About Us
Second Breakfast is a morning raiding guild on the Horde side of Mankrik (PvE). We've been on Mankrik since Classic's launch,
evolving over the course of its duration from a casual, single-team guild to a competantancy-minded two-team structure, each with their own
unique identity and goals.
We strongly value the social aspect of the game, seeking to recruit and maintain a close-knit community of competent raiders and friendly social players.
In order to facilitate our large, diverse community, we offer two distinct raiding environments:
a competent-core weekday morning team, and a semi-casual weekend morning team.
For a full rundown of our guild's history and how far we've come, head over to the "about-us" channel on our discord (links below).
Raiding Schedule
• Team Sunrise (competent-core) raids Wednesday and Thursday from 10am to 1pm server time (eastern).
• Team Aurora (semi-casual) raids Saturday and Sunday mornings from 10am to 1pm server time (eastern).

After a few weeks of practice in ten-player Ulduar, twenty-five members of team Sunrise came together the morning of February 15th to earn themselves the Firefighter achievement
by killing Mimiron on hard mode. The very next day, February 16th, they ALSO earned themselves the Astral Walker title for defeating Algalon the Observer,
a feat accomplished by only 7% of raid teams to date, in six pulls.
This pre-nerf version of Ulduar has proven to be a challenge across the board, but a buffed version of Algalon was another hurdle entirely.
With that hurdle now cleared, Sunrise has cemented themselves yet again as one of the most capable raiding teams in the world.
Now, they set their sights on Yogg 0, Trial of the Grand Crusader, and the ultimate goal: defeating the Lich King.
Following a schedule change to evenings and the absorption of <Kick Rocks>, team Daybreak had high aspirations for
the first week of Sunwell's launch: two split raid clears.
With minimal PTR preparation and a split raid with many alts, we did not expect to be in the running for the server's progress rankings.
Despite the reduced expectations, split one went in as Sunwell unlocked and managed to blaze through, one-shotting Kalecgos, Brutallus, and Eredar Twins.
Unfortunately, Blizzard's strange PTR schedule began to show through on M'uru and Kil'jaeden progression, but eventually the final boss of The Burning Crusade
was defeated, and Daybreak secured their spot as Server 2nd 6/6, missing Server 1st by ONE Kil'jaeden pull.
Focusing up for our true week one goal, Daybreak went back in with split two, managing to clear 6/6 AGAIN. Daybreak split two officially secured
Server 5th clear, with only three other guilds on Mankrik managing to clear in the first week. The difficulty promised by Sunwell proved to be
accurate, but it's the most fun we've had in a long time.
Sunrise and the Weekend team are also hard at work on progression. The Weekend team managed to get Kalecgos down and many reps in on Brutallus in their
three-hour window. Sunrise, meanwhile, put in extra hours to get all the way through Eredar Twins, making the encounter look easy. They then put many
reps into M'uru, learning the fight quickly and working towards optimizing toward a kill. Though they saw Entropius many times, the kill will have to wait until next reset.
Recognizing that we were capped on available talent by raiding in the mornings,
and accommodating a change in Glorac's real-life schedule, Daybreak made the difficult decision to transition
to nighttime raiding the week of Sunwell's release. While this particularly difficult transition left behind
many valued members that could only make our morning times, it also brought forth an incredible opportunity for
our guild and another: an absorption of <Kick Rocks>.
Three of Daybreak's officers had been moonlighting in <Kick Rocks> for months, and the guild was full of people that
were good culture and performance fits for what already existed within Daybreak. <Kick Rocks> held the vast majority
of the server's 2nd-fastest kills to Daybreak's fastest, making the absorption an obvious choice.
As Phase Four comes to a close, we look back upon what has been considered the height of TBC raiding
by many: Black Temple. With three teams farming the content weekly, we were both blessed and cursed with SEVEN off-hand
[Warglaive of Azzinoth] and only one main-hand to pair with
for Hulkrage, a fury warrior on team Sunrise. Luckily, the lack of full pairs didn't hold us back (too much).
Among our accomplishments this phase...
Now we turn our attention toward the most difficult challenge TBC has offered yet: pre-nerf Sunwell.
As the anticipation of Phase Three became reality, the Second Breakfast teams charged head-first into
Mount Hyjal and Black Temple, eager to conquer the iconic instances. Though the late Thursday content release trimmed all but one raid
day from our calendars, a quick flex Monday addition ensured that both weekday teams had two full days of progression to work with.
