The recap schedules new raid unlocks for 9 December 2026.[1] Availability in a particular test build must be checked separately.
Raid design and loot rules
The plan is a 10-player raid and a separate 20-player raid per tier, without flexible sizing at launch. Onyxia’s Lair is planned for 40 players. Dungeons and raids use one difficulty.[2]
GDKP is prohibited.[3]
Before using a guide
A raid’s name or model does not identify its bosses or rewards. Each article records the evidence currently available and asks for the missing entrance, encounter, and loot details. Keep another edition’s strategies separate until the same behavior is documented in Forever.
