And we are approaching the Holidays already! Maybe we will see Raszageth with a Santa Hat? Let's hope not.

But while we wait to see what will happen, this is the recap of what we have seen: 天涯 (Skyline), 佶天鸿 (Jitianhong) and 火锅超界 (Huo Guo Chao Jie) are all showing the power of the Asian guilds! They are all pushing hard on Broodkeeper Diurna and Skyline already reached 66% of the boss HP! And what an impressive performance from 佶天鸿 (Jitianhong)! They really caught up to the front runners and surpassed 火锅超界 (Huo Guo Chao Jie) by just a bit, but still really impressive.

On the EU front, Method got an astonishing performance for the day, and already got all the way down the 67% on Raszageth. And I don't even know how to start with Echo! They not only got multiple days blowing right past the 16 hours of raiding, but they had a crazy pull, playing out of their minds, and pushing the boss to the unseen mark of 19.6%! They really showed why they are the defending champions, and put the pressure entirely on Liquid to match that amazing pull.

Speaking of the NA squad Liquid is also pulling such a performance! They not only dominated the tier in terms of World Firsts kills so far, they are also showing that if Echo wants the World First, they will have to keep up with a whole new level of gameplay. We said here before, but until this point, both squads actually were in a race of their own. But together with Method, BDGG showed both squads that if they slip, only a little bit, there is also amazingly talented squads waiting to get the glory, no questions asked, and I think this is the magic of the RWF, it doesn't matter how far ahead you think got, there's always competition! The Golden squad is currently pushing Raszageth as well, having reached a whopping 67.3% after only 64 pulls in.

Liquid is currently focusing on getting back with consistency. They are having a little bit of trouble to get back at the add platform phase, but rightfully so. As we expected from yesterday speculation, they indeed changed a bit of the composition, bringing an extra Havoc Demon Hunter in the spot previously taken by a Marksmanship Hunter, and they decided to use only 4 healers for the fight.

Echo on the other hand, also brought the Demon Hunter to replace the Hunter, but they kept the 5 healers strategy! Let's see how this difference will play out with more practice from the NA squad as the day progresses.

What a pull for Echo! They just barely managed to give us a look at the shield phase, and it does look scary!

They still haven't managed to kill all 3 adds in both platforms, but apparently the boss has a fixed timer that you have to beat, and if you fail, the boss goes to the third platform anyway and starts the shield cast and you can't possibly break it without already being there do DPS it down.

Keep in mind that if the shield is not broken, it applies a very powerful damage over time effect that lasts an entire minute and a half, so it's pretty much a wipe.

minor

And we are again in one of those weird situations where tracking boss health until they can get to P3 will be weird since the boss become immune at the end of P1, so I will do my best to keep you posted on the amount of adds left in the platforms, since if they can clear them all, we may finally see the feared shield mechanic in all of its Mythic glory!

So far Echo managed to kill 2 out of 3 big air elemental adds in the platform, but they had almost 2 full parties, about 9 raiders falling on the last pushback or just not been able to withstand the damage spikes.

On Liquid's end, they did only 3 pulls so far, but they have killed only 1 big add, and just barely, but with almost the entire raid dead. With more tries today I am sure they catch up pretty fast, and they have the time on their side, since Echo has been raiding pretty much since around 5 AM in Switzerland, where they are located.

Both Echo and Liquid came back to this fight in an impressive shape! I was expecting a little bit more wipes on P1 back to back due to having to reacquire that muscle memory for all the pushbacks, but by the looks of it, the reclear haven't phased them out of the fight at all!

Both reached P2, the add phase, pretty consistently so far, not short of random deaths in P1, but still very impressive!

Liquid still pushing strong with splits, so sadly the Mythic progression is brought into a halt. But for a good reason, the extra gear that both NA is getting right now, and EU will get shortly after will for sure bring them to face Raszageth way stronger!

BDGG is also pushing for splits, which lead me to believe that they will get back to Mythic by their dinner time.

