Raids

Raids are instanced locations where 8 players come together to take on the challenges of the raid. Raids yield powerful equipment and rare marks but have a very high difficulty.

Access
In order  to enter a Raid, players must queue up using On Duty Menu (Default PC Key 'Y'), and choose appropriate roles they wish to fulfill. They will then be placed in a queue that searches for other players who wish to do the same raid, and be prompted to enter when an instance is available. It is also possible to use the entrance portals. Raids take teamwork and require 8 players.

Raids are only accessible once you hit level 30 and additional Combat Rating or Episode requirements must be met.
 * Novice Tier 2 raids require a Combat Rating of 40 to enter.
 * Novice Tier 3 raids require a Combat Rating of 50 to enter.
 * Expert Tier 2 raids require a Combat Rating of 43 to enter.
 * Expert Tier 3 raids require a Combat Rating of 53 to enter.
 * Expert Tier 4 raids require a Combat Rating of 70 to enter.
 * Expert Tier 5 raids require a Combat Rating of 85 to enter.
 * Expert Tier 6 raids require a Combat Rating of 100 to enter.

All novice raids are available as expert raids. However, the Outer Caverns raid, tier 4 raids, and tier 5 raids are expert-only.
