Star's Raiders A great night in WvW! Thanks to all of you that came out and supported me. We had some great open field fights against larger numbers and took them down with a heavy blow. We also pushed them off our towers and back to spawn several times...
Late Night WvW - the Few, the Proud, the Mighty! I don't know how many IoJ or AR it would actually take to wipe our group, but I do know how many they were going to use...
It doesn't matter how badly we were outmanned - our skill was much greater than theirs, and it clearly showed on the field...
Great Night in the Silverwastes I was finally able to take some time and join in a Saturday in the Silverwastes and what a Saturday it was! We quickly captured and held all the forts (thank you for your leadership and communication, Lakshmi) against whatever the Mordrem threw at us, including not one but two legendary Mordrem champions! The Executioner and Tormentor were both defeated in short order, giving more than a few people (myself included) the Be All and End All achievement...
L L L L L L stands for Legendary Leader Lakshmie.
She was great !
Silverwastes have many nuances and pitfalls that can give the most ardent adventurer a headache. She guided us through those perils with poise and positive attitude...
Star's Raiders What a great time in WvW today! A special thanks to Aoibheann and Smitty for their Golems on both IoJ and AR borderlands and to Kitty refreshing them before I started up & during the event. We were able to take many Keeps and Towers with our small numbers, squish the enemies, and had a lot of fun in the Borderlands...
TY to those who came along... I much appreciate the calm, the patience, and the effort by the members who came with me to Darkshade Caverns and dealt with one of the toughest VR dungeons as a group even though we were not optimal.
Berkanna, Elizabeth, and Ternie: Thank you! I hope you enjoy seeing the guide in the magazine!
Doing it the right way It was a tough go last night in terms of the overwhelming numbers that AR had.
But Sif kept things well organized, and light. Newcomers and long time returners were fully welcomed with open arms and all questions were answered promptly...
Friday Pre-Reset WvW Campaigns A lot of people ask "Why?" when they see a Friday WvW Event and the outcome of the weekly match is already set. There are a lot of reasons - some of them have to do with the Champ bags, or the heavy loot bags our vanquished enemies leave for us, but the main reason I can think of is simply coming together and kicking butt as a Family...
What a way to start the day I was so very proud of everyone that came out this morning to fight.
First thing we had to do was kick Darkhaven out of our borderland and then keep kicking them out of our fully upgraded garrison...
Ebonheart Map Clearance: Eastmarch I have really been looking forward to the Eastmarch run! I missed the last one and my character finally finished the zone, so I knew that I'd be getting a lot done. I enjoy these map clearing events so much - whether or not they start small, we pick up so many people along the way and just have a great time...
Great event Who knew that a bunch of Rangers could be so powerful and have so much fun wrecking havoc in WvW. Thank you for putting these events together Terafer, besides the Ele event, this was my favorite class of yours that I have attended...
Group Therapy Thanks for another session for those of us that are afraid of heights, afraid of jumping puzzles, afraid of skritt, afraid of portals, afraid of Jay, afraid of that guy with all the muffins, afraid of shinies, afraid of running out of bag space, afraid of waking up under a world boss and wondering how we got there, and afraid of that odd dorito hovering above your head...
World wide wine tasting adventure Thank you all for coming out and running around the world - several times I might add, and no matter what part you showed up for... As we ended up doing the whole thing event about 5 times just to make sure everyone got the full achievement...
Level 8 Tempest Island: How not to die at low level... How not to die at low level? It's fairly easy. First, when the group pulls hold block. You can survive the first attack from an archer this way. Make sure you stay back, but still close to the group...
Star's Raiders I want to thank everyone who came out and supported me in WvW last night. It is because of all of you that I am becoming a better Commander, I could never do it without you and I appreciate all of you so much...
Great event Great event complete with lots of loot, zone completion, and a GSCH tradition of being lead off a cliff to our deaths. Great event Jay, Thanks

Special thanks to Rayne She started the evening run off on the right foot by giving us three pre made omega golems, it was like Christmas morning! We jumped right in the golems and went off to take Bay on the Gates of Madness borderland...
Ebonheart Map Clearance: Shadowfen Ever since I've come back to ESO, I've made a more conscious effort to join in with the various events that happen each week. I have learned that level is often less of a limiting factor than one would think; a good group can get lower-level players through a surprising amount of content...
Late night coffee achievements It wasn't easy, but it was lots of fun. We got the achievements and we got amazing fights :3 With patience, love, care and coffee, Lakshmi guided our group through the hardest achievements and we got them >:3
And coffee!!!
Reset Night Adventures: The Battle of Dreaming Bay Last night was an impressive series of battles, right from the start. But one battle stands out to me in particular. About two and a half hours into the event, my squad was preparing to defend our Bay when most of our troops were called away to Garrison...