Again, I strongly believe that they will do a full reclear of all bosses they killed so far, but they still got the option, specially BDGG that is racing for that World 3rd on Broodkeeper Diurna.

And we're back to Splitsville, sadly. Obviously NA guilds are doing all the chores for extra gear in order to get back on Mythic at full speed!

Liquid and BDGG are both focusing on farming some missing tier pieces and the huge trinket from The Primal Council, but the very low drop chance is turning this splits into a huge time sink so far, they still have the last shot, at the Mythic reclear, which would be massive for any raider that gets it.

Method and Aversion are still pushing in the EU front, but as we slowly approaching the server weekly reset, I wonder how far will they go before going to bed to try and wake up by the time the servers are back up.

Liquid is actually taking the full Heroic split strategy backup! They have multiple groups doing runs simultaneously, and by the looks of it, after they are done with specific bosses with helpers, they will reclear up until Heroic Raszageth with alt characters from raiders.

BDGG is doing something similar, so the question is how long will it take them to get back to Mythic, and if there will be any changes in compositions, what would they look like after so much more gear is acquired!

As we are approaching the EU reset, here is the current status:

BDGG is farming Heroic gear, the same goes for Imperative

Liquid is currently getting all the loot from The Great Vault, maybe they will start on Heroic the same way as the other guilds? Or they may go directly into Mythic again

Method and FatSharkYes are still raiding, the same cannot be said about Echo that is aiming to getting up right after the server reset.

Method is on Mythic Broodkeeper, with 12 pulls in, and a best percentage of 65% on the boss HP mark.

FatSharkYes is on Mythic Kurog, having only done 4 pulls, maybe to feel the fight and plan for the reset, but they got his HP bar all the way down the 69.1% mark.

Looks like with the hotfixes that went in earlier tonight with Mythic Raszageth, Kurog Grimtotem received some nerfs and Broodkeeper Diurna received some fixes.

  • Kurog Grimtotem
    • Increased the enrage timer to 10 minutes on Mythic difficulty (was 9 minutes)
    • Decreased the following enemies health by 15% on Mythic difficulty:
      • Frostwrought Dominator
      • Earthwought Smasher
      • Flamewrought eradicator
      • Stormwrought Despoiler
      • Tectonic Crusher
      • Frozen Destroyer
      • Blazing Fiend
      • Thundering Ravager
    • Fixed an issue where Kurog Grimtotem's Earth, Flame, Frost, and Storm Dominance were not interacting correctly with Evoker's ability Rewind (all difficulties)
  • Broodkeeper Diurna
    • Fixed an issue which could affect the responsiveness of Primalist Forces on when they become active on all difficulties
    • Fixed an issue which could cause Empowered Greatstaff's Wrath to target a tank-specialization player over other valid targets.

With these changes here's to hoping we see the Method team bring home some kills!

Here is the Blue Post on December 19th Hotfixes

With Liquid finally pulling the boss again, we can see that both them and Echo found that Time Spiral is the key for surviving the pushbacks without the puddles from Heroic.

It will be interesting to see how the Evoker difference will play out though, because Liquid decided to bring 2 Preservation Evokers and use the Time Spiral from a single Devastation Evoker to fill a ranged DPS spot, while Echo decided to go with 3 Preservation Evokers.

This crazy amount of Evokers is mainly due to the spell, but throughput wise, Evokers are also very powerful, so I'm wondering why Echo didn't want to bring the Devastation. Keep in mind that both can use the massive Kharnalex weapon from Broodkeeper Diurna.

Another great pull from Echo on what is turning out to be an insane encounter with Raszageth!

The Mythic only mechanic for the add platform is a Fire Lieutenant that spawns, and has a cast that wipes the raid if not interrupted. The problem that they are having is this cast going through, because this Lieutenant also casts a shield, for a massive 70% of his maximum HP that prevents interrupts.

The question that is left for us, and I guess for them as well, is what is the condition for that add to cast the shield? Or is it just an insanely high damage check? The cast went out roughly 10 seconds after they get to the platform, so if that is the case, we may be in for a long run.

Liquid is not looking that they will come back to Mythic any time soon.

