Delves are the best thing that happened to WoW in a long time. Takes forever to kill each mob, but you're not forced to play with people whose company is cancer that no one would ever choose, and you get decent rewards.

[@mfo6892]

Agree 100%! I love them and want to see more!

Yep and follower dungeons. If they had just added good gear to follower dungeons, they wouldn't have needed delves

I'm surprised every time I hear about toxicity in WoW because I just played LoL for the last year and a half and this game is refreshing comparatively.

[@vautourguy]

Agreed, also love that you don't loose your Coffer keys if you cant finish for whatever reason.

[@kylec3150]

Agreed. I believe mythic raiding should always be the highest challenge for the highest gear. Followed by high mythic+ dungeons. I love the option for peeps like me who are married, have kids, work full time, and don't have the time to dedicate to that. A personal challenge I can do on my own time. I guess I've been lucky. For the most part every run is a piece I need. I did something like 20 delves on my main, and I have champion gear for all but my cloak. For a while I was like i guess it has to give gear that is an upgrade for a slot that isn't at that level. I think I have only received 6-8 pieces that were duos that I just had to vend. Though whenever I get that map the delve I got to seems to always drop the same armor or weapon type. If I use a key it will be gloves and the free 610 piece will also be gloves. Yeah delves need some tuning, but it's supposed to be end game content for heroic equivalent raiding. It shouldn't be too easy.

[@redfieIdx]

It's so nice that solo players have gearing options. I prefer group content but I've taken a step back from it for now because it's particularly toxic out there right now.

As a solo player, wow has never been this good in my opinion. And giving us some higher level gear, makes open world and solo activities more fun.

[@COOLAUSTINO]

Wow is in such a good place imo, I haven’t played since legion but I’ve gotten a handful of friends to join up as new players and they’ve been engaging with every kind of content available, and having a blast doing it all. I think that satisfying both a veteran like me and new players in both solo and group content is pretty impressive.

[@Meami_ami]

Prob the best gearing system in years . Helps the solo people and rewards the people doing the hard keys +9 and up

[@WeaselDancingTime]

The only downside to delves for me so far is the duplicate gear drops. If they added and end of run option to trade it for coins or progress this would be fixed.

[@mothman84]

Duplicate drops are to be expected. Sure, when you get the special map for a bonus drop, and then you drop same slot items from both coffers, or even _the very same item from both coffers,_ that's uncool as only Blizzard devs can be uncool. These guys, you've got to understand them, they have awful sex lives, they need to share their misery with us...

Not sure if you mentioned in the video, but once you equip at least Champion track (I think) gear in all slots you get an achievement which then lets you trade weathered crests for runed.

tip for everyone seeking Crafted Gear! have the gear made in public with rank 1 mats, you can then get it RECRAFTED for less rank 3 Mats. it's way more affordable than getting it rank 5 outright, so if you got your own toons that can craft it you'll only need to seek someone for the recraft.

You can also do the PVP weekly quest from the PVP NPC named Ruffious in Dornagal gathering 100 sparks from disturbed dirt piles in different zones for a piece of 593 champion gear. Do it outside of peak hours and there's a good chance you never even see any PVP.

[@Telindra]

Delves are marvelous. Especially as a returning player, that has had massive health issues during some of the past couple of years. Essentially stopping me from playing previously, for a long time. Things that have been affecting my executive function skills in a bad way & leading to brain fog (I'm on the recovery journey since more than a year now). So these delves? PERFECT environment for me to slowly rehabilitate, and get my brain accustomed to everything regarding mechanics, awareness, handle keybinds, cooldowns etc again. It is absurd the contrast itself, as I used to be a mythic raider and m+ player, not being limited really. To barely handling Delves on teir 7. Slightly under geared, though. But last week? I had issues with 5's. So I am noticing that I am improving, and honestly? World content wouldn't provide the right type of challenge, and getting into a bit more challenging group content would've been misery. Not only for me feeling bad about the s*it state my ability as a player is in. But also bad for the others, having to carry - which wouldn't truly offer much opportunity to practice/rehabilitate either. If I am just getting an easy mode through others. I know most who enjoys Delves, or find them a nice addition to the game. Won't be in my position. As it is quite different from what most players would be dealing with. But as someone who has basically suffered brain damage. And is trying to recover from that, these Delves are a Godsend. I doubt I would've picked up WoW again if this type of solo play hadn't been there as an option.

