Narcissist), Boots of the Forgotten Vanquisher(Hippopotamus, Optimize).

Ace beats Brutallus 24/08/08

After a few weeks of practice and some close calls we finally managed to kill Brutallus on the last try of the night. We were forced to make it even more difficult for ourselves by using a protection paladin tank and a blue geared hunter for the fight, both of whom did an excellent job. Really well done to everyone for stepping up to what was required. The loot was Reign of Misery(Yrvädret), Belt of the Forgotten Protector(Narcissist), Belt of the Forgotten Vanquisher(Zinth) and Belt of the Forgotten Conqueror(Mutley).

Sunwell - Kalecgos saved

Finally we had some time to focus a bit on Sunwell progress and Kalecgos was saved on our 4th attempt of the night 20/7-08. Drops were Fang of Kalecgos(Mason), Bracers of the Forgotten Protector(Narcissist) and 2xBracers of the Forgotten Vanquisher(Mason and Shiro). Well done everyone!

Double Glaives!!! 17/07/08

Hippo got double GLAIVES!!! We were so lucky getting MH only 2 weeks after OH dropped. One happy rogue and some nice dps for Sunwell incoming.

Illidan Stormrage is no more - BT cleared

Last night Illidan was defeated on our third night of attempts. It was a bumpy road to say at least with turkish players struggling with lag and DC's and MT getting a BoP just as he was meant to pick Illidan up in phase 3...eeek Needle you scared us there! Loot was Bulwark of Azzinoth(Grimmt), The skull of Gul'dan(Tydeus) and Chestguard of the Forgotten ProtectorX3(Itankall, Grimmt, Craimer). It feels good to say that we now have cleared BT only 3 months after we started raiding 25 man by killing Gruul. A big thank you to all our members for all their hard work and support. Also a special thank you to our GM and RL Hippopotamus for doing what he said 3 months back when asked if we really would be able to kill Illidan before summer vacations, "I will make it happen" was his short and definite answer. Everything from now on will be a "bonus" to what we wanted to achieve back then. We will continue gearing up and we are looking forward to see some of SWP in the near future.

The Illidari Council downed

The night after our Mother Shahraz kill we were eager to down Illidari Council and so we did. We went and took one look at Illidan himself and can't wait to have some goes on him next week. Well done everyone! Council dropped Cloak of the Illidari Council(Shiroihonoo), Legging of the Forgotten Vanquisher(Ascensis), Leggings of the Forgotten Conqueror(Needle) and Leggings of the Forgotten Protector(Grimmt).

Mother Shahraz one-shotted by Ace (18/5-08)

Clearly the only hard thing about the Mother fight was to farm all the primals needed for resistance gear. A big thanks to all Ace members for their donations. Loot was Tome of the Lightbringer(Mutley) and Pauldrons of the Forgotten VanquisherX3(Hippopotamus, Kroks and Ascensis).

Reliquary of Souls downed

Reliquary of Souls downed after only a few hours of attempts. Bloodboil was a test for our healers and tonight our DPS also passed the test on RoS. Loot was Grips of Damnation(Kroks) and Gloves of Unfailing Faith(Skeram).

More Black Temple Progress

Last night was our first night attempting Gurtogg Bloodboil and we did very well. After not so many tries we had tanking, bloodboils and healing sorted out for a more or less perfect kill. Instead of boiling our blood Mr Bloodboil found himself being cooked and served with epics. Loot was Wand of Prismatic Focus(Ascensis) and Unstoppable Aggressor's Ring(Craimer).

Teron Gorefiend dead

Another boss in Black Temple defeated by Ace. Teron Gorefiend turned out to be a quite simple fight and did not take us long to master. Loot was Twisted Blades of Zarak(Gdzillas) and Softstep Boots of Tracking(Aichii).

Mount Hyjal Cleared

Archimonde was killed after 5 nights of practice. People finally got the hang of kiting fires and staying alive properly. Loot was Cataclysm's Edge(Grimmt), Scepter of Purification(Kroks), Helm of the Forgotten Vanquisherx2(Gorglash and Optimize) and Helm of the Forgotten Conqueror(Dementus). A job well done!

Azgalor downed

Azgalor went down nice and easy. Loot was Bow-stitched Leggings(Pathy), Razorfury Mantle(Kroks) and 3xGloves of the Forgotten Protector(Narcissist, Shamstini, Eaukkesh). Archimonde next.

Kael'thas Sunstrider DOWN!

