(Yes, this post is a trifle after the fact. I’ve been busy!) We’re officially a proper solo MC guild now, after our successful start last Sunday. A slight miscalculation (how could we forget about Sunday afternoon server queues?!) meant that our raid group trickled online in dribs and drabs. We cleared to Luci successfully and dropped him with a minimum of pain and suffering. We did see one wipe – probably inevitable given that we’re new to raiding MC as a guild – but we were determined to down Lucifron. And down him we did, on our second try! Congratulations to Azzure on shiny new Arcanist Boots and Unfalln on his Felheart Gloves. Unfortunately we lost too many healers at that point to take down the big doggy Magmadar, so we trotted off to ZG to pwn some more bosses there. We’ll be back in MC this weekend for some more Lucifron action, and this time we hope to be facing Magmadar and Gehennas as well! This is the start of great progress for SW as a guild, and we’re very excited about where we can go from here. (And don’t forget: limited recruitment is currently open!

It’s an exciting time in the Southern Wardens. We’ve just struck out on our own, after dissolving our 40-man raid alliance with another guild, and we’re ramping up to tackle Molten Core and Onyxia on our own. We kicked off this brave new world with a foray into MC on Monday night — completely unplanned, but we had way too many for Zul’Gurub, and if we refrained from doing stupid stuff on the spur of the moment, we’d hardly be the Southern Wardens, would we? No boss attempts for us, sadly; a number of the raiders were still saved to a prior instance with most of the early bosses down, and we thought we probably shouldn’t try to blood a new raid group on Golemagg. So we confined ourselves to clearing trash mobs and showing our newcomers how to get stomped by Molten Destroyers. A couple of stand-outs from the night: * congrats to Ror on Nightslayer Belt, our first piece of guild-only MC loot! * thanks to Sayyuntow for running a super-fast simultaneous attunement run in an attempt to get a few more of our guildies into the instance. Look for more fun and exciting news from the world of melty lava and big repair bills...

Originally posted by Pangur. Click on the images below for the full-size screenshots. Last night after a short ZG run, the fearless SW’s – ever thirsty for more glory – decided to explore the newly opened Gates of Ahn’Qiraj. After clearing the nasty spitting insectoid trash mobs (who moved really fast and were immune to any sort of freezing trap or slowing spell), we approached the valley where the first boss – Kurinnaxx – lay in wait. The mighty Verlyna and Torkya lined up to show the clackety beast who was boss, while Vikos The Mad pulled the creature back into range. Unfortunately, between the health-sucking quicksand and Kurinnaxx’s enraged state, our first attempt was a wipe. So was the second, but never a guild to give up, SW set about for a third try. With new tactics – tanks swapping agro between them, and everyone else at range in a semi circle keeping well away from the beast and the healers – we approached the overgrown earwig again. The new tactics worked brilliantly and finally we had success! Kurinnaxx admitted defeat and left us with worthy trophies – the Qiraji Martial Drape, Grimoire of Immolate VIII which went to Bellz, and Sand Reaver Wristguards which went to Kaasha. Overall a very fun night and a great look at a fantastic new dungeon. Group...
