What applies to every raid

New tier sets

Blizzard announced that Hyjal Summit and the Barrow Deeps bring raid encounters and new tier sets.2

A legendary reward

Hyjal Summit and the Barrow Deeps come with a legendary reward that Blizzard has not fully revealed yet. The roadmap also places a new legendary questline in spring 2027.21

Legacy points

Raids grant 3 Legacy points: one for defeating Onyxia, one for defeating all 13 Hyjal Summit bosses and one for all 8 Barrow Deeps bosses.35

Legacy calculator →

Epic raid appearances

The appearance of an epic raid item only unlocks for the player who gets the item (when it binds), not for the whole raid.4

Raiding by ruleset

You can only raid with players of your own faction who chose the same ruleset (Normal, PvP, Roleplaying, Roleplay-PvP or Hardcore).4

"Tier 1" sets in the game client

The client already has 18 sets whose bonuses are labelled "Tier 1", one per class or specialization. They have no piece names or stats yet, and the client does not say which raid or boss drops each piece.5
