The Race to World First (RWF) is back to close out 2022, as Vault of the Incarnates (Vault) kicks off Dragonflight. Here we’ll update our RWF Recap daily.
As with all new raids, we get to see the best guilds in the world flex their muscles. It can be hard to track with action across the globe, staggered releases, and different tactics. Here, we’ll recap the main moments from the top 3 guilds and their progress. This article will update as often as possible, though it is a one-person operation.
RWF Twitch Drops
Don’t miss out on your RWF Twitch drops. Starting at 3 pm PST (midnight for EU) on the 13th, and ending on December 28th at 11:59 pm PST (9 am on the 29th for EU). You can view a full list of channels with the drops on the Blizzard site, TLDR, it’s most/all RWF streams.
Updates are constant, new days will track with the NA start, so for EU updates, you may need to check the previous day.
Current RWF Vault of the Incarnates Mythic Progress
Below is the current progress on all Vault bosses. The order is displayed from 1st to 3rd (left to right) with the current best progress. Links will be included to kill videos where possible.

RWF Day 2 Recap
NA: With NA realms about to come back online, it’s time for NA to get back into the raid. BDGG and Liquid have both moved into Heroic to do more splits now, as more groups look towards Echo’s strategy. BDGG was next to make solid progress on HC Raszageth but as we clock off for the night in EU it looked like it would be more of the same as guilds look to gear up.
RWF Day 1 Recap
EU: It was the same story for EU guilds, with Method starting their day and going right into Normal splits. Both guilds went into Heroic early with a full guild group just to test the waters. Echo ended their early morning push by getting to 6/8, bringing them on par with BDGG and Imperative as guilds leave those final higher ilvl bosses for later.
The afternoon saw Echo “move into the lead” as the only guild to get a look at Raszageth Heroic. Interestingly, Echo has, for the most part, avoided Normal completely. With Echo and Method focusing on splits before heading off, Echo achieved the best pull of Raszageth of just 60% before moving on.
Raider.io has noticed an interesting loot strategy. All loot is being given to one character and distributed later on. This way, they can give out hundreds of items at a time and work out the best distribution. It also, however, means they can “hide” who’s getting what loot.
NA: With the raid open, Team Liquid is off already and straight into the Normal raid. So far, the prediction seems to be that M+ will be left until later in the week, with guilds looking to claim as much tier as possible. Imperative gave us a glimpse of what Mythic would be like, before dashing off to do splits. Normal Raszageth is down, as BDGG claims the “World First”.
Imperative moved up to 6/8 Heroic, as it looked like they might claim a world first in something. BDGG were also chasing the title, though it’s just as likely they move back to more splits. With just about 3 hours left of “normal” NA raiding to go, we check out for the night here in EU. Most NA guilds are still fighting away in Normal, with EU guilds starting off soon. We’ll likely see more of the same tomorrow.
When does the Vault of the Incarnates RWF Start – Day 0
NA Servers are now live
If all goes to plan, it will start when NA servers come back online. At the time of posting, that should be 11am PST (around 8pm for those on EU Server Time). However, Blizzard has been known to run into “issues” on raid release day, so it will likely be later. As for EU servers, they should go live as early as 5am CET, thanks to Blizzard’s new earlier weekly reset time to bring it in-line with the daily reset.
