Da Kine

Resident news-person reporting for duty!  Unfortunately, I come bearing a distinct lack of pretty pictures to help balance the walls of text I usually inundate our visitors with, so here’s a picture of a Taunka to entertain you for now.

Rest assured, a thorough update will be coming soon enough, but in the mean-time, we though it might be best to at least have our main page reflect our progress to date.

At the time of this posting, we’ve made stellar progress through Icecrown Citadel, with 6 of 12 bosses dead on heroic mode for our 25 man raid.  Our 10 mans have been no less successful, and are currently sitting at 10/12 heroic bosses defeated, with 11/12 likely for this weekend.

We’re still recruiting for a few spots in our 25 man raids, and you can find more information here.

A proper update with killshots and welcomes and other fancy details will be coming shortly to a front-page near you.

Imua Da Kine!

This update does not get a full-blown ramble.  Instead, you get the collective response to this downing from the entire raid:

<Deep exhale> Thank. God.

For some reason, Putricide was more of a pain-in-the-ass for us than most bosses.  However, our kill was (comically enough) a perfectly clean downing, which just goes to show that sometimes patience pays off (or maybe it was the pent-up frustration finally culminating in a raid of teeth-grinding, button-mashing,  eye-crossing, oh-hell-no-you-don’t determination).

Imua Da Kine!

P.S.  We’re currently working on getting a module up for the front page to keep our recruitment handy.  Until that goes live, please feel free to check in on our current recruiting needs here.

Two of Lethon’s First Shadow’s Edges.

In typical Da Kine style, we’re quick to achieve but slow to report! To add to our list of not-so-recent achievements (at the beginning of January), Kusaruh and Dridarok were two of our members who crafted [item]Shadow’s Edge[/item] — two of the first of these axes on the Lethon server.

Kusaruh has been a long-standing member of Da Kine (over two years), who was awarded the first two bloods from Rotface and Festergut.  His continuous contributions to Da Kine are especially evident in his hosting of our in-guild raffle for prizes such as [item]Traveler’s Tundra Mammoth[/item] and other coveted in and out-of-game goodies.  Suffice to say, we truly appreciate Kusaruh’s efforts, and are cheering him on towards his [item]Shadowmourne[/item].

Current progress:  Quest – Unholy Infusion (in progress)

Dridarok has also been a long-standing member of Da Kine (coming up to two years), who originally joined us on his druid, before switching to his now-fury warrior.  Dridarok is well recognized by Da Kine for his dependability, humour, and loyalty.  In recognition of Dridarok’s respected position within Da Kine, he was awarded our second set of bloods, and is currently well on his way to wielding his own [item]Shadowmourne[/item].

Current progress:  Quest – A Feast of Souls (910/1000)

Progression through ICC continues on both 10 and 25 man raids

Da Kine has continued to progress through ICC, with our 10 man raids having cleared all of the Plague and Blood wings, and up to the newly-released Sindragosa (which our weekend 10 mans are seeing for the first time at the time of this writing).  Our 25 man raid has continued to progress, and we hope to see Valithria Dreamwalker down this week.

Recruitment

We are still recruiting several classes, as outlined in the most recent previous update.  If you’re interested in applying to Da Kine, please feel free to drop by our forums and drop off an application, or just stop by for a chat in our General Discussion!

Imua Da Kine!
