Raid Progresssion

It's been a while since I posted how our guild is doing with raid progression. This post has especially good timing considering the progress we made last night :)

The tabard that Kady is wearing is her new guild tabard. Gates of Dawn and Broken Kingdom officially came together and created a new, merged guild called Run Away Little Girl. The old guilds still exist and have alts in them to maintain them, but we will be using the new merged guild, RALG, for the purpose of staffing both sets of raid nights. The merge paid off last night when the former GoD crew (now dubbed the "Wednesday" group), along with members from the BK crew, downed Sindragosa for the very first time! It took several attempts but eventually we mastered the fight and took that annoying, PMSing dragon down!

After distributing the loot, we headed over to Plague where we pwn3d Festergut and Rotface big time. It was like watching a choreographed dance, we were smooth, seamless, and kick-ass! There will be discussion next week as to whether or not we'll want to extend the raid lock and wave hello to the big LK (after the Prof. of course). We also have not yet set foot in the Ruby Sanctum (not as a guild anyway, the Thur/Fri group, and a few of our Wed raiders have pugged it, but that's the extent of it), and I'm eager to try that one out.

What do you do during que?

As a tank, or even a healer, the Random Que doesn't take very long. You get your frosties in no time at all and you're on your way.

As a DPS on the other hand, you can wait fifteen minutes or more just for one dungeon. What to do with that time? Sure you can do dailies or work on getting Loremaster. I do those sometimes, but mostly, I knit.

I took up knitting a month or so ago. Not as difficult as I originally thought and way more fun. I'm very much a visual person, colors and shapes attract my attention. Creating something, crafting something, being able to do it anywhere I go (without the annoying necessity of batteries), I was probably bound to pick up knitting one way or another. Ravelry.com is now another website that I've become addicted to, users can upload pictures of projects and share patterns as well as buy new ones. Very cool, very useful.
