OUR BUILD HAS BEEN NERFED. We can no longer operate this run

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Phallic Strawberries* are operating a 3-man Forgemaster running service, for the budget price of 50k. We operate on European Servers only. By now we've had a fair few customers and good feedback dotted along the pages of this thread.

*Not affiliated with LBSRA, as everyone on the Services thread seems to be these days. Without meaning to flame them (but succeeding anyway), I never felt so poop at running that I needed to pass in-game exams to prove myself.

We take roughly 1.5 - 2 hours to complete this, but we feel that getting it done about 45 minutes earlier isn't really worth paying 200k extra for.

Our runs can only really begin at these times:
Friday night @ 22:00-23:30 UK time
Saturday @ Late afternoon - 23:30 UK time
Sunday @ Late afternoon - mid evening UK time
These times are NOT fixed, merely a guide. getting in contact with us to arrange a time would be helpful.
HOWEVER. If you do arrange a time with us, it would help if you ACTUALLY CAME ON at this time. And if its about 3 hours till the run and you have to go afk SET YOURSELF TO IT. If you come on 4 hours late and ask for a run, you will not get one. 3 people one weekend have made absolutely stupid mistakes like this and as a result not got run, annoying me in the extreme and resulting in them having to wait 5 days till the next weekend. No excuses.

"That's not a very big time window" you might say. Well, it's because on weekdays our american teammate gets on pretty much as me and the other euro teammate go to bed. I'll try to give some advanced warning, but opportunities have a habit of popping up. Please do remember that we're only human and I appreciate your patience (hopefully we can get you run inside a week of the original request).

1. You must pay the fee before we leave, as it's confusing to divide the payments before so-and-so point inside the fissure. This also eliminates the possibility of us being scammed on such a long run.
2. You may follow us and watch as long as you stay out of danger (please don't get within our aggro circles, or you'll aggro us), or go afk and come back to find the path cleared the forgemaster. EDIT: And sorry to Leena, we'd prefer it if you went afk, because we're greedy buggers and like our drops, but feel free to watch - I'll no longer get angry from that.
3. Remember your materials and money for crafting costs! Details can be found on Guildwiki's armour section.
4. We are grumpy europeans and if we think there is some kind of conspiracy for you to steal our shard drops, we will probably make sarcastic comments. You have been warned! xD

To arrange a run with us, try to leave a post on this thread. As well as bumping the service, allowing us to get more customers and so be more enthusiastic about running you. If you feel the need for privacy, feel free to PM me on the forum. What I'd prefer you didn't do is whisper me in game. More than half the time i will forget to write your name down, or will be busy.

Customers we have run - These people are not affiliated with the running service and contacting them asking for a run is complete lunacy. Shino has told me that about 6 people have whispered him asking for runs
Zedd Gwaihir
Ellisande De Mornay
Faceless Shino
Godz Runnerz <-- Run him twice on different chars
Godz Runnerz' friend whom I forgot the name of ¬_¬
Excaliburs Chaos
Kanae Jr
Darjk Interseptor
Legendary Ruler
Dana Liv Valeska
Leena Nightshade
A Moody Mesmer (<-- We couldn't run him that night, so we took him into an 8 man team instead free of charge.)

Bump. I was hoping for a little more response with it being only 50k ¬_¬

*EDIT:* Just so you know, Goth Minister is not a member of this service. He is merely an old friend of the Strawberries whom we tested the build with - the above picture is of the first time we tried this. If you whisper Goth asking for a run, he will not know what you are talking about.

Farthest Point · Aug 11, 2006, 05:55 PM // 17:55

The reason you may not be getting as many hits is because this site is primarily American players. But I must say 50k is like eye-popping cheap. If you go on the american servers you will get fully parties for sure.

Ad0110am · Aug 11, 2006, 08:17 PM // 20:17

wish this was for American players too

but if you change to American anytime let me know

Godz Runner · Aug 11, 2006, 11:58 PM // 23:58

Me and a freind would like the run asap.

Hey Haggard, friendly suggestion for you, if you and your two friends own second accounts, make identical characters and have your second account American servers.

Shaw Shank · Aug 12, 2006, 12:56 AM // 00:56

ya pm if u go american

shino_joost · Aug 12, 2006, 06:02 PM // 18:02

They did a great job running me. Very highly recommended!
I'll be sure to make use of their service again in the future.

Haggard · Aug 12, 2006, 06:42 PM // 18:42

Thank you to those customers we have run, but I regret to inform you that we have no plans as of yet to relocate to American servers. Though one of our team is American, she is on European servers, and for me and Tommy to switch to American servers to do the runs would probably involve performing them at insane times - please remember we do have lives as well (well, sort of).

Godz Runner · Aug 13, 2006, 12:43 AM // 00:43

Scorpion Boy · Aug 16, 2006, 08:25 AM // 08:25

What scared Exacliburs was that we need payment before we set off. This is primarily because unlike a PUG Droks run, you actually know who the runners are, and we have a forum thread for you to leave bad feedback on, whereas the customer may not be so well established and therefore a split payment run could be a disasterous timewaste for us if they decide to try and scam us.
However, looking from the feedback and screenies, and with the weight of my futile forum well-knownness, I hope we look decent enough to be trusted with this.

P.S. BUMP!

Ok i would like to get run, just give me a while to get materials and stuff, also could u post the armour costs because i couldn't find on guildwiki, sorry cancel that just realised how much all ectos will cost

Haggard · Aug 29, 2006, 02:45 PM // 14:45

Here's a quick guide anyway:

Helmets: 15 ectos + 15 shards
Torso: 45 ectos + 45 shards
Gloves: 15 ectos + 15 shards
Legs: 30 ectos + 30 shards
Boots: 15 ectos + 15 shards

As far as I remember, the sets all cost the same standard materials as their 15k equivalents in tyria. However, for expansion pack professions check wiki, and everyone else would be best to as well because this guide is just from memory.

Haggard · Sep 02, 2006, 02:29 AM // 02:29

Bumperskates.

i also imagine that 50k + 75/60k both cant fit in someone's inventory at the same time :P
