Building for Warcraft: Forever · launches November 4, 2026
Logs first.
Ego last.
Structured, competitive & fun raiding. Distilled is an elite two-nights-a-week raiding guild with an AI officer, forming now for World of Warcraft: Forever. We raid Tuesday and Thursday, play together on Sunday, and keep Friday and Saturday for our lives.
Who we are
A small guild that takes the numbers seriously and itself lightly.
The first Distilled earned Cutting Edge in Shadowlands. Light re-founded it in September 2026 with Aurelius, an AI officer that says so. The idea is the same one that earned the first Cutting Edge: a fixed twenty who show up prepared, read their own logs, and fix one thing every week. That is how a two-night guild keeps pace with four-night guilds.
Light is the Guild Master and co-leads the guild with Aurelius, an AI officer built by BenchAGI. Three human officers each own a role: Tank Lead, Healer Lead, and DPS Lead. Aurelius reads every log the night it is uploaded, posts the findings to the guild, and sends each raider a private review after every raid.
There is no ego in it. The log says what happened. We decide what to do about it.
An AI officer in the guild
The officer who reads every log and never sleeps.
Aurelius is the first AI guild officer in World of Warcraft that says so. It is not a bot that posts parses. It reads the whole night the way a good officer would, then talks to each raider privately and to the roster in public.
- Reads every Warcraft Logs upload the night it lands.
- Posts nightly findings to the guild, in the open.
- Sends each raider a private review with one thing to fix.
- Audits gear, enchants, gems, vault, and consumables weekly.
- Loads the boss prep and MRT note before pull one.
- Sits in the Raid voice channel for questions.
- Screens applications within a day, then hands off to a human.
Humans make the calls. Roster, loot, and strategy are decided by the Guild Master and the role leads. Aurelius brings the evidence.
Reads every log the night it lands
Deaths in order, what was avoidable, who potted, who did not. Percentiles as context, never as verdicts.
Sends you a private review
One page, one thing to fix, with the evidence. Never a wall of numbers, never posted in public.
Audits your gear and prep weekly
Enchants, gems, vault, consumables, wishlist. You get a short list before Tuesday, not a lecture after.
Preps the boss before pull one
Prep doc, assignments, and the MRT note loaded into the addon. The roster walks in knowing the plan.
Sits in voice
Class, strat, and logistics questions in the Raid channel. It says it is an AI and it answers like an officer.
Screens applications within a day
Your public logs and profile, read the way an officer would. Then a human officer talks to you on Discord.
Schedule
Three nights together. Two of them count.
All times Mountain. Raid nights start at 7 PM sharp; invites go out at 6:45 PM. Sunday is optional, and it is the best night of the week.
7 PM–10 PM
7 PM–10 PM
7 PM–10 PM
Ranks
Every rank is earned. None of them are permanent.
Main Raider is the rank that matters. Sixteen seats: the twenty Mythic slots minus the Guild Master and three officers. It is kept by showing up.
Guild Master Light
Sets direction, owns the roster, breaks ties.
Officers Tank Lead · Healer Lead · DPS Lead
Each owns their role's assignments, prep, and feedback. Aurelius, the AI officer, owns logs, findings, and reviews.
Main Raider Secured seat · capped at 16
A secured seat, earned. Sixteen seats: the twenty Mythic slots minus the Guild Master and three officers, so every secured seat is a raid seat. Kept by being prepared and on time; lateness is read from logs.
Raider Rotation · bench
Raids when the composition needs you. First in line for a Main Raider seat, and seats open.
Trial 2–4 weeks · about 6 nights
Raid with us, get a private review after every night, and then we both decide.
Support Crafters · M+ · social
Crafters, Mythic+ helpers, and social members. Sunday is their night too, with the same coaching as raiders.
Perks of being a member
What you get for showing up.
Most of this exists because an officer who reads every log and never sleeps can do things a human officer cannot. The rest is how we choose to run.
Your own AI officer
After every raid Aurelius sends you a private review: what killed you, what you ate that you shouldn't have, whether you potted, your parse in context, and the one thing to fix before next raid.
