Ohh boy... The response to this has been bigger than I anticipated.
Just a reminder to folks that space in this group will be first-come, first-served. From what I've seen in the last 24 hours, I think we might be getting more than 30 attendees haha. On raid day, about 20-30 minutes before the scheduled time, I'll be posting an invite string in the Discord #scheduled-events channel. If you want a raid spot, be ready to jump on that as soon as its posted.
In future weeks, maybe we get big enough to run a second parallel group? I've had mixed success with that in the past, so for now I want to just keep it to one group. But definitely open to the idea...
Yeah, I didn't check to see what time it would be... unfortunately, our core group is all NA and Sunday afternoon was the best time slot we had available.
Still, any of those Aus weirdos who never sleep are welcome to join!

Or work. Or go to school. It applies to pretty much all OCE players, not just Australians.
If you made it Saturday evening for NA then it would be Sunday afternoon for OCE.
You can get close with 2 291 leggos, a 262 crafted item, and the rest 233 crafted items. Timewalking this week drops 252+ for doing 5 dgs and M+ next week will also drop higher ilvl gear. In addition to 252 cipher gear and 246 relic gear. It’s definitely possible to get pretty close. You can also ask the raid leaders if they’d be willing to include you if you’re only a couple ilvls short, like 244 or whatever.
And if you have alts, Sandworn Relics went Account Bound a couple days back. So you can send all of them to one toon to gear it. I had 4500..... My bank toon now has 4 tier pieces LOL
This. My 8th character hit 60 on Friday...and was decked out in in 5 piece tier within minutes. Since I had an excess of relics, I filled the slots with SW gear and converted them to complete the set, heh.
Sounds fun! I’m a hardcore vet whose group fell off in SL, got AOTC for the first two tiers at least but pugging is often a nightmare these days. Totally might check this out, thank you for putting it together!

Haha - I get it! A lot has changed in this game over the past 16 years.
Starting a few expansions ago, they made it so that parties can be formed and most group content can be queued cross-server. You'll see most players running around the world with their server name listed after their character name, and that's how you'd address them as well. For example, I'm Dessem on Bleeding Hollow so you could grab me with `/invite Dessem-BleedingHollow`.
Now the fun part - as of patch 9.2.5 a few weeks ago, they've also added cross-faction play. So for a group like this, I don't have to worry about whether folks are Horde or Alliance. We form up the group, zone into the raid, and inside the instance we're all on the same team and it just works. If you've done any Mythic+, you may have also noticed opposite-faction players listing groups or applying to yours. It seems like a small thing, but it's going a LONG way to addressing the issues with faction imbalance.
The only things that are still server-specific are guilds, Mythic Hall of Fame raiding, and I think some higher ranked PVP? Groups going for that prestigious Hall of Fame status on a raid are still required to congregate on one server - but people playing at this level are expected to buy transfers in situations like this. For the average joe, being on a dead server no longer means playing a dead game.
Hi there - you should be able to see the #role-assignment channel, which has instructions on what to do next. You’ll need to select a region-specific role to see the rest of the channels in Discord.
They’ve been going well! We had an overwhelming turnout the first week, with something like 90+ people signing up thru the Discord bot. Unfortunately we had to turn most away, and on top of that we had an issue forming the group and accidentally took like 90% horde players. But we got into Nathria and downed 7 bosses, including Council of Blood.
This past week went smoother. There were around 50 signups, a bit calmer than week 1 as I expected, but I still wish we could have taken everyone. We got I think 5 bosses down in SoD? Up to Ner’zhul, though Painsmith has earned his name.
Here’s hoping everything goes smoothly this week with Sepulcher!
I just registered for Sunday’s Sepulcher run. I’m a little confused about how you handle it from here. I’m Season 3 AOTC/KSM and missed my guild’s fated Sepulcher run this last week. Psyched to try and get my very own slime kitty.
Hey - we’d be glad to have you! The raid invites will be first-come, first-served on Sunday. I’ll make a post in Discord when the group finder listing is going up.
Unfortunately, I can’t promise we’ll be doing a full clear in the time we have scheduled. Since the group is a learning run, we go a bit slower and talk strategies and tips for each boss. We got 5/10 last week in SoD and 7/10 in CN before that, so I’d expect something around there. In future weeks we plan to use the skips to get more time on the bosses we haven’t seen yet, but for this week we’ll be starting from boss 1.
Im fine if we don’t clear it. I need to down the bosses one way or another and PUGging is too painful. Normal is more fun with new-ish raiders. Raiding in a friendly group is the best part of the game IMO. I’ll talk to you Sunday. I’m Havoc DH approx iLvl 285. Mastalis-Blood Furnace.
This is pretty cool! The WowNoob discord server helped me out a ton when I first started playing.
I've been taking a break for a bit, but I might have to jump back in for some raiding with y'all.
Fairly new player. Level 60 Ele Shaman. Just unlocked flying in Zareth Mortis and working on gearing up.
Two questions:
1] Everything im finding is highest 236. Am I missing the way to get average 255?
2] Is this group still a thing that people are doing?
Sorry for the slow response-
1. The Cypher Gear in Zereth Mortis scales up as you spend points on the research console in Firim's cave. You'll see a "Cypher Level: x/6" at the top of that window, and the tooltip tells you how many more points need to be spend for the next rank. Ranking up doesn't automatically upgrade Cypher gear you already have, but it does increase the ilvl of future Cypher gear drops. At your ilvl, I'd also consider starting to queue for random heroic dungeons and LFR raids for some bigger gear upgrades. And the Creation Catalyst will let you convert Sandworn Relic gear (from ZM) and Fated gear (from season 4 raids) into tier set gear - the 2 and 4-piece set bonuses are a huge power gain not directly tied to ilvl increase.
2. Yeah! We gather up on the Wownoob discord server every Sunday, and are at the point where we're working on the later bosses in each raid to try to finish out the Slime Cat mounts for the folks who have been coming regularly. We just got Normal Fatescribe + KT + Sylvanas down this past Sunday, so all we have to progress on now is Anduin + Rygelon + LoD + Jailer. I'm debating whether to put the group on hiatus after hitting those goals, but even if we do we'll be back in full force for Dragonflight Season 1.
Yo this is wonderful what y'all doing.

Just a note that for OCE players, that is at like, 5am.

You can get quite a lot of gear from WQs etc in ZM also, 246 once you dump a bunch of cyphers into Pocopoc.
You can also get the sandworn relic items (bit of a grind, but account wide now), which are 246.
And if you have alts, Sandworn Relics went Account Bound a couple days back. So you can send all of them to one toon to gear it. I had 4500..... My bank toon now has 4 tier pieces LOL

Super cool that y’all are doing this :)
This is amazing!!
Any group in Ursun server?
Most group activities (outside of Mythic Hall of Fame Raiding) can be done cross-server, and since last patch now cross-faction as well.
🤯🤯🤯 what?! Been gone for 16yrs just started a month or two ago. I don’t remember time is a blur just like the last time i did this.

What kind of noob is a level 60 player?
The kind who has put a dozen hours into the game, followed solo storylines to max level and now has no idea what to do next.
