ESO World-First Achievements
Alcast was the leader of Hodor, the best ESO Raiding Guild, and helped secure several world-first achievements:
- 🏆 World First Godslayer – Sunspire Trial
- 🏆 World First Gryphon Heart – Cloudrest Trial
- 🏆 World First Tick Tock Tormentor – Halls of Fabrication
- 🏆 World First God of the Gauntlet – Blackrose Prison
These are among the hardest achievements in ESO, and even today, only a few guilds have managed to complete them. After stepping back from competitive raiding, Alcast shifted focus to helping the wider ESO community through education, updates, and gameplay insights.
