Raid/Warband Forming and Tools

Raid vs Warbands

A warband is the equivalent of a freep fellowship with the maximum of 6 players. A raid is a collection of
players from 2 to 24. The dierence outside of numbers is utility. A raid has several tools such as Raid
Assistants and Raid Targetting Assists to simplify leading and managing the raid. In general, a warband
should always be converted to a raid to make use of these tools. There is no penalty to infamy in converting
to a raid given that the group size remains constant.

Creating a Raid

There are two ways to create a raid

• Invite one person, then go into the Social Panel (O) -> Raid -> and click on Create Raid.
• Invite one person then right click on your own portrait and select "Convert to Raid"

To expand the raid

• Right click on a person's portrait and select Raid -> Invite
• Right click on a person's name in a tell or /ooc and select Raid -> Invite
• Type /invite PlayerName
• Use an open raid: Open the Social Panel (O), go to Grouping, then click on the Open Groups tab.
  Enter a description (optional) and press update. This will make an open group. People can join your
  open group by going to the Open Groups tab, selecting your raid, and then pressing Join Group.
  • NOTE: This open group WILL close if leadership is ever transferred and will have to be re-opened.
    Additionally, the open group will still be there even if the raid is disbanded.

Raid Assistants

Raid assistants are added by right clicking on the portrait of a player, then pressing Raid -> Add Raid
Assistant. The raid assistant can invite or remove members.

Raid Targetting Assists

Raid Targetting Assists help focus the repower of a raid and alleviates confusion on what the target of the
raid should be. The interface allows for a maximum of five targetting assists which are designated by right
clicking on a portrait, then pressing Raid -> Add Raid Targetting Assist.

Members of the raid can toggle on the Raid Assist window by pressing Social panel (O) -> Raid -> Toggle Raid Assist Window.

Removing Raid Members from the UI

For many people in the raid, it is unnecessary to see more than their group. To remove the information from
other groups in the same raid, go to Social Panel (O) -> Raid -> then unclick Show Vitals for all members
except those that they wish to display.
