Looking for Raid

January 24, 2010

Patch 3.3 came with a completely revamped tool for finding other players to group with, called the “Dungeon Finder.” It’s a brilliant change on Blizzard’s part, allowing players to easily find others players for 5-man groups; without the usual sixty minutes of advertising in the trade channel (spamming) in one of the major cities.

However, I began to wonder how I could find other players for the 10-man and 25-man dungeons, which used to be listed in the finder before the latest patch. I turns out they moved them to a separate feature called the “Raid Browser,” which you can bring up typing “/lfr” (or by bringing up the “Social” panel and then choosing “Open Raid Browser.”

Essentially it works just as before, but without the limit on the number of different raids you can be listed for at the same time. Also, it has the same “instance lockout” feature that the 5-man group finder has, so you won’t inadvertently list yourself for a dungeon you’ve already completed (i.e. one that you’re “saved” to).
