TLP-WoW

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!

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.

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!

TWW Season 2 kicked off on March 4th and exactly 1 month in TLP’s Olympians kill Mythic Vexie & Geargrinders. And now the real work starts. The key is the consistency of downing these bosses and getting them on “farm status”. Farm status for us is killing a boss under 3 attempts, hoping for 1-shot kills more than likely.

We will tackle Cauldron of Carnage and hope to have the dueling duo down by the end of the month, moving on to Rik Reverb, which has challenged many other midcore guilds. Even those that we consider to be mid-to-hardcore have seen Rik break the guilds apart, so we’re hoping to continue to improve on Vexie & Cauldron to farm up the gear they drop. But it seems like raid gear isn’t the requirement anymore to kill bosses in a raid environment. It definitely does require us to farm Myth gear from Mythic+ Dungeons to really be able to compete with the needed DPS, mechanics, and throughput that is needed for Rik Reverb and beyond.

We will need our team to start really committing to grinding those M+ dungeons at 10 or above, which forms a real challenge for a soft-to-midcore guild that has adults with families and limited time. So we need to organize much more astutely to meet that challenge head on. The path to “Cutting Edge” is not easy at all for a guild like ours, but we are committing to trying to achieve it every season of The War Within, Midnight, and The Last Titan — the Worldsoul Saga.
