Hi everyone, how does one go about applying?

Hi everyone, how does one go about applying?

You can fire me a tell, Taas Taru. Alternatively we are in the Goblet second district plot 13. You can apply at our house sign. Discord is also a great way to get ahold of us.

Last night we hosted the first social event of the Shadowbringers era of Aureus Knights in Final Fantasy XIV. We had a great turn out for a game of tower darts and a march through the cities of The First that ended in a pants off dance off, even getting quite a few other citizens of Gilgamesh together for screenshots and naked marching.



Darts was great as always. For the uninitiated, Darts is a classic AKS event where someone jumps off of a very, very high place and everyone has to try and land on that person. The closest to the first person to jump is the winner. Last night we did two bouts: one where each person jumped one at a time and another bout where everyone jumped off at once (and I cheated the placement a bit by jumping from a slightly different angle than others could!). We had two winners, bout 1 was won by Alkaline and bout 2 was won by Miana!



After finishing up Darts it was off to do the only event more widely loved in AKS: A naked march and pants off dance off. Now this one always gets us weird looks from new recruits - "what do you mean Taas? What do you mean we're going to take all of our clothes off and march through a city?" Well... it looks a little something like this:



We had a blast! We managed to double the size of our marching line at least. We had lots of random folks in the community come join us, and it was fantastic. We ended up marching through Eulmore and two instances of The Crystarium. We managed to get some great screenshots with us and a bunch of random joiners-on.



I want to thank everyone for coming out, including the Knights who are on other servers and members of other guilds presently. It was lovely to see so many faces new and old. Until next time!

Here's a bunch of additional photos from the night!

We are still actively recruiting!

Just a little bump on this post to share some announcements

1) we're open and recruiting again at the moment - would love to have fresh blood come and join us!
2) if you're a former member of the FC who has moved on to other FCs and are looking to keep in touch with your AKS family (remember Once a Knight, Always a Knight!) we have a Linkshell going to blend our alumni and current FC community.

If you're interested in either of these propositions you can find out more on our website (www.aureusknights.com) or on Discord (https://discord.gg/0106LNDCPTEFyqeKX)

Hope to see you all on Gilgamesh!

A couple more announcements!

1) Our recruiting is still on-going and we're really hoping to fill out our ranks as we gear up for Endwalker! Find out more on our website (www.aureusknights.com) or drop by our Discord (https://discord.gg/0106LNDCPTEFyqeKX)
2) We've started up with some super fun events, the latest one being a race through POTD with the winners taking home a cool 1 million gil!
3) We are neck deep in our latest house house redesign. We started with an exterior face lift and are super happy with our new Large Forge home!

Remember "Once a Knight, Always a Knight!" -- if you're a returning member from any of our community games we would love to have you in our FC.

Can't wait to see you all on Gilgamesh!

We've just done a draw for our most recent lotto and are starting up a screenshot contest.

Details are here if you're interested in what we are up to!

We've also done a big house redesign of our exterior, and it's looking awesome:

Come for the TACOS.

As soon as these Queue (EX) has become a little easier to cheese, events will be back up and running full force! We still need to have our big Christmas event, so if you haven't joined AKS yet, which is a mistake on your part, you still have time! You can win one of our famous-to-us glamour contests (if you can beat Dusk).

House is back under remodel, because without events to run I decided to demolish everything inside. (Big thanks to Iris for stepping up to help me remodel because I'm insane.)
Feel free to come check it out and tell us everything we are doing wrong.

If you've finished Endwalker, haven't finished Endwalker, just starting out, whatever. Head our way. We always need fresh blood to come yell at me to work on my MSQ instead of getting distracted by housing, events, sudden need to level crafters, Fortnite, etc.

This was just supposed to be a bump.

BUMP.
