As it hasnt been mentioned earlier, here are my log entries of the refoundation of Darkwind.

[Fri Jan 13 19:54:11 2012] You have joined Darkwind.
[Fri Jan 13 19:54:11 2012] You are now the rank of Leader.

Since that date we had amazingly many old people returning which all needed some serious leveling, new gear and relearn how to move forward and stuff like this.
So you know what numbers we are speaking about, Darkwind got like 40-50 people online every evening again.

Now that most members hit level 95 we started raiding the current expansion Veil of Alaris.


Here are our latest accomplishments:

Veil of Alaris Tier 1 - Illdaera's Vengeance
Veil of Alaris Tier 2 - The Defeat of Prexus




Other raids we have completed recently:

House of Thule Tier 1 - Ritual of Terror
House of Thule Tier 1 - Tick Tock

House of Thule Tier 2 - The Roots of Evil
House of Thule Tier 2 - Terror in the Dark
House of Thule Tier 2 - The Librarian's Nightmare

After a few years break from EverQuest and lots of IRL slacking <Darkwind> was reformed to show it's real spirit again.
Tonight we had our first big raid victory when we had a go at 13th Anniversery Raid.


More screens and loot information to come!

It's been quite some time since our last Rift update. Reason for this is simple...there has been nothing new to add...untill now.

As of last night, Darkwind has killed everything there is to kill in Rift. The last victim was this ugly dude.



This is by far the hardest fight I've personally encountered in any game, and it was a rush finally to bring him to his knees. A big thanks goes out to everyone, that have been helping with progression on this fight. It is very satisfying, since we only raid 3 days a week, and there is other guilds with more raid days, still trying to beat this encounter. This also shows, that we are working with some really great people here.

A note for Trion:
Really awesome encounter guys! Best I've ever tried. Bring on the next raid zone!

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!
