Solist's Robe of Invocation

[Man0warr]

Velketor isn't contested, he's up half a day sometimes - a lot of the smaller guilds kill him.

How long does a typical raid there last?

[Daldaen]

Depends.

Tunare raids may require 6 hours.
A Kunark dragon like Talendor may die in 60 seconds.

They come in all shapes and sizes. Your typical armor farm raids in Hate, HoT, Kael, I'm guessing run 2-4 hours generally. Your typical boss raid runs about 5-10 minutes of pulling and killing the boss. There are clearly exceptions to these though.

[Vallanor]

A typical Velketor raid might take a half hour or so if everything goes smoothly. If you'd want to be seriously considered for winning the robe if it drops, you'd probably need to raid with the guild in question for a while though. There are a lot of max level wizards running around in raid guilds that would probably love to get their hands on one. If you're not really able to raid consistently, it might be tough to snag one.

If you don't port raids around expect to be a shit tier wizard

The 5-10 minutes of actual boss raid is also predicated by camping your character in or near the zone and waiting at character select for ~1-16 hours for the text message alert or wakeup shout in your voice comm application to log in for the boss raid.

Rend robe is nice for a lot of non raid situations too. Reeeeal mana saver. Got one my first week in <Forsaken> on the first day of Velious release. Wear it full time even though I got a robe w\ better stats and resist.

Join a smaller guild (if you play in Oz/NZ hours join Infernus) there are lots of smaller guilds that kill easier/smaller targets and you can experience raids and higher end loot, though it will never be high end gear - but you need a lot more playtime for that.
But you can easily get most epics/full thurgadin/fear armour from a small guild!
