Raid Essentials

Whether you are an experienced raider or new to raiding, here are some items you can bring to raids to improve your experience. Let’s face it, running out of mana or life is really no fun. Following is a list of consumable that you can read through and find items that would best suit your class to bring on raids. Please note that some items are not stackable (buffs from eating different foods or drinking different waters are not stackable). Obviously, if you are a caster, you do not need to carry items better suited to melee. And this is not a complete list, if you can think of an item that is missed, please add to this list and include the materials so people know what to farm or where to farm. If you are an herbalist, you can farm your own herbs; otherwise, you can pay an herbalist to farm them for you via buying the mats on AH or paying a guildy to farm them for you.
