Learn about World of Warcraft raids, including their sizes (10, 25, or 40 players) and how to find groups.
Raids in World of Warcraft are generally encountered when you raid the other faction's cities or attack end-game dungeons. Raids located in Azeroth and Outland are considered outdated and are not recommended unless you are pursuing achievements, reputation (rep), or the experience of participating. You can only complete "RAID" quests while you are in a raid.
Raids in World of Warcraft can accommodate 10, 25, or 40 players. It is highly recommended to join a raiding guild or have your guild lead a raid. Joining random raids is generally not advisable, as they often fail to form, fall apart shortly after formation, or can be disrupted by players who take all the loot without regard for others (loot ninja) or who do not follow directions, ultimately ruining the entire raid.
Within the social menu (your user interface for interacting with other players and game systems), you will find a raid tab. This raid tab is instrumental in helping you see who is currently in your raid group and assess whether your raid composition is balanced for the encounter.
- Consider joining a dedicated raiding guild for a more organized and successful raid experience.
- Use the raid tab in your social menu to check raid balance and member status.
- Outdated raids in Azeroth and Outland are primarily for achievements, rep, and experience, not for progression.
