Archived post from September 6, 2013 - Ifrit Bleeds, We Can Kill It!

With enough people having completed the story to do a full free company event, we decided to go and pump out some Ifrit battles before going to farm Castrum Meridianum for Darklight pieces. 

Congratulations to:

I know this is late, but better late that never! On September 14, 2013, we went in to challenge Garuda for clears and relic progression. It took us a couple of tries, but we eventually downed her. Now, less than a week later, we're comfortable enough on the fight to farm weapons. Since our first victory, we've gotten a whole bunch of weapons for a bunch of people!

After weeks and weeks of struggling to clear this turn, Simple finally cleared Turn 5 today! We had an issue recently with our roster, but this may have been for the best. With our newest member, Blue Bird, we were able to clear after only a handful of attempts! (Our first attempt ever with Blue, we got her to 6% and hit the enrage.) Today our first attempt ended with over a minute until the enrage and Twintania sitting at 5% but had unfortunate disconnects. It seemed the odds were not in our favor, but fast forward a couple of attempts later and down she went!

Congratulations to everyone in our roster who got their first clears tonight! Job amazingly well done, and I couldn't be more proud to be part of a group that works hard together to clear current content and have fun while doing it. I'm truly honored to be part of this static with all of you. <3 Let's keep it up in 2.2!

Congratulations on first time clear to: 

Vistar Wrisse (PLD), Ricardo Moran (WAR),  Revenna Rissew (WHM), Estellise Lunaren (SCH), Cutie Patewtee (BLM), Swifty Paws (BRD), Mandlorian Nymeria (SMN), Blue Bird (BRD)

And as far as epic loot goes, congratulations to: 

Revenna Rissew (Allagan Cane)

Mandlorian Nymeria (Allagan Choker of Casting)

Ninja Edit: Here's a picture by the Bahamut head after our second clear. <3 Grats to Ricardo (Allagan Battleaxe) and Swifty (Allagan Trousers of Aiming) on their loot!

Archive Post - May 2, 2014 - Second Coil of Bahamut - Turns 1-3, complete! Server 3rd FC T8!

This is very, very late. I wasn't entirely sure if I should post these screenshots or not because the group isn't made entirely of free company members. This is a mostly FC group. We have two members from NOVA, Lord Palom and Ryu Hoshi, as well as one member from Sctr7, Valkor Zetsway, who run with 5 members from our FC in this static. But since a majority of us are from Simple, and we're very proud of what we've been able to accomplish together so far, I've decided to finally post these up.  

I have been keeping track of the loot we've been getting in the company from these turns in the raid tracker. ^^ Someone not in our FC had mentioned to one of us that we really should post these on our site because our Turn 8 Clear date makes us one of the first on the server to clear the turn, and they're absolutely right: We're proud and there's no reason not to share.

On April 12, 2014 we went into the Second Coil of Bahamut and cleared Turn 1 (commonly known as Turn 6).

Swifty Paws (High Allagan Belt of Aiming)

Mandlorian Nymeria (High Allagan Choker of Casting)

A few days later, on April 17, 2014 we cleared Turn 2 (Turn 7)! :D Melusine proved to be quite the challenge, but we persevered and got some shiny loot out of it!

Cutie Patewtee (Unidentified Allagan Tomestone -> Weathered Laevateinn)

Swifty Paws (Oil of Time -> Auroral Wristlets)

Most recently, on April 25, 2014, our group went in and cleared Turn 3 (Turn 8 ) as well. According to the World Progression thread, it looks as if our group is the third FC group to clear this Turn on Hyperion! Even if we're not third, at the very least we're in the top 10 groups of the server. ♥ Great job, guys!

Cutie Patewtee (High Allagan Gloves of Casting)

Archive Post - November 2, 2014 - The Final Coil of Bahamut - Turn 1, Complete!

With all the recent sadness going on around here, I wanted to share some good news to those who check the site.

We have a few people in our FC who take part in endgame progression, 4 in one static and 2 in another. This week, with the patch, both of these statics went in to work on T1 of The Final Coil of Bahamut (or T10). Today, both groups went in and cleared within a couple of hours of one another.

Great job, everyone! <3 FC members' names will be bolded Other static members will have their FC tags listed!
