The last fragment needed dropped from Yogg-Saron the previous week. A mysterious draenei male shaman has been holding his dry, uncomplete hammer for a week now. This week, he had a little conversation with Brann, who told that the hammer needs some refreshment. So, we went to Yogg-Saron again, but this time, Hapero bravely dipped his hammer in Yogg's wet mouth. After some minutes of struggling, Yogg spat out [Val'anyr, Hammer of Ancient Kings] straight into Hapero's hand.

Congratulations to Hapero for the mace, and make sure you'll make good use of it!



On our way to Yogg-Saron, we also destroyed General Vezax and his saronite friend. And at the same time, some of us got a mail. It was from Brann again. He had some drakes for us again, but this time they weren't so rusty.

Brann had a mission for us. He wanted us to gather the watchers' sigils to gain his trust. Some of us did it, and they gained a good load of money and the most important, the key to Algalon's residence.

Algalon the Observer was there waiting for us, must've been fun. He escaped from us for two times, but on the third hour, he simply couldn't stay on his feet anymore. Algalon decided to give up and gave us his gift. The world got saved by these rats, but in one week, we'll have to do it again.

Our journey towards the drakes started at manly Hodir on the first week of Ulduar, quickly followed by Thorim, the man of hammers. As we started to receive more loot from Ulduar, the hard modes were steamrolled badly, besides the intelligent engineer, Mimiron.

The first time we pressed the big red button, it felt like an impossible task. We got burned pretty badly and our gear started to get rusty. Fortunately, we had an ogre friend at the base camp. I think he made some cash. However, after some hours of playing with fires, we got lucky and tsunami hit the floor. With the help of this chaotic threat, Mimiron's vehicles were beat almost flawlessly. Almost.

When the vehicles were beat, we got some [Toothless Gear]. Too bad that those were rusty, so all we got was these drakes.

We're currently recruiting exceptional players to fill our ranks in the Ulduar, mostly training Ulduar 25 hard modes.

This time Exploding Labrats killed another Old God, Old God of Death. The fight is pretty awesome and will be even more awesome when we leave the four watchers up on balcony to scratch their buttocks.

Ulduar itself has also been lots of fun, lots of new encounters and lots of achievements to do. We also cleared Ulduar10 last night and got good laugh at Yogg10, it's nothing to compared Yogg25.

Stargazer next!
