Recruitment Needs - July 2020
Jul 15, 2020 5:00 AM
As this hare-brained idea of double the loot in a raid chest is going on this summer, Crimson Tempest is running out of raiders to gear up. This has led to some distraught moments for our members:
You should help Pwedge take his mind off of these matters and come apply to us!
We are currently looking for these classes in particular:
- Magician x2
- Bard x2
- Cleric x2
- Paladin
- Druid
If your class wasn't listed, no worries. Other than Necromancer (as well as Shadowknight and Warrior unless you're a stud, geared, veteran player of those two classes), we're open to other classes. Send myself, Zarazc or Risla a PM on our forums, or look for drinal.Galarian, drinal.Galerius, drinal.Risla or drinal.Shreds and send one of them a tell/cross server tell.
Recruitment Needs - May 2020
May 03, 2020 8:45 PM
As summer approaches and more imbeciles head out into the warmer weather without PPE masks or social distancing, there's going to be a second wave of crapola coming, keeping us indoors even longer.
That also means it's as good a time as any to come aboard and apply to Crimson Tempest!
While we are currently seeking most every class (and unless you're the second coming, Warrior and Shadowknight), we are looking for these classes as priority:
- Magician x2
- Paladin
- Bard
- Shaman
- Necro
- Cleric x2
If you are one of these aforementioned, or even if you're not and are not a class closed currently, reach out to us at:
drinal.Galarian, drinal.Galerius, drinal.Risla or drinal.Shreds
or click the link "Recruiting" on the upper-left side of the web page.
Crimson Tempest is an EST based guild that washes their hands frequently, maintains 6' social distancing (even the married folks are when they play EQ at home, though in-game, we're never 6' apart) and are working through completing TBL/TOV achievements on all of these farmed targets. We'd love for you to come and join us in completing these, and gearing each other up for the next expansion!
Great (waxed) Balls of Fire
Apr 24, 2020 12:35 AM
I made another oppsie today!
I forgot to take screenshot of another kill that we got, a week after another kill that I forgot to take screenshots of. This one involved flaming balls flying towards our faces most of the time, a bunch of stupid mobs that die if you sneeze on them (if that was their bane) and running around in circles, while sneezing on things and making sure balls don't fly in our faces. Oh and rooms with colors. It's like a shroom trippin' event I guess.
But Crathsor saved the day with this:
(and no monk weapon like our Velks win last week....and then this week....)
Congrats to every one of the men and women I call guildmates. When the chips are down, and your backs are against the wall, you really learn a great deal about not only who you are, but who you're surrounded by. I have the utmost pleasure to say that I am surrounded by some of the most amazing people I have met in this game over the last twenty years.
I'd really love to add some more like-minded, talented folk to join us. Right now we're open to any class outside of Necromancer (closed), and Warrior/Shadowknight are a case-by-case basis (don't let that discourage you if you are interested in applying - try and see!). We're looking primarily for Magicians, with the next most desired classes being Paladin, Bard and Shaman. If you want to join up with this kick ass crew we have, click the "recruiting" link on the upper left side of our webpage and find out more. You can also send a tell to drinal.Galarian, drinal.Galerius, drinal.Phancy, drinal.Risla, or any member currently online if one of us happens to be away.
Now if you'll excuse me....I need to protect another pair of balls from a waxing....
#EQForumsLiedT3Died

Hi.
We cleared T3 of TOV. This is usually where most guilds post a picture of either the corpses, the phat lewts, or everyone standing together in yeti illusions, like that time we were 2nd serverwide a few years ago that a few unnamed individuals who breathe so heavily from their mouths that they could keep a square mile of NYC oxygen deprived, don't seem to remember.
You'd be expecting that, and that's why you won't see that here.*
In any case, take our words for it, because Goonies never say die!
It's been...quite an expansion release from DayBarkGoFishPawCozid-20 Games. The experiment of replacing flagging with time released tiers yielded both positives and negatives, and changed the dynamics of The Race™. The positives being the fact that it opened up "more" raids for more guilds, without having that one gatekeeper of a raid blocking some guilds from seeing and experiencing the following tier. Many of those raids I really do enjoy, even the ones that are a bit of a slog to endure (Great Divide, Vindicator). The negatives....where do I begin? Unlocking raids midweek at noon, broken aspects to the raids, foregoing whole mechanics without detriment, 25+ minute events, nerfs and buffs to events that didn't need, T3 being delayed a month because of Daylight Savings Time (LUL), T3 being delayed again for four hours because servers went down, T3 being "delayed" AGAIN because servers went down mid-fight for many, and getting a monk 2h in the Velks chest tonight.
(the latter was probably the worst part)
When the dust settled though, only 51 were standing - 50 of us, 1 Velketor....I mean, there were two monks FD as well, but they weren't standing, so they didn't count on that tally. And that gargoyle at zone is was flapping, not standing. Not to mention the dozens of kobold and the ice witch down below....
....SHUT UP.
Congrats to everyone in Crimson Tempest that worked through sever outages, as well as multiple other roadblocks and challenges we've faced throughout the last year. We're looking to make it an even better year in 2021.
You should join in on that! Click the link on the upper left that says "Recruiting" if you're interested in raiding with us! We have all the information laid out there for you to check out. You can contact me (Galarian/Galerius) in-game if you have any questions!
*actually, the truth is I had so many tells going, working on spells and needing to use the restroom, that I forgot to take screenshots. You should probably apply to us then and be our screenshot taker person that's also a Paladin, Bard, Magician or a Shaman.
