- Garona's Guise
- Chestguard of the Fallen God
- Mantle of the Wayward Vanquisher
- Mantle of the Wayward Protector
- A Fragment of Val'anyr
I cropped the screenshot above which was submitted to me via an anonymous tipster to hide any glimpse of Yogg-Saron, so we don't spoil the show for those who care about that sort of thing. If you want to see the full screenshot, you can see the full version here, which also contains the tooltips for all of the items I wasn't able to link above.
Congratulations to Vodka, and good luck getting to Algalon!
Update: Those reports are definitely confirmed, Vodka's guild website has additional screenshots.
Update #2: Premonition wasn't far behind.

Vellem Apr 16th 2009 11:58PM
Same. I'd like to see where this UI came from!
Charlie Apr 17th 2009 6:17AM
Agreed, its gorgeous.
zappo Apr 17th 2009 10:57AM
Ninja UI.

Is this the world first 25 man kill? I thought the EU guild only did it on 10man
SarahTheGnome Apr 17th 2009 6:29AM
No, Ensidia cleared 25 man first.
Clbull Apr 17th 2009 8:35AM
Its the US first. Ensidia did the world first on Yogg-Saron almost a day after Ulduar was released.

And yet again, jealousy rears it's ugly head

This is only because Laughing Skull has been too unstable for Deus Vox to get any serious raiding in. The hard mode achievements reveal more than easy mode world firsts.
Pyrostriker Apr 17th 2009 12:26AM
I dont think they are trying to reveal anything... They just want the firsts. I'm sure if you had a chance to get a first kill and a title, you would take it over standing on the first boss for hours trying to do hard mode.
Sen'Jin was down most of the night last night, but im not blaming that on the reason to why Premonition didnt get it....although they did have many of the firsts :p

Agree'd Deus vox on LS would have owned this + Hard Mode
Nick S Apr 17th 2009 3:58AM
Vodka was badly delayed, too - their server was among the last of US servers to come up on the day.
I agree - world firsts on normal mode bosses are more about server availability than they should be, this time around. Hard mode bosses will give us a more accurate picture of who's who.

It's got nothing to do with jealousy. It's fact. Deus Vox historically lands all worthwhile US firsts (usually with a raid of only 22-23). Laughing Skull was not even playable until Thursday and they are still only a few bosses away from clearing.

I was running Ulduar on the same server when they downed him. About 5 minutes of "gratz" in general chat. I, for one, think it's pretty cool to have run with some of them before.

you can be jealous... I am jealous of that chestpiece...
wtb 25man guild to carry my shaman through ulduar.
