Deeprun Pest Control

Author Archive

Last weekend, Deeprun Pest Control held the Monkey Island event on Aggramar. Visitors came from far afield: both Horde and Alliance alike were present, including many from far-off servers…

Arena Brawl

The first event was a 9-way class vs class battle in the Gurubashi Arena to see which class could successfully open the treasure chest. It didn’t take long for the mages to be victorious, but this may have been because some classes were just having too much fun ganking their favourite anti-class.

A video of this event was recorded by Wietkop from Strawberry Tigers.

Treasure Hunt

The class battle was followed by a scavenger hunt across Stranglethorn Vale. Following the clues given, the brave adventurers set off in search of such rare items as a message in a bottle and a cockatiel, before finally finding the elusive Buygrush to deliver the items in person.

The winner of this event was Lagola (aka. Amadrienia) from Deeprun Pest Control, who won a “The Footsteps of Illidan” TCG card complete with code for[Path of Illidan.

Costume Contest

The penultimate event was the much anticipated costume contest. Judging the winners was tough, there were many great entries, but eventually 3 clear winners emerged. The 2 runners-up were Pandiani (as Medivh) and Tamber (as an Orc Grunt), each of whom won a “Pet Biscuits” TCG card.

The winner of the contest was a dwarf named Balarak, dressed up as an Irridiated Sentry gnome from Gnomeregan (complete with Alarm Bot pet). He was awarded the grand prize of a Beta key for Wrath of the Lich King.

Fireworks Display

The final event was a spectacular cliff-top fireworks display. Tens of thousands of fireworks went up in smoke in a stunning display.

A video of the costume contest and the fireworks display was recorded by a visiting cameraman, Existensa. An outtakes video is also available courtesy of Wietkop.

We’d like to thank Skypheonix for organising yet another highly successful and memorable event, and to everyone who attended: thank you for coming, and we hope you had a good time!

Also thanks to the 2 GMs who turned up to show us their moves!

Deeprun Pest Control (DPC) are inviting Aggramar to join them in waving goodbye to the summer in a very special event where we reveal the Secret of Monkey Island! Themed on the game, this event involves a costume contest, treasure hunting, class v class arena war, and the infamous bouts of insult sword fighting! And, as the finale, we’ll be closing with the biggest fireworks display to date!

Starting time: 2:45pm game time, 13th September
Location: The Stranglethorn arena

Lower level escort will leave from Darkshire centre at 2:30 sharp. Don’t be late!

For full details see the thread on the EU Aggramar forums.

Mary Kate and Ashley Lady Sacrolash and Grand Warlock Alythess (also known as the Eredar Twins) were our latest targets in Sunwell Plateau… and now they are dead on a perfect attempt (after about 50 tries of failing to move on conflag, raid getting chain stunned and tanks biting the dust).

As bosses go they’re not the most challenging in SWP, but they are a good idiot / attention span check. We used the so-called “reverse” strategy, killing Lady Sacrolash first – more healing intensive, but much simpler execution.

The loot was:

• Mantle of the Golden Forest – Judith
• Grip of Mannoroth – Ruriko
• Amulet of Unfettered Magics – Yakujim
• Belt of the Forgotten Protector – Defiant
• Equilibrium Epaulets – Castodius
• Sin’dorei Pendant of Triumph – Judith

After a bit of a lull with the holidays, we’re back on form. Felmyst down in spectacular style (even despite a dodgy breath call on 1%, not my fault k! /o\ ).

Loot was (omg no Vanquisher):

• Chain Links of the Tumultuous Storm (aka. [Kilt of Spiritual Reconstruction]) – Stormina
• Boots of the Forgotten Protector – Vierklauw
• Boots of the Forgotten Protector – Axelf
• Boots of the Forgotten Conqueror – Gruddas

Next up we have a hot date with some twins…

It was a pretty brutal* fight, but Brutallus is now no more.

A monstrous DPS race of epic proportions, and very much a Patchwerk v2.0. Well done to everyone who participated, including those who farmed loads of mats for all the pots we used!

Loot was:

• Leggings of Calamity – Fercil
• Belt of the Forgotten Vanquisher – Beecees
• Belt of the Forgotten Protector – Judith
• Belt of the Forgotten Protector – Tinything

*The persons responsible for this attempt at a joke have been reprimanded appropriately.

Just to prove that we can actually do it properly, Illidan was defeated again, and this time with the whole raid still standing at the end.

Video of this kill is available: Here as filmed by our resident gnoam warlock tank Fercil.

Congratulations everyone, we did it!

Loot this time was:

• Memento of Tyrande – Traxxdragoni
• Faceplate of the Impenetrable – Batou
• Chestguard of the Forgotten Conqueror – Zealot
• Chestguard of the Forgotten Vanquisher – Lanariel

Yes, the moment you’ve all been waiting for has arrived…

The most powerful healing force this side of the dark portal has awakened from its slumber.

I give you…

Treecees!

Down on the very first attempt we’ve ever done, Grobbulus truly earns his reputation as the easiest boss in Naxxramas. Nevertheless, awesome job from the entire raid!

We celebrated our victory by going and one-shotting Maexxna. All in all a great night!

Another fine night of DPC on top form, another boss in Naxxramas down! This time was the turn of Patchwerk, the large and rather playful boss from the Abomination Wing.

Loot was a Band of Reanimation for Razyen and Desecrated Shoulderpads for Kalistra.

DPC swung into action and took down the mighty Maexxna, final boss of the Naxxramas Spider Wing!
