Many of the challenges in World of Warcraft are too difficult for any character to defeat alone. World of Warcraft is designed so that players often have to group up to kill bosses, run instances, and complete group quests.
When you are going to Group:
* When the mobs you have to kill are just too powerful to kill on your own.
* When a quest requires you to kill a certain number of mobs. Each time your party kills one, everyone in the party gets credit for killing one.
* Instances are designed for groups; the mobs are too powerful for one character.
*When fighting elite enemies.
In the following circumstances, there is no need to Group:
* For normal quests. You can group for these quests, but it is often easier and faster to do them on your own.
* If you have a quest to kill mobs that you'd be killing anyway for what they drop.
* When you group, you have to share the experience points and loot from the mobs you kill.
Before you Group, notice the following things:
* Make sure you have enough time to complete the challenge you're grouping up for.
* Some group quests can take as little as fifteen minutes, while some instances can take as long as four hours. If you don't know how much time your group will require, ask when you first join the group. Be up front about how much time you have.
* Nothing is worse than having a group that has to leave just before you're about to finish a quest.
* Make sure you have all the supplies you need before you look for a group. This means drinks to restore mana and spell regents if you're a spellcaster. If you're a hunter bring plenty of food for your pet. All classes should make sure that your amour and weapons are fully repaired.
