Congratulations on another fine week Knights!
You men and women are hanging tough against the large, elite-focused, guilds, and you should be proud of what you have accomplished thus far!
I am sure I will see another strong showing from you all in Week 3, and I hope to see many of you proudly wearing the first end game elite vanity ever awarded by STS!
Best of luck! Thank you for participating and thanks for all the support that you have given me!
Go Knights!

Greetings, Knights.
Week 3 of Tour of Arlor: Nordr and Shuyal has ended. While tallying of points is yet unfinished, I wish to thank all of you who run these difficult elite zones last week. We might have started a little slow, but I am proud to see that we did not we give up. As I have said on Line chat, our gear might be legendary, or at best mythic; you can count the number of arcane pet in our screenshots with the fingers of one hand; at times we finished a map two to five times longer than maxed-gear pros in the contest, making parties hard to come by; some of us dc'd over and over and were forced to redo these punishing maps over and over. But none of these stopped us. You, my knights, humbled me with your tenacity. Respect to you, from the bottom of my heart.
I ran with many of you and I know a lot of us won new achievements and got Valkin and Grave last week. I know we also looted some nice things last week, like Azakauke's archon ring from the Shuyal mobs. Congratulations!
I hope that now we have run these maps over and over, and completed them too, next time a guildie asks for help with Nordr and Shuyal achievements, it won't be hard to get a party started. We have some experienced runners in the house now.
If there are lessons to learn from Week 3, I think they are:
1. The better your build and skill set are, the more efficient and less deadly your runs are. If mages run with their crowd control skills perfectly timed and rotated; if rogues can deal massive damage and support the party with shadow veil; if warriors can keep aggro over the insane mobs (spiders, shadowmancers, pigs, wolves) and heal at the right moment, a run can go easier, faster, safer and you can save, pots and elixirs.
Look at the build guide on the first page of this thread and talk to me in game/line chat/forum/facebook if you need help with build.
2. You can run a map faster if you know how how many mobs you need to kill to spawn boss, and where you can stop killing and start running to boss. But running to boss takes skills and practice and teamwork, or you will end up with half the party unable to join you at boss. Again build is crucial, as well as pet choice.
The upcoming last week of Tour of Arlor will take us to Tindirin and Planar Tombs. We're lucky we have a chance to farm ankhs now from bosses in Arlor. Stock up a lot of ankhs and protection and damage elixirs. Get yourself a stun pet (Kelvin or George).
When the ankh weekend ends we will get a new game client and possibly the love crafting event. Get a much needed break, knights. We will soon be off to the final battle.

Good work this week Knights!
For Week 4 of the tour, I would encourage you to reach across guilds and look to Elite Runners and Enigmatic to fill out parties.
Whenever I was able to log on this weekend, I tried to spend time at the Tavern in Kelys, hoping to find a few of you there. I will continue to do the same for Week 4.
You would be amazed at how efficiently experienced runners can run the Week 4 maps.
Case in point, a new to cap Warrior PM'ed me and asked me to help run all Planar Tombs with him. I joined the PUG he was in, and at the boss, none of the players used a stun pet, so there were the fire cannons everywhere. Two of the PUG players kept dying and restarting, so they were effectively useless in the boss fight. Ultimately, after 20 minutes of trying (and several boss resets) we couldn't finish the map, so I invited this tank to a private party, invited another rogue friend and in just over 30 minutes, our trio cleared all three tombs.
Sometimes, having people in party that know which pets to use, what strategies to employ and have the correct builds will turn difficult maps into an easy ones.
Some of the best strategies I have, I learned from others. Take advantage of this opportunity to collaborate - you will be better runners for the experience!

I would like to commend this guild on your exceptional efforts in the Kali contest also.
These elites can be very difficult sometimes for those who aren't experienced in the techniques that a lot of us old-timers grew up with. I find it heartwarming that your family has the perseverance and determination to push through and succeed. A lot of people would (and did) give up, but the Knights keep on pushing through. Getting that many AP's at once is also such a fun experience.
You have gained my utmost respect, and if Pheonix can offer our experience to answer any questions on techniques or help out with runs, you only have to ask.
You never know what you can do until you tryThere are two ways of doing something: right, and again.
