These raids are not like traditional MMO raids where all 24 people are in the same group. Instead, there can be a total of 24 players in the map, 4 groups of 6 players, and these players will likely never interact with each other except to kill a boss. You want to be in one of these parties. 8-10 Blade And Soul Gold, Soul Shield Chests, 5-10 Naryu Silver.
Use the Party Search totems after teleporting to the Wayfarer's Wharf windstride point in the Blackram Shipyard. Nightshade Harbor costs 1 Naryu Silver as an entry fee the first time, but only one Naryu Coin on subsequent trips. E. Fleet is free. Follow your party and make sure you don't fall behind!
Directly outside these two raids is a Wheel of Fortune. These wheels have NPCs next to them that allow you to trade Naryu Coins or Moonwater Valor Stones for tickets. Do not trade stones. You should gamble all of your Naryu Coins on this wheel, however, since you will almost always come out on top. The wheel awards mainly Naryu Silver among some other items. I would keep a few extra Naryu Coins in your inventory to use as offerings for Dragonblood, though, just in case.
It's also important to note that, again, do NOT release if you die during a boss fight. You will lose your loot from that boss, and will have to kill them again. Wait for a rez.
E.Fleet Supply:
6 total quests: The Chain of Command, Capsize the Captains, Brethren of the Coast, Allies of the Blackram Marauders, Broadside the Blackram, It's the Little Things that Kill
Every single quest is simply a "kill X number of NPCs" or "kill X boss", so this is much faster with a group since kill credit is shared
You don't really need to deal with the boss's mechanics perfectly, since there are so many people killing them. Just don't stand in the fire
Poharan spawns after 9 boss kills (Tae Jangum, Slashimi, Mak Sobo). She is NOT ON A SPAWN TIMER!
Takes about 20-30 minutes with a group. May take longer if you wait on Poharan to spawn.
Nightshade Harbor:
7 total quests: Officers of the Blackram Marauders, Dead Reckoning, Bashing Buccaneers, The Man Behind the Mystery, Where the Dark is Deepest, Poaching the Poachers, A Shady Alliance
Exact same concept as E.Fleet. All quests are kill quests.
You don't really need to deal with the boss's mechanics perfectly, since there are so many people killing them. Just don't stand in the fire
Mysterious Man spawns after 9 boss kills, just like Poharan
Takes about 30 minutes with a group. May take longer if you wait on Mysterious Man to spawn.