Daybreak woke up bright and early Friday morning to blitz through Mount Hyjal and Black Temple, being the second-fastest raid team on the server to clear
both instances in the first week. Not yet satisfied with just one clear, they went in again on Monday with a second split and cleared both instances again,
being rewarded for their efforts with an iconic [Warglaive of Azzinoth] for the resident
Fury Warrior main, Sheerx. Now, Daybreak looks toward optimizing their runs for speed and execution for the remainder of the phase.
Sunrise had many successes of their own, sending two splits into Hyjal in the first day of raiding, and conquering nine of the total ten bosses between the two raids.
As Monday rolled around, they were ready to delve deep into the Black Temple, one-shotting every single boss they encountered - all the way through Mother Shahraz -
before running out of time. Were it not for the awkward Thursday evening release, a week one clear would have been easy to secure. Surely enough, as week two rolled around,
Illidan and his Council fell before the might of Sunrise.
Not to be outdone, the Weekend team, despite having fewer raiding hours and a partially-PUG roster, made Hyjal look easy despite wave-reset bugs and finicky instance resets
wasting a good portion of precious raiding time. They then went into Black Temple the next day to walk all over the first six bosses, with only one wipe on Bloodboil, before running out of time.
As they take the week to get ready for what comes next, Illidan be warned: you are not prepared.
As Phase Two comes to a close, we applaud the accomplishments of all three of our raid teams, their leadership and
their raiders. During a phase which broke many guilds, all three of the Second Breakfast raid teams managed to clear 10/10 in the
pre-nerf state, and set many server, region, and worldwide records while doing so.
Among our accomplishments this phase...
Now, we set our sights on Tier Six, with Mount Hyjal and Black Temple around the corner.
Finishing Phase One strong, Second Breakfast dove into Serpentshrine Cavern and Tempest Keep with high expectations.
Team Daybreak managed to clear all of Serpentshrine Cavern in just over three hours, one-shotting every boss up to Vashj who only took four attempts.
Meanwhile, both Sunrise and the Weekend Team made it up to Morogrim Tidewalker.
The next day, Daybreak quickly dealt with the first three bosses of Tempest Keep and began the process of banging their heads against the
Kael'thas Sunstrider threat reset bug. Eventually, come Monday, he fell with a total of eight attempts, and Daybreak rejoiced at being one of five
guilds to have cleared the content in the first week, and with the second-least amount of time spent on progression. The Weekend Team
also managed to get clean one-shot kills in on the first three bosses of Tempest Keep, further adding to Second Breakfast's success.
Now, we look toward supporting Sunrise and the Weekend Team as they push toward their own Vashj and Kael'thas kills, and cleaning up
our clear efficiency as Daybreak prepares for split raids!

After an impressive leveling push by members of both Team Daybreak and Team Sunrise, we went into
Gruul's and Magtheridon's lairs on week one, expecting difficulty. Through the extensive preparations and efforts of all involved,
High King Maulgar was defeated on the first attempt, with only two deaths, and in less than two and a half minutes.
Looming around the corner, Gruul proved to be more difficult, but fell within three attempts as the raid adjusted to the randomness
of his ground slam and shatter mechanics.
Magtheridon, proving to be the most troublesome of the three, took six attempts due to the chaos of the first phase, but eventually fell
without any major issues with cube clicking.
The only boss that remained for the following week was Nightbane, which also promptly fell over. Now, we gear up, start official raids for all three teams,
and await Serpentshrine Cavern and Tempest Keep in the next phase.
To relive the progression experience, check out the video below.
We did it. After a weekend of adjustments after our Sapphiron attempts on Friday, we came in and one-shot the boss in
one of the cleanest displays of coordination the guild has seen.
Then, Kel'Thuzad loomed ominously in front of us. Wave after wave and attempt after attempt we adjusted, learned, and with the collective
efforts of our raid team, both present and cheering from the sidelines, as well as the support and encouragement of the guilds around us,
Kel'Thuzad was defeated.
Now, we set our sights on cleaning up execution on Four Horsemen and Kel'Thuzad so that we can continue to farm Naxxramas for the remainder of
Classic as we await The Burning Crusade with baited breath.
A huge thank you and congratulations goes out to each and every person that has helped the guild reach this point, and a special shout-out to our officer team:
Slayde, Limeslayer, Baconmaster, Reckoning, and myself, Glorac, as well as all the officers that have come and gone (and come back again) over the
course of Classic. The guild, and I, could not have done this without you.
