Melbourne's sweetest gaming blog

Raid smarter. Loot harder. Play sweeter.

Fresh-scooped raid strategies, patch breakdowns and gear math for MMO and co-op crews. We test every boss twice so your guild wipes half as much.

New raid recap every Tuesday · Free to read · No paywall, ever

What we cover

Guides scooped fresh, three flavours deep

Every column is written by players who actually clear the content, then double-checked on live servers before it goes up.

From the community

Watch a first-clear diary

Riley walks through the raid week that finally toppled Frostspire, using our cheat sheet the whole way. Three minutes, zero fluff.

"Your soak map got us the Molten Vault kill on a Tuesday night. Eight of us screaming in Discord — best AUD $0 I never spent."

Riley M. · Guild lead, Carlton

"I stopped arguing loot at 1am because your trinket sheet just settles it. Our whole roster reads it now."

Good to know

Questions, freshly answered

Yes — every guide, tier list and downloadable sheet is free, with no paywall or account required. We keep the lights on through a handful of ethical gaming-gear ads and our monthly Melbourne meetup tickets. If you want to support us further, sharing a guide with your guild is more than enough.

Our average turnaround is 48 hours. Patch nights, two writers go straight into a testing realm to re-verify boss timers and stat weights before we touch a single guide. Anything still being confirmed gets a clearly labelled "provisional" banner so you always know what's live-tested.

Absolutely. We love first-clear diaries, off-meta strats and stories from smaller guilds. Send a short outline through the contact form below and our editors reply within about three business days. Accepted guest guides get a byline, a profile and a paid rate for longer features.

Every third Friday of the month, upstairs from our office on Little Collins Street in the CBD. Entry is AUD $10 and includes a scoop from the gelato cart we roll in for the night. Bring your own controller — we supply the screens, the snacks and a bracket for whatever fighting game is trending.