Wonderful run :3 Despite some internet hiccups from the server, lag, disconnections and rampant warp, we had a wonderful time taking objectives, defending towers, and having lots of fun leaded by Rayne and Wind :D
Such an awesome group! We defended several towers and snatched victories from the jaws of Anvil Rock and Gate of Madness.
otside BRK and Sejanus This is not a recap. Its what happened another run (please excuse not clear delineation) One day running with Lords of Blackreach (only ran with them once) over six hours we had two or three crowns. The last one was Krazyx...
A picture perfect day That was a really smooth run. Thank you for your patience, I know that it took a while to build up all the siege (omega golems) to use for our main objective, Anvil Rock's fully uggraded Garrison, but that was a sweet, sweet victory...
Succesful event! Thank you to everyone who came out for the event or just made a donation to Fog, every little bit helps. Fog tells me that we did very well and I would like to do a fundraiser once a month to continue growing the guild's influence in anticipation of the "Family Castle"...
My very first Tequatl and Guild Events I've been a part of Gaisioch for several years now, but haven't really been able to participate in Guild Events. Today I was free enough to do so and boy was it fun! I joined the group for Tequatl, which didn't go well the first time...
Wish I could give a token (;.;) I wanted to say thank you to Papo for running the undaunted non vet daily. 2nd time I have been able to run since rejoining the game a few days ago. His instructions are on point. Thank you (^.^)
AVA on Azura's Nice small group evening, even got us our own keep at Drakelowe, was neat to see the Gaiscioch tabards on the NPCs;) Tried to put a pic here but couldn't figure out how.
Great day of WvW We started off this event by cleaning our borderland of the enemy and then went straight for the fully ungraded Garrison on Anvil Rock, which we took, over and over, and over again. Sometimes with Golems, sometimes without...
Battle with the Gravity DragOn Heart racing, sweaty, aching screams of joy, discouraging, success and utter fear resulting in completion after completion. Thanks to everyone for their patience and persistence as we portal bombed the Gravity DragOn!
OK we got this............................................ SPLAT! Imagine a jumping puzzle that's 10x longer than normal. Then put all the jumps hundreds of feet up a cliff. So far, in fact, that you have plenty of time to waypoint while falling. Next sprinkle a few gold coins around, and then jam the whole thing in a huge dark cave...
Mesmer Lemming Fiesta With the combined stressfulish effort of many mesmers we were able to collect most of the golden badges in the Silverwastes! ;P Lots of portals, some experimental rifles, & even a teleportation rifle. It left me a bit worn out but glad...
The Great Gaiscioch Fishing Expedition Today's fishing expedition took me to Bleakrock Isle and to Stonefalls. I've never tried fishing in ESO, and I thought it would be more fun with a group. Before the event, I gathered as much bait as I could; however, I did not anticipate how quickly I would go through it...
Welcome Back Dolmen Festival I've been a part of the Gaiscioch community for a few months now, but I finally participated in my first event today. I was leveling in Stonefalls when there was a call to clear the dolmen (dark anchors) in the area...
Tough match and unexpected issues with the game It is certainly a challenge out there in WvW this week. Some of it is that we are fighting in tier 5 (yay for us), but I know that the frustration of the constant issues with the game since the latest patch and all the new builds is starting to take its toll...
Dive Master! We got together a little group to jump, and re-jump, and then jump again for the Not So Secret diving goggles in Gendarran Fields. Though only two got the achievement (I was just porting) the other two kept trying till it was time to log off for the night - however they did manage to get the chest hidden in the water...
Smitty's Sabres 3/17 - Blah... Well, all things considered we didn't do half bad! It was certainly an interesting night as we faced resistance from multiple fronts, keeping us on our toes the entire night. Both CD and IoJ decided to tag team us the whole night and force us to play home defense for most of the evening...
Stonefalls Conquerors As we swept across the rugged terrain housing the Crows Court, no foes could resist the sudden influx of twirling blades, fire-spitting staves, air-splitting arrows and all around unstoppable force that was the Gaiscioch Group that night...
I ran as long as I could and I will try to stay later next week...
That was some remarkable fighting last night by one & all when we were hit hard by both Crystal Desert and Isle of Janthir on our home borderland. We were able held our own in any equal fight and we even had some wonderful open field fighting as well as beautifully defending the keeps and towers against them...
Cyrodill Skyshards Over a period of 6 hours ran multiple people thru EP and AD skyshards and POI's. Took a total of 2 and a 1/2 times thru before fatigue set in and had to call the marathon.
Though I came in late You all did an amazing job out in WvW on reset night against an unexpected enemy.
When I heard of this week's match up I knew that there would be some epic fighting and I was proved right when I popped out to have a look (I even finished my dailies)...
Skill Point Hunters - Practice run Thank you for coming out for a last minute practice run in the starter zones across the map for skill points.
I am glad we had a small group for this one. With having to run to open some maps there was minimal time loss and even with the few events we stopped for along the way (we just couldn't resist doing SB when it spawned), we were able to start and finish this event in a little less than 2 hours - which is the timing I was looking for...