After an optional Monday raid in order to gain a second raid day in the first week of Naxxramas's release, we
find ourselves Server 3rd, Horde 2nd, in Naxxramas progression. Loatheb stood no chance after our learning attempt on Friday, and
Gothik quickly followed. Patchwerk took one attempt for healers to adjust to the damage output, and died one the second try. Grobbulus fell
over, and then Gluth loomed ahead of us. After some learning attempts and adjustments to raid composition and strategies, Gluth finally died.
Thaddius, being the only boss between us and the satisfaction of 12/15, only took two attempts after Stalagg decided to one-shot several raid members
while the tanks were flying one the first attempt. Unfortunately, we did not have time to attempt Four Horseman... yet.
We have our eyes toward our first full raid week in Naxx, applying all that we've learned in these past two raid days in order to clear even more
smoothly and efficiently. Hopefully with the three days ahead of us, we'll see Four Horseman, Sapphiron, and maybe even Kel'Thuzad fall before us.
In a wonderful display of quick learning and on-the-spot decision-making, our raid team managed to one-shot
C'Thun and three-shot Viscidus, the final two bosses standing between us and 9/9 status.
With these two bosses down, Second Breakfast has become the server 8th guild to 9/9 the Temple of Ahn'Qiraj, and the Horde's 6th.
Massive congratulations to the entire team, and all those that worked hard to make this happen. Today is a day to be proud.
Just twenty days earlier, Psychoshockz had received his
[Eye of Sulfuras], and the long process of
gathering the mats to craft the hammer had begun. We thought it would take months, but Psychoshockz once again surprised us with an
overwhelming dedication to the game, crafting his [Sulfuran Hammer]
in an exceedingly fast 20 days, and without the aid of much of the guild - who were still low on arcanite from the recent efforts to build our first
Hand of Ragnaros and Thunderfury merely weeks before. With impressive effort put forth, Psychoshockz is now the proud owner of a very well-deserved
legendary weapon.
Congratulations, Psychoshockz, on your [Sulfuras, Hand of Ragnaros]!
Our loot luck continues into Darkmoon Faire week, rewarding Durins with the guild's third
[Eye of Sulfuras]! Durins has had his
[Sulfuran Hammer] crafted since only a couple of weeks
after joining the guild, and has been patiently waiting for his turn to finish the legendary item. With some unlucky split
rosters the previous week, things were looking down as an Eye dropped in the raid that Durins was not in,
but sure enough the Eye dropped for the second time in a row the following week
(third if you include our Saturday-morning PUG)! As if that weren't enough, he also received his
[Rejuvenating Gem] less than an hour earlier! What a raid day!
Congratulations, Durins, on your [Sulfuras, Hand of Ragnaros]!
Nine months later, we have a [Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker]!
But that's not all! In perhaps the most amazing week of loot we have ever seen, between our two Blackwing Lair runs and two Molten Core runs, we received:
two [Helm of Endless Rage],
two [Bracers of Arcane Accuracy],
a [Styleen's Impeding Scarab],
a [Doom's Edge],
a [Drake Fange Talisman],
two [Rejuvenating Gem],
two [Empowered Leggings],
two [Claw of Chromaggus],
a [Prestor's Talisman of Connivery],
a [Boots of the Shadow Flame],
a [Pure Elementium Band],
a [Lok'amir il Romathis],
three [Aged Core Leather Gloves],
a [Bonereaver's Edge],
an [Onslaught Girdle],
and of course, the most important items of the week, an [Eye of Sulfuras]
and a [Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker]!
Congratulations to all on their well-deserved loot, but an especially large congratulations to
Psychoshockz on the [Eye of Sulfuras]
and Mauzer on the [Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker]!!
As we look forward to Phase 5 and Ahn'Qiraj, here's hoping that we see many more weeks like this one.
After seven long months of raiding as a day-one guild, clearing MC since mid-October and multiple times a week since then,
we finally saw an [Eye of Sulfuras] for the first time.
With it, we have everything necessary to acquire the guild's first Legendary Weapon... except the rest of the materials.
But fear not! With the overwhelming support of the guild's membership, our very own Baconmaster managed to gather the materials necessary
to build the hammer in a blazingly-fast two days. A trip to Blackrock Depths later, and Baconmaster is now the proud owner of
the first and only Legendary item in <Second Breakfast>!
Congratulations on your [Sulfuras, Hand of Ragnaros], Bacon!