The raiders are focused on acquiring important upgrades, spamming mostly the same Mythic+ keys each.

The question that this strategy raises is, we know that Echo did the most amount of splits of all the major guilds, and Method and BDGG together with Liquid are all behind in terms of raw item level, so will the other EU and NA contenders have to do this as well?

The other side of the epic head-to-head going on for the Raszageth glory is just waking up!

Liquid is with an average item level across their main raid composition of 403! That's just below Echo, currently at the 404.5 mark, and maybe for that reason, they are starting the day with some raiders spamming some Mythic+ keys!

It will be interesting to see how the time management for them plays out today, since yesterday they burned a bit of the time advantage they had to gear an extra Evoker for the challenging knockbacks in the encounter ahead of them.

Liquid is back from their dinner break, and before going back to Mythic Raszageth they will apparently do a quick Normal split, to funnel gear into another Preservation Evoker, which would make sense since earlier in progression they mentioned switching a Priest to an extra Evoker.

The Mythic version of the encounter removes the puddles that slows you on Heroic and Normal, making the huge knockback from the boss the biggest challenge on P1. They are apparently even considering swapping some low mobility classes since they haven't managed to survive the third cast yet!

Instant Dollars is keeping up with their impressive performance from yesterday, having already pushed all the way down the 23.7% mark on Mythic Dathea's HP bar, and with the closest guilds being FatSharkYes and Method, both EU guilds and currently sleeping, they have a big chance here to swoop the World 4th and keep the Dark Horse run alive, and set the stage to massively improve their performance from last tier, where they reached World 10th on Mythic The Jailer, but they still have ground to cover since Method is sitting at 15% as their best percentage already.

Echo have had progressively better pulls in pulls 1 through 3. Based on a clean pull, they certainly have the damage to kill the boss.

Jeathe, a former Echo player and currently casting on Echo's stream, believes that Echo has been bringing a lower geared character they don't want to use for progress to each Mythic boss (for the first 2 bosses at least) to bank loot on. Giving them more flexibility on funneling gear to the best characters.

BDGG is apparently taking a little break, but well deserved. I wouldn't want to keep looking at this spider for so long either.

Their best percentage still 17.3.%, after 12 pulls, reaching Liquid pull count, and very close to closing the encounter.

The EU Race to World First guilds are starting to wake up and prepare for (hopefully) a day of Mythic progress today. Its quite likely that we see them start with Heroic Raszageth, as there are currently no EU guilds to have defeated the boss on Heroic, so it will be interesting to see the early race strategy for EU compared to US guilds.

Do they clear up to Liquid's progress of 4/8 and return to an easier Heroic Raszageth because of the extra gear, without the downside of showing any strategy they have for a later boss such as Dathea, Ascended of Kurog Grimtotem? Or do they replicate Liquid's approach of doing Heroic Raszageth split runs and fly through the earlier Mythic bosses? We should find out today, so keep an eye on the RWF guilds today!

Speaking of US guilds, the majority have finished for today, or are close to being finished:

  • Liquid are still progressing Dathea, Ascended Mythic with a current best of 61.5% with 12 pulls on the encounter.
  • Poptart Corndog (Terros 39% best) are finishing their day with Mythic+
  • Idiot are progressing Heroic Raszageth

Echo have opted to do Mythic+, and it appears that part of their strategy is that some of the loot from the previous Heroic split(s) is being held on characters up to the 2 hour trading window.

Day 2 Splits Boogaloo

The second day of the Vault of the Incarnates: Race to World First started a lot earlier than we have seen before with the EU servers coming up at 5am CET and what did our glorious EU contenders do… splits! The Method channel sprung to life with the glory of Kexman and Samtalkz, at the turn of the hour the splits began and Method opted to go for two runs at a time, whereas the current reigning champions, Echo, were running three at time.

