Double XP just keeps on giving. You level up quicker, you catch up to your legion-mates, and you can finally craft that Armor or Weapon you want (six weeks after you first got the recipe). Cyrus did not let the Double XP weekend pass by; it grabbed it by the proverbials, and wrung it out before kicking it out the front door on Monday morning. With the majority of members the better side of level 40, we set up a series of Steel Rake runs.
Despite how the organiser nearly ragequit life due to the stress, members of Cyrus took to the scene with gusto and a hatred for pirates, matched only by the love for Hairpins, Wine, Cheese and other such booty. The (aptly named) Human Potion from Across the Ocean, Shikiru, walked away with Steel Beard Pirate's Diamond Earrings (http://www.aionarmory.com/item.aspx?id=120000910) (making sure to kill Madame Bovariki before raiding her jewellery box), much to the envy of those around her. Other scenes of bravado were noted; Daemion, Laryssa and Ecto taking to arms against a wine-room full of linked elites with a departed healer and tank, all three surviving. And of course Daemion showing off his impressive skills of relocating mobs away from fallen comrades, despite the tank claiming he cannot CC for Mau manure.
Cyrus is now dedicated to bringing up the rear on the first wave of members reaching the big five-oh, and getting them into the endgame as a legion group to make the Miragent and Anuhart armors that little more attainable. With fresh faces, free from the decay of the undeniable grind now taking the lower ranks, those still with Balaur Conspiracy and other group quests will soon have a second chance to get the job done.
This time there is no excuse. D<
