Raid ClearsNORMAL, HEROIC OR MYTHIC
How it is played
Faction
Armour type
Loot
Server
A clear is scheduled as a single run rather than spread over a week, because a raid lockout works that way and a half-cleared instance helps nobody. Normal and Heroic are booked most nights. Mythic runs to a raid team’s own schedule, which is why it is sold as first half and full clear separately.
A clear guarantees the kills. It does not guarantee that anything useful drops for you, because loot is still loot. Traders are extra players brought along who pass you what they win, which turns a clear into gear and is the single biggest lever on what a run is worth. Add them if you came for the item level; skip them if you came for the achievement or the mount.
