Attention girl gamers! You’re invited!

This Sunday, our amazon army will descend into the cold embrace of Grenth as we invade the Underworld.

Normally, our international gathering of girl gamers would be precluded from choosing this destination for our weekly expedition, but thanks to the powerful new magic of Passage Scrolls, our multi-region teams will be able to work together in the noble cause of restoring the monuments of Grenth, which have been overrun by the foul minions of Dhuum. Oh, and on a side note, gathering loot like Eternal Shields, Storm Bows, and Globs of Ectoplasm.

To participate, your character needs to be ascended or equivalent. For Tyrian born characters, that means having completed the three missions and final challenge in the Crystal Desert. Canthan born characters will need to be Weh no Su. Elonian born characters need to have completed the quest Hunted! Tyrians can achieve ascension by becoming Weh no Su in Cantha, and Canthans can do the same by completing the ascension trials in the Crystal Desert, and Elonians may ascend by either path as well. Only Elonians can achieve the benefits of ascension via the Hunted! quest.

Bring whichever character you have that is qualified to enter the Realms of the Gods, we’ll form teams from what’s available, any profession is welcome. We’ll try to make sure that teams go in with enough healing and damage.

We’ll gather this Sunday, June 10th, in our usual meeting place, The Temple of the Ages, International District 1 (by the statue of Dwayna) and at our regular meeting time, 1:00 PM Eastern Time (10:00 AM Pacific, 5:00 PM GMT, 6:00 PM BST). Conveniently, ToA is the entry point for the Realms of the Gods in Tyria, so we’ll enter UW from there.

Female players only, please. (Females playing male characters are welcome.) Of course there’s no way for us to check, but please respect the women who wish to gather for this event to play with other female gamers.

Ok, this is just the bee’s knees. You know how people say on achat “Does anybody need <mission> bonus?” and people don’t know, have to switch chars to check or whatever?

I got frustrated by that last night (about myself, I couldn’t remember where all my chars were in Nightfall) and did a google search to see if anybody had done something cool to address the problem. And somebody had.

Check out Rohars Roughnecks’ Character Progress Tracker.

This tool is really easy to use and fits what I was looking for exactly. You create a tracker for each of your chars, and then you fill out that character’s accomplishments. Then, you can view the “My Missions” page to find out at a glance which character needs to complete a mission or bonus.

The tool tracks all three campaigns in both Normal & Hard Mode, as well as tracking Vanquisher for the explorables in all three campaigns. You can view the Missions page in both text mode and a cool looking Shield Mode (which shows the swords like the maps in the game) and you can even save the results as an XML spreadsheet. Conveniently (and cleverly) the mission names on the list are links to the Wiki page about the mission, so you can get that last minute Master’s strategy once you’ve figured out which character you’re bringing to the mission.

For the statistics geeks amongst you (raises hand) there’s a Tracker Stats page that shows what percentage of the characters being tracked by the tool (in total for the site) have completed each goal.

It’s easy to set up and update, and solves a complex problem very neatly. Enjoy!

The Girl Power alliance is pleased to welcome the Eternal Dreamers guild to our fold.

Thanks to Ari for bringing us together. More info will be posted later, but we wanted to say welcome to the alliance.

This Sunday, our amazon army will descend upon Echovald Forest, and stand with the Kurzicks defending the Tree Singers at Eternal Grove .

We will be doing the mission for Master’s Reward. Bring whichever character you want, we’ll form teams from what’s available, any profession is welcome. We’ll try to make sure that teams go in with enough healing and damage.

We’ll gather this Sunday, May 20th, in our usual meeting place, The Temple of the Ages, International District 1 (by the statue of Dwayna) and at our regular meeting time, 1:00 PM Eastern Time (10:00 AM Pacific, 5:00 PM GMT, 6:00PM BST). We’ll form teams there and then map travel to Eternal Grove.

This Sunday, our vengeful valkyries will descend upon the Jade Sea, and march with the Luxons across the frozen waters from Gyala Hatchery to the Leviathan Pits.

While it’s true that this event’s sponsoring guild, Girl Power, leads a Kurzick alliance, we cannot stand idly by and condone the senseless killing of cute little baby turtles! Therefore, we will join Argo and his Turtle Clan as they defend the young ones along the path to their southern stronghold.

We will be doing the mission for Master’s Reward, using the “run around the back and clear the path first” method to increase our odds of protecting all five young turtles. Bring whichever character you want, we’ll form teams from what’s available, any profession is welcome. We’ll try to make sure that teams go in with enough healing and damage.

We’ll gather this Sunday, May 6th, in our usual meeting place, The Temple of the Ages, International District 1 (by the statue of Dwayna) and at our regular meeting time, 1:00 PM Eastern Time (10:00 AM Pacific, 5:00 PM GMT, 6:00PM BST). We’ll form teams there and then map travel to Gyala Hatchery.

I had a really busy week last week and didn’t get around to making my normal announcement for Girl Power Hour. However, I was very pleased that our policy of meeting in the same place and time every week paid off, and enough girls for two full teams showed up in ToA ID1 at the appointed time, and we went off into Majesty’s Rest and slew the undead dragon menace, Rotscale.

