How to Set Up Raid-Helper for MMO Guild Raids and Events
Raid-Helper is the sign-up bot most MMO guilds end up using: members pick their class and role on an event post, and everyone sees the time in their own time zone. Here is how to get it running in a guild Discord.
Before you start
- You need the Manage Server permission on your Discord (owners and admins have it).
- Make a channel for events, such as #raids or #events, so sign-ups don't get buried in chat.
- Decide who may create events: usually officers and raid leaders.
Add the bot
- Open raid-helper.dev and press the button to add it to Discord.
- Pick your server in the box Discord shows and press Continue.
- Review the permissions and press Authorize. It needs to read and post in your events channel.
- In Server Settings > Integrations > Raid-Helper, limit its commands to your officer roles if you don't want everyone creating events.
Post your first sign-up
- In your events channel, type / and choose Raid-Helper's create command.
- Pick a template that matches your game, or a general one, then set the title, date, time and a short description.
- Post it. Members sign up by choosing their class or role, and the post fills in as they do.
- Use the bot's web dashboard at raid-helper.dev to edit events, change templates and set reminders.
Tips from guilds that run raids every week
- Post recurring raids at the same time each week so people plan around them.
- Turn on reminders shortly before start time; they cut no-shows.
- Keep a bench or tentative option so leaders can see who might fill a gap.
- Pin a message that explains roles and sign-up rules.
