If you haven’t gotten a look at the upcoming Siege of Orgrimmar raids on the Patch 5.4 PTR yet, you’ve got at least one more chance to do so before the update goes live.  On September 3rd and 4th, several raid encounters will be open at specific times for focused testing on the Public Test Realm:

Tuesday, September 3

Galakras – 25 Player Heroic
10:30 PDT (13:30 EDT, 19:30 CEST)

Malkorok – 25 Player Heroic
13:30 PDT (16:30 EDT, 22:30 CEST)

Paragons of the Klaxxi – 25 Player Heroic
16:00 PDT (19:00 EDT, 01:00 CEST)

Wednesday, September 4

Sha of Pride – 25 Player Heroic
10:30 PDT (13:30 EDT, 19:30 CEST)

Spoils of Pandaria – 25 Player Heroic
13:30 PDT (16:30 EDT, 22:30 CEST)

Thok the Bloodthirsty – 25 Player Heroic
16:00 PDT (19:00 EDT, 01:00 CEST)

The design team’s own Watcher reminds players that test times may change or be cancelled and bosses may be removed or added to the schedule depending on bugs or server issues, as is the status quo for any beta environment.  Updates, if any, can be found on the PTR Forums or in the official thread for this week’s raid testing.

In order to access the test raids, players must have the 5.4 PTR installed and patched and a level 90 character copied over.  The entrance portal may be found at the bottom of a staircase descending into the exposed foundation of Mogu’shan Palace (located in the northeastern part of Vale of Eternal Blossoms).  There are no gear requirements, as player equipment will be scaled to the appropriate item level once inside the raid environment to ensure a larger and more diverse testing pool.