Thanks to all the girls who showed up even though there was no announcement!

Attention girl gamers! You’re invited!

This Sunday, our amazon army will cleanse the area around our sacred Temple, by vanquishing The Black Curtain in the newly available Hard Mode.

Clearing the area will be progress towards the new Vanquisher title track. Also, there are 6-7 bosses in the area (depending on if we have somebody with the quest The False Gods active in the party) and each boss is an opportunity for the new Elite Tomes to drop.

Please make sure that you have unlocked Prophecies Hard Mode on your account by logging in once with a character who has completed Hell’s Precipice. Once it’s unlocked, any level 20 character on your account can participate as long as they can get to the Temple of Ages. Bring whichever character you want, we’ll form teams from what’s available, any profession is welcome. We’ll try to make sure that teams go in with enough healing and damage.

We’ll gather this Sunday, April 22nd, in our usual meeting place, The Temple of the Ages, International District 1 (by the statue of Dwayna) and at our regular meeting time, 1:00 PM Eastern Time (10:00 AM Pacific, 5:00 PM GMT, 6:00PM BST). The Black Curtain is right outside the door.

Female players only, please. (Females playing male characters are welcome.) Of course there’s no way for us to check, but please respect the women who wish to gather for this event to play with other female gamers.

This Sunday, our vengeful valkyries will descend upon the crowded streets of the Canthan supercity, Kaineng, and aid our intrepid allies Mhenlo and Master Togo in fending off the hordes of Afflicted afflicting Vizunah Square.

This mission will allow two teams of women to enter the mission together, which we’ll do by having a team in V Square Local and a team in V Square Foreign and executing a “button spike” to ensure that we end up with each other in the mission.

Please make sure that you have the outposts mapped before we gather. Non-Canthans can map V Square Local by completing the Minister Cho’s Estate and Zen Diajun low level missions and then joining a party doing the second part of the quest Mayhem in the Market (look for advertisements in the Marketplace, and ensure that the Canthan with the quest is the party leader). Canthans wanting to map V Square Foreign need to have completed the Nahpui Quarter mission, after which the gates will be open for you to walk in from Bukdek Byway.

We’ll be gunning for the Master’s reward, so this isn’t a good time to play cartographer. Bring whichever character you want, we’ll form teams from what’s available, any profession is welcome. We’ll try to make sure that teams go in with enough healing and damage.

We’ll gather this Sunday, April 15th, in our usual meeting place, The Temple of the Ages, International District 1 (by the statue of Dwayna) and at our regular meeting time, 1:00 PM Eastern Time (10:00 AM Pacific, 5:00 PM GMT, 6:00PM BST). We’ll form teams there, then map travel to Vizunah Square.

This Sunday, our amazon army will venture into the seldom-seen icy wastes of Dreadnaught’s Drift, where we will cleanse of it evil monsters and make the way safe for travellers. We will purify Dwayna’s statue by defeating the fearsome wurm Maw, The Mountain Heart, which infests Her grounds.

We will enter Dreadnaught’s Drift from the south, via Snake Dance, which we will enter from Grenth’s Footprint since Deldrimor War Camp is the nearest outpost to our goal. Please fight or get a run to War Camp prior to the event. Runs are usually available in Camp Rankor.

This will be a good opportunity for cartographers to explore a difficult region. It’s also a prime opportunity to capture one of the more difficult to obtain Tyrian elites, Maw’s Feast of Corruption.

Bring whichever character you want, we’ll form teams from what’s available, any profession is welcome. We’ll try to make sure that teams go in with enough healing and damage.

We’ll gather this Sunday, April 7th, in our usual meeting place, The Temple of the Ages, International District 1 (by the statue of Dwayna) and at our regular meeting time, 1:00 PM Eastern Time (10:00 AM Pacific, 5:00 PM GMT, 6:00PM BST).

This Sunday, our vengeful valkyries will shatter the cold, jade hearts of the Mursaat, blacken the White Mantle, turn the tide of the dwarven civil war, and avenge Prince Rurik as we retake Thunderhead Keep.

It doesn’t matter how you get your character to Thunderhead Keep, either via the mission path or getting run there. What does matter is that your armor be infused, or the Mursaat’s Spectral Agony will eat you alive. Please make sure you’ve taken care of this ahead of the event – and remember armor infusion is per piece of armor, not per character, so if you’ve gotten pretty new armor from another campaign for your old Prophecies character, it has to be infused if you’re going to be taking on Mursaat. The fastest way to get this done is to get an infuse run at Iron Mines.

We will be doing the bonus, it’s much more fun that way. The mopping up after retaking the keep is a good opportunity for cartographers to explore, as well. Bring whichever character you want, we’ll form teams from what’s available, any profession is welcome. We’ll try to make sure that teams go in with enough healing and damage.

We’ll gather this Sunday, April 1st, in our usual meeting place, The Temple of the Ages, International District 1 (by the statue of Dwayna) and at our regular meeting time, 1:00 PM Eastern Time (10:00 AM Pacific, 5:00 PM GMT, 6:00PM BST). We’ll form teams there, then map travel to THK.
