How RaidFinder works
A short guide to finding raids, applying, and filling a roster.
The loop
Step 1
Add a character
Log in with Discord, then add a World of Warcraft character on your profile and set it as active.
Step 2
Find a raid
Browse open runs on the home page. Character names and Warcraft Logs are on the roster.
Step 3
Apply
Apply with your active character. The raid leader reviews applications while the raid is still open.
Step 4
Show up
If you are accepted, you are on the roster. The raid happens in-game at the posted server time.
Questions
How do I join a raid?+
Add a World of Warcraft character on your profile, set it as active, then apply from a raid page. The raid leader reviews applications while the raid is still open. Once the roster locks, nobody else can join.
Can other players see my character name?+
Yes. The roster shows each seated character's name, class, spec, budget, and a Warcraft Logs link when the player has one. An RL marker marks the raid leader's seat.
Can I apply with a different character?+
Switch the active character in the header, then apply. One Discord account still only takes one spot on a raid. If you created the raid, you already occupy the leader slot and cannot apply on an alt.
When is raid time?+
Pull times are in game server time — the clock of the WoW realm, not your local timezone. The time the raid leader typed is the time everyone sees.
Who can create a raid?+
Only accounts marked as raid leaders. Creating a raid seats your currently active character in the first roster slot.
