Nomads
Destiny 2 – Festival of the Lost is underway. Enjoy Destiny’s take on the season by donning masks, and going on a bit of a spooky hunt with Amanda Holliday leading the way as you explore the Haunted Forest. The Tower is decorated in honor of those lost, and the Eververse loot season has been flavored to match. The Clan is currently at level 3 after our current efforts, but still has a few levels to go if we want to get maxed out at level 6. Hawthorne is who you want to talk to if you wish to contribute to the clan leveling, and definitely if you are planning on running content with fellow clan members.
WoW
The new raid bank pilot program. https://aie-guild.org/blog/2018/10/aie-raid-teams-and-the-guild-vault/
Running of the Beef was a success! https://www.twitch.tv/videos/325695727
And the events committee is looking for ideas for guild event in january. it can be a new event, old event, something based on the Blizzard/WoW calendar, whatever. Please submit the ideas to Syreyne.
Lots of new raid kills, including full normal clear on DoA for a Libertas guild achievement, and full clear of Uldir LFR from Noob Raid, as well as several heroic level boss kills by other teams.
SWTOR
MFN is on the imp side, we’ll do Halloween music in plug.dj as well as Karraga’s palace and maybe begin Scum and Villainy if we have time left.

GW2
The Mad King Thorn Halloween event continues until the 9th. Thanks to Disturbed Angel for running MFN while Dejara was off on vacation.
FFXIV
Goblin is still a preferred server, so the road to 60 buff is still up. 3x all XP, all activities, all jobs and classes to level 60. 70 is the current cap as a reminder.
