Fury has been all over the place in the last couple of months. After my last post, we moved into Solteris and defeated the first event, Mayong's Mistresses! (Also known as the Sisters event, these are the same hussies from Demi-Plane of Blood):
Congrats to Zeddecus (Althea's Black Pearl Choker), Weavel (Brenda's Lavender Cinch), Lenadwen and Tenamcex (Tiny Phosphene Cluster).
Moving down the road a bit... Does anyone think Mayong is a megalomaniac?
The next event involves a huge orc and his pals:
Solteris events (so far) are extremely dps-sensitive. Although we have been farming the entirety of The Serpent's Spine (TSS) expansion for months, we've been royally screwed on weapons drop rates. Everyone has complained to SoE about this fact but it doesn't seem to have done any good. How long can they expect you to farm the same stuff?
It really gets old after a while. Fix it! Or don't, I guess we don't care at this point.
So... we figured that we'd try some of the Secrets of Faydwer (SOF) raids that supposedly have good weapon drop rates. That way we can boost our dps, then go back and hit the Solteris events that are giving us trouble. Time to visit the Steam Factory!
So, the first one we tried was a rather large, semi-sentient bucket of bolts, the Mining Behemoth:
He didn't take long to smoke, but stay away from the hole. That means you, Kire.
Congrats to Weavel (Ancient Velvet Robe), Dethrin (Ancient Scaled Coat), Lashden (Visage of the Grand Engineer), and Irena and Tinkas on Whirring Clockwork Runes.
It's always fun to kill gnomes. They squeal nicely and leave a pasty little corpse. It's especially satisfying when a gnome is pretending to be a big monster, like our friend Chief Mechanic Clankwrench:
This is a fun fight! Especially when the first tank eats a huge deathtouch by getting too close to the lightning thingy behind him.
We soon kicked his metal ass:
Congrats to Nilbog (Ancient Velvet Robe), Strummin ( Ancient Hardened Breastplate ), Oglops (Benevolent Mender's Mantle), and Garrfunkel (Industrial Tinkered Drillbore).
Another event in the Steam Factory is Spindlecrank - this one is tough! He feigns death on the raid, blinds, has adds that drop bombs, other adds try to heal him, vents dispense poison gas on the raid, and rabid badgers appear that steal everyone's wallets.
Despite all of this, Fury multitasks well:
Congrats to Mystere and Gestyn (Slick Oil-Ring of Protection), Glaum (Ancient Hardened Helm), and Zemm (Ancient Hardened Breastplate).
And just like that, Fury has cleared all of The Steam Factory! Way to go everyone!
Now that we're on a roll, let's take on that gigantic spider that so terrifies the folks exping in Fortress Mechanotus, Octa the Collector!
Exterminated. Squished. Lewts collected.
Congrats to Strummin (Crushing Demolisher), Kire (Loop of Cruel Ingenuity), Glower (Steel-Welded Plate Bracer), and Ruven (Steel-Welded Ringmail Gauntlets).
We haven't forgotten Solteris, and will definitely be back there ASAP for more fun with orcs, spiders, and loose women. We're enjoying the change of pace in SoF though!
Now, a few of those wonderful chat funnies.