[@tremas3329]

I like to triple up on Awakening The Machine. Can choose it for the WS Weekly, the Machine quest itself, and the wax guy in Ringing Depths also gives a quest for it, i think all can give a key + the gear you get. Edit: For the flying around to get the weathered crests, it seems the zones that have active World Soul events that use the Radiant Echo's have an increased spawn rate for the orbs you fly through. Havent tested it myself, but has been noted by some guildies.

[@STAerialSolutions]

Another thing. You can win 1 random battleground, you'll get a quest to turn in and get 9 of the PVP crafting sigil things. Use those to make 2 rings and a necklace 610 ilvl.

[@Ithekro]

The gearing from Delves reminds me of when they added LFG for Heroic Dungeons in Wrath during the Tournament (Tier 9) allowing relatively low level guilds and unorganized solo players to get badge gear. It was enough to allow these groups to get motivated to take on Arthus when T10 came about. CATA's heroics difficulty sort of cramped those groups again, but MoP, WoD, and Legion was suitable for those groups again. Dragonflight and War Within seem idea for solo players and low numbers guilds.

[@_MrTV]

I was a part of a high level guild way back in the day and got tired of all the bs that came with it. I’ll never go back to group play but will queue up for instances.

It´s pretty much mysterious. I completed the heroic raid this week, it took me coordination with 20 other players, devotion, dedication and suffering through hours of tough content and a dozen wipes. This feat gets me 610 gear in the vault.

Beside the Tier-Set there is absolutely no reason anymore to even visit a raid

[@Hauke-ph5ui]

That is the wrong approach. The reason to do a raid should never be just to get gear but to spend time playing the game with your friends. Way too many people forget that spending a fun time in the game is the real reason for playing, not gathering some higher pixel numbers on a screen. Which will be worthless anyway when the next content patch drops because that'll introduce higher item level gear.

It’s going to literally go very soon in the near future to being a SoRPG because how are you going to make group content more favorable than doing it solo ?

[@neptune7426]

Delves are my biggest burden when lvling my alt - I love group content and it’s the reason why I play an mmo

[@funtik0609]

Finally solo players can get some good stuff too ☺️

[@erikbentz2500]

This was really a trade off where the made champion/hero track gear MUCH easier to access while at the same time restricting the top tier crests/Myth track gear significantly. Lesser players benefit, top players are unaffected, upper middle players get gut-punched.

[@trancer03]

Personaly i have reached the limit of what a season provides for casual players. I have 3 characters around 610 and 610 is like the "softcap". Now its a slow process of getting to 619 with weekly vault rewards and 2 runed crests per tier 8 delve run and it taking 15 runed crests for upgrading a single item by 3 levels between 610 and 619.

[@drewtabori8447]

Solo players pay their subs too, so good for them for finally having a chance to gear up at the same rate as the rest of us. I actually don't care how people get their gear, it doesn't affect my gameplay so let everyone enjoy WoW however they choose to play instead of hamstringing them.

[@zometthecomet]

I have been having a blast getting my ilvl up to 616 without having to group up and do M+ at all! 😅 Sorry guys but y’all have made that scene toxic asf and it’s about time we have another way to get ilvl with out being subjected to that shit

[@CatcherMorningstar]

All delve gear stats sucks for me except the cloak and trinket

[@MsAudities]

Absolutely loving the fact I can solo. I've always really disliked raids, esp the way they used to be. Some of us just prefer to do things by ourselves (and with our alt army). Honestly, imo they've really hit it out of the park with The War Within (and possibly Dragonflight, I missed most of that xpac sadly). I haven't enjoyed the game this much since Legion. (and I've been playing since Burning Crusade. I would have played vanilla but I was still addicted to Everquest at the time lol)

[@magnuskno]

Of course this means farming bountiful delves *a lot*, just to get some crests and a 4% chance at a map. I'm now at 601 item lvl and four set pieces after doing lvl 8 delves for two weeks, LFR and weeklies (including the timewalking Black Temple), after being out of the country until ten days ago. That's good enough to change to slow advancement, i.e. professions and just doing four bountifuls and the necessary weeklies to do those, and maybe raise some twinks. Or do other stuff, I got about eight other games on the backburner asking for attention right now. Just the thrill of "higher number" isn't really worth putting in daily grinds in WoW, IMO.

