Guilded!
March 17, 2008
So I have a new guild. The Ebon Myth.
I was on over the weekend and got a tell from someone I recognized as the GM from the forum postings in the application forums. We had a brief chat, I got my raiding questions answered, and he shot me an invite.
And so started a fresh stream of green messages in my chat box. :-)
The good news on the raiding front is they have Kara and Gruul’s on farm. I need Kara so hopefully I can get a couple quick runs and get geared up without too much effort. The other good news is their prime raiding nights are Tuesday through Thursday starting at 9pm. This is good for me as my wife goes to bed at nine since she has to get up early. This means I should be able to consistently raid without a huge impact on the personal life.
The only bad news is since Kara is on farm, they only run Kara on Saturday nights. I usually try to keep the weekends for family life, so I’m going to have to figure out how to get on some runs without impacting RL. I’m hopeful maybe I can get a couple Monday night runs here and there to gear up.
I’ve only been on a couple of time since, but they seem like a good bunch of folks. Within a half hour of joining, I got my last few groups quests completed to be proclaimed: Amanna, QUEEN of the Ogres! Apparently, they hadn’t heard what I had done to these guys, these guys, or way back here. Nope killing this guy was enough for them. The cool part was I didn’t even ask for help with the quest. Shortly after joining the guild, someone was looking for help finishing the quest series and I volunteered to help. Within a couple minutes we had a group together and were on our way.
Getting the grimorie ended up in a couple deaths right as Vim’gol went down. He was just about dead when I glanced at my health to see I was about to die. I went down as did two others in our party. Long story short our healer got a phone call right when we started the event and was also eating lunch, so his heals got off “a bit slower” than normal. Normally you would be upset about something like this, but everyone laughed it off, gave him some grief and generally didn’t take it too seriously. I took that as a good sign that maybe I found a guild that’s not quite so intense. And to our healer’s credit, he performed flawlessly on Soulgrinder.
With finishing that quest series off, I was able to start the dailies up in Ogri’La. Within an hour I had accumulated around 150G. Some of that was the payoffs for the opening quests, but I’m looking at a much higher daily total now I have these dailies open versus the couple I was doing over in Skettis.
Plus, I have a new skinning area. The activity level in the north Forge camp Wrath was pretty high with lots of those big green, two-headed demon dogs being killed. No one was skinning, so while I was running/flying around on my bombing runs, I did a lot of skinning. I seemed to get an unusually high amount of Fel Hides, which is good since they go for around 4G/5 skins on my server. Anyway - I’m looking for a good acceleration to my 5,000g for epic flying now.

I have been doing the Ogri’la dailies on my three 70s ever Ogri’la was introduced. I do them every day, on all three toons, and never miss a day. My hunter is a skinner, and I never walk away with less than two full stacks of knothide leather and a ton of scraps. The Fel Hides normally drop off the boars in between the two camps from what I’ve noticed. Ogri’la will be your skinning haven and you will find you are spending a lot of your time up there.
Also, make sure you fly low to the ground at all times. It’s a lot easier for a druid, but you will still die, guaranteed. Those pesky dragons will shoot you out of the sky and before you can click your flight form button you’ll be splattered all over the ground. 
And start saving your darkrunes! The event still bugs out quite often, and I was told by a GM on Friday that they are no longer reimbursing darkrunes for the event bugging out. So… don’t even think about trying it until Bliz states that it is fixed.

Congratulations on your new guild. Sounds really nice.
I’ve only recently hit Exalted with Ogri’la and the Sha’tari Skyguard. Most of this was accomplished through the bombing runs.
Thanks for the Skinning hint, I need more Gold for an Epic Flyer for the Alt.

If you’re doing Ogri’la dailies - be sure to get the banishing demons stuff and try out the Shartuul event - it’s a giggle and there’s a nice ring drops if you can ever finish it.
