Raid Preparation

Phase 3 Preparation Checklist

A practical pre-raid checklist for guilds entering Black Temple and Hyjal Summit: access, consumables, resistance gear, professions, loot planning and character readiness.

Phase 3Black TempleHyjal Summit

Before raid night

  • Finish the required raid access / attunement steps for your server ruleset.
  • Repair, empty bags and carry enough gold for progression repairs.
  • Bring flasks or battle/guardian elixirs appropriate to your spec.
  • Stock food, weapon oils/stones, potions and class-specific reagents.
  • Gem and enchant every piece you expect to use in progression.

Phase 3-specific preparation

  • Plan Shadow Resistance for Mother Shahraz according to your guild strategy.
  • Assign Tier 6 token priority before the first relevant boss dies.
  • Bring a 375 Miner to Hyjal for Ancient Gem Veins.
  • Review Hyjal wave assignments, not only boss mechanics.
  • Confirm interrupt, dispel, tank and special-role assignments before pulls.

Gear check

Do not judge readiness only by item level. Hit, expertise, defense, mana sustainability and encounter-specific resistance can matter more than a visually larger stat total.

Guild check

A consistent roster matters more in Phase 3 as assignments become stricter. Use the guild directory to recruit or find a raid team on supported EU and US realms.
