Down, down, down goes the evil fire monster known as Ignis the furnace master.

While some of our esteemed guildies have had the pleasure of seeing the furnace master fall, Arcanapocolypse has not been able to drop the smelting pot wearing as a collective guild after several tries…until… a few nights ago..
A group of 7 members of Arcanapocolypse and 3 folks from other noble guilds walked into Ulduar with high hopes and cautious expectations.

There he was, Ignis, working diligently at his forge of destruction. Little did he know he had just tempered his last piece. Armed with powerful melee, extraordinary healing abilities, and vicious ranged attacks the 10 person group picked a fight with the monster that is Ignis.

So the fight began. The Tank warrior kept him occupied while a well-armored Paly lured Ignis’s fiends into his own fire only be destroyed quickly by the devastating ranged arcane attacks. Ignis constantly scooped up members of the group and threw them into the soldering pot that hangs from his belt. Thinking those that were cast into the pot was not coming out, Ignis continued to rain down fire upon the small group of adventurer’s. Imagine the surprise when Ignis looked down in his pot and noticed those he had thrown inside where no longer there and those that he kept throwing in, continued to have their life force given back to them quicker then he could take it.

Bit by bit the onslaught on Ignis continued. No matter how hard Ignus hit the puny warrior in front of him or how many fiends he summoned to life, the life of the hero’s continued to replenish and Ignis’s own life slowly dwindled away.
Finally the last bit of life was replenished, and the final spells were cast. The last slash of a dagger and sword, and the blows of a mace hit their deadly marks, the giant of fire and metal stooped to one knee, then another, and soon after dropped lifeless to the floor. Ignus had met his match. VICTORY at LAST !!!

Congratulations to those who had previously conquered Ignis as well as the group of 7 who bravely took on the challenge that is Ignis and walked out of Ulduar victorious.

The long road to 80 complete!

The members of Arcanapocolypse would like to send out congratulations to those of the guild who committed themselves to start a character from scratch and get them to level 80. The following are those who recently worked either a main or alt up to level 80. (If I missed anyone who recently hit 80 I apologize).

NBK worked up his Human Priest “ FatherNBK”.
Enjela brought up a Dranei shaman by the name Lucilalenore. Most call her “Lucy”
Gerkers, wants to try his hand at tanking and brought up a Human Warrior to level 80.

Celare went out of his comfort zone and traded in his plate for some cloth and worked up a human Warlock named “Harkell”.
A job well done to you all.

Meetings, events and other news.

The leadership of Arcanapocolypse held an advisors meeting last month and many issues were discussed. One of the topics discussed were giving assigned tasks to the advisors. The advisors volunteered to handle a variety of things including, handling raids, meeting and greeting new members, writing news articles, etc.

Also discussed were plans to hold a one-week celebration in honor of arcanapocolypse’s 2-year anniversary as a guild. NBK is spearheading the effort and more information will follow, so stay tuned to the boards.

That about wraps up the news for now. Stay tuned for more news as it happens.
