After 8 weeks of Dragon Soul, I managed to collect all the gems needed for the legendary daggers questline.

Thanks to everyone in the team for putting through with the numerous alt swaps and alt raids we made in order to make sure that we aren`t wasting any drops.

Overall, it wasn`t much difficulty in aquiring the needed boss-drops, because they have equal droprate in normal and heroic, so it was just a matter of time. However, there was an "interesting" twist in the last week which made my heart rate go a bit up. Before this week, I had 49/60 Gem Clusters, and bosses are supposed to drop 2 (in 25-man). Sometimes (rarely), they bug and drop only 1. Since Madness is needed for the final quest, I had 7 bosses available, out of which I had to collect 11 clusters, so I was ok as long as no more than 3 would bug out and drop 1 instead of 2. In previous weeks, it was either 1 or 2 bosses per week who would bug, so I was very confident. Let`s say my confidence was nearly gone after killing Morchok, Zonozz and Yorsahj and seeing that they dropped 1 each! Fortunately for me, after a very tense wait, Hagara, Ultraxion, Warmaster and Spine dropped 2 each, and the RNG was on my side in the end. After killing Madness, I got myself a new pair of daggers!



The non-raid part of the quest was very fun, and also challenging. Both puzzles took me ~1 hour each to complete, and the solo-bosses were interesting as well. I have some fraps footage of them, but first was blocked by youtube and I`m ashamed to upload second where I`m clicking expose armor from spellbook

According to GuildOx, we are the 10th guild in the world to get these, and the first guild from EU English realms. I expect this number to increase a bit (more in the 15 range or so), but it`s another very nice acomplishment for us.

After a short holiday break we are back in action. We had a pretty good run today and after a 0.06% wipe (I`m actually serious) he fell down in the last attempt.

We`re pretty good at pingpong, but even better at killing tentacles and faceless dudes! Zonozz died last night, that was some nice timings before the winter holidays.



Happy holidays everyone, see you in 2012!
