RaidBot provides an interactive creation flow that guides you through setting up different types of signups. Use the /create command to start.

​
Types of Signups

You can create several types of signups:

Raid Signups

Template-based raids like Dragonspyre, Lemuria, and Polaris

Museum Signups

Simple 12-player museum runs

Gold Key Boss

Team-based key boss runs (1-4 teams)

Challenge Mode

Team-based challenge dungeon runs

​
Creating a Raid

1

Start the creation flow

Run the /create command. You’ll see an interactive panel with dropdowns and buttons.
/create
This command requires the Manage Server permission.
2

Select the activity type

Choose from the dropdown menu:
  • Dragonspyre (Voracious Void) - Requires length and strategy selection
  • Lemuria (Ghastly Conspiracy) - Requires length selection
  • Polaris (Cabal’s Revenge) - Requires length selection
  • Museum Signup - Simple 12-player signup
  • Gold Key Boss - Team-based with customizable boss name
  • Challenge Mode - Team-based challenge dungeons
Once selected, the type is locked in and you’ll see additional options based on your choice.

Configure raid-specific options

Depending on the type you selected, you may need to configure:
Length (required): Choose between:
  • 1.5 hours
  • 3 hours
Strategy (Dragonspyre only): Choose between:
  • Triple Storm
  • 2 Myth 1 Storm
The strategy selection dynamically updates the role composition. For example, “2 Myth 1 Storm” changes the vanguard roles to include two Myth slots instead of three Storm slots.

Set the date and time

Click the “Set date/time” button. A modal will appear asking for the raid time.Enter a natural language time like:
  • tomorrow 7pm
  • friday at 8pm
  • next saturday 3pm EST
  • 2026-03-15 19:00
Or use a Unix timestamp:
  • 1741392000
RaidBot uses the chrono-node library for intelligent date parsing. It understands most natural language date formats and respects your server’s configured timezone.
If the time cannot be parsed, you’ll receive an error. Make sure to use clear, unambiguous time formats.

  • Boss/Dungeon name (if applicable)
  • Number of teams (if applicable)
  • Participation setting (if applicable)

Signup posted

The signup message is posted to the configured channel:
  • Regular raids → #raid-signups (or configured channel)
  • Museum → #museum-signups (or configured channel)
  • Key Boss → #key-signups (or configured channel)
  • Challenge Mode → #challenge-signups (or configured channel)
The bot will:
  • Add reaction emojis for each role/team
  • Create a discussion thread (if threads are enabled)
  • Generate a unique Raid ID
  • Update the bot presence to show active raids

​
Channel Configuration

By default, RaidBot looks for channels with these names:
  • raid-signups or raid signups
  • museum-signups or museum signups
  • key-signups, key signups, or key-boss
  • challenge-signups or challenge signups
If these channels don’t exist, use /setchannel to configure custom channels: 
/setchannel type:raid channel:#your-raid-channel
/setchannel type:museum channel:#your-museum-channel
/setchannel type:key channel:#your-key-channel
/setchannel type:challenge channel:#your-challenge-channel

​
Discussion Threads

When threads are enabled in your server settings, RaidBot automatically creates a discussion thread for each signup:
  • Thread name format: {Raid Type} - {Raid ID}
  • Example: Dragonspyre (Voracious Void) - ABC123
  • Auto-archive duration is configurable
  • Thread is archived when the raid is closed
Enable threads in your server with /settings threads:true to give each raid its own discussion space!

​
Best Practices

For key boss and challenge mode signups, always include the boss or dungeon name. This helps players quickly identify what they’re signing up for.Good examples:
  • Jabberwock (Gold Key)
  • Mount Olympus
  • Darkmoor Graveyard
If your server has members in different time zones, consider:
  • Setting a default server timezone in /settings
  • Mentioning the timezone in announcements
  • Using Discord’s timestamp format (automatically shown in each user’s local time)
  • 1.5 hours: Best for experienced groups who can complete quickly
  • 3 hours: Allows more time for newer players or challenging content
The length is displayed prominently in the signup embed as a badge.
For optional fun runs or practice sessions, disable participation tracking. This prevents the signup from affecting weekly participation requirements.For official guild raids, keep it enabled to track member activity.

​
Examples

Type: Dragonspyre (Voracious Void)
Time: tomorrow 7pm EST
Length: 3 hours
Strategy: Triple Storm

✅ Creates a 3-hour Dragonspyre raid with triple storm strategy
