Raid Warden guide
Help Guide
A practical guide for new users setting up profiles, joining guilds, signing up for raids, using Raid Command, tracking DKP, bidding, loot, Discord, exports, and role-based access.
Getting started
Start with your account, guild, and character.
Raid Warden is character-first. Your account gets you in, your guild controls access, and your characters are used for raid activity.
Join or create a guild
Guild Leaders create a guild during setup. Members usually join from an invite link, submit a join request, and wait for leadership approval.
Add your character
Add your main character first. Raid Warden uses characters for signups, attendance, DKP, bids, loot, and raid history.
Use the sidebar
After setup, the private app sidebar groups work into Guild Management, Raid Management, My Profile, and Raid Command when your role can use it.
Guild Management
Roster, recruits, settings, and leadership tools.
Guild Management is where leadership keeps the guild organized and members find the records attached to their characters.
- Guild Overview for current guild status and next actions
- Roster views with character-first member records
- Join Requests queue for reviewing new applicants
- Guild settings for name, tag, invite behavior, and member access
- Rank and permission-aware tools for Guild Leaders, Officers, Raiders, Members, and Recruits
- Officer audit and notes for leadership-only review when enabled
Raid Management
Plan raids, collect signups, and run the night.
Raid tools connect the schedule, signups, attendance, DKP, bidding, loot, and history around the same raid record.
Raid Schedule
Create one-time or recurring raids, set local start times, manage signup windows, and keep cancelled raids out of totals.
Raid Details
Review signups by character with class, level, role, main or alt status, attendance, DKP, bids, loot, and raid history.
Raid History
Use the history page for completed raid records, attendance context, DKP changes, loot awards, and audit-friendly summaries.
Raid Command
Use the live raid window to build groups, check attendance, award kill credit, run bids, award loot, and keep the raid night moving.
Raid Command flow
Use the live window during raid night.
- Open Raid Command from the sidebar when you have raid access.
- Pick the active raid, review signups, and arrange groups before the pull.
- Record attendance checks and kill credit during the raid.
- Open bid windows, monitor live bid chat, award loot, and close the activity cleanly.
DKP, bidding, and loot
Keep awards traceable and character-based.
DKP totals, bid eligibility, and loot history are built from records that can be reviewed after the raid.
DKP Ledger
DKP totals come from ledger entries. Gains, spends, corrections, decay, raid awards, and manual adjustments stay traceable.
DKP Rules
Leadership can configure standard, open, blind, silent, fixed-price, zero-sum, decay, attendance-weighted, main-priority, and hybrid rules.
Bidding
Bid windows follow guild rules for visibility, minimums, fixed prices, attendance eligibility, main priority, and officer award control.
Loot Records
Loot records stay tied to raids and characters so members can see who won what, what it cost, and how it affected DKP.
Discord
Connect chat to guild activity.
- Sign in or link accounts with Discord when your guild uses it
- Connect a guild Discord server from Discord Settings
- Route raid, signup, bid, loot, recruit, and DKP notifications to separate channels
- Use slash commands for raids, raid details, signup, cancel signup, DKP, roster, and help
- Keep responses guild-scoped so commands only answer inside the linked server
Records and exports
Review history outside the app.
Leadership can export guild records when spreadsheets or archives are needed.

Roles and Permissions
What each guild role can usually do.
Raid Warden shows the tools that fit your guild role. Some actions may be hidden if your guild has them turned off.
Runs one guild: settings, ranks, raids, DKP, attendance, bids, loot, and member management.
Helps with raids, attendance, DKP, bids, recruits, and member records when the guild allows it.
Can view raids, track personal attendance, view DKP, and participate in eligible bidding.
Can manage their own profile, view guild information, and use the features the guild has opened to members.
Limited trial access. Can manage their own profile and view recruit-approved information.
Site Admin is separate from guild leadership. It does not make someone Guild Leader of every guild, and Guild Leaders do not get Site Admin tools unless that role is granted separately.
Troubleshooting
Common questions from new users.
Most issues come down to guild role access, missing character setup, DKP rule settings, or Discord scope.
I cannot see a page in the sidebar.
Raid Warden hides tools your role cannot use. Ask leadership to check your guild role, recruit status, and whether the feature is enabled.
My DKP or bid eligibility looks wrong.
Check that you are using the right character, your attendance is recorded, and the guild DKP rules match the raid's bidding setup.
A signup, bid, or loot record shows an unknown character.
That usually means the original character record is missing or inaccessible. Leadership can review the member and character records.
Discord commands are not answering.
Confirm the server is connected in Discord Settings, commands were registered, and the command is being used in the linked guild server.
