InWoWSeason of Discovery, endgame Raiding is still a corepart of the max-level experience, even when the maximum level gets raised with each Phase. In Phase Two, the max-level 10-man Raid is Gnomeregan, and just like with Phase One’s BFD Raid, players can only run this Raid once within a given time frame.
The Gnomeregan Raid reset time isthe same as BFD as well, with some Phase Two-exclusive differences. Read on to learn how the Raid reset system works in WoW Classic, how to reset a Raid in WoW SoD, and what exact times Gnomeregan will reset until around when Phase Three is expected to launch.
How WoW SoD Raid Resets Work
Essentially, when you party up with a 10-man group and enter an instance, you are creating a version of the Raid that is tied to your own progression. Players can only run these endgame instances once within a given time frame, along with everyone in your group. When your group kills the first boss of a Raid, everyone in the group will be locked to that instance.
Until the Raid resets, you and your party members will not be able to run the instance from the start, and get loot from defeated bosses, again – even if you go with another group.
If you don’t kill complete a run, the remaining bosses will still be killable for all group members until it resets. If you’re wandering around a capitol city and see players advertising for Raid groups with “4/6” completion, it means they’ve beaten four out of the six bosses in the Raid, and are recruiting others who only need to down the last two bosses too.
How To Reset Raids in WoW SoD
Unlike dungeons, you can’t reset SoD Raids by selecting an option outside of the instance – they occur automatically at regular intervals, and at different times than some other iterations of WoW. In Phase One, the Blackfathoms Deep Level 25 Raid was not available from the launch of the Season of Discovery. Instead, it became available two weeks afterward, to let players level up andexplore the revamped version ofWoW Classic. After BFD was released, the Raid reset every three days at 8 a.m. server time.
It appears that the Gnomeregan Raid will operate on a similar schedule. But this Raid wasn’t locked for the launch of Phase Two – just restricted. You could go into Gnomeregan from the launch of Phase Two on a one-week lockout. Now, Gnomeregan resets regularly every three days.
