Help! Am I Raid Ready

The primary aim of this guide is not to introduce the quest or to state the strategies used. Rather, this will be about flagging as well as getting the weapons and other necessary gear to do it. However good is the preparation, it is still not sufficient. When you join a raid, go with an open mind and listen real well. People may bark orders but they generally do this in order to get completion. A raid can be fun but failing is a huge waste of time, resources and is certainly not fun.