Exclusive tech and add-ons
Tools built for this guild and nobody else: the Distilled addon, the combat-log companion, a members-only app with your own data, and an officer who reads every log.
A personal prep plan
Weekly gear, enchant, gem, and vault audit, a consumables checklist, and a wishlist that stays current. You show up ready without running a spreadsheet.
Boss prep done for you
Prep doc, assignments, and the MRT note loaded into the addon before the pull.
Two nights, taken seriously
Tuesday and Thursday, 7–10 PM Mountain, on time, logged, no wasted pulls. Friday and Saturday are yours.
Sunday guild night
Keys with support players, alt content, teaching, trials. The night that makes the roster better.
Seats you keep by showing up
A Main Raider seat is yours while you're prepared and on time. Lateness is measured from logs, not from who complains loudest.
Loot council that explains itself
Wishlists plus RCLootCouncil; decisions explained on request.
Nightly findings, in the open
Every raid night gets a written read; your private page keeps your own trend line.
An officer in voice
Aurelius is in the Raid channel for class, strat, and logistics questions.
A guild with a record
Cutting Edge in Shadowlands. Rebuilding to be there on day one of Forever.
The support layer is real
Crafters, key runners, and socials get Sunday and the same coaching as raiders.
How we raid
The log is the truth.
Nobody argues with a timestamp.
Every claim about a pull comes with the fight, the time, and the comparison. Percentiles are context, not verdicts. A 40 parse on a night where you soaked every mechanic is a good night.
Every pull is logged
We upload every raid. If it is not in Warcraft Logs, it did not happen.
Nightly findings
After each raid Aurelius posts what killed us, in what order, and what changes on the next pull.
Personal reviews
Every raider gets a private review after every raid: one thing to fix, with the evidence.
Prep before pull one
Flask, food, potions, augment rune, enchants, gems, weapon buff, talents per boss. Checked, not assumed.
Loot council
Gear goes where it kills the boss fastest: performance, attendance, upgrade size, in that order. The council states its reasons.
On time means on time
Three late arrivals over five minutes past start in a season and a Main Raider seat goes back into rotation. Counted from the log, not memory.
Questions
The things people ask before they apply.
Looking for a WoW guild with an AI officer, an AI raid leader, or a Classic+ guild recruiting for Warcraft: Forever? This is the page.
What is a guild with an AI officer?
Distilled runs with a human Guild Master, three human role leads, and Aurelius, an AI officer built by BenchAGI. Aurelius reads every Warcraft Logs upload, posts nightly findings, sends each raider a private review, audits gear and prep weekly, and sits in voice on raid night. Humans still make the calls: roster, loot, and strategy are decided by people.
Is the AI raid leader actually calling the raid?
No. A human calls pulls, mechanics, and cooldowns. Aurelius prepares the plan, loads the note, and reviews the result. Think of it as the officer who never misses a log, not a voice barking assignments.
What is Warcraft: Forever and when does it launch?
World of Warcraft: Forever is Blizzard's permanent Classic+ mode: the vanilla foundation, level cap 60, with new zones, raids, and races released in phases. It launches November 4, 2026. Distilled is forming now so the roster is ready on day one.
When do you raid?
Tuesday and Thursday, 7–10 PM Mountain, starting on time. Sunday is guild night: keys with support players, alts, teaching, and trials. Friday and Saturday are yours.
Do I need logs to apply?
No, but they help. Paste the closest thing you have and tell us the story. Aurelius reads context, not just numbers, and a human officer follows up either way.
Is there a fee?
No. Seats are free. The price is preparation: flask, food, potions, enchants, gems, talents per boss, on time.
How fast will I hear back?
Aurelius screens within a day. An officer reaches out on Discord within a few days.
Who sees my application?
The Guild Master, the officers, and Aurelius. Applications land in a private officers channel. We only look at the public logs and profile links you give us.
Recruitment
Bring your logs.
We are building the launch-day roster for World of Warcraft: Forever. Raiders, support players, and Distilled alumni. If you are prepared, on time, and can take a note, we want to talk. 7–10 PM Mountain, Tuesday and Thursday.
