Are realm first raid achievements earned on heroic only?

Or does this also include Normal? I was told that this changed after Naxx, but if anyone knows the true answer, I’d be curious to know!

Yeah idk if there is a normal realm first, but the heroic realm first is the one people go for/care about

Right, I guess I should’ve explained the context. We’re on a locked realm where it seems as though no one has logged any raids since Phase 1 as far as we can see, so we’re wondering if we can just do a normal raid and get the quick achievement and then be done, lol. But, if it’s locked to heroic, that’ll be a tough sell being locked on the server with the people we have. Maybe not for the earlier raids since we can gear past it to make it easier, but that still assumes the realm first hasn’t already been taken or expired (not sure if they expire either).

If it helps 10m and 25m are the same for realm first achieve purposes

The realm first achievements are all for the hardest difficulty (ie: heroic).

I’m fairly certain they don’t expire. I remember hearing back in MoP or so that people were getting realm first achievements on dead servers for doing previous expansion raids.

Heroic only (either 10 or 25) in cata

There’s no title associated with them anymore, this started in wotlk and ended in togc - the guild gets an achievement, the players don’t in cata. In Wotlk the player also got a feat of strength

T7
Name The Magic seeker (realm first malygos)
Name, Conquerer of Naxxramas (realm first kel’thuzad)
Obsidian Slayer Name (realm first sartharion)

T8
Name, Death’s Demise - Realm first Yogg-0
Name The Celestial Defender - Realm First Algalon

T9
Grand Crusader Name - Realm first Heroic Anub’arak

The titles from these are permanent
