Before Raid

Gearing

Tier 11 Bountiful Delves

  • Guaranteed Champion Track gear every run
  • Chance to upgrade to Hero Track based on your Delver's Journey level
  • Possible Hero Track Vendor at the end (costs delve currency)
  • Delves give Champion + Hero Crests for upgrading gear
  • First 3 Tier 11 delves each week reward Myth Crests
    • If gear is still upgrading, run all 6 bountiful delves weekly
    • Once upgrades slow down, run at least 3 for Myth Crests
  • Change Loot Spec: run delves in an easier spec (e.g., tank) while still receiving DPS loot
    • Set loot spec via right-clicking your portrait

Treasure Maps & Nemesis

  • Treasure maps grant an extra Hero Track piece on your next delve
  • Maps drop from delves or the season's Delve Nemesis
  • Nemesis can appear randomly or be forced using a Warband Item
    • Midnight S1 example: “Beacon of Hope”

Using Loot Wisely

Crests

  • Don't upgrade gear immediately in the first weeks
  • You'll get frequent upgrades — avoid wasting crests on pieces you replace

Great Vault Choices

  • Pick the item that is:
    1. Hardest to replace
    2. Hardest to acquire
    3. Best-in-slot or highly contested Example: “Gaze of the Alnseer” trinket (Midnight S1)
    4. Bonus Rolls — if you want many items from one boss and plan to bonus roll it, take the bonus roll instead of the item Note: Bonus-rolled items are removed from future roll pools
