Many quests can be finished more quickly and safely with the help of a good group. Groups allow you to go places that
you would otherwise not be able to go by yourself.
Group finding Options
Looking for Group Interface
The Looking For Group interface provides the best method for finding other players. Depending on your selection, either the "Looking for Group" or the "Looking for More" interface can be used. Both interfaces have tabs at the bottom that let you easily switch between the two. The Looking for Group interface allows individual players to be added to a queue of other eligible players looking for a group and matches them up based on preferences they have set. The Looking for More option allows for a group to search out additional members to complete a group.
Who
Type /who or hit O and then click on the Who tab. At the top of the window you will find a check
box for "I would like to join a group". Place a check in this box. Now whenever people search for
players they will see "looking" under the party header next to your name. They may invite you to
join a group. You will likely find that asking in the general channel will get better results but
it doesn't hurt to try.>
Ask For Groups in Popular Areas
Sometimes it's good to start asking for a group in areas where players hang out. Main cities
such as Stormwind are a good place to ask.
Guilds
Guilds are a great source of help. You should consider joining a guild because you might have an easier time
getting help and finding groups. This of course depends on the quality of the guild you join. If
it doesn't work out, leave the guild and find another one!
Meet Up On Site
Sometimes after traveling to a quest location you might find players already there. Ask them if they
want to team up. For collection quests (collect x skins) people might not want to team, but for other
quests, people will often like help. Give it a try. If you have two parties, see if you can merge
the parties into one group!
Finding More Party Members
Once you have several members in your party you can continue to ask for members in the general
channel (as long as it is not spammed) or you can use the who system to find out what players are
not grouped in the same zone. You can send a private message to those players and ask them if
they want to team up. Be aware that some players consider this rude and may not respond.
These tips should help you have an easier time finding groups. Party on!
