Back in October 2012, I set up a plan to attain the Herald of the Titans, Feat of Strength. This involved setting up home on a new server (Defias Brotherhood) with my Horde charcters, rolling a new priest and setting up a new guild, including a new website.

Thankfully I was able to recruit some friends from Exhumed, and through the realm forums and some advertising on the Rawrcast and Convert To Raid podcasts, I was able to fill a few more spots.

If you've been watching my achievement feed to the right you may have noticd I got the Herald of the Titans a few days back and may have wondered why I hadn't published anything yet and it has simply been a matter of unavailable time until today.

Our first official raid night and a valiant band of 7 heroes entered Wrath raiding at the beginning and we kicked some ass!

The team was Artherion, Cumingallove, Evangelysm, Heideroosje, Krius, Shifthead and Zombaal.

The Necropolis fell first as Kel'Thuzad and his minions failed to stop us, although they did take more than a small bite out of Zombaal who seemed to be their main focus. He has therefore become the official ReExhumed sacrificial gnome!

Yes this is 2012 and yes Alaglon was way back in 2009, but for Project Titan, Algalon will be proper content!

We're still looking for some players who are interested in getting the Herald of the Titans title and Feat of Strength, so if you're keen and able to bring a level 80 Horde character to the party and preferably to the Defias Brotherhood server, get in touch with my by:

• joining our forums at the ReExhumed guild website;
• in game mail to Evangelym on the Defias Brotherhood EU realm;
• an email to evlyxx at evlyxx dot com;
• or leaving a comment on this or one of the other Project Titan threads

Things have moved on with Project Titan, I decided to go Horde as me and most of the folks from Exhumed haven't experienced raiding Horde. After a suggestion from my pal Gricey, I'v e gone on an RP PVP server, Defias Brotherhood EU and have even created a guild, ReExhumed.

The reason I selected that realm in particular was, according to WoW progress, that it was the most advanced raiding server of all the EU RP realms AND has a reasonable raiding population both of which means the AH activity is OK and will hopefully give us access to crafted raid patterns. There is also a nice Horde:Alliance population balance.

I have a burning ambition to do something challenging. Some may call it stupid, others pointless but it is something that I want to do but I need help from 9 others to achieve. There is no time limit on getting the team together to do it though. You're probably all thinking what the hell is he on about. OK so you may not, but regardless. 

I'm going to share this dream with you today, because my dear friends, the dream I have is to become Evlyxx, Herald of the Titans (in game not in real life). Now the main issue I face with achieving this is that this became a Feat of Strength in Cataclysm and with the account wide nature of achievements, it is now possible to get it on your main regardless of their level. However, while it is still obtainable there is a catch; all raid members have to be level 80. The second obstacle for me is that I have 11 characters on my home realm and really don't fancy reopening my second account.

After 4 days of slowly killing the residents of Booty Bay, Evlyxx has finally attained the title of Bloodsail Admiral. Rather than relying on outside help from a raid, I deployed the Doublerum method. This is done by a quest called, Doublerum which starts a phased event of an assault on Booty Bay by the Bloodsail Buccaneers and once this starts all the bouncers become level 35. Leaving you relatively safe in killing the Booty Bay residents for reputation.

The past few weeks the folks at Exhumed and I have been going back and doing the meta, Glory of the Firelands Raider. We had all the required heroic kills and lacked only the Do a Barrel Roll achievement because we had always managed to hit a tornado. So our mission was simple get in there and kill her without getting hit by tornados. Easy!

Well it would have been had we not been plagued by a series of random DCs, people getting hit by brushfire (one of our group had that to get as well) and after 2 hours of wiping we decided to not calling a wipe for the brushfire, and then promptly went ahead and avoided ALL 4 obstacles at once, go figure.

A few of the team (aka the slackers) still need a few achievements and I'm sure we can go get them soon as the hardest ones are all done anyway.

I’d like to thank Sophina for being the pain in the ass wanting to start this achievement, Baniza for making it happen and all the other players that came along at various points to join the core of 8 that got the meta last night.

Top work folks, you made an old man very happy,

With the exception of this I have so far, unlike many WoW bloggers, I have so far resisted the urge to splurge copious amounts of Mists of Pandaria information over my blog since the recent Blizzard press day and the NDA was lifted (not that I got that summon ofc). That will all end soon enough when I start playing the Beta that I have had for the past week and a half and not started downloading yet.

Mists of Pandaria has brought many cool new things and 3 of the key features for me are the fact that pets, mounts and achievements are now becoming account wide.

Pets are becoming account wide to facilitate the abomination that has been labelled Wowkemon around the community. But that aside the benefits of account-wide pets is bitter sweet sure it will save us all buying a pet multiple times and enabling us to use hard to acquire pets on our alts. The flip-side is that as an auction house player I'll have less opportunity to sell pets to other players in numbers. However, there are rumours of being able to sell battle pets and that may well be a better income stream than traditional pet sales anyway.

Mounts is pretty much the same deal and getting all my raiding achievement mounts on my alts will truly rock it also makes mount acquisition a bit faster if you can be bothered to grind rep with a faction on 2 characters simultaneously (Baradins Wardens/Argent Tournament). But the biggest win here for me is that Evlyxx will finally get the Baron's Mount that my deathknight, Nobunaga got a while back.

However the kicker are account-wide achievements. This for me is sweet and will allow me to recover my long lost TBC raiding achievements from when Evlyxx was an alt to my other priest purely because he was a tailor, in particular the Champion of the Naaru and Hand of A'dal titles.

Outside of raiding and my daily heroic for my valor points, this week has been mostly focused on fishing. The reason? Seafood Magnifique Feast, the reward for the guild achievement, That's A Lot Of Bait, which requires the guild to catch 10,000 from pools.

This had been a soft goal of mine since Cataclysm launch and I had half expected that the guys and girls of Saturday Knight Fever may have achieved this without actually anyone trying. After 2 months of the expansion a combination of the new "fun fishing" Blizzard promised at BlizzCon 2009 not materializing and the fact that most (if not all)  caster food is fished from open water rather than pools meant that we were not even half way through.

This week has been a bit strange for me, not enough WoW time due to family visits, although to be honest I felt better for it and will probably take more breaks especially as I'm pretty happy with Evlyxx's gear levels right now.

However, the week has not been without some postworthy incidents. firstly I decided I had slacked enough and really should finish off the Deepholm quests and get my rep up with Therazane so I could get the latest and greatest shoulder enchant. I had been putting this off because while I am a bit of a rep junkie I don't like being forced into grinding for it.