[@Odyssey636]

huh lol i reached like 607 from my bountifuls and now im 610 from normal and heroic raid. It gives you a 606 piece every time almost. so unless u got duplicates like 4 times lol

[@magnuskno]

@@Odyssey636 Yeah, I'm okay with having a decent ilvl (600-610 is enough for casual play, IMO) and then taking it easy, at 49 years of age I got a lot of other stuff on my plate. Still got the twinks, get loremaster or transmog from old raids if I want to put serious time into WoW for a while and the patch cycle is quick enough these days that new content is coming out at a very decent rate.

[@UltimateGamerCC]

once you cap your gear into Hero rank you can then use your Vault to give you some Crests to upgrade those pieces.

[@Torrance92]

I just do everything being solo, 6/8hc, 2k in m+, did a tier 10 now attempting to get a deathless 11,I've always been a solo player so it's really like really easy now, never been in a guild too

[@armagedoc66]

The good thing is nearly every class can do a higher ilvl delve even if it takes much more time.

[@largejo822]

Another great video. Thanks Salami!

[@Kotosuatz]

The Runed Crests drop from any tier 8 delves not just bountiful so you can farm them for upgrading the hero gear you get from delve bounties

[@nabelius3771]

This last shield drop XD i feel your pain...

[@joaogomes2043]

Amazing video!

[@Raxerm]

I understand why solo content exists, but I've actually had a very pleasant time doing random heroic pugs. Either people say nothing, or they've been kind.

[@EnProto]

Delves are a huge W

[@akaraven66]

You can get crests from non-bountiful T8 delves. There is also a small chance to see the higher crests from T11.

[@NoOne1x]

It should be higher % to get high ilvl items from delves 9/10/11. It would be stupid if the only reward is some achievement...

[@Ecliptor.]

@@NoOne1x It really is just achievements, though.

[@element7202]

Didn’t know that about the orbs wow thanks

[@jacksonhunnicutt4231]

very needed video

[@moo1253]

I have been an on and off player since BC and I think it is about time they gave more to solo players. Played all of BFA, then called it a day for the next 2 EXP's because I grew sick and tired of elitist attitudes, either directed at me or someone else in the group. Even the social guild I ran, turned into a bunch of elitist idiots who would bicker and moan about certain other members not being up to their standard. This new EXP is a much-welcomed addition to WoW IMO.

[@Xandara]

Great video! Thanks!!!

[@stevengrabbert]

I love the the TWW addon. I work 9hours a day, going to the gym etc. and iam able to play the game without falling miles behind. That was the problem with the old dlcs and that’s why I quit wow 3 years ago

[@loatwec]

Great video, I only have one concern and one video idea for you. The concern is you did not mention valor stones at all in the video and they are a real pain in the ass to get, at least for me. I see you are caped so maybe I missed a video on how to farm those easily. The video idea is something I do not see anyone talking about. Basically when I finish a tier 8 delve I do not get progress on my weekly vault sometimes. For example right now column one and two are tier 8 and column 3 is tier 7. I ran two different tier 8 delves and the column 3 stayed at tier 7. Even though I completed and did not even die once. Either there are hidden mechanics at play, or the system is bugged and no one is talking about it. Or I am missing something else. Anyway if anyone has any wisdom on either topic please let me know.

[@cordiquasso]

remember you need 2/4/8 tier 8 delve runs to get tier 8 gear in vault slot 1/2/3 respectively

[@iCipher]

if you do world quests and do delves and dungeons and raids valorstones are easy

[@Vondaelen]

I'm always capped on valor stones and I mostly do bg blitz or battlegrounds. Not even sure what to use them on anymore.

[@loatwec]

@@cordiquasso Right my understanding is you need to do 8 Delves to unlock column 3. I certainly hope you are not suggesting I need to do 8 tier elves to go from tier 7 to tier 8 as that would be a living nightmare and not make any sense. That is certainly what I would call a hidden mechanic because once you have unlocked column 3 it just says to do "a" level 8 or higher delve to unlock tier 8.

[@cordiquasso]

@@loatwec you need 8 deleves level 8 to have all 3 gv slots at level 8. it is always the lowest tier for gv

[@MikeChabot]

Whats your sword transmog 🙌🏽

You are the Best ! Thank you 🙏
