i know i slack in updates but the first impressions of DoF raiding sucked anyway, due to no or worst loot ever. this phase really was a test for motivation and endurance for all guilds playing on a high end level and im thankful for x-server transfers, or the situation might have caused more serious trouble. it finally started to get interesting however, loot wise at least. encounter wise i have to say the diversification of encounters could have been paid some more attention but oh well, i guess the whole combat revamp is at least partly responsible for this.
welcome to all new recruits and members at this point btw - the biggest recruitment effort in the history of xanadu is finally over. (16 ppl are/were going through a trial since we started raiding dof!)
so.. what have we achieved untill now...
first of all, the contested are all down (beside barakah in pof, who just started showing up 2 days ago.. the first day we attempted him we wiped at 2% doh  then after LU17 he got changed a bit and we need to start from scratch. ah well, he prolly wont come close to the amount of attempts we had on terrorantula untill it finally died for the first time on runnyeye, on november 17th. which makes this the most expansive loot ever, plat wise 
this guy died 5 times so far, but all we got was a master spell untill now 
im sure you all know how this guy looks anyway:
first only dropped wood but the last 3 kills we got some nice things! including a mage hat omg!
after farming poets palace for those dragon scales *sigh* we also spawned and killed those some time ago (with quite some audience as you can see on the siyamak kill 
loot tables on these seem boring, but well considering its quest mobs one prolly cant really complain.
btw, SoE pls make Siyamak spawn again in Maj Dul ffs!! we have been waiting on this guy for over 2 weeks now and desperatly need him to go to the poets palace raid version!
so impressions on that have to wait untill the next update here
The Gates of Ahket Aken are a nice place to raid, had Ahk'Mun Rhoen spawned already the last time we were there but it was too late to start working on it properly.. anyway, we are pretty close to fully clear that place and alerady got some nice loot from there as well 
The Court of Al'Afaz.. well the first time there didnt last long, but at least we found out that you cannot revive inside. the next time we went there we cleared most of the place, leaving 3-4 mobs up i think cause it simply got too late, next time we will be faster and ill also try to make some screenshots
last but not least, the much discussed fountain of life!
the first 2 sets of eyes were used up, opening the door to the inner area the first time on nov. 6th.
im sure the godking will fall soon on runnyeye 
49 different fabled/legendary t6 raid loots are on our loot page untill now, and i sure hope SoE keeps us busy on keeping that up to date in the future.
which brings me to a point i just have to come up with here as well: pls SoE, find a way to make items for important. advancing our characters through those is after all the most addictive reason to keep playing this game. atm i probably wouldnt even notice if someone swaped half my gear against stuff from the broker - and that after spending 1067 hours raiding the most nasty beasts your game has to offer.
