Junior Varsity Raiders complete Alphascape

The first official meeting of the Junior Varsity raiding team in patch 4.4 Prelude in Violet was a rousing success! Lead by Club Officer Hunataru, assisted by two additional members of our raiding static Sukutak and Ricola and endgame expert Sylva, three members obtained first-time clears of the new raiding content: Ponyo, Ricmorn and Volescu! Congratulations to all involved.

For those interested in more challenging content, but want a non-toxic low-pressure environment in which to learn, JV raid is the club for you! Hunataru leads and explains mechanics which he mastered as a member of the Varsity raid, and other static members assist to help assure those first-time clears. As the patch progresses and the leadership aquires more experience in the new instances, we expect to host learning parties for Suzaku Extreme and Alphascape Savage.

JV raid club meets Friday nights starting at 8:45pm Central Time. Contact Officer Hunataru via Discord for more information.

Synched Raiders Down Melusine in the Coil of Bahamut Turn 7

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!

Going in Blind: Royal City of Rabanastre

Patch 4.1 just dropped and right away the Stabbies ventured in to the new 24-man raid: the Royal City of Rabanastre! Not only did our brave adventurers jump right in to the new raid, but they did so BLIND. No videos, no guides, just knowledge of their classes and attempting to not stand in bad.
The Stabbies team consisted of:

Sukutak (Warrior)
Hunter (Astrologian)
Ponyo (Dragoon)
N’tohj (Summoner)
Cerys Ninja)
Maximillion (Bard)
Haegar (Black Mage)
Kela (Scholar)

Though they did not clear the City in this first attempt, they’re gearing up to try again and snag that clear very soon. Watch the antics of the first attempts below!
