Nice! You'll have 4 happy WARs or DRGs in your LS. He's what you do with those molybdenum ores if you don't sell them:

Fire >> Iron Ore x3, Molybdenum Ore = Molybdenum Ingot
Fire >> Molybdenum Ingot = Molybdenum Sheet
Earth >> Darksteel Sheet, Molybdenum Sheet, Gold Ingot, Orichalcum Chain, Mercury, Water Bead, Buffalo Leather, Scarlet Linen = Barone Corazza (that new WAR/DRG body piece no one has)

I would advise a 97+ Smither do these for safe measures. If you've never seen a Barone Corazza before, the only one on our server belongs to this guy (he actually has full Barone set -_-; ):

[TheMidg]

Very nice.

[Ellatrix]

Oh, so thats where that ore comes from.

Guy on Fenrir has whole set, and he's NA :spin:

3 ore sold, 2 for 1mil, the most recent for 2mil.

On Bismarck we're the only group that has defeated the dragon, so we could basically charge whatever we want if we decided to sell some of them.

It was definitely an awesome fight, and really made up for the frustrations from last weekend. By the way, this was done with no rangers in the main alliance at all except for an EES at the end. All of the damage came from smn, blm, drk/thf and sam/thf. It seems melee actually have a real use in these fights

Didn't you see the log shot after the Spike Flail? ;p I'd say it messed us up. But, you can SA + WS on it safely, seemed like we did it 50 times that fight.

[Izual]

Flail isn't a problem if you're good about relogging your hate. I was going in and out the entire time, 1000-ish damage each time, and never even got aggro this round let alone flailed.

[Gobo]

Good job you guys. :D

[tomfin10]

Yay! Go Bismarck! (|Congratulations!|) (=´∇｀=)

[mccoulick]

Wow thats awesome. How many ppl did you guys have? How hard was he compared to Tiamat?

Anyways grats on the kill! kinda lame title tho -.-;

We had around 40 people total from members of both Lunarians and ArchDominus. Honestly I don't see this being possible with much less. Perhaps with the perfect class setup it could be done with 30-36 but that doesn't really happen unless you exclude people from joining the fight.

Jormungand himself is similar to Tiamat in difficulty. Tiamat hits harder and has more powerful, larger-range AoE attacks, but Jorm has fast-cast blizzaga III (Tiamat's firaga III can be stunned pretty easily, Jorm's can't) and one of the AoE attacks he does has paralyze-ga. After being up close with both, I say they both cause some crazy damage But our tanks/mages say Tiamat is a bit harder on the main alliance.

The thing that makes killing Jorm much more difficult than Tiamat is the surrounding area. Six lvl 80-ish bombs pop around him, each of them on a 5-minute repop timer. In addition, 4 or 5 lvl 82+ ice elementals spawn whenever there is ice weather (which is more or less always). The eles like to fire off 500-damage blizzaga III's and don't stay slept very long, and the bombs like to go theronuclear and blast everyone in the area for 1000+ damage on a regular basis. Needless to say, winning this fight is dependent on figuring out a way to deal with all of this and still maintain enough damage on Jorm to overcome his auto-regen during sleep.
