Well, we're approaching the end of January, and the VF locomotive is definitely at full steam. Since our last update, we have stayed entirely focused on TSS when we aren't farming DPoB and DK, and it has paid off with some rapid successes.
Last week, we returned to Valdeholm to have a few words with King Odeen. After chasing him all over the zone and dispatching the various roadblocks he put up, he finally came to his senses and granted us access to the raid instances of Frostcrypt.
Congrats to Ilsidri on (Robe of the Driving Rains), Rylak on (Gefia's Gift), and Zemm on (Lute of Longing).
Then just last night, the call was made to give the Vergalid raid a shot. We had previously tried this event many months ago, with it ending in a mass corpse summoning after Nurtha Frazzlesprocket and her clockwork machines proceeded to lay a severe beatdown on our raid force. Well obviously last night was much different. In a show of force that caught even us off guard, her clockwork minions were sent to the junkyard and Nurtha became a nice streak of floor paste on the cavern ground.
Congrats to Desh on (Vermin Model IV's Diseased Bauble), Yokozuno on (Gnomework Model XVII's Experimental Plate Backing), and Lashden on (Vermin Model IV's Diseased Harness).
We quickly marched on and dispatched Goru Uldrock the Reincarnate with ease.
Congrats to Kire and Jerras on (Goru's Girdle of the Deceased).
And in wrapping up the night, we moved into the lair of the corrupted dragon, Vergalid. The fight started off a bit shaky as we were figuring out what to do, but quickly turned into a show of domination. In the end, we lay over his corpse, celebrating our newly acquired access to the raids of Ashengate. These three "Fury Firsts" wrapped up an exciting night. I think it will be safe to say that Vergalid will continue to be a nice farm raid as we move into the end zones of the TSS expansion.
Congrats to Rosary on (Spaulders of Dooming Exile), and Vangarth on (Vergalid's Infectious Cloak).
In SoF expansion news, the majority of the guild is now 80. When not working on TSS faction, a good chunk of the guild is now keyed for Meldrath's Majestic Mansion and Crystallos. These zones should provide for some nice upgrades during off-raid hours.
VF is still recruiting all classes. If you are interested in joining one of the elite guilds on Bristlebane, please visit our forums to learn more about level and AA requirements and post your application today! We're looking forward to meeting you!
