Spirit Vale

Vale Guardian is the first raid boss in Spirit Vale aka Wing, and for a lot of players it's their first real step into raiding. Unfortunately, plenty of those players walk away after things don't go well and never come back. If that sounds like you, this guide is for you. It isn't about speed, efficiency, or running whatever the meta comp is this patch. It's a team composition and a plan that's hard to fail. If play this comp you'll have the breathing room to actually learn the mechanics. Once those click, you'll walk into your next raid with the confidence that makes everything after this easier

Traverse the Spirit Woods aka Spirit Run, happens right after Vale Guardian. It is not a raid boss, it is an event in Spirit Vale, and some teams skip it, even more so now that you can open any wing at any boss or event. If your team is new to raiding though, Spirit Run is a must-do. It adds a ton to the atmosphere of the wing, and it also awards a Legendary Insight. On top of that there is an achievement, "Keeping the Lights On," for carrying a lit brazier through the event, and the brazier lets you convert a Soul Mirror into an Infused Soul Mirror if you are working the Envoy Armor I legendary armor collection.
