Eyepatched joined us not long ago and he's already reached level 50! Eyepatched is a great healer and I hope to see him out in RvR with us soon! Congratulations!

Combat Nightshade Guide
Posted by Pharaoh@ 8:02 PM EST

Aetius has written a great guide on how to roll and play a combat Nightshade. While he admits his spec isn't for every Nightshade I have to say from playing with him in PvP and PvE he rocks. Take some time to check out his great advice on RvR tactics, realm abilities and techniques if you've got or plan to roll a Nighshade. To quote Profit when he first read it: "There's some good stuff in here."

Congratulations Wildhawk, Caly, Sunvolt and Event!

Big day for GoV yesterday as three of our members reached level 50! Wildhawk was the first to ding, and it happen to be his first character to 50, big congratulations!! Pharaoh and Darcstar hit 50 together on their alts Caly and Sunvolt while doing their epic quest. They both went into TNN as level 49s and came out as 50s! Also Anaethema has been working hard on spellcrafting with Event, and Event hit 1000 last night and can make every gem in the game! Congratulations everyone.

1100 Alchemy!
Posted by Pharaoh@ 10:58 AM EST

A HUGE Congratulations to Liloo, Profit's Alchemist, on reaching 1100 in Alchemy last night. While any trade skill is challenging in both time and financial investment, Profit took on the most costly trade in the game and made it to 1100 solely on his own funds. As he leveled he tracked how much money he spent and the total came to a shocking 35 platinum when he was done. He was able to keep crafting thanks to the many guild and realm members who purchased his items and tipped him. Of the 1100 points, 1000 - 1080 cost him 18 platinum alone, pretty scary and darned impressive.

As of the Herald update this morning, Liloo Multipaas is the #1 Alchemist in Hibernia and the #2 Hibernian to reach 1100 ever. Congratulations Liloo!

Congratulations Blachloch and Pharaoh!

Congratulations to Xeper for leveling Blachloch, his Mana Mentalist, up to 50. There is NEVER enough crack 5 to go around! Also Pharaoh, the crafting goddess, has finished up her "Crafting for Profit: Salvaging & Trinketing" guide which goes over the basics of leveling a crafter up to the levels needed to trinket and turn those seals and drops into much needed cash for all those Armor, SC, and Alchemy needs. The guide also illustrates step by step what to concentrate on each level as well as a break down on the money costs needed to raise tailoring and fletching. In the process of writing the guide Pharaoh has raised her Tailoring to 1100+! Congratulations to both Blachloch and Pharaoh in their achievements!

Congratulations Dedama and Isle!

Congratulations to both Isle and Dedama for reaching some impressive goals. First, Isle reached level 50 yesterday after many months of XP. /cheer Isle! Second, Dedama reached LGM++ Crafter by reaching 1100 in tailoring. From my crafting experience personally I don't know which is toucher, leveling a character to 50 or getting a crafter capped out. What I do know is both involve a lot of work. Congratulations to you both!

GoV members have been busy!

Sagewood has been working hard on his alts the past few weeks. First his tailor hit and passed 1100, and second his nightshade Ravenknight reached level 50! Miaka can finally relax as he has reached his goal of 1000 fletching! And last but not least Bouxdag was able to get online long enough to level his druid, Use Me, and she's now level 50 too. Congratulations all around.

Congratulations Blackmistress and Elvish!
Posted by Darcstar@ 11:27 AM EST

Congratulations to Blackmistress for making it to level 50 with her Nightshade and to Elvish for his level 50 Bard. The hard work has paid off and I am sure both are relieved to be finished with their leveling and so that they can now relax and enjoy RVR'ing. Good job!
