Who we are
Written by players, not press releases.
Phantom Raid Expedition started in 2018 as a guild wiki run out of a Fitzroy sharehouse. Today it is a full editorial crew of eight, still clearing content on live servers before we tell you which boss phase actually matters.
How we work
Every guide is playtested end to end.
No affiliate-driven scores, no early-access embargo fluff. We buy most of what we review, we timestamp our raid clears, and we publish the settings, specs and patch numbers so you can reproduce every result yourself.
