Synched Raiders Down Melusine in the Coil of Bahamut Turn 7

Leave a comment

After many weeks of attempting their most complex fight yet, the Synched Raiding club finally bested the terrible Melusine in Second Coil turn 2 also known as Turn Seven. Renauds got stoned and players tried their best not to flash each other and after executing a complex dance of pain, the evil gorgon of the Shroud was downed. And there were much Fending drops, yay!

 

The clearing team consisted of Danye and Cerys tanking, Kela and guest healer Bob returning to heal, and Ponyo, Korodi, Hunter and Max on DPS. Please see the five minute clear video to show our loyal returning participants some affection!

Congratulations to all, and we will meet again same time next week for T8!

Starlight, Starbright: Royal Academy Hosts Brynhildr Christmas Celebration

Leave a comment

On Sunday, December 10, 2017, Nymian Royal Academy hosted the dessert course of the Second Annual sever-wide “Progressive Starlight Dinner”. The Starlight celebration is the Eorzean equivalent of Christmas and our fearless Server-leaded Thancred Tsuniko organized a five-course meal, with each course being hosted by a different Free Company. Free Companies would then pass out free crafted culinary treats, while also potentially hosting other contests and giving away other prizes.

The Academy hosted the dessert course and gave out Fruit Tarts, Cheesecake and Bakalava. In addition a spontaneous contest arouse out of fortuitous accident. After Headmistress Kela decorated the yard for the party, the willow was moved close enough to the awning such that, with careful climbing, one could access the awning and rooftoop. People who reached the awning were awarded their own Glamour Weapon. Our own Els Ewhere was the first to accomplish the goal.

Later on, people who reached the awning attempted to then climb to the roof. One Sylphid Hena was successful, the results are as you see!

The snow decorations will stay up until after the Starlight Celebration seasonal event has ended. You can read more about that event here! After that, the jump puzzle to the roof via furniture will remain, so enjoy trying to AFK on the rooftop!

Merry Christmas, Stabbies!

Announcing Fundraising Contest Grand Prize Winner

1 Comment

As many of you may be aware, recently we hosted a Free Company Fundraising contest to raise gil for our estate move to a mansion in Shirogane. With patch 4.1 our dream became a reality as we moved into our stunning beachside mansion at Shirogane 12/7. It features a distinctive Carbuncle library exterior and, naturally, a tonberry theme inside with as much Marsh Green dye as the Headmistress could buy.

While many participated in the contest only one qualified for the grand prize: George Hyrule who not only matched Kela’s donation but over doubled it. Originally the prize was set to be free crafted furniture for life, however George very magnanimously refused to claim the prize. Let’s be real: if the man can make that much gil is he really needing someone to craft him furniture?

Knowing that such generosity couldn’t go unrewarded, Kela and leadership struggled to determine what reward would satisfy someone with near infinite knowledge of market fluctuations and essentially a bottomless supply of money. The reward decided upon was free avatar fanart! Kela isn’t a master artist but she did her best and the result is as you see it.

From the Free Company leadership and all the members who now enjoy our Company estate, thank you George Hyrule for your dedication and generosity. You are an inspiration to all of us.

 

 

Monthly Company Credit Contest Results: October!

Leave a comment

In the month of October, with the close of the housing contest fundraiser, we instituted a new monthly contest to encourage our members to farm Company Credits and increase our Company Standing. As a result of everyone’s efforts we saw a dramatic increase in our Free Company rank from #45 to #25 (of FCs on Brynhildr) within the span of two weeks. Excellent progress!

Please take a moment to honor our top earners.

In the Third Week of October, Haegar collected the most credits and earned rank #52 overall on the server. In the fourth week, Danye took first place within the FC with a rank of #186. Both winners had their company rank changed to Eorzean PhD for one week. The rank is our contest winner prize rank and is displayed for honor and bragging rights.

Anyone who ranks at all in the monthly overall credit rankings at the end of the month receives a free rare glamour of their choosing, courtesy of the Free Company. We only had one member rank monthly overall and that was Danye! Danye was ranked #282 for overall credits earned on the server during the month of October. Congratulations! You can see Danye pictured in the chosen prize glamour: A Toaist’s Shirt, crafted (and dyed Marsh Green) by Headmistress Kela.

Congratulations to our winners. Please continue to participate in the contest. The Contest resets every Tuesday for weekly ranks and monthly for overall ranks. Company credits are best acquired by turning in gear at your grand company via Expert Delivery. We will need even more people competing to maintain and increase our FC standing in the coming months. Let’s finish the year strong (and show fake DOINK they’ve got no chance of competing with us)!
