WoW: The first Dragonflight raid tests are finally planned!

Eight bosses await you in the first-ever WoW Raid: Dragonflight, in the vault of the incarnation, which is an ancient prison of the titans. And so that you can properly prevent these bosses from breaking out of their eternal prison, the fights should be tested at least once beforehand. When these raid tests take place, you can often make assumptions about the release of an expansion or a WoW patch, because the raid tests are usually held at the end of a test phase, but we’ll store that later at this point. First the official information: The first (and maybe final for you) vault of incarnation raid tests are planned from late September to mid-October 2022!

Raid test schedule in Vault of Incarnation

As usual, the raid testing schedule is not set in stone; Boss tests scheduled for October 6th have already been pushed back to October 7th and 13th, 2022. You know how it is. Bugs or server problems can always cause delays or failures. That being said, the final boss of Vault of Incarnation, Raszageth the Stormeater, will not be available for testing; so you can only preview seven of the raid’s eight enemies ahead of Dragonflight’s release. Currently the plan for the tests looks like this:

In Valdrakken, Orgrimmar, or Stormwind City, you can speak to Nexus Lord Donjon Rade V to teleport into the raid while it’s open for testing. Characters’ effective level will scale to 70 for raid testing and their item level to a value appropriate for the encounter being tested.
