How to create a team

Onyxia

From sign-in to a published team page: what Raid Leaders need, the limits that apply, and how members join.

1. Get the Raid Leader role

Whether you’re bringing an existing group to The Golden Tavern or starting a new one, you’ll need guild access and the Raid Leader role. Apply through “Become a Raid Leader” on the Raid Leaders page. Once you’re approved, you can lead up to five teams.

2. Set up your team

Go to Manage Teams and create your team by giving it a name and choosing its region, server type and faction. Then add your usual raid days, time zone, raid size and play style, along with a description that gives players a fair idea of what joining would be like. You can also set your recruitment status and list the roles you’re looking for.

3. Choose public or private

Public teams appear in the team listing, where players can read about them and apply. Private teams stay out of the listing, but you can share an invitation link that lets someone view the team and send an application. The link doesn’t add them to the roster automatically, so you’ll still review their application like any other.

4. Let the bot set up Discord

Once the team is created, the bot builds its private Discord category in the background, which can take a few minutes to appear. The category includes an Info channel, team chat, a raid-signup channel, a voice channel and team roles. The Info channel updates automatically to show your team’s Leader, Helpers and regular raid schedule.

5. Build your roster

Fill your roster by reviewing applications in Team Planning or by inviting eligible members directly. To share the work, you can appoint up to two Helpers. They can manage members, applications, invitations, team details and raids for your team, but they can’t create new teams, delete the team or transfer its leadership.
