Raid Progression (EQ2)  

See also: Raid Strategies, Heroic Progression, Solo Progression

This raid progression guide focuses on zones that can be repeated by groups of players as they progress throughout the game. The difficulty rating for the zones below is based on the most difficult epic mob encountered within that zone. All zones are listed in alphabetical order; any specific progression order suggestions are listed under the tier headers.

Raid zones generally have a minimum and/or maximum group number requirement in order to zone in. A x2 is for two groups, a x3 for three groups and a x4 is for four groups. Many x3 and x4 raid zones can be entered with a less than recommended amount of groups.