Our combatants started with normal splits before going to heroic at the time of writing this, 00:42 GMT, no team has defeated Raszageth on Heroic. What we have seen is that there are now eight teams that have killed Kurog Grimtotem, including our home team Method. Bigger still we saw the heroic progression move forward once more boss as four teams took down Broodkeeper Diurna which saw three EU teams take the first three kills on her, which leaves us with Echo leading the race followed by FatSharkYes and Revolutionist. BDGG were soon to come up behind to take the 4th spot.

As our NA friends start their day we see a combination of approaches, BDGG and Imperative are doing splits and Liquid have been doing Mythic plus keys. At the time of writing this 00:42 GMT Liquid were having a meeting and then some lunch, and judging by what they're menu looks like it's going to be tasty, but not as tasty as what we will wake up to on the morrow from our NA friends.

The question on everyone's lips right now is when will we see some mythic kills? Will it be on Thursday? I personally am hoping so. But what else does Thursday bring, our friends over in Asia entering the race and we know from the past they are like Raszageth’s wind, fierce, deadly and fast. What tremendous performance will we see from them? How long will it take them to catch up? Will we see an Asian guild take world first? I guess you will have to keep an eye on the app and the Method stream for more information.

While Liquid has been doing Mythic+ runs, Imperative is deep into their reclear, having just reached Heroic Kurog Grimtotem with their alt characters.

BDGG, on the other hand, got their sights set for another 411 item level pieces but Heroic Broodkeeper Diurna is standing between them and the chest.

Speaking of NA, we have Imperative kicking out their raiding day having recleared most of the raid in Heroic, and with a full Normal run already in the bag.

On the other hand, BDGG is pushing more Normal runs, while Liquid is catching up on Heroic progress still, but having defeated Heroic Kurog Grimtotem already they are changing gears to focus on Mythic+ runs.

With Method and Echo closing out the day, we are left with a pretty good situation, both guilds got pretty far into Heroic already, meaning that there is more time tomorrow to hopefully some Mythic action.

We still have FatSharkYes doing some last minute rares and quests, but the ball is currently with NA, to match the progression so far, and maybe already give us some Mythic Eranog pulls?

Vesper is still pushing Heroic Raszageth, having reached almost the same milestone as Echo, with 64% on the boss' health bar after 7 pulls.

Meanwhile, most other guilds are on various stages of Heroic splits, and the Asia Realms are the next realms to receive their patch, so soon we will be able to compare every region's strategy, and hopefully by then, we can see some Mythic action.

Looks like Vesper is taking on the challenge, having pulled Heroic Raszageth and currently sitting at 79% as their personal best for boss HP.

Will they be able to overcome the encounter? Living up to her name, this 4 platform fight is loaded with pushing winds and lightning and LOTS of damage, but they are ready to try, and that deserves respect.

We still have a long day ahead of the NA guilds so, we hopefully may see Heroic Broodkeeper Diurna fall for them today, maybe even a new best on Heroic Raszageth?

After a couple more pulls in, Echo decided to get back again to Heroic splits, pushing their personal best to 61% of the boss health.

Heroic Raszageth then remains open to contention, will we see she falling today? And if we do, will it be before or after Mythic Eranog? I guess only time will tell.

Splits, splits and more splits! Both NA and EU guilds are focusing a lot on gear, and I wonder if they are going to push as far as they did in Sepulcher of the First Ones, in the end of Shadowlands, where most Mythic World First kills were claimed with at least 18 4-piece tier sets completed in the raid group, but keep in mind that the level of power of those tier sets were way higher then the current ones, although pretty strong still.

BDGG is currently doing Heroic in NA servers, while Aversion, FatSharkYes and Echo on the EU side, are all taking a break, but may come back really soon and Method is progressing steadily through Heroic, having just defeated Heroic Dathea.

It looks like splits are still the name of the game for EU guilds, but with some NA streams starting to pop up, it will be interesting to see what is going to be the priority for today.

Currently, Aversion together with Echo are both doing Heroic splits, Method is finishing Normal runs and FatSharkYes just defeated Heroic Dathea, joining the front of the pack but they still have to defeat Heroic Kurog Grimtotem

Heroic splits are still at full throttle to everyone, with Aversion and FatSharkYes still progressing Heroic Dathea.

