Trust me, at level 85 you're not going to be doing much raiding aside from getting picked up by a group of level 90's looking to run old content for transmog gear.īest advice is to just pick up Mists of Pandaria if you haven't yet, hit 90 and then start looking into raiding. It's disposable by design so if you can only play for 30, 45 minutes you can still feel like you got something done, provided your raid is with it. The LFR (looking for raid) system is probably right up your alley though, since you just hit two buttons and the game finds a raid for you.

Back when I actually raided in a "casual" core raid guild (they weren't hardcore, but they wouldn't let you fuck around either since they didn't want to have people's time wasted by some idiot who didn't take the time to read up on their class, and commit to the elementary requirements for maxing out your gear- gems, enchants, ect) we had two core raid nights which would last 2 hours, with a third hour set aside if needed, plus a third night if necessary (this third night was almost never used.) The amount of time a raid takes varies wildly. While there are guilds who intentionally keep low level characters to raid content as it was intended, the reality is that those guilds are rare and most people only raid the current wave of content- level 90 stuff in this case. You have to treat it like a commitment and plan ahead for it, because it can be a real pain to fill a spot in the middle of a normal raid. Also, keep in mind that it's very poor form to leave in the middle of a real raid with your guildies (barring a serious emergency) and could potentially get you kicked from the guild. My guild raids 2 hours on Wednesday night and 3.5 hours on Saturday night. And of course there you can leave with no real consequences if it's taking too long for you, since it's just a random group of strangers.Īfter that, though, if you want to get in to flex/normal raiding, it's going to depend on your guild. If you get a stellar group you could do it in 30-40 minutes probably, but on average I'd say it takes more like an hour. There it kind of just depends on the group. As has already been said, you're probably going to want to hit 90 before you try getting into any raids.Īfter you hit 90, the first thing you're probably going to do is LFR.
