Raid Progression

Participating in Raids

Raid progression and flagging looks like this:

Tier 1a: Shard's Landing + Kael Drakkel + Crystal Caverns

Tier 1b: Zeixshi-Kar's Awakening

Flag for this raid includes Kael Drakkel + Crystal Caverns, but not Shard's Landing

Tier 2a: Breeding Grounds + Grelleth's Palace + Evantil + Chapterhouse

Flag for these raids includes all four Tier 1 raids
Note: The "Velishan's Revenge" raid in the Breeding Grounds is an extra raid and does not factor into progression, but does require completion of Tier 1.

Tier 2b: Valley of King Xorbb

Flag for the Valley of King Xorbb raids includes all four Tier 2 raids

Tier 3: Chelsith Reborn

Flag for the Chelsith Reborn raid includes all three Valley of King Xorbb raids

Tier 3a: Plane of Shadow

Flag for this raid includes all three Valley of King Xorbb raids and the Chelsith Reborn raid

Tier 4a: Heart of Fear: The Threshold

Flag for the Heart of Fear raids includes both the Chelsith Reborn and Plane of Shadow raids

Tier 4b: Heart of Fear: The Rebirth

Flag for this raid includes the Chelsith Reborn, Plane of Shadow, and The Threshold raids.

Tier 4c: Heart of Fear: The Epicenter

Flag for this raid includes the Chelsith Reborn, Plane of Shadow, The Threshold, and The Rebirth raids.

Anyone lacking in flags can be "85'd" into the event zone, where at least 85% of your force has the flag.

Requesting Raids

To request raids:

You must have completed all pre-requisite raids.
You must have completed the zone's partian achievement (storyline task arc) and the zone's first mission.

NOTE: Pre-requisite tasks and missions for specific events can be found in the task listing section of our progression guide. (They are the bolded tasks listed under each zone.)

In addition to the above raids, there is also a revamped raid of North Temple of Veeshan, the "Corrupted Temple of Veeshan". This zone is equivalent to Rain of Fear Tier 1 (except for Vulak`Aerr, who is Tier 2), but separate from expansion progression. It contains 13 encounters.

Raid Armor: An Alternative

Every raid event, of course, spawns a chest at its end with loot. Sometimes, the RNG (random number generator) will be very unkind to you and cause long streaks in which you don't see a particular item you've been waiting for.

With Veil of Alaris, you don't necessarily have to rely on the RNG.

Raid Currencies

Each time a player participates in and completes a Tier 1 raid, they receive a 10x Velium Shards (awarded to EVERY player present for the completion).
Each time a player participates in and completes a Tier 2 raid, they receive a 10x Crystallized Fear (awarded to EVERY player present for the completion).
Each time a player participates in and completes a Tier 3 raid, they receive a 10x Shadowstone (awarded to EVERY player present for the completion).
Each time a player participates in and completes a Tier 4 raid, they receive a 10x Dreadstone (awarded to EVERY player present for the completion).

These currencies are used to buy raid gear (both visible and non-visible) from adventure merchants in the Shard's Landing crater:

Tier 1: Armorer Jean Wenlaris (in a tent at about 410, 90, 0 -- southwestern part of the crater)
Tier 2: Ilana Sunmire (in a tent at about 410, 90, 0 -- southwestern part of the crater)
Tier 3: Serroth Dantor (behind Harbinger Glask's tent at about 200, 115, 3 -- southwestern part of the crater)
Tier 4: Crusader Tolsk (in Tomekeeper Kerkaz's tent at about 440, 45, 2 -- southwestern part of the crater)

A tier's visible armor can be purchased as soon as you have enough currency to do so (the items are available without any pre-requisites). In addition, as soon as you complete an event, all items from that event become available to you for purchase.

List of Raids

NOTE: The list here will fill in over time as entries are made into the Allakhazam database. See the quest entries for event details and loot information, the zone entries for the zone overview, and the bestiary entries for individual raid mob listings.
