Illhoof and Chess Event - Down

Apparently the Illhoof wipes didn't sit well with anyone. A few hours after our first crack, there were enough GM2's to make another run at Illhoof. Old friends Lokust and Moofia came with. Illhoof went down on the second try. No loots for the GM2 crew, just some pally gear and a well-deserved belt for Lokust.

After Illhoof we learned a cool trick to avoid a half hour's worth of clearing to get to the Chess Event. The Chess Event was as goofy as I imagined it to be. Luckily a wipe on the chess event means you start over with no repair bill. Took us 2 tries to get through. Drops included more worthless pally gear and some nice boots for your loyal scribe and tank.

With library mobs respawning behind us our options were limited to hearthing out or attempting Prince Mel. Angelo and I were amazed and kind of excited to get our asses handed to us on this one. It seems do-able, but it's going to take some effort and that seems like a good thing. Our second attempt on Prince got him to 34% which we took as a moral victory. At the very least we got some guild experience on him that will come in handy the next time.

Good times had by all. Fun to think we were just barely clearing Attumen & Moroes earlier this week.
