Welcome to your new guild site! This post is meant to introduce you to some of the features and customization options you have on this site. You can add new posts using the "Add a Post" button at the top of the page. If you are a guild administrator, you can delete this post from your Control Panel.
Site Features
To help you get started, here are just some of the features that you should make sure to try out. You can enable each of these features from your Control Panel.
- Guild Recruitment is an extremely useful tool for advertising to visitors that you are looking for new members. In addition, if you enable recruitment, your guild will appear in the WowStead Guild Recruitment Tool, where users can easily find information about your recruiting needs.
- To enable recruitment, first make sure the the 'Guild Recruitment' module is enabled from the General Settings page of the Control Panel. After enabling the module, go to the Recruitment page of the Control Panel. You'll find this link in the 'Site Features' section. From this page simply check the 'Currently Recruiting' checkbox and click the 'Save' button.
- To enable the calendar, first make sure the module is enabled from the General Settings page of the Control Panel. Then go to the Calendar page of the Control Panel.
- On this page, you can create new calendar events by selecting the 'New Events' button at the top of the page. You can also sync your guild calendar with a character's in-game calendar by using the WowArmory's calendar feed tool. To do so, simply follow the instructions below the calendar.
- Wowstead allows you to easily download commonly used addons directly from your guild site! To enable this, make sure the module from the General Settings page of the Control Panel. Then go to the Addons page of the Control Panel.
- WowStead's progression tool allows site visitors to see your guild's progress in an easily summarized fashion.
Customizing Your Site
Even though Wowstead requires very little initial setup, you are still given a number of powerful tools to personalize and customize your guild site.
Wowstead Content Management System (CMS)
The Wowstead CMS is an incredibly powerful tool that lets you create pages, posts, FAQs, galleries and other content for your site.
You can access the CMS by going to the control panel and accessing the control pages under "News & Media".
Layout, Theme & Widget Placement
- You can easily change your site's layout, theme and widget placement by going to the Customize Site page of the Control Page in the 'Site Configuration' section.
Guild Ranks
To rename your guild ranks, simply go to the Ranks & Permissions page of the control panel, inh the 'Guild Management' section.
- Wowstead can detect the number of active ranks in your guild. The ranks are defaulted to Guild Master (Rank 0) and Rank 1 through Rank 9 - where Rank 1 is the highest and Rank 9 is the lowest. You can determine what site permissions a rank has using the Manage Permissions button to the right of a given rank. Users will be automatically granted site permissions based on the in-game rank of their character.
- You can create custom ranks using the "Create New Role" button in the upper right of the Ranks & Permissions control page. Custom ranks can be used to assign privilege to guild members in addition to their default guild rank permissions.
Site Navigation
- You can edit your site's navigation menu by going to the Navigation page of the Control Panel, in the 'Site Configuration' section. Here, you can create and edit navigation links, or restrict them to certain guild ranks and create new links.

