    Ula’tek reaches Raid Finder · the final EU wing opens September 9

    The Venomous Abyss's Raid Finder rollout reaches its final wing this week. The Tomb of Ula’tek opens with EU weekly maintenance on Wednesday, September 9, featuring The Coiled Altar and Ula’tek.

    Blizzard lists the week of September 8 and explicitly ties unlocks to each region's weekly maintenance. For European players, that means Wednesday rather than the North American Tuesday opening.

    What becomes available?

    Wing four adds the raid's concluding encounters to Raid Finder. This is not the release of a new raid: Normal, Heroic and Mythic are already available. The change completes LFR's own rollout.

    For players progressing specifically through Raid Finder, that is this week's addition to look for. Check the wing name in the queue menu so you do not accidentally select an earlier section.

    Check your level and gear

    Blizzard lists character level 90 and item level 273 for Raid Finder entry. Meeting the queue requirement is not a substitute for knowing what your role needs to do.

    Before your first attempt, open the Adventure Journal and read the role notes for both bosses. Recognizing a dangerous mechanic in advance helps the group more than only looking it up after a failed attempt.

    Still ahead for Europe

    At the time of writing, the final wing has not yet opened in the EU. This report follows Blizzard's previously announced schedule; it does not announce a new nerf or changes to loot.
