Opening Date

Entry Requirements

  • Level 60 (mandatory).
  • Attunement: complete the "Key to Naxxramas" quest chain (from the Argent Dawn priests in Eastern Plaguelands).
  • Recommended gear level: BiS T2 or equivalent (minimum 5500 HP for tanks, 4000 for healers).
  • Raid size: 40 players.

The Four Wings of Naxxramas

Spider Wing

First and most popular for newcomers — moderate difficulty, great items.

  • Anub'Rekhan — spider web control.
  • Faerlina — trap positioning, kiting.
  • Maexxna — AOE spiders, positioning.
  • Sapphiron — Spider Wing final boss: ice and frost.

Plague Wing

Requires anti-magic readiness and timely dispels.

  • Noth the Plaguebringer — vampires and control, fast healing.
  • Heigan the Unclean — legendary "Heigan Dance" (kiting the platform).
  • Loatheb — AOE disease, clean positioning.

Military Wing

Most mechanically demanding — requires raid discipline.

  • Gothik the Harvester — fast target switching.
  • Instructor Razuvious — understudies attack the raid, tight mind control needed.
  • Kel'Thuzad (pre-final): 3 phases, archmage summoning, suppression.

Death Knight Wing

Final bosses — for experienced raids only.

  • Anetheron — interrupt speed.
  • Lady Blaumeux — Void Zone destruction, damage splitting.
  • Thane Korth'azz — tank rotation.
  • Kel'Thuzad (final): the epic finale of Vanilla Classic.

What Drops in Naxxramas

Naxxramas drops Tier 3 (Naxxramas Set) — the best sets in Classic. Also unique weapons, accessories, and cloaks unavailable anywhere else.

Full item list in our raid wiki *(coming soon)*.

Raid Composition Tips

  • Stock up in advance: Bandage, Elixir of Fortitude, Fire/Frost/Nature Resistance Potions depending on the wing.
  • Minimum composition: 8 healers (2 Paladins, 2 Shamans, 4 Priests), 2–3 tanks, rest DPS.
  • Use Discord for coordination — voice communication is critical for Heigan and Kel'Thuzad.
