Mythic+ Madness

Mythic+ Madness is our weekly Friday event, bringing the community together for a night of dungeon diving, key pushing, and meeting new people! No matter your experience level, you’re welcome to jump in and join the fun.

We kick things off in the ⁠cream of the crop voice channel before splitting into groups based on the roles you’ve selected. After each run, we regroup, shuffle teams, and jump back in! Feel free to hop in and out throughout the night.

For our OCE friends, we also run OCE Madness at 5a ET—same fun, just at a more timezone-friendly hour!

This is a social event—the goal is to have fun, meet fellow players, and enjoy the madness. Keys of all levels are welcome, and we recommend running the lowest key in your group to keep things smooth.

• When: Every Friday night (OCE Madness at 5a ET)
• Gear requirement: 620+ ilvl
• Goal: Run keys, make friends, and have a blast!
• Join us: casual friday discord

Push Madness

Like our weekly Friday event, Push Madness uses the same Discord scramble bot to assemble teams for higher-level key pushing. In Push Madness, pushing with Casual Friday means you have 2,750+ rating, which generally requires timing every dungeon at +11/+12 or higher.

We gather in the event voice channel, split into groups based on selected roles, and run Mythic+ dungeons. After each team completes a run, we regroup in the event channel, scramble teams again, and jump back in.

During Push Madness, we recommend running a key that most of the group can gain IO from—within reason. If someone is freshly 2,750, pushing a +15 key might be too much. Clear communication and humility are key to making runs smooth. If things aren’t going well, don’t hesitate to call it, say “better luck next time,” and head back to the event voice channel to catch the next scramble. That said, there’s value in learning from tougher runs, so each group can decide whether to push through or reset

Boss Blitz

Teams are formed using a dodgeball-style snake draft, then set out to run +10 keys. The goal? Finish with the highest percentage of time remaining. Push your limits, strategize with your team, and see if you can claim the top spot!

Arr-Mazing Aspects

Join up and assemble into groups to farm Gilded crests.

Captain, My Captain

We use a dodgeball style draft to assemble teams. Want to deny a team a bloodlust? Then grab that last shaman! Want to hear about how teams had to face agonizing and bitter death without a battle rez? Pick that last death knight! Want an opposing team to have to dance around a lot more? Force them all into melee by choosing the last ranged DPS. Tanks or healers become captains for a dodgeball style draft to assemble teams to run keys at a certain key level. Winners at the end of the event get bragging rights and side bets are encouraged.

Captain Wee Captain

One of our best events for alts and our members that are just starting their Mythic+ journey. Like Captain, My Captain, Captain Wee Captain still utilizes a draft team building style. The biggest difference is that set a low item level limit for all participants. The lower item level ensures that the dungeons will not be utterly obliterated by higher item level players. This helps keep lower dungeons a little more challenging so new players and alts actually have time to learn, develop skills, and build confidence

Captain Push Captain

One of our Captain events, but push (2,750+) style! We assemble a raid group in-game and then /roll to figure out our captains in a dodgeball team style snake draft. Are you going to deny a team a brez or a lust? Are you going to grab that meta-slave Vengeance DH? The power is in your hands to manipulate your foes’ group comps while maximizing your own! Bragging rights goes to the team with the highest timed key!

Sunday Social

Every Sunday, we get together and run keys. Come hang out for a chill night of fun and M+ runs. Sign ups are based on the key bracket you’d be interested in running. The event captain does their best to get everyone in or around the levels they want to run. Groups will start forming up at event start and then run as long as the group wants to run for the night. All levels welcome, we always have a great range of keys to run. So whether you want to try out a new spec, gear up an alt, or finish up your weekly vault, come out for some social time on Sunday nights with us!

Monday Night Menagerie

The Monday night Menagerie is geared toward lower-mid range keys with the goal of teaching/learning while still giving higher level players the ability to farm crests. This is split into the crest ranges. We will roll this similar to madness, but we will then stick with the groups for a few runs and do the re-roll again.

Meta Events

Season of Madness

Step outside your comfort zone with Season of Madness, where RNGesus decides your fate! Sign up, and we’ll assign you a random spec—no duplicates allowed. Once you’ve got your spec, pick a character and jump into the action. Throughout the season, we’ll host events tailored for Season of Madness characters, giving you a chance to connect, improve, and have fun. Whether you’re mastering a new role or sharing tips with others, the community’s here to support you. Your goal? Climb the ladder and achieve the highest IO with your rolled spec.

Jolly Roger Jaunt

A 4 week Mythic+ event and contest to help its members hit 3,000 IO and beyond!  We’ll host many more events throughout the week to help members achieve their goals and run some keys!

Hasta La Vista Mythic+ Season

Hasta La Vista is our way of terminating the season, helping players make their final pushes before progression gets erased. Don’t get caught commando when the season ends by leaving points on the board for hitting Keystone Master (2,000 rating), Keystone Hero (2,500 rating), or unlock portals (timing a +10). You’ll be jingling all the way when our community members help you time dungeons while building your confidence and skillset in Mythic+. Participation is as easy as crushing your enemies and seeing them driven before you! All you have to do is join our Discord and choose which dungeons you need help on via the #hasta-la-vista channel!

Raiding

While Mythic+ is close to our hearts, raiding is a big part of the adventure too. There’s nothing like the chaos camaraderie of getting a big group together to slay bosses, chase achievements, and, of course, make fun of people who stand in fire gently remind them to stop standing in fire. You’ll find our regularly scheduled raids listed here, but we’re all about spontaneous, one-off groups too—because sometimes the best pulls are the unplanned ones.

At Casual Friday, we are all about world domination inclusivity and creating a non-toxic environment where people can play World of Warcraft. To help spread the word, we have created a partnership program with guilds, communities, and content creators around Azeroth. Our partnership program represents a curated list of communities and content to provide Casual Friday members the same experience they enjoy in our own community. You can see the list at any time in the casfri-partners channel of our discord.

To become a guild partner, we work directly with a guild’s leadership to make sure they understand what our community is about while we work with them to fully understand theirs. If our communities are compatible, we promote one of their trusted members to @community partner so they can manage a post in the ⁠casfri-partners channel. In turn, our guild partners set up a channel in their Discord to receive published posts from our ⁠events so their members can see when we are hosting Mythic+ events! Hopefully we provide them a venue to find more warm bodies intrepid adventurers for running dungeons while we provide them fresh meat new faces for raiding or to be a part of their guild/community.

To become a creator partner, we like to see a consistency in your content delivery (be it streaming to Twitch, posting YouTube videos, etc) and a concerted effort at creating a non-toxic environment. Bonus points if you are already regularly gathering groups of players to play together. As a creator partner, following our events channel with your own Discord is not a requirement. We figure Casual Friday is a great venue to find willing guinea pigs non-toxic people to play with so you can streamline your content production rather than slogging through group finder. In turn, we hope you occasionally plug our community in case your followers need a Mythic+ community in which to participate.

In the end, we want all of our communities to coexist as their own identities with the same end goal of creating non-toxic, friendly spaces for us to enjoy the game we’ve been playing for nearly two decades.
