Upcoming streams
ESO MFN and NOOB raid are both streaming this week!
NOMADS
Destiny 2 – The guild is in need of people getting to the new max level and working towards the clan goals to get the new banner perks upgraded.
WoW
New to raiding, feel like you need to get your feet wet? Or, just want to raid in a fun and friendly environment? Well, Noob raid starts up again October 6th! The only requirments are that you are at max level, want to have fun, and are willing to die over and over again! Oh, and pick on Kini as she floor tanks. If you are interested, talk to Dankinia for details. You can find her in game, on discord, or even twitter – just make sure you use the hashtag #whereskini!
Running of the Beef 15- Zandalar forever!
We will have Sy on next show to talk about it, but the event is scheduled for October 21st at 2pm Eastern time!
https://aie-guild.org/blog/2018/09/running-of-the-beef-zandalar-forever/
Reminder to use AIE LFO Community to look for officers in game.
Reminder to use raid recruitment channel in discord to find raid teams, now that more people are gearing up 120.
ESO
MFN is still on Friday’s at 9pm Eastern.
The Summerset event to unlock a pet, mount, and house has ended. AIE did it’s part to get the achievement completed. The ESO community hit the goal and we should be receiving an awesome house around October 10th. And they will have plenty of items created for it for people to spend their money on.
On October 8th they will be releasing 4 Summerset/High Elves style furniture packs in the Crown Store for purchase if people want to buy them to start furnishing the Grand Psijic Villa we unlocked. The sets available will be for a parlor, kitchen/dining room, bedroom, and bathroom.
STO
33% of Lifetime sub sale going on now until 10/1 10 am PT (yes tomorrow)
20% off services sale going on now until also 10/1 10 am PT
It is also Bonus XP weekend. Great time to level mains or alts.
Phoenix Prize pack also going on right now, but this goes until 10/5 10am PT. Get a free phoenix prize pack at Drozana Station each day. And you can buy more from the dilithium store. A great way to stock up on gear upgrade tokens that cost no dilithium on use. And technically the cost of the boxes from the dilithium store for the boxes converted over to these upgrade tokens ends up saving you dilithium compared to regular upgrade tokens that use dilithium in the upgrade process. (Yes, Grebog put it into a spreadsheet to check.)
The fleet can always use more personnel and resources for the fleet holdings. We are still making decent progress on the various holdings and every little bit helps.
The Spire is closing in on Tier 2 of research wing, which will unlock one of the better tactical consoles in game for everyone. The operations wing is also closing on on getting its big Tier 2 project unlocked as well. And then once we complete the Tier 2 research, we will also be able to work on the overall spire’s tier 2 project, which will unlock the fleet versions of the 1000 day veteran ships.
SWTOR
This week was Republic side for conquest. We hit the large goal yesterday.
For MFN, we had a prep team start Scum and Villainy an hour before so that as a 16-person team, we could finish it. The operation has 7 bosses. The prep team got the first 5 down. Special thanks for the idea goes out to Zen.
Next week will be the Imperial side for conquest.
Patch 5.9.3 is dropping this week with a new Huttball map and the start of a week of double XP and CXP.
Thank you and welcome all new members to the guild. We have had a ton join in the last month. Just want to say we’re happy to have them!
Keep an eye on the #swtor channel in AIE DIscord for details regarding the next MEGA event which is happening towards the end of October.

GAME NEWS
Mewkow- Moving, lots and lots of unpacking and Destiny 2/WoW when I can
Mkallah- Big fight thursday game, Ravenloft planning…… D&D Friday- learn about the battle between Artraxis and Alistar Bronzebeard- learn about the Shadowfel, find shadow dragon scale that had we taken would have put us in large amounts of danger had we made it into a shield
Mage- no game last session, but tell story about Mills playing the Prince
Tetsemi-
WoW
1) Got exalted with all Horde BfA reputations, still working on 2 Alliance ones to Revered.
2) Horde Raid team got the first three bosses down in Uldir on Normal Mode
3) Completed the Jaina storyline on the Alliance side, including the Siege of Boralus Mythic (15 wipes on the final boss)
Team Positive moment – See # 3 above. Three DPS queued up for Siege, we got a wonderful priest healer who was fighting their addons for dispelling and went through two tanks (I play DPS on the Alliance side) before finally getting the final fight down correctly. The three DPS and the healer were steady, kept discussing what we were doing wrong, without blame, and got ourselves sorted and finally got it! No spoilers, but the final cinematic is definitely a wow moment. Very nice to put a cap on that story line.
Dear Blizzard, please add in a Ferry Master whistle!
Mobile
Lots of Pokemon Go! Got all but one regional (still looking for a Lapris)
Starting playing a new mobile game – Dragalia Lost (think Final Fantasy + Blizzard Game on Mobile)
For Azeroth!
