Bashiok

Highmaul opens with Normal and Heroic difficulties accessible.

Mythic difficulty and the first wing of Raid Finder (Kargath Bladefist / The Butcher / Brackenspore) unlock.

Raid Finder Wing 2 (Tectus / Twin Ogron / Ko'ragh) unlocks.

Raid Finder Wing 3 (Imperator Mar'gok) unlocks.

As with raids in Mists of Pandaria, we're staggering the unlock of difficulties for the first raid in the expansion. As with those prior staggered unlocks, our goal here is to let you have fun playing, leveling, and to have time to explore and prepare yourself and your raid group before jumping into this first raid. We'll share information on the unlock schedule for Blackrock Foundry in the future, but are currently expecting it to unlock approximately 8 weeks after Highmaul.
