In the early days ofWorld of Warcraft, raids were an activity that many players could never experience. To seriously tackle anold school raidplayers likely needed to earn a spot in an organized guild and wrangle the schedule of 20 to 40 players. These days raids have become much more accessible thanks to the Raid Finder feature. That said, organized guilds still get the benefit of being first to the action by a few weeks.
WhenWoW Dragonflightlaunches in late November, players will begin grinding towards the new level cap and then getting their item level in shape for endgame content. There will be a handful ofendgame dungeons for fans of 5-player challenges, but Vault of the Incarnates will be the first major raid released in the game.

Vault of the Incarnates won’t be available right at launch, so don’t feel too much pressure to race through the leveling content. Players will first be able to access the raid in mid-December and from there the Raid Finder wings will gradually roll out in the following weeks between December 19 and January 16. Players have some prettyawesome armor sets to collect from the Vault of the Incarnates raid, so expect it to be a popular one.

Week of December 12: Normal, Heroic, and Mythic Vault of the Incarnates will open with the weekly maintenance for each region

That should be everything both pre-made raid groups and Raid Finder fans need to know to plan out their schedules for the coming Vault of the Incarnates raid release. More exact details about item level requirements and any quest prerequisites should arrive in the coming weeks asDragonflightgoes live and players dive intoall of the newDragonflightexpansion’s content. Players will also want to familiarize themselves with all of the boss mechanics and strategies before queuing up for Raid Finder, but there’s still lots of time for that. To start, players will just need to hit max level by powering through the new zones and then the endgame conquest can begin.
