Wrapped it up just before starting 16 man and relearning all that crap again.

Some good old fashioned classical foot-shots.

Couldn't find a corner to place him in for a foot-shot, but a standing corpse will do just fine!

Working on Soa in Hard-Mode now and to expand to 16-man now that the slackers have finally begun to hit 50 and getting geared!

Another year in the Darkwind chapter is over, and a new one is at our doorsteps. The Darkwind community has gained alot of new faces this past year, and the future is bright in both Rift and Star Wars: The Old Republic.

This wouldn't be possible without our administrators, that makes this website run as smooth as possible. So a big thanks goes to Metheus, Uaellaen and Vektrat for the hard work.

Thats it for this year. See you in the new one, and happy new year.

Time for another update.

Phase in the guild has been decent through the last three months. It feels like yesterday, when Murdantix first bite the dust. But time goes by fast when your having fun, and fun we are having for sure!

The 28 November, we payed Inwar Darktide a visit, resulting in the picture below.



This is a fun fight, forcing you to split up your raid in two, and gather again for the final blow. Not the most challenging fight, but a god designed encounter it is.

With Inwar Darktide dead, there is only one mob standing between us and completing this zone.





Akylios has taken alot of guilds a long time to kill, and seems to be, by far, the hardest encounter in Rift. There is a few videos out there on youtube, that shows alot of the action in the fight, but one thing is looking at a video, another is to execute it.

Akylios...we're comming for you now!

....And hence i bring you the news of two weeks ago, or so!



The 14th November, Darkwind downed Garau, and has now downed nine out of the eleven bosses in Hammerknell. And it shows that we have been getting some loot lately. We are now able to clear the first 8 bosses in Hammerknell in one evening, hence leaving us with with two days for progressing on Inwar Darktide, soon to be deaded, and after that Akylios.

Everyone is getting ready with their water resists for this final battle, and we are all looking forward to it.

On another note, we have been in RotP, and killed the first two bosses, and the three mini-namers already. Due to random slackness, I do not have any killshots of these. Difficulty in there seems abit higher than it should, if this zone was meant for players comming from GP and DH, but we sure do enjoy the challenge in killing mobs.

Untill next time!

It's been quite some time since our last update. Reason is simple. We've been wiping on Grugonim and his random bugs. However, sunday we had at him again, and he went down really smooth like he was supposed to. We weren't ready to hit the sacks when he fell tho, so we thought: Why not have a shot at Molinar? That ended up beeing a very good idear, as it resulted in the following picture.



Father and Son downed to Darkwind. Only real simularity between those two now however, is the smell of their decaying corpses. And we all slept like babies that night i tell you. And came back well rested monday night.

Now, during the night, I personally made a new splendid tactic for ALL of Hammerknells bosses. Why kill one boss when you can AE them down? So we went AE-style and it worked! Monday night, Darkwind had two guild-firsts kills on Estrode and Sicaron.




Thats right. Darkwind is ready to head upstairs in Hammerknell.

Killshot of Garau incomming in 5 OTU!

Not really sure what it is. But its ugly.... And today, Darkwind put this sick thing out of its misery.



Encounter has gotten way easier after the nerf, as people can now survive 1 hit from most of his AE's. Still, a very fun encounter to learn and master. Good job all!
