600G a week to RAID ?

After checking out some guilds here it seems that most require consumables and flask from raiders. So i see that's around 120G for a flask + 80G for rest of crap. For a single raid night.

That seems literally insane to me, at best i can farm is like 30-40G in hour and i would need to spend 5 hours preparing for each raid. I imagine most people work, and have free only evenings, so that leaves 4 evenings to raid, 1 evening to go outside of house to not go insane, and weekends for farming. Wake up, farm, go to sleep literally :D That's no way to live.

I even checked out gold prices. 600G would cost 60 euros cheapest. (not that i would buy any, don't want to get banned).

So i ask. Is this for reals and how do guilds even manage to recruit anyone.

Well, i averaged it out to single flask, since you dont need it to kill trash or learn mechanics or to kill farm bosses. So sometimes more than one, sometimes none.

Or you say people spend more than that actually, cause thats not humanly possible to farm unless you are without school/job :shock:

I made ~70g raiding tonight, just the gold from the bosses. Actually, 90g because my guild leader gave the raid an extra 20g reward since we cleared molten core with fewer than 10 deaths. I probably spent 20g worth of consumables. Raiding is profitable for our guild.

I doubt mandatory flasks are as common as you suggest. (They will be later.) 'Hardcore' raiding probably would cost ~250g a night, thanks in large part to the currently-high black lotus prices. But hey, that's vanilla for you.

Find a guild that has a more reasonable approach to consumables. You don't need them to win, they're just for tryhardism, tanks, and doing content you're undergeared for.

Just clear everything in less than 3 hours and you're fine. No reason to raid more than once per week.