The best pull so far for Heroic Raszageth is still 63.5% for Echo, on their sixth pull.

With more guilds reaching Heroic Broodkeeper Diurna it will be interesting to see the loot priority for the 411 item level pieces and the Evoker class only weapon.

And were getting closer and closer to Day 2 for NA, and they will have some catch up to do.

FatSharkYes is currently progressing on Heroic Dathea, together with Aversion.

In the meanwhile, he have the Aversion squad doing Heroic splits while Method is about to finish the Normal runs they have planned and FatSharkYes should be starting their first Heroic run pretty soon by the looks of it.

We should see even more EU guilds getting to the last bosses on Heroic for the highest item level loot available for raid gear pieces outside of Mythic, so we can maybe even see Mythic Eranog progression really soon?

Almost ever US guild we've covered so far is now offline, after a day 1 for them consisting of a barrage of normal splits for most and a handful of Heroic bosses for most. We should expect the start of their day 2 to consist of Heroic splits, and perhaps then we may see some progress being made by the higher geared teams on Mythic?

After most guilds spent their time in normal and Heroic, we do see 2 more guilds having a few attempts on Eranog Mythic. The lowest attempt on Mythic Eranog is still 62%.

Day 1 Recap

The opening day of Vault of the Incarnates, saw something quite interesting with the way that Blizzard released the raid, all three difficulties at once, an unprecedented change to the Race to World First. The WoW community speculated since the announcement about what we will be seeing on this first day.

In short we saw splits! Three guilds were brave enough to face Eranog on Mythic, Imperative had 5 pulls with a best of 62.02%, Melee Mechanics with 70.22% and The Early Shift, who were the World First Vigilant Guardian in Sepulcher of the First Ones, had a best pull of 75.12%.

All guilds, at time of writing 02:27am GMT, are doing split runs. Liquid have three different teams running splits at the moment and BDGG are running back to back splits as are our other runners.

Currently leading on Heroic is BDGG and Imperative with 6/8 HC and no one as of yet has killed Broodkeeper Diurna or Raszageth on HC.

With the EU servers scheduled to be up in 1 and ½ hours we will see our raiding champions Echo and our world 2nd guild Method waking to jump into the Vault and see what they can do. Time will tell, stay tuned.

Heroic Dathea is turning out to be an interesting boss as well, with now 2 guilds progressing, with Imperative and BDGG, with the Golden Guardians squad getting as low as 34% and Imperative reaching 28% health on the boss.

Melee Mechanics ended up starting another Heroic run, with alt characters, and it will be interesting to see if they come back to Dathea after they finish the reclear of the bosses they have already defeated.

With more guilds joining the Heroic leaderboards, we see some familiar faces with The Early Shift and Fierce having cleared Heroic Primal Council, although they haven't pulled Heroic Terros yet.

As a little outside the raid news, Blizzard posted earlier today the change to how Bind on Equip items will work on the Mythic difficulty, changing them to Bind on Pickup instead and it will be interesting to see how this can change the gold spent by World First Guilds in this race.

It looks like BDGG are starting to uncover what the Raszageth encounter have stored for us. Having wiped at around 7% after 11 minutes for the enrage mechanic, the fight is turning out to be another long end boss fight, maybe up to 15 minutes, since this is only Normal difficulty yet.

Keep in mind that the longest encounter from end bosses during Shadowlands was Sylvannas Windrunner, who took 14 and half minutes.

You can prepare for the first WoW Race to World First in Dragonflight by getting familiar with the new bosses using Method's shiny new Heroic Boss Guides for Vault of the Incarnates.

Vault of the Incarnates Bosses:

  1. Eranog
  2. Terros
  3. The Primal Council
  4. Sennarth, the Cold Breath
  5. Dathea, Ascended
  6. Kurog Grimtotem
  7. Broodkeeper Diurna
  8. Raszageth the Storm-Eater

With all difficulties releasing on day 1 of the race, we can expect to see most guilds spending the majority of the first day doing Heroic split raids instead of progressing Mythic.
