/farm on

We've only had 2 weeks of raids since my last update, but I thought I better put up a new one before I fell too far behind.

We've been steadily inching our way deeper into Time with each turn in the rotation. We attempted Vallon for the first time since the last update. On the first attempt, we managed to wipe (mainly due to some miscommunication), but we still got him down quite a bit. On our next attempt, we managed to kill him easily enough, and we finally made it into Phase 5!

Once we got into P5, we started ae'ing the trash. When the path was clear, we decided to go try out Rallos for our first time. We went in stratless again and zerged the hell out of it with a whole 45 members. We only managed to get RZ down to about the 40% mark, but we were able to learn some valuable stuff about the encounter. We should be able to knock him off the list in the very near future.

We worked on our Ikky raids some more. Ikky 1 has been a great farming raid for us, and it still makes me laugh my ass off every time the mobs charge the pit and kill randomplayer01. But, we gotta work on progression too! So we started on Ikky 2.

Our first Ikky 2 raid was LOOOOONG!!! OMFG, that's a lotta clearing. When we finally got to the bosses, it was late and people were tired, but we attempted it anyway. We had issues with the mobs tethering back to their spawn point, and after a couple of called off kill attempts, we finally called it a night (we were down to 30 people, what did ya expect?).

The following week, we went in for Ikky 2 again. This time the raid went much faster. Clearing was a lot faster, and we were able to get to the boss at least an hour earlier than the week before. We made some adjustments to our previous strat, and soon we had the boss of Ikky 2 beaten down and a buncha artifacts were looted. This trial will be on the farm list with Ikky 1 soon!

That's about it for this time. Here's the loot list from our past 8 days of raiding...

Oh yeah, and grats Doctornic on the 1.5
