MeadhallA softres.it alternative: soft reserve inside your raid events
softres.it is the standard sheet for soft reserves in Classic. Meadhall puts soft reserve on the raid event itself, next to who signed up, the loot log and the guild's points, so a raid's reserves, roster and drops are in one place.
What softres.it does well
A raid leader makes a sheet for one or more raids and shares its link; raiders open it, give their character and pick their soft reserves, usually two or three. It also does hard reserves (items set aside, with class or spec limits and notes), bonus reserves for chosen players, locking a sheet during the raid, an edit log, and copy-paste export to Gargul, LootReserve and WeakAuras for use in game. It covers the Classic versions: Era, Season of Discovery, Burning Crusade and Mists of Pandaria.
For a pick-up group, where raiders aren't in one guild, a link anyone can open is hard to beat.
Where Meadhall is different
| Meadhall | softres.it | |
|---|---|---|
| Soft reserves | 1 or 2 per raider, set by an officer per event | Usually 2 or 3, set per sheet |
| Picking items | From the raid's loot list, by boss, where Battle.net has one; typed for the rest | From the raid's loot list |
| Hard reserves, bonus reserves | No | Yes |
| Export to Gargul or LootReserve | No | Yes |
| Who can reserve | Members of your guild or raid team (sign in with Discord) | Anyone with the link |
| Tied to sign-ups | Yes: the reserves sit on the raid event people signed up to | A separate sheet |
| When an item drops | The loot form marks who reserved it; the drop goes in the loot log | Rolled for in game |
| DKP, EPGP or loot council | Yes, for raids that don't use soft reserve | No |
| Retail | Yes, and the Classic versions and WoW Forever | Classic versions |
| Discord bot | Sign-ups, points, loot and lockouts from Discord | A bot for making sheets; Raid-Helper links to it too |
softres.it details are from its own site and Method's guide to it, as read on 4 October 2026; its own site is the final word.
Which to use
- A pick-up group, or you rely on Gargul or LootReserve: softres.it is the better fit.
- A guild or raid team that raids together: Meadhall keeps reserves with the sign-ups and the loot log, so you can see over weeks who reserved what and who received it, and switch to DKP, EPGP or loot council for the raids where that suits better.
What it costs
Raid teams of up to 10 are free, soft reserve included. A raid team of up to 30 is £3 a month and a guild of up to 300 is £5; members never pay. See pricing.
