Ever wonder where the hell the dragons are? What the hell we mean by Go Red! Or Go Blue! Etc?
As long as you know what the KILL KILL KILL order means then you're good. I found this photo at www.xboxachievements.com (this map was updated by our very own Onyxx to add the names of the dragons) and it's perfectamundo! It shows you where each dragon is on the stronghold map. 
**THIS IS EVERY SATURDAY AND SUNDAY AT 1 PM PACIFIC TIME ZONE**
We run for one hour and then do a prize vault drawing for those who participated in the event. {The way we choose winners for that changes each week so do us all a favor and just read the guild chat. 
Thanks.}
Who are the dragons?
Blue - Chrysos The Vain (a.k.a. the asshole dragon)
Red - Katatheo The Proud (the easy one)
Green - Oxuno The Treacherous (a.k.a. Captain Halitosis)
Black - Ekdos The Cruel (Memigen's pet)
Potion Up!
Paco reminds us at almost every fight to Potion Up! We have Potions of Dragon Slaying as well as Scrolls of Protection from Dragons available by request and to pass out at Dragonflight. They last for 20 minutes each. Thanks to a great donation from a guildie we have plenty to share.
Plan of Attack
This is the standard pan of attack. If anything changes it will be announced in guild chat or group chat sometimes if it is a group only change.
We start at blue. This is where everyone meets and we build groups. We get the dragon down to about 5% and then we run to the next announced dragon. On standard runs this is red. Wondering how you determine what percentage the dragon's health is at? Look at the top right hand corner of your screen. It tells you the dragon name and health percentage.
We DO NOT KILL any of the dragons until it is announced. This is because once a dragon dies, all of the others flea within one minute. 1) This allows us to coordinate the deaths so that we can kill all dragons anticipated within the allotted timeframe. 2) This gives us an additional minute to kill any remaining dragons who may be giving us a particularly hard time. The kill order should be announced by group leaders, officers or guild leaders to avoid any confusion in the plan of attack. The same goes for dragonflight orders. Please allow us to do the announcements so that we can avoid confusion.
We like to wait until about 30 seconds remaining in the event to announce the kill order. Please back off of any dragon when it reaches about 2% or whatever percentage is designated for your group.
OUCH! That hurt!
Injuries happen. If you don't have VIP rank 7 then you're going to die and it's going to hurt. We have and provide Injury Kits if you need them. They're also available at the merchant and in the vault.
Dragon Specifics
Blue dragon is an asshole. We have tried everything to cheer him up, however nothing works. We have called him pet names, gave him a collar (he ate the damn thing) and even scratched his underbelly to no avail. There is NO cheering him up. It's just his personality. He has area attacks and lightning bolts to throw your way. While we don't recommend attempting a game of catch, feel free. Many times the dragon will mark someone with a lightning bolt. When they die it creates a tsunami of death. If you are near them YOU WILL DIE. It is permissible to run from this person.
Red dragon is the "easy " dragon. It is the fire dragon. There will be big red circles everywhere. They do not give you buffs as many will tell you. They will kill you.... no... actually... yeah. They buff you. It builds character. Stand in the circles.
Green Dragon has pretty bad gas and some major halitosis. He is very ashamed of this and the issues create damage over time. We recommend having a DC, Healadin and/or Tank when you go there to visit. He too does not like pet names, collars or belly rubs. We have tried time and time again. Dragons are not pets.
Black Dragon is a special flower. It is Memigen's pet and will be adored or feared. Your choice. Fear is much more amusing. For this dragon please only fight it if you are a RANGED FIGHTER. Scourge Warlock, Hunter Ranger with long distance attacks, etc. Otherwise you die a lot, piss off Memigen and create tons of wraiths. Those wraiths then chase us for 20 seconds each and kill others almost instantaneously. Just say no. Ranged fighters only... please. [See? I have manners too.]
P.E.T.D.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Dragons. Protestors. Sit ins. They think they're part of a "movement". You will see them sitting on their ass at the dragon trying to protest the fights. It is permitted to fight around them and maybe kill a few for funsies. Sometimes Mem joins in for shits and giggles. She will tell you how negatively you are impacting the Stronghold with your murderous ways. Do not taunt her. She will slay YOU.
Okay.... so maybe Mem is the ONLY member and does this to annoy you. Pfft. Whatever.
Dragon Fangs, Strongboxes of the Dragonflight and Seals, Oh my!
With each Dragonflight you will gain Seals of the Elements as well as Dragon Fangs and Strongboxes of the Dragonflight. Seals max out at 1200 so spend them when you're close to capping out so that you don't lose any. Gear is gear and gear is AD and AD is keys. Keys are amazeballs and you are always free to donate them to Memigen if you don't agree.
Dragon Fangs cap out at 40. Spend them at the merchant by the coffer in the Guild Hall. You can see your number of seals as well as fangs on your Riches screen in your inventory.
Strongbox of the Dragonflight. You will get many of these each weekend. While they contain some useful items for the Stronghold, they do not contain as many as the specific boxes do. By specific I mean Box of Astral Diamonds, Box of Influence, etc. For the regular boxes you are asked to purchase your own keys in the Zen Market or from the Trade House. For the ones with specific vouchers we can sometimes provide keys dependent upon what the box is for and what we need at the time. We ask that you please open these before donating as you will get much more to donate that way. You will need to watch Guild Chat to see what we are giving keys out for and we ask that you link the box for verification and so we know who to send keys to.
***************************************************************************************************************
Dragons take a lot of teamwork and coordination. We have been working to master this task as a guild and we have determined this is our best technique. Please watch the guild chat for any changes, announcements or orders during dragonflight. Work together and we shall slay many dragons together.
Feel free to add any additional information here. I will update this post as necessary to keep everything up to date.
