How To Get Best Loot From A Great Vault

The Great Vault is the name for Shadowlands reworked and expanded Weekly Chest system. Unlike the previous versions of this system, it can potentially let players choose from a diverse range of weekly rewards. The breadth of choice depends on the individual player’s participation in various high-end PvE and PvP activities. The quality of reward options is mostly determined by the challenge level of those activities. There are also several ways to improve your odds of getting a useful and suitable item every week. With so many variables in play and some of the strongest gear in the game on the line, it is important to read up first if you want to make the most of this valuable opportunity.

You can access the vault in the Hall of Holding on the main level of Oribos. After every Tuesday reset, you will be able to receive one reward there, provided you have met any of the requirements during the preceding week. Those requirements include killing raid bosses in Castle Nathria, completing Mythic Keystone dungeons, and earning Honor by taking part in ranked PvP matches. If you complete more than one objective, you will get to choose one out of several random prizes, for a maximum of nine options. Each objective type provides different types of gear related to the activity you completed. Additionally, it should be noted that collecting your first Great Vault reward would finish a quest that grants you a Runecarving Power specific to your class and used in Legendary crafting.

How to unlock raid rewards

To unlock the three raid gear options, you will need to vanquish three, seven, and ten bosses respectively. The quality of the offered items will depend on the maximum difficulty level at which you achieved those goals that week. For example, if you defeat all bosses in the Normal version of the raid and only three bosses in the Heroic version, you will get a choice of two Normal quality items and one Heroic quality item. The random pool for raid gear will always include loot from the first eight bosses in the castle, but gear from the last two bosses will only be available to the players who killed those specific enemies. It should be worth the effort, however, as their items are always several levels higher than the loot from the other bosses. On Mythic difficulty, they can go up to 233.

How to unlock mythic + rewards

Completing one, four, and ten Mythic Plus dungeons will fulfill the requirements for adding the Mythic loot to your options. Note that you do not have to beat the dungeon’s timer for it to count for the purposes of those requirements. The quality of items you can receive will depend on the lowest maximum Mythic dungeon level in each of those target brackets. This means that if you beat one dungeon at a maximum level of +15, three at +7 or +6, and six at +4 or +3, you will have access to the items appropriate for +15, +6, and +3 dungeons (with respective item levels of 226, 210, and 203). Conquering additional Mythic Plus dungeons at higher levels will bump up your brackets, as they always apply to your top ten dungeons in that week.

How to unlock PvP rewards

The Honor milestones for the PvP objectives are 1250, 2500, and 6250 points. Only Honor earned through taking part in ranked PvP activities, such as Rated Battlegrounds or 2v2 or 3v3 Arenas, will count towards those goals. Your highest rating bracket for the week will straightforwardly determine all PvP reward levels. The Elite rank – achieved at a rating of 2400 or higher – will give you the possibility of obtaining gear on par with the best spoils of the Castle Nathria raid. This can include Conquest gear, allowing you to save on that more precious currency. As with all PvP gear, you will be able to upgrade those rewards with Honor regardless of its source.

Conclusion

To sum up, if you want to ensure the best possible spread of reward options, you will want to participate in all of the above activities at the highest difficulties for PvE and with the best win-loss ratio for PvP. However, it is important to remember that the rewards are random, so there is no guarantee that any of your options will be something you really want. You can further improve your chances of getting desirable choices by selecting the right Loot Specialization. Defeating the world boss and completing the bonus events for the week will help you avoid duplicates.

However, even if you ultimately decide not to accept any of the prizes that end up in your vault after the reset, you can still get something useful out of the system by replacing your reward with one of the Orbs filled with Anima or Stygia. You can donate the Anima to your Covenant, helping you update your Soulbind’s bonuses (among other things). Meanwhile, Stygia will be the currency you need to purchase certain unique goods from Ve’nari in the Maw. Although high-level items will usually be the better option, having the freedom to choose between several useful options is the cornerstone of this new approach to weekly rewards.
