Parties and Group Finder

Fighting as a party, automatic group finding for runs, manual group listings, party members on the map, and queueing for PvP as a party.

Nareth is a dangerous place, and the harder challenges – dungeons, the Ashwell, the Dread Gates or the battlefield – are best faced as a party. You can look for companions yourself with a listing, or let the system put a party together for you.

The party in your interface

  • Party frames: your companions' frames show their name, their role icon (tank, healer or damage) and their health.
  • Chat: the Party tab of the chat window shows only your party's messages.
  • Party members on the map: on the world map (M), switch on the Party members marker in the "Markers" panel. Those on the same map as you appear at their location; those in another region are listed in the panel.
  • Experience: experience earned in a party is shared among its members, at every level up to 300.

Automatic group finder (Runs)

In the Runs window you can join a queue with a single click, and the system builds the party for you.

StepDetails
RolePick tank, healer or damage – your role icon shows in the group finder (the default matches your class)
QueueingOn the Dungeons, Ashwell or Dread Gate tab: "Join queue" / "Leave queue" – the tab shows how many are waiting and the estimated time
Composition1 tank, 1 healer, 2 damage dealers; after 60 seconds of waiting a group of 2 can form as well
WhoPlayers at most ±30 levels apart
AcceptingThe "Party formed" window pops up wherever you are: members (name, class, role) and 20 seconds to accept. If anyone declines, the others go back into the queue
  • If you're already in a party, you can't join the runs queue – the queue builds the party itself.
  • Dread Gate: the key holder becomes the leader and the others teleport to them; in a party, your companions' kills count too.
  • Ashwell: in a party the leader starts the run, and members within 50 metres of them come along.

Details: Runs, Ashwell, Dread Gates, Dungeons.

Manual group listings (Group Finder)

The Group Finder button on the sidebar opens the Dungeons tab of the Runs window. At the bottom are the players' listings:

  • the list shows each poster's name, level and message – use Apply to join;
  • you can post your own listing with a short description (for example: "Dread Gate IV, need 2 more") and remove it with Delete my listing.

Above it is the dungeon list: level, party size, entry item, and how many more times you can enter today.

Queueing for PvP as a party

  • Blood Arena: the party leader queues; the party can be no larger than the arena format (2 for 2v2, 3 for 3v3).
  • Ironfield battlefield: you can queue with a party of up to 5, again through the leader.

Details: PvP – Player versus Player.