The first of our monthly tryhard weeks ended in high spirits with a less than 50-minute Molten Core clear.
With minor hiccups on Lucifron and Gehennas, as well as an unfortunate tank death due to Corehound stuns, there is still room for improvement,
and we look forward to the next speedrun in June.
This clear puts us 3rd overall on the server for MC Speed, and 2nd Horde-side, losing to Antiquity by 7 seconds (if only Glorac had activated Domo 20 seconds earlier!).
It was a wonderful morning for Second Breakfast, as we cleared the entirety of Blackwing Lair with precision and confidence.
Every single boss fell on the first attempt, with almost perfect execution across the board, setting many personal records for the guild.
We look forward to making this the standard routine, opening up extra raid days for future content.
And, as if rolling through Nefarian's lair and killing him and his minions wasn't enough, we had enough time to fly down to Onyxia's lair and kill his sister as well;
we had a bit of fun with it, burning her through Phase II before she could fireball a tank, and beating our record kill time by 30 seconds to complete the day.
In an absolutely amazing week of progression, we managed to take down the remaining two drakes, Chromaggus, and Nefarian himself.
The loot pinatas that are Ebonroc and Flamegor didn't stand a chance, but Chromaggus and Nefarian put up a fair fight.
Once Chromaggus's breaths were figured out and people got into the groove of the fight, he became fairly easy.
Nefarian's class calls took some getting used to as well, but in the end he didn't stand a chance.
Congratulations to Melkita on winning the [Breastplate of Wrath],
Fivesecrule on the [Robes of Transcendence],
Dukkee on the [Prestor's Talisman of Connivery],
Primal on the [Ashkandi, Greatsword of the Brotherhood],
and Agonal on the [Head of Nefarian]!
Our first day of BWL went as smoothly as one could hope, with Razorgore, Vaelastrasz, and Broodlord Lashlayer falling before us.
Razorgore fell in three attempts, one to see the fight and then two actual tries.
Vaelastrasz took five total attempts; two to test the waters and then three actual tries.
Broodlord Lashlayer and the preceding suppression room went down on the first try!
Of guilds that post their raid logs, this puts us #10 on the server, #7 Horde-side, despite the fact that we started the morning after release.
Taking on a new name and a new look, Second Breakfast emerges to hopefully become the most recognizable name of morning raiding on Mankrik.
When
dropped just the day before from an Azuregos kill that we missed by mere moments, we were saddened.
Our pre-raid discussions were about how unlucky we had been with crafting and enchanting pattern drops
since the start of our raiding.
Then, it happened. From a trash mob in MC, one of the luckiest drops possible...
we received our very own .
When an dropped just minutes later,
Glorac joked that it would have yet another set of plans in it, but nobody truly expected to see yet another
looted into the inventory of our resident rogue Shankdead.
We shall never complain about crafting pattern luck again...
...but could we get a drop, please?
After receiving the right exactly four weeks prior (during our first week of official guild raiding!),
the oh-so-shiny left fell into the inventory of our Guild Master and main tank, Hyper.
Now, we begin the process of gathering the vast amount of materials required to complete the legendary weapon, and wait for the impending release of Phase 3.
Nefarian won't stand a chace.
Did somebody say ?
Our first one-day (three-hour) Molten Core clear, and with some of our cleanest kills yet.
Garr's adds no longer stand a chance thanks to the 8-piece might of Taffer, and Ragnaros went down with a whopping 55 seconds left before submerging.
Congratulations to Stormy on winning the ,
Destroyo on the ,
Hyper on the ,
Shankdead on the ,
and Ejello on the !
Into the lair of the beast we ventured, and the beast was slain. Our first Onyxia kill as a guild was a clean one,
requiring only one attempt and with only 33 raiders.
Congratulations to Ademiri on winning the ,
Saktoth on the ,
Asher on the ,
Kerrsed on the ,
and Lenthan on the !
Quickly transitioning from PuGs led by our very own Stormy and into early unofficial guild raids,
we managed to defeat the Firelord in only two attempts, before submerge, and with only 38 raiders present.
With official guild raids starting October 16, Ragnaros will surely continue to fall as we move our
attention toward our next guild-first kill: Onyxia.
Congratulations to Taffer on winning the [Legplates of Wrath],
Kerrsed on the [Stormrage Legguards],
Psychoshockz on the [Malistar's Defender],
Blind on the [Band of Sulfuras],
and Dustt on the [Bonereaver's Edge]!
