Happy Holidays and New Year’s Gnomes, Elves and Ogres! As Vintage prepares to finish this memorable year in the Velious expansion, we can’t help but to look back at all of the accomplishments of the guild and the friends who have bravely adventured with us along the way.

Beginning the year in the Kunark expansion, Vintage defeated and farmed the six legendary dragons of Veeshan’s Peak, showering the guild with some of the rarest loot Al’Kabor has seen. As we grew bored of the same scales and scenery, Vintage unlocked the new Velious expansion and immediately tested our raid force’s strength with the likes of Woushi, Lord Bob, Woushi, Kelorek Dar, Velketor the Sorcerer, Zlandicar, Dracolich, Derakor the Vindicator, and Statue of Rallos Zek.

Over the Summer, the guild had eyes for bigger targets, as we raised our Claws of Veeshan faction together in order farm armor from Temple of Veeshan’s Hall of Testing. We relentlessly farmed Skyshrine armor for everybody resulting in an even more effective team capable of killing the same targets at the beginning of the Summer with only two thirds of our attendance! Along with crafters and questers completing Coldain Shawls and other quested upgrades, a leaner, meaner Vintage raid force emerged.

Reaping the benefits of all the farming and questing, Vintage began collecting Sleepers Tomb keys, currently at 18, and defeating more difficult mobs such as Klandicar, Dozekar the Cursed, NToV’s Ikatiar the Venom and West Wing’s Gozzrem and Telkorenar.

Vintage’s goals for 2012 are to begin farming Primal weapons from Sleeper’s tomb for our members, and push into North Temple of Veeshan and the Cazic Thule revamped zone. Many challenges await and Vintage will be looking forward to steamrolling through Velious in the new year! Are you interested in joining? Head over to our forums and apply to the guild!

Happy New Years!
