    Shared raid lockout on10/25 vs. extending the saves

    Though I understand how sharing saves between 10 and 25 works, I wonder what about this situation (that might be common in terms of my guild):

    There are 5 bosses in the raid.
    We kill 3 bosses during our raids along the week on 25 man.
    We don't raid on Tuesday, and since I play on EU, Wednesday is the time for raid resets.

    We go as 10 man group in Tuesday and kill 4th and 5th.


    A raid leader of 25 man did not joined us for 10 man.
    He extends his lock for next week, hoping that would give us enough time to train and kill bosses that are left in 25 man.

    Can we (the whole 25 man raid including those that did additional run on 10 man) continue next week with on this extended lock?
    Possible answers come to my mind
    1. We can, cause saves are for bosses now, not for instances with IDs, and this 10 people would have to just accept being saved for 3 first bosses, in case of further kills on 25.
    2. Only these 15 people who did not went to 10 man can do that.


    Anyone tried that on live with ICC?

    I am pretty sure it is going to be option 1. Which makes the extending lockouts a lot more flexible IMO. I will give a definite answer when I get home and test it.

    We did ICC 25 through 9/12 this week, then I took a fresh toon in with some guildies and cleaned the rest up on 10 man.

    My main still has the 25 lockout 9/12, I'm pretty sure if I extend it on reset and am raid leader it will allow the other 25 folks the save to 9/12.

    Now with heroic modes this could get a lot more complex.

    I tried to extend an Ulduar ID for the weekly quest (XT this week, Ignis the last one on Garona-EU) and the raid wasn't able to take my ID. We had to do the Leviathan.

    Maybe I was doing something wrong, but it didn't work.

    Aside from wondering about it in general it actually might be applicable in my guild right now

    Pretty much the same situation, only we did 9/12 heroic in ICC 25, we gave Heroic PP more then few tries, and I wonder could some of us go in for 10man heroic to do some missing achievements for our drakes (most people don't have achis from heroic PP and Sindra, cause we don't do 10 mans in general, also killing LK on hero might be cool too, we never gotten to that).


    However in future, in Cata, if similar situation occured, guilds could keep few chars with extended lockouts for particular set of bosses, to just go and kill them when they please.
    25 downs 3 bosses, then 2x10 down the rest, then one of 5 people not participating in those 10 mans extend the lock, and voila - I killed that boss on Tuesday, oh wait, it's Wednesday and I didn't but don't don't have to waste time for those 3 I killed last week.


    @Ealyssa : shared lockout does not work in Ulduar, we only got nice interface feature, that shows what bosses were killed.
    However, extended lockout for Uld should work, as is did pre 4.0.1. Maybe you used extending feature while your raid was forming/someone was already inside the instance/you wasn't the raid leader. I any case, if you ever have problem with extending the lockout, disbanding the group and reforming as new one, where person with extended lock is a leader usually resolves all problems.
