Who we are
A blog run out of a Smith Street sharehouse
ScarletRaidWarriors started in 2019 as a Discord for six mates grinding endgame raids after work. Today we're a five-person editorial crew covering PC and console play from our Collingwood studio, with a reader community of 40,000 across Australia and New Zealand.
We buy the gear we review with our own money, log every raid pull, and never run sponsored verdicts. If a headset rattles or a patch breaks a build, you'll read it here first.
How we work
Every guide is cleared before it's published
No theory-crafting from a spreadsheet. Our writers clear each encounter on the hardest available difficulty, then record the pull that finally worked so you can copy the exact positioning, timings and cooldowns.
Hardware reviews run a minimum two-week daily-driver test, benchmarked against gear we already own so scores actually mean something.

Frequently asked
Everything about how we test, publish and work with the community. Still stuck? The contact form below reaches an actual editor.
Is the content free to read? +
Yes — every guide and review is free with no paywall. We keep the lights on through a small optional membership that removes ads and unlocks the raw pull footage, but nothing essential is locked away.
How do you choose which games to cover? +
We follow what our community is actively raiding, weighted toward titles with hard PvE endgame content. Reader requests in the Discord carry real weight — if enough people are grinding something, we assign a writer to it.
Can I pitch a guest guide? +
Absolutely. We run two to three guest pieces a month and pay a flat AU$150 per accepted guide. Send us the encounter, your clear proof and a rough outline through the contact form and an editor will get back within a week.
Do you accept products for review? +
We'll test review units, but the terms are firm: no editorial approval, no guaranteed score, and we disclose the loan clearly at the top of the piece. If a brand can't agree to that, we buy the product ourselves instead.
Where are you based? +
Our studio is at 64 Smith Street in Collingwood, Melbourne. It's a working office, not a shopfront, so drop us an email before visiting. Most reader contact happens through the form below or our Discord.
