Being full with deadly foes and mobs, raids are well-known as one of the main obstacles a player can withstand in Azeroth. Completing a raid requires the cooperation of a vast team of skilled players. However, if you succeed, you will be rewarded with powerful gear.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
What Will The WoTLK Raids Feature?
Raids have an lvl requirement of 80 and can be played either by 10 or 25 players. During patch 3.2, the option to either go Heroic or Normal was added. As a rule, Heroic grants more valuable rewards.
WoTLK initially featured four Tiers (T7, T8, T9, T10). In Classic, they are expected to be launched in a similar arrangement. Nonetheless, previous activities could still hold relevance, even if its gear is surpassed by the latest raids.

Phase One was fully unlocked on 06.10.22, containing Naxxramas, the Eye of Eternity, and the Obsidian Sanctum and Vault of the Archavon.
