Farming DS on Tuesday gets a little monotonous, so last night we organized a competition to see which of six groups could amass the most guild achievement points in 2 hours. At stake was 25k gold in prize money! The rules were pretty open but did allow for a bit of strategy around what achieves to go after and when. We balanced the raid into 5man groups then gave everyone a short time to prepare. Strategies were discussed, inter-group alliances formed, alts got moved to useful spots around the world, there was an acceptable level of spying on other groups, and someone even decided this was a good time to finally buy real flying skill O.o. After 10 minutes, the race was on!

It was a neck-and-neck race for a while, but eventually one team secured an unassailable points lead. This was due in no small part to sneakily stealing other team's meta achieves and managing to avoid the 5 instance/hour lockout that other teams had counted on to hold them back! When the last available guild achievement was claimed we converged back on the Eastern Earthshrine to award the 25k prize money & take a screenshot commemorating one of the most unusual raid nights we've ever had.

Well played, Team Orange Crush - it was a legitimate and deliciously underhanded win. And thanks everyone for making it so entertaining to knock out 51 guild achieves worth >500 points in a little under 2 hours.

Game over! Another server 1st 25man, and a solid end to the tier. Thanks to all our raiders, both past and present, for their commitment and hard work all through our first complete expansion raiding under the Adapt tag. Next up - Pandas!

Definitely the hardest fight of the tier even at 10%, doing this at 0% must have been nuts.

And also going back to do old bosses and get fiery mounts

During off nights we have been working on getting all our casters Dragonwrath
