Week #110 (Feb 9 - Feb 15)
Current Guild Ranking (20th): Late Velious Era
AIF joined it's 4th RTA Rotation this week, and did a whole bunch of Flagging events (Trials of Justice, BoT flagging, Tactics flagging) to get more members flagged for higher tier Planes of Power. We're adding new members to our membership roster (over 150 members in the guild, with 64 ranked as "active mains", and a median level of 59!). We've got an opportunity to jump into a few more rotations immediately, so stay tuned!
Headline News
- Klandicar Defeated! Klandicar, the great frost-breathing dragon of the Western Wastes, who guards the passage to Dragon Necropolis, was dropped by AIF this week. Klandicar is the 4th RTA Rotation for the Avengers in faith -- and the third new rotation for the guild in as many months. Getting on the Klandicar rotation is important, because it allows AIF to get keys for Sleeper's Tomb. To enter Sleeper's Tomb, every member of the AIF raiding force must have a key. Keys are obtained through a quest, and one of the components of the quest is a drop from any of the five dragons of Veeshan's First Brood, as well as some Velious Era boss MOBs. Congratz Derva on Klandicar's Talisman (3 Avengers are now keyed for Sleeper's Tomb), with more soon to follow!
- Trials of Justice: We ran more groups through the Trials of the Tribunal, in the Plane of Justice this week. Plane of Justice flags (which gets participants a free AA to spend, and access to the Plane of Storms and Plane of Valor) were won by Aaradeb, Derva, Nral, Toromin, and Xumten. The line of Avengers hoping to jump into the flagging rotation was long, and we didn't get a chance to do everyone. Don't worry, folks, we'll keep at this until everyone interested has their flags.
- Plane of Storms Flagging: Nuamas organized (but then LD'd through most of) a Diaku Raiding party in the Plane of Storms this week. Nuamas needs 3 more Diaku emblems, which will allow him to flag himself and five Avengers for the Plane of Tactics. We already have two groups of Avengers flagged for Tactics, and they've reported some AMAZING XP and fun in Tactics. Dryanna is only 1 emblem away from flagging an Avenger group, and Gicoso was able to get two emblems (so he only needs two more to complete the quest). Looks like we'll have a sizeable raid force (5 groups) in Tactics soon!
- Gates of Discord Released: Gates of Discord was released this past week, the 6th expansion set in the Everquest game. This is a high-end gaming expansion that we look forward to exploring soon. The expansion also introduced the Berserker class, and AIF's own Ahrok was among the first to jump on the class and start grinding him up. "I've been waiting for this day," he confided, a berserker lust in his eyes! This expansion also introduced the new "Tribute System", which allows players to hand in their "junk loots" in exchange for tribute points. Tribute points can be used to gain various buffs (increase to ATK ratings, flowing thought 5, etc. Although it's been exploited and nerfed, it remains an interesting system to use.
- Congratz Raphayl and Gravelor on completing your Spirit Wracked Cords epic quest!
Welcome to the New Avengesr!
- Soullbash (Barbarian 59-Beastlord) has submitted his membership application and begun the Trial of Faith this week. He was befriended at a young level by Mizael and Dryanna, and comes to us most recently from Brigade. Welcome aboard!
- Camella (Vah Shir 45-Shaman) has joined the Avengers this week. She's the RL: wife of Blooms (former Avenger, now tagged with Vengeance of Lost Souls), and is proud to have gotten a character to planar levels (finally!!). She's self-proclaimed introvert, so work your magic on making her a chatty Avenger, like the rest of us, whenever you can!
- Bonecall (Gnome 51-Necromancer) was referred to AIF through Howlar. When not playing EQ, he's working as a lifeguard. He enjoys wrestling and computer games, EQ is tops of his favorites. You won't see Bonecall on often, he has 3 other siblings fighting over the same computer, but we're glad to have him with us!

Keys and Flags
AIF members stayed focusing on getting Kunark (Veeshan's Peak) and Planes of Power keys this week:
Veeshan's Peak
- Sarneho is hungry for dragon meat -- he completed all steps of the Veeshan's Peak key (F1-F13), and only needs a Trakanon Tooth to complete the quest. Well done!!
Planar Progression:
- Ainolin, Allyssa, Derva, Mizael, Nefarrio, Nral, Raphayl, Sarneho, Shantar, Solaxx and Toromin are now flagged for the Plane of Tactics! And we will soon have three more groups ready to be flagged, coming up quickly behind them (Dryanna, Nuamas and Giocoso are all nearing completeing on their Tactics quest, and will each be able to flag 5 more avengers for the Plane of Tactics!). By the end of the month, it's possible we'll have 30 Avengers flagged for Tactics, which is a significant accomplishment for the guild!
