This week - Vault of Night raid

Hey guildies,

I'd like to try to organize a Vault of Night aka VON raid this week or weekend. By raid I mean parts 5 and 6 of the quest chain, ie Vault of Night and Plane of Night. It would probably be a run without level restrictions but also without XP, just for fun and to introduce the raid to the people who haven't done it before. Please let me know if you're interested in coming, when you are available, what character you would like to bring and whether or not you need to do any of the first 4 parts to get flagged. The whole thing would probably take at least 2 hours, group forming included. If we have a good party, I'd like to avoid getting pugs, as long as we can cover the stats needed - we need two characters who can at least temporarily reach Strength 25 and two characters who can reach Wisdom 20. These stats are needed to use certain runes and levers at one point in the quest and a character who has both the Str and Wis needed can cover both at the same time.

Alternatively - or additionally - we could also try to organize the raid for characters who are at the appropriate level, is about 9-12 or 10-13. VON 5 gives a lot of XP. In this case, a full raid group including pugs would most likely be inevitable as it would exclude some guildies that don't have any characters in that range at the moment.

Feel free to ask any questions. There is a guide to VON5 on our guild forum if you want to read up on the quest beforehand.

This week (Thu Feb 4 - Sun Feb 7)

What I'm planning for the rest of this week:

Thursday night - Desert quests, starting with the smaller ones like Purge the Fallen Shrine, Maraud the Mines, Raid the Vulkoorim, Chamber of Rahmat/Kourush, as hard as possible. If there's still time after that, go on to Chains of Flame or Chamber of Raiyum to get flagged for Demon Queen. I've been having Demon Queen withdrawal syndrome.
I'll try to make level 10-15 guild groups for these if people are interested. We have some level 10 characters (Ossanna, Tinyskittle) so if these want to come, I don't mind dropping so the rest of you can form 10-13 groups without being powerlevelled by me (seems Intimi, Gleeful, Inuke and possibly others are in the 10-13 range as well).

Friday and weekend - When I'm done with the desert, I'll move on to Gianthold, probably starting with the smaller quests before taking on Crucible/Prison/Madstone. Also I skipped the Shadow Tombs so I'd like to try and get those done for favour and will welcome anyone who wants to join me, although the XP won't be very exciting seems the quests are level 9/10 on hard/elite.

Get well Khyr!

Just wanted to let you know we're thinking of you and hoping you'll feel better soon and will able to play with us again soon, on one server or another. :)

For our new members, Khyr is a guildie from the Devourer server who's not well enough to play at the moment.

Best wishes, Khyr. :)

Update 3 is online

Yey! Turbine Download Manager leeched the data while the servers were down so no further downloads were required. Read the release notes here. See you in game. :)

Relic and/or Invaders, Wednesday 9 PM GMT / 4 PM Eastern, level 11-14

Hiya people, as the title says, I'd like to do one of these quests (or both, if time allows) with some guildies. I know Squebra, Nuke, Hanne and one or two others have characters in this range. If we get a nice group, we'll probably do Relic on hard and Invaders on normal.