After only 4 nights of trying Ace managed to kill Kael'thas. Loot was Sunshower Light Cloak (Xyler), Rod of the Sun King (Mprizas), Chestguard of the Vanquished Hero x2 (Mamahest and Shiroihonoo), Chestguard of the Vanquished Defender(Himeko) and The Darkener's Grasp(Itankall). Good job all. Now we can fully focus on our progress in MH/BT.

First peak at Black Temple

Ace downed the first 3 bosses in BT without troubles. Thank you all for a job well done. Loot was Halberd of Desolation(Pathy) and ring of Calming Waves(Needle) from Naj'entus, Waistwrap of Infinity(Imyourfear) and Pauldrons of Abyssal Fury(Grimmt) from Supremus, The Seeker's Wristguards(Grimmt) and Praetorian's Legguards(Narcissist).

The Battle of Mount Hyjal continues

Our second night in Mount Hyjal and 2 more bosses down. Loot was The unbreakable Will(Narcissist), Hatefury Mantle(Imyourfear) from Anetheron and Belt of Crescent Moon(Spud), Valestalker Girdle (Pathy) from Kaz'rogal.

The Battle of Mount Hyjal has begun

Last night we entered Mount Hyjal as a change after 2 nights attempting Kael. We knew Rage Winterchill would be easy and we downed him on first attempt as we should. Unfortunately huge lagspikes and half the raid disconnecting stopped us from getting any further last night and we chose to call the raid off. Loot was Bracers of Martyrdom(Himeko) and Bracers of the Pathfinder(Damaged).

Lady Vashj down!

On our second night of attempting Lady Vashj she was slain by the members of Ace. We left it until the last try of the night where we took her down and screams of excitement could be heard from far. Congratulations and a big thank you to everybody for the hard work in clearing SSC. Now "only" Kael stands in our way until we can go Mount Hyjal. Loot was Krakken-Heart Breastplate(Reap), Runetotem's Mantle(Kroks) and 2xHelm of the Vanquished Champion(Endovellico and Aernus). A job well done!

Fathom-Lord Karathress Defeated

Another boss in SSC down after a solid raid effort last night. Loot was Bloodsea Brigand's Vest(Hippopotamus), Leggings of the Vanquished Defender(Itankall) and Leggings of the Vanquished Champion(Kenep). Very well done everyone!

Morogrim has left the building

Morogrim and his murlocs went to a not so watery tomb tonight. Once again we were victorious after a steady learning curve. The loot was Serpent-Coil Braid(Imyourfear), Mantle of the Tireless Tracker(Damaged) and Girdle of the Tidal Call(Kenep).

Hydross, Lurker, Leo are no more!

On our first night in SSC we killed Hydross after getting him to 5% on our first try. With a hard night on The Lurker Below on the previous night of trying we knew we needed to do better and we did. Lurker was killed on the first try of the night. The evening was nicely rounded off by making progress on Leotheras the Blind with each try. The guild has now cleared half of SSC in a night and a half. Congratulations to all those who got loot and expect more progress soon!

Solarian defeated

Second night in TK and High Astromancer Solarian down. Took us only a few tries to get the tactics right and the whole raid was alive when she was downed. Loot was Heartrazor (Hippopotamus), Star-Soul Breeches (Xyler) and Vambraces of Ending (Shamstini). A solid job from everyone.

Al'ar and Void Reaver dead

Our first night in TK and Al'ar went down nicely after a few tries. We also killed Void Reaver to get some extra loot. Al'ar dropped Arcanite Steam-Pistol (Pathy), Tome of Fiery Redemption (Jeanne) and Netherbane (Bloodrager). Void Reaver dropped Void Reaver Greaves (Pathy), Pauldrons Of the Vanquished Defender (Narcissist) and Pauldrons of the Vanquisehed Hero (Darkartz). Well done everyone!

Magtheridon down

Magtheridon went down nice and easy tonight. Loot was Eye Of Magtheridon (Mamahest), Cloak Of The Pit Stalker (Reap), Chestguard of The Fallen Champion (Needle), Chestguard of the Fallen Hero (Hazzas). On to better things!

Ace+Rehab=True

After a couple of days of negotiation it has happened. Rehab joined forces with Ace with a bunch of their best players. A warm welcome to all of you! Let us make some nice and rapid 25 man progress.

Zul'Aman Cleared!

After only a few tries on Zul'jin he bites the dust. In all honestly his tricks were easy to counter and it all went easier than expected. The loot was Grimgrin Faceguard (Aernus) and Hauberk of the Empire's Champion (Shamstini). Blood of Zul'jin went to Gorglash this time. Big thanks to all who participated and made this fight so easy.
