Achievement Unlocked: Glory of the Liberation of Undermine Raider

by

It’s that time of the season- achievement raid time. On Sunday June 29th, we got together to complete the meta achievement: Glory of the Undermine Raider. Ghad lead us to victory, in fact we one-shoted each of the achievements! Some of them were easier than others but we managed to complete them all in fashion, securing the Junkmaestro’s Magnetomech mount.

Included achievements:

The most challenging of these was arguably the Garbage In, Garbage Out achievement, which required us to clean up or burn all trash before the next fight phase. We managed, though it was a bit messy (appropriate for Stix, renowned lover of trash). The easiest was probably Just/Dance, where one person needed to /dance with the disco ball in the arena during one of the phases.

This was our 2nd achievement raid for the War Within expansion and we look forward to “completing the set” next season all together.

Ahead of the Curve Achievement for Prophets Heroic Team

by

On Friday May 30th Chrome King Galliwix fell to Prophets heroic team, giving us full heroic raid tier clear for that team and achieving one of our major goals for season 2 of the War Within – Ahead of the Curve for all raiders who seek it.

Gally put up a good challenge, surviving most of our raid night before going down on the 11th and final pull of the evening. The first phase of the fight was particularly challenging to get the dance down, then strong damage on the adds was another tough spot to get through consistently. This fight was a great opportunity for this team to practice movement and coordinated defensives skills.

With one of our major season goals accomplished, we set our eyes on the big prize: Cutting Edge for our mythic team.

Rik Reverb Defeated: Mythic 3/8

by

Mr. Richard Reverberations put up quite the challenge for our mythic tier raiding team, the Olympians. We spent 106 pulls over 4 weeks of progression working on mechanics (down the adds!) and fighting the epic roster boss. The team is now sitting at 3/8 for mythic tier 13 weeks into season 2 of The War Within expansion.

It all came together for us with a little help from our friends on Thursday, May 29 and this boss dropped like his sick beats. Loot highlights included a best-in-slot necklace for quite a few, Semi-Charmed Amulet.

Shout out to close friend of the guild, Ellipi, and his crew for helping us get over the prog hump and for showing us a new approach to our raid style. Coffdropp, Raid Leader for the Olympians, and the rest of the leadership team is working hard to experiment with processes and procedures to find the best way to meet the demands of raiding, especially for the mythic tier. We are enjoying continuing to evolve as a guild & as individual players and accomplishing hard things together as a team.

We can’t wait to get going on Sprocketmonger Lockenstock!

Mythic cauldron of carnage boss downed

Mythic Cauldron of Carnage Down

by

Terrible two-some Flarendo & Torq of Cauldron of Carnage mythic raid tier have been defeated by the Olympians team. This boss took 58 pulls over 4 weeks of progression. The team has done a good job of getting heroic tier raid and myth tier Vexie on farm status over that time, combined with gear from vaults and keys for an average item level of 669.2.

One of the more challenging aspects of this boss was dealing with the add crowd control on Torq as well as laser placement on Flarendo. As is typical for mythic raid tier, the meta challenge of keeping the 20-person team balanced and staffed is sometimes greater than the bosses and mechanics themselves. The Last Prophecy continues to recruit to flesh out a bench as needed. Guild members Galatea and Tizdee have recently been promoted to officer rank to take on these recruiting responsibilities.

With Cauldron of Carnage down, the team sets eyes on mythic Rik Reverb as well as a fun achievement run in normal.

Heroic Gallywix has Fallen to Olympians

by

Overweight crime boss and notorious bare-chested fashionista, Chrome King Gallywix, has fallen to The Last Prophecy’s Mythic raid team, Olympians. With this kill, Olympians have secured the achievement of Ahead of the Curve for the guild.

The team was comprised of 2 tanks, 5 healers and 13 damage dealer players. Gallywix fell 9 weeks after the launch of the Liberation of Undermine raid on April 24th, 2025, after 59 pulls. The gods blessed us this day with a fine Jastor Diamond in addition to this glorious victory.

The team is looking forward to continuing to progress on to mythic tier with this accomplishment secured. After all, time is money friends!

Raid Teams, Yes Plural… Teams

by

wow-legion-logoFor Legion, we have decided to not only continue onward and push through content with our main weekday raid team, Team Olympians… we are also going to be creating a new raid team that raids on weekends for those of us that either a) have busy work weeks or b) have alts they want to level up.  Dubbed Team Demi Gods, this raid team will run Saturdays and Sundays from 9 PM to 12 AM EST.

Rounding out our new raid team’s leadership will be Charsbarkley as Raiding Officer and Klavin as Raid Leader.  The two of them will work closely together to lead us through successful content progression. Charsbarkley will work on the roster composition, recording attendance, and working with recruitment officers to fill necessary raiding spots. Klavin will focus entirely on strategic boss progression and getting our raiders through content.  If any folks would like to join our new raid team on the weekends, please see Charsbarkley or Klavin to get on the roster’s list of try outs.

For Team Olympians, we are shifting focus from moderate raiding to semi-hardcore raiding. In doing so, there are some spots that have become or will through the course of selection become free for other raiders to apply to as some of our raiders would move to be bench players rather than roster players due to personal time constraints.  This includes myself.  The requirements to join either raid group have gone up to be 840 ilvl and an unlocked 3rd artifact relic slot. This does require members to continuously be working on their main raiding characters, even on off days.  For many of us, that’s an impossibility.  But this will allow us to push for top ranks on our server.  You’ll want to message Vitalizer or Tankymcbones to compete for a spot.

A roster spreadsheet can be found here for all to review.

 

Full Clear Wednesday!

by

We’d like to congratulate our Team Olympian raiders for a great job in clearing ALL of Heroic HFC in 2.75 hours — from start to finish.  They earned themselves a day off on Thursday night and it was also our last night of raiding in WoD. Onward and upwards to Legion Raiding!  We will NOT be raiding until September 30th as we’re giving our members a month to level and be Raid Ready!  Here is a picture of all of us. 😉  Go #TeamTLP!

Four Bosses Down in HFC, First Night In

by

Congratulations TLP! You guys rock. 🙂

On our first night in, for some the first time raiding content in WoW ever and for others the first time in 8 years (me included!), we managed to one-shot two bosses, two-shot the last two.  In order we downed Hellfire Assault, Iron Reaver, Kormrok, and the Hellfire Council.  The sixth boss is rather complex but I think we’ll make progress with it tonight. We did spent a good hour on it last night so I think we’ll get through it tonight.

I think after a second go (next week) in Normal, we can bump it up to Heroic depending on how much gear we farm up out of these instances.  I do know a lot of us are busier in real life than some and are not able to get into the LFRs as much or get into PvP to grind out some PvP gear to put us in the DPS checks for Heroic.  We’ll need folks closer to 700 to try Heroic, but what we could do is farm the first few bosses in Heroic, while still trying to learn the fights from Normal.  We’ll explore that possibility!

I want to specially thank Mortalsins, Danmachi, and Odie for helping to explain the fights for most of these as I was really too green to do the job all alone (Gawd I hate Raid Leading!). Everyone really did so well and I was so happy to have us go in there and synergize the way we did.  Everyone got along great and nothing major stood in our way.  What an amazing night for us as a guild! 🙂

I’ll be getting more screenshots of our guild in action tonight, and see if there are any more screenshots to add but these two are my personal best shots.  Enjoy!

 

<3 Dani
