Shining Alliance returned to Korafax today for a clean sweep of the zone. After flawless wins on Pallorax and Ksathrax, we marched forward to prepare for another attempt on the Mindshear Avatar. We quickly reviewed the strategy and jumped right in. With phenomenal performances by everyone the acolytes fell one by one and the cowardly Avatar showed his ugly face - which we promptly smashed in.

Congratulations to all of those who are newly flagged for Discord Tower! From here we set in for some serious Tower Key farming. Now that we have the strategy nailed down for Mindshear we can get six Tower Keys per week.

Over the past several weeks, Shining Alliance has proudly defeated several SoD Teir 3 raid events. The punishment started with Pallorax the Soul Slayer, who at first was reluctant to give up his treasure, but after a little persuasion (and lots of DPS) he's been placed on farm status.

After Pallorax, we turned to Showdown at the Crystal Core. It took a few attempts to get the mechanics of the event down, but after changing the way we dealt with the add waves, we were able to emerge from the Showdown victorious. We've since returned to farm those precious wrist/hand essences.

After Crystal Core we set our sights on the remainder of Korafax. First up was Venom Lord Ksathrax. After learning the tank requirements and the importance of placement for VL and VP (as well as healers and casters) we've placed Venom Lord Ksathrax on farm status. One event remains for Korafax: The Mindshear Avatar.

 While we continue to work on SoD Teir 3 raids we're also farming Old Man McKenzie Dragon Raids twice per week, which are arming our raiders up with even more Teir 3 raid-caliber loots!

Fun and phat loots are being had by all. Congratulations SA!
