For those who are just getting into the raiding scene. I wanted to make a guide on how to each world buff.
I showed the full route for Dm N buff along with some tips and tricks how to speed things up so you get to the raid with the most time possible on your buffs still.
Full Vid Guide Here
It’s hard to explain all of this through text so I made a video guide with time stamps to jump to whatever buff you want to hear about.
The main highlights are having speed boost items like nifty stop watch. Get summoned to each stop, have mage portals ready and have all consumes on you when you first go into DM N. Summons are the key thing to save the most time and if I can’t plan it with my guildies. Then I usually pay warlocks 5-10g to summon me to the area I need to go which in the end saves many minutes.
I hope this helps some newer players secure their buffs and get that purple loot!!
Let me know your thoughts and what I could add to future guides to better serve the community.

A raiding guild will have groups that help people go out and get buffs if the buffs are truly that necessary. For more casual guilds, all you really need to know is “Be at Orgrimmar/Stormwind for Dragonslayer when it goes off” and “Go to the island in STV for the heart”. On Mankrik Horde, there’s usually a Dragonslayer every night at 7:30, and a couple Hearts in STV right after, then people go to their raids.
But either way, if you’re a new player and looking to get into classic Raiding, your first step is to find a guild that raids, and make sure they’re on the same wavelength as you about how hardcore they are. Some guilds raid to have fun, kill bosses, and get loot. Some push parses, require you to be flasked up at all times, and generally just try to get the absolute best numbers they can. The first step to classic raiding is to figure out what kind of raider you are, and get in that kind of guild.
Most of the realms I play on have a Discord server, and within that a channel for buff coordination. Mankrik-Horde is one of the steadier and predictable. Atiesh-Alliance is one of the weirdest as far as killing the NPCs to reset - I’ve seen 3 dragonslayers in less than an hour. (The temper tantrums when someone kills the MC priest are hysterical though.)

Those are very wise words ! First step is to decide and find what type of guild you want to be in. On my server I always got screwed they dropped buffs at 6 and I don’t get home until 7. So I would have to raid log with buffs getting them days before the raid which made it a pain. A casual guild wouldn’t mind as much as mine does when it comes to must have all buffs and consumes.
