Raid timers (sometimes called "raid lockouts") are the technique implemented by Blizzard to prevent members of large guilds from visiting high-end instances over and over to repeatedly farm bosses in a short period of time. Bear this in mind if you are revisiting an instance with different raid members, as they might not always be "saved to" (associated with) the same instance as you. If you haven't got an ID for a certain instance, and you join a group with an ID for that instance, you will be saved to their ID as you enter the instance /raidinfo

abstract
  • Raid timers (sometimes called "raid lockouts") are the technique implemented by Blizzard to prevent members of large guilds from visiting high-end instances over and over to repeatedly farm bosses in a short period of time. Players re-entering a time-limited instance will find that they are entering the same place, regardless of whether anyone else is still in the instance; bosses killed in previous visits to the same instance stay killed until the timer resets. The other implication is that the players associated with the instance have a time limit in which to complete their activities before the instance is reset. This time can be extended (from Patch 3.2.0) with the Instance Lock Extension feature. Bear this in mind if you are revisiting an instance with different raid members, as they might not always be "saved to" (associated with) the same instance as you. If you haven't got an ID for a certain instance, and you join a group with an ID for that instance, you will be saved to their ID as you enter the instance Raid timers (or Raid IDs) are the system used to save you to a raid instance. To see which raids you are currently saved for, you can type /raidinfo This will give you a number of IDs, which you can then compare with others to see if you're saved to the same raid. You may join raids that are saved if you are not saved- however, you cannot save yourself to another raid, even if it is similarly progressed.
