Turtle

One of our best friends in WoW, Obento (who's main is now his mage - Konbawa) had a mission! Polymorph: Turtle. It was a ball forcing a coin onto a guild mate so he could purchase the reasonably priced tome in the auction house.

It was well worth it! Konbawa insisted on paying us back in record time, and crowd control has never been the same.

Champion of the Naaru


Today, Jondy and I earned the title Champion of the Naaru, by successfully completing what used to be the attunements for 25 man raids, SSC and TK.

The quest chains involved several heroics - Shattered Halls, The Steamvault, The Arcatraz and Shadow Labyrinth - the harder heroics in the game. I was particularly excited to tank through the timed event in Shattered Halls without losing a hostage, since everyone wants a pally tank for that instance.

The quests also require you to complete all of the T4 content, particularly killing Nightbane, Gruul and Magtheridon. We downed Magtheridon the hard way, in a full PUG group that Jondy and I put together. With some diligent screening, we were able to put together a 25 man group that was patient enough to let it all come together. Since several other toons were after Magtheridon as the last step toward the title, it was a great feeling to lead the raid to victory!
