The First is a special difficulty for Thaemine. It is available from April 20th, 2024 (10 AM PT / 5 PM UTC) to October 30th, 2024.[1]
It features 2 gates (Gate 3 and 4 in Hard mode) in their original unnerfed difficulty.
To enter The First players must clear Thaemine Hard Gate 4 beforehand and be at item 1630 or above.
Each roster can enter the raid once every 2 weeks, with gate progress bound to the character that cleared the first gate. Remaining gates can be progressed only on the difficulty level that was cleared.
When a Gate has been cleared, players can reset the progress by using the 'Gate Reset' feature. When a Gate is reset, all progress on Gate 1 is reset and the player can either select a different difficulty and try the raid again, or players can enter the raid with a different character.
Kakul-Saydon, Brelshaza, and Akkan feature a practice/special mode, an easier version of the raid where players can practice the mechanics of the raid.
Practice and Normal/Hard Modes share a weekly lockout per character. A character that clears Practice Mode first will not be able to do Normal/Hard Mode that week. Each Practice Mode can be done once per roster per week.
Once a player has completed Normal/Hard Mode in a given week they can no longer clear Pratice Mode that week on any character.
Doing Normal/Hard Mode first will grant the rewards that would have been obtained in Pratice Mode, in addition to all of the Normal/Hard Mode rewards.

Extreme Mode[]
The Extreme version of a Legion Raid has the same mechanics as Inferno difficulty but without the normalized gear.
Players can enter through the Legion Raid entry UI by clicking the 'Extreme' button, and the corresponding Party Finder sections have been added to the UI.
Each roster can enter the raid once every 2 weeks, with gate progress bound to the character that cleared the first gate. Remaining gates can be progressed only on the difficulty level that was cleared.
When a Gate has been cleared, players can reset the progress by using the 'Gate Reset' feature. When a Gate is reset, all progress on Gate 1 is reset and the player can either select a different difficulty and try the raid again, or players can enter the raid with a different character.
First-time-clear rewards are given upon clearing all gates, along with rewards on each clear or reclear. Gold can be obtained regardless of the character being designated to earn Gold or not upon clearing. Reward opportunity resets every 2 weeks.
Extreme Valtan is available on the following weeks:
February 7th, 2024 (after maintenance) - February 21st, 2024 (before maintenance)
