The Broken Mirror
Through The Looking Glass
Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who’s the fairest of them all? “Anashti Sul,” the mirror said, but she turned out to be undead. Therefore we did like pallies do, and slayed the witch a time or two. Now when the achievements are all done, we’ll have sweet augs for everyone, to boost our heals and DPS, ensuring that we’ll stay the best. Farm gear up quick, that’s what we’ll do: new bosses in a month or two!

The Darkened Sea
SuperCalixfragulisticepialidtious
Most of us have long since given up on unraveling the incomprehensible threads of Everquest lore. Lanys made yet another appearance in The Darkened Sea, this time in cooperation with “The Combine,” some sort of Neo-Roman Imperial imitators.
We here at Resolute had a bit of a Combine in store for them as well. Welcoming an influx of very talented new raiders from Arcane Ascensions, we rode roughshod through Arx Mentis, one-shotting every raid encounter presented against us. Perhaps we’re the Neo-Visigoths in this analogy. Nonetheless, all their frustratingly similar, Latin-named weapons now rest in our hands, ready to cut down our pixelated enemies as we forge onward into the Broken Mirror!

Rain of Fear
90% Rez to Cazic-Thule
It took us about two weeks to complete the expansion after the devs unlocked T3/4 for the server. Well done team!
Rain of Fear brought many cool new features to the game including:
-Shawl 3.0
-Fun class weapons
-Agro Meter
-Incredible augs
-Huge gear mudflation jump (where T1 > T4 from last expac)
-Shards Landing – a central zone with ports to all of the expac zones, plus all of the important merchant npc’s in one easy to reach location.
It also seems that EQ re-birthed its self with how we earn the xp for lvls and aa’s. This new renaissance is a paradigm shift from the pure xp grind that EQ is known for and more towards actual quests/collections that give amazing xp/aa as rewards.
On a side note, this expac seems to have polarized players. They either love it or hate it. We have lost some good players, but we also picked up a bunch of new incredible players from EoE, which has helped pushed Resolute to even greater heights. Raiding with a waitlist is a good thing!

Veil of Alaris
The Triunity Tests our Sanity
Welcome to the era of raid currency, open zones from the start, new Guild halls, needing small groups just to take down group named and more difficult raid mechanics. Some would consider this modern EQ. The fifth Renaissance in many ways.
The devs responsible for designing the raids this expansion can go straight to hell. These were some of the hardest raid fights we have ever faced, most requiring extensive personal responsibility. We are now getting to the eras where not all the raid info is easily found online. Even so, Resolute being Resolute, beat the expansion within a month, maintaining our spouse friendly schedule of three set raid nights a week.
Well done team! A victory well earned. Looking forward to RoF!
House of Thule
Farewell to Morell
In true Resolute dps heavy fashion, we smashed through HoT in about a month, earning the number 2 spot on the server (not that it mattered to us). All while maintaining our spouse friendly schedule. Well done team!
HoT has been an amazing expac for XP and easily attainable 1400hp group gear. Great for catching up alts or long lost mains. Not to mention housing and trophies.
Officer Aethelred, our levitationally challenged pally wrote a short poem summarizing this expac:
Morell Thule no longer rules, we always thought he was a tool. We stomped him with mad DPS, to prove that we are still the best. Terris his sister and cazic his dad, also got it pretty bad. Their nightmare world was pretty neat, but nothing that we couldn’t beat. Who plucked their lineage by the root? The lovely folks in Resolute! And now we farm til VOA, reaping more loot by the day. To pass the time for xp’s sake, I guess I’ll wreck rotdogs and snakes.
Its a fine poem Aethel, but it still does not quite explain how flash works.
Want in on some of this awesome sauce?
Recruitment is now open for most classes. Priest APP’s can get a 75 DKP bonus. Monk class is closed forever. Check our app link for more details:

Underfoot
The First Creation Castration
Underfoot has by far been the most challenging expansion we have faced, but it has also been the most rewarding!
The devs enabled double loot and flags which allowed us to clear all of Underfoot in a little over a month.
This expansion brought many new cool toys/functionality to the table, one of them being the extended target window. EQ has in many ways entered its second renaissance.
This is an amazing EQ victory. Well done team!
Seeds of Destruction
Brekt Gets Rekt!
Resolute steamrolls through another TLP expansion!
We completed SoD in about 2.5 weeks, sticking to our normal spouse friendly schedule.
SoD had been a loot pinata! With the plethora of standard raids, hard modes and OMM, we have been swimming in loot.
With the addition of amazing group loot for alts, OMM missions/raids and mercenary’s, EQ has in many ways has entered its second renaissance.
While its sad to see monks starting to fall behind in DPS, its been amazing to watch Berserkers starting to break through to the next level, getting peaks and foreshadows of true ultra instinct.
The guild is stronger than it has ever been, and we all look forward to continued success in Underfoot.
Well done Team!
Secrets of Faydwer
The Sleeper Sleeps Again
Resolute is not caught sleeping; Kerafyrm goes down for a dirt nap!
With a full 54 man raid we entered Cyrstallos, and in true Resolute fashion, laid waste to every encounter with zero wipes. We ended up completing this expac in about 3.5 weeks, sticking to our normal spouse friendly schedule.
The guild is stronger than it has ever been, and we all look forward to continued success in SoD.
Well done Team!
The Buried Sea
Resolute Sets the Sun on Fire
Resolute completes The Buried Sea in four days!
Without skipping a beat the guild came together and knocked out the required faction/quests to enter Solteris. Resolute conquered Solteris on one raid night and finally (maybe?) put Mayong out of his misery.
The Serpent's Spine
The Fall of Dragons and Giants
Resolute shatters The Serpent’s Spine in 9 days!
After a collective effort to achieve level 75 and grind faction, Resolute conquered both Ashengate and Frostcrypt, putting an end to the reign of Lethar the Black Dragon and Beltron the Shade King.
Depths of Darkhollow
Mayong Mistmoore reigns no more
Mayong Mistmoore fell to Resolute. Depths of Darkhollow is now complete and was actually a really fun expansion!
Dragons of Norrath
Vishimtar the Fallen dropped!
Resolute conquers the Dragons of Norrath expansion in just two days!
Resolute has vanquished Vishimtar the Fallen on the second day of the launch of Dragons of Norrath (1st raid day for Resolute). Also dead this evening were Yar`Lir, Kessdonna, and Rikkukin.
Time to farm missions while we wait for a more significant expansion (Depths of Dark Hollow).