After a number of very painful < 5% wipes and a heartbreaking ~60k one last reset, Anub'arak heroic is finally dead. Boo to all the naysayers who insisted this is impossible with one offtank, and /spit on the GODDAMN MIGRATORS?? who made Kazzak so laggy last few weds / thursdays; it's been one hell of a bother getting this done with the server being a nuisance and our only death knight having his terribad basketball practices at all the worst times.
Big thanks to everyone who didn't go to Uni and generally didn't fail too much; let's hope Icecrown will be less terrible than ToC had been. -
With Halloween approaching, Archaic has completed his brand-new, definitive hit I'm on a Broom. A teaser sample is available below, and the guild members may enjoy the privilege of checking out full lyrics in the private section of the forums. This amazing tune is expected to be available Nov, 01 - contact Archaic himself or his PR manager Femtoasters for ordering information!
I'm on a broom motherfucker lookin down at you
Straight soarin on a broom up here in the blue
Bustin mach five, wind whippin as I zoom
You can't stop me motherfucker cause I'm on a broom
I'm ridin on a broomstick, doin loops and shit
I'm dropping pumpkins, lettin e'rybody get hit
But this ain't heaven, this is real as it gets
I'm on a broom motherfucker, don't you ever forget
^
Archaic pimpin' before takin' off on trippin' on his broom. -
No pretty pics cus the place sucks and I've had enough looking at that dull arena in raids, don't want that on our amazing homepage as well. Anyway 10m hardmodes all dead, Beasts & Jaraxuss & Champs with an amazing meleetrain+lock setup deaded as well, maybe we're not as terrible and hopeless as I thought we were - time will tell.
As usual, we're recruiting pretty much everything, preferably people who won't suddenly and unexpectedly have to go to universities forever (fu uknowwhour). Especially interested in a Paladin / DK / Warlock / Priest / Druid / Shaman, might as well start listing clasess we're not as much interested in instead, I guess. Oh well! -
4 hours of wiping to frost bombs and some new drakes for us. I'd say it wasn't worth it, but not everyone here has a furious frostwyrm yet so I guess I can see why others would want it dead!
(Rest of the guild didn't have Iron Dwarf: Medium Rare complete yet - hardest achievement ever!)
PS still looking for a priest / druid / dk -
It's been a long and bumpy ride through the summer heat and laziness; we've gone through plenty of failing trials, casualing veterans, missing members, offline fragments and even more offline rogues. We've gone from having 6 DKs in a raid to barely finding one, we've gone from 22-manning IC hardmode to wiping on Razorscale; cancelled raids and terrible loot, green geared rerollers getting 5/5 T8 in a week, all sorts of terrible and random things - then we found a few new recruits and voila, things are finally dying as they should have a month or two ago. Better late than never, 'n all that.
On the subject of recruitment, we're mostly full but we are [b]very[/b] interested in a [b]Holy / Disc Priest[/b] and possibly a Deathknight or Warrior able to both tank & dps. Other classes are welcome to apply, but be ready to watch your application torn apart and picked on in every possible way. -

Current Ulduar25 progress:
- FL Orbit-uary
- XT Heartbreaker
- IC: Steelbreaker Last
- Hodir: Rare Cache
- Thorim: Sif Present
- Freya+2 Elders
- Vezax+ Animus
- Yogg+3 Watchers
Current Ulduar10 progress:
- 3x GotUR complete
- Algalon 38%
Since summer is lame and we don't share some of our members idea to not play actively indefinitely, we're looking for 4-5 extra players for our raids. These are 'full time' spots, there's no backups and you won't be ditched if someone decides to 'come back'. Core of the guild has been playing together since Karazhan days, having cleared Sunwell pre-WLK (5/6 prenerf), and we're certainly staying together for a while longer, be it the next xpack or some new game or whatever.
We have 4 main 25man raids/week, of which everyone is expect to attend majority. 10mans are done on offdays/offhours, and we also run a highly successful alt/pug Ulduar25 raid on Fridays - with all but Yogg down there. Our alts also have rusted drakes, why not.
Class-wise we're interested in pretty much anything, as long as you're an amazing player we can definitely fit you in; although most of our openings are for DPS and perhaps a single healer spot; we'd expect tanks / healers to at least be able to play a damage dealing offspec. See our forums for more details, or contact Talmie/Stephie/Vitrie in game if you have any questions.

Slow boring week with lots of afkness and birthdays and other useless "irl" (lol) activities, nonetheless we managed to smack up Thorim's bitchy wifey - and lost our illusion to ever get decent drops from the dump they call Ulduar. We also found out that mr. Helldemon likes them lightning charges, lol. We didn't really plan to raid on Sunday but went and killed Freya+2 anyway just for the kicks, didn't seem all that hard and it looked like people finally understood what does "DONT NUKE THE FUCKING LASHERS WITH A EARTHQUAKE INCOMING" means. Big woohoo, I guess. No screenshots cus we suck at that.
Won't bother mentioning recruitment since nobody ever applies, anyway.
