The mad dash to get geared for World of Warcraft Dragonflight and its first raid is nigh as Blizzard announced the release schedule late yesterday. For many players the first two weeks of the expansion release has been nothing but a scramble to reach the raid’s minimum 359 ilvl–and maybe get a snail mount along the way.