Omens of War
Overlord Overthrown
In just a little over 4 days, Resolute has overthrown the head honcho of the Citadel of Anguish, Overlord Mata Muram, to complete the Omens of War expansion.
Classic took us almost all era to complete. Kunark 29 days, Velious 24 days, Luclin 18 days, PoP 16 days, GoD 8 days and now OoW in 4… It’s honestly bittersweet in a nostalgic kind of way. The days of having to invest large amounts of time to farm levels, gear and keys/flags (thankful for this one) appear to be over and finishing expansions in short order is the new norm. There’s something to be said about having to grind it out; the accomplishments feel more rewarding maybe? So be it! Resolute will do its share of loot farming in Anguish as we await Dragons of Norrath in December.
With that being said, we were scheduled to do Anguish on Tuesday but after some solid grinding of levels and a ton of cooperation helping each other get our signets, we were ready ahead of schedule so we finished our last two remaining MPG raid trials on Sunday and decided to venture into Anguish to see how far we could get. Our force of 48 strong moved in, dispatching boss after boss and suddenly we realized we were at the end and only OMM was left… Excitement (and nerves) overcame our raid force as we saw what was next… We hadn’t expected to get this far this soon, nor did we invest any time learning these encounters on Test prior to expansion launch so we thought we would learn by doing and had allocated 3 hours of potential wipes to get it done.
We wiped on our very first attempt, made some adjustments and then proceeded to take OMM to 20% to trigger phase two. We worked our way back and our lack of experience with the encounter led to us clicking up and not immediately engaging OMM so the encounter reset and our hearts broke has we watched him go from 20% life back up to 100%… UGH!!! We reset and refocused ourselves and did the event again, got it to phase two and then worked our way back. This time, upon clicking up we engaged immediately and shortly thereafter we beat the encounter. That win felt like a real accomplishment. It’s been a while since an end-game boss made us feel that way.

Gates of Discord
Tunat’Muram Defeated
Just what the doctor ordered, the release of a new expansion, Gates of Discord and its glorious, fresh content! Resolute did its thing and was strong out of the Gates on raid days, taking just 1 week to beat the entire expansion.
After some early challenges with an NPC that ate our turn-in items after Ikkin3 and some bad luck on our first ZM’TZ raid, having successfully killed High Priest meant we were going to have Tacvi access even though ZM’TZ wasn’t defeated initially. Our first Tacvi raid resulted in a very dead Tunat after he was zerged to death with Vet Rewards, that didn’t make for a very good screenshot, so pictured above is our very next kill where no Jesters or Steadfast Servants were used – just good ol’ fashioned Resolute beatdown.
What a BIC!
The days of wasting away leveling up the LDoN charm are thankfully replaced with days of wasting away questing for BIC (Breakdown in Communications). Congratulations are in order to Zanadar for completing Resolute’s very first BIC on 7/27/17. The reward is an aug that will last several expansions and anybody… ANYBODY… with bag space and time (but mostly bag space), can complete it.
Server First 65 Berserker!
Rovell and crew were counting down the days to GoD launch to execute a plan that had been in the works for weeks. The challenge? How to level 1-65 in the least amount of time and become Phinigel’s very first level 65 Berserker. The answer? A lot of research, preparation were needed. Upon launch, solid execution and help from up to fifteen different people over time helped make this goal become a reality!
End result? 1-65 in 9 hours and 57 minutes.
The leveling path this crazy crew took was: Warrens -> Mistmoore -> Dalnir -> City of Mist -> Droga. Below, a chart that shows how much time was spent in each 5 level increment. For example, it took 2 minutes to hit level 5. Then 4 minutes to go from level 5 to level 10. An interesting observation is that it took more time to get from 10 to 15 than it did from 45 to 50… Hint: Move on from Warrens sooner next time!
As you can imagine, there were many congratulations in order, and some flaming. For the record, yes all of his skills were quickly maxed. Yes Resolute carried the Zerker on its first raids on Thursday, but after that it was a non-issue as Rovell geared up quickly.
Until next time!
