Ravencrest has been well known for its fabulous PuG’s, but this is definitely our best success so far.

Last november we PuG’ed Anub’arak on heroic – though we never made it better than with 49 tries unfortunately – but this is definitely the new highlight.

Considering we just raid Fridays and Saturdays for like 3-4 hours each, this is awesome progress and we can finally get some hard modes done.

After the post below where my Retribution Paladin soloed Molten Core I got a lot of questions regarding soloing Gehennas. There aren’t many things that can’t be outhealed by Judgement of Light or Seal of Light, but Gehennas casts a -75% healing debuff (curse)  which makes the encounter still challenging.

But how can you do it? Basically I cleared the path back up towards the entrance, to get some room for kiting and started off with Seal of Command and Shadow Aura since the shadow damage is the most damaging move.

Keep in mind:

• Always move backwards to minimize the time you stand in Rain of Fire
• get the 2 Guards down asap
• Use Sacred Shield and instant Flash of Light as often as possible
• delay Bubble as long as possible to remove the healing debuff, heal up before you get the debuff again.
• once the adds are down switch to SoV and hope you can outlast Gehennas

I have put up a short video of my last – but not best :D – Gehennas kill.

Good Luck! Let me know how it worked for you!

Saturday is Treebearman’s Trial of the Grand Crusader (TotGC) 25 day. It is our third kill now and today we managed to get the Achievement “A Tribute to Mad Skill (25 player)“, for killing Anub’arak in 49 tries. Only one silly wipe on Twin Val’kyr away from a Tribute to Insanity which we will hopefully get soon.

With Justicebringer my Paladin is almost better geared soon than my Shaman :D We also had the third Death’s Verdict in a row which ispretty nice, considering that in the main raids on normal and heroic we have seen only 1 Death’s Verdict drop so far.

Thanks for the awesome performance and next goal is Insanity! Congratulations to all!

It has been a little over 1 year that wotlk and the achievement system came live now. With all the 10 raids instances a week on 2 characters cost a lot of time, the summary is a little late this month, but here is the 2 monthly Total Gold Acquired overview.

(note: the picture is quite big, give it some moments to load)

Summary November 2009:

• Total gold acquired: 800713 g
• Average gold earned each day: 2149 g
• Gold looted: 80222 g
• Gold from Quest rewards: 56708 g
• Gold earned from auctions: 660548 g
• Auctions posted: 377604

I shifted my sales a bit, as you can see from the previous post

http://www.myrddin.de/2009/09/01/total-gold-acquired-september-09/

Here are the changes since the last post:

• Daisan: +72655 g
• Exorial: +18730 g
• Slanty: +1722 g
• Gregorius: + 49650 g
• Myrddin: + 100530g
• Finewares: +15433 g
• Myrddin, V2: + 25552 g

As you can see I mainly focused on Daisan and Gregorius for income, basically only enchanting Materials. glyphs are a nice income, but it just takes too much time to put all the glyphs up all the time. Also parking my alts in instances for BRD and Scarlet Monastery summons did not really boost sales. I logged my Myrddin (the orc shaman) on Magtheridon only 3-4 times the past few months, it is really too easy to make gold there.

Even now, with the recent disenchanting changes, there is still lots of profit to make with Infnite Dust and other enchanting materials. The buy cheap, sell expensive tactic is still working like a charm.

Not sure if this is the first Pickup Group to defeat the Evil Anub’arak on the Trial of the Grand Crusader (25, heroic), but I think it is definitely worth mentioning.

I think it is pretty amazing to gather 25 players and reach Anub’arak with 49 tries left in the first place, there was a wipe on twins, and then to need only 7 further tries to kill the final boss of the Trial of the Grand Crusader.

The setup was far from perfect, for example we had 1 ret paladin in like 50% tanking gear (due to lack of alternatives), and there were also many alts which makes this kil even more  impressive. A big /salute to Treebearman from Pacifism to get this started!

Well done everyone!
