The Great Vault Guide

The Great Vault is a weekly chest that provides you with 1 piece of loot every week, from a possible pool of up to 9 items.

Think of the Great Vault as a box you fill with items. The more activities you complete in the previous week, the more item choices you will unlock. However, you can only pick one item each week.

You can add more items to the weekly chest by defeating raid bosses, completing dungeons, and world activities such as Delves, Prey Hunts and World Events.

You can select one item from the Great Vault after the weekly maintenance in your region — on Tuesdays in North America, and Wednesdays in Europe.

With a new expansion, we get new item levels. Midnight includes an item squish that decreases item levels significantly from War Within. Here are the item levels players will see in Midnight Season 1:

• Adventurer Gear — Item Level 220-237.
• Veteran Gear — Item Level 233-250.
• Champion Gear — Item Level 246-263.
• Hero Gear — Item Level 259-276.
• Myth Gear — Item Level 272-289.

You can find the Great Vault in Silvermoon. The exact location will be marked on the map with an icon.

You will find the Great Vault in the Bank building, to the left of the banker NPCs. Here is what it looks like in the Midnight expansion.

The Great Vault has 9 slots. The more slots you unlock, the more options you will have when choosing your weekly reward.

The weekly chest is divided into three categories — Raids, Dungeons and World.

Below is a screenshot showing the current Great Vault requirements:

The item level of rewards in this category depends on raid difficulty. To unlock all three item choices, you need to:

• Defeat 2 bosses in the three raids of Midnight Season 1 - The Dreamrift, the Voidspire and March on Quel'Danas.
• Defeat 4 bosses in the three raids of Midnight Season 1 - The Dreamrift, the Voidspire and March on Quel'Danas.
• Defeat 6 bosses in the three raids of Midnight Season 1 - The Dreamrift, the Voidspire and March on Quel'Danas.

Defeating a later boss gives you a chance to earn loot from all the earlier bosses as well. As an example, if you've never defeated any bosses in the Voidspire and you're invited to only a Crown of the Cosmos encounter, your future Great Vaults for the season will contain loot from every boss in the Voidspire raid - Even if you do not kill Crown of the Cosmos again.

Finish a Heroic or Mythic max-level dungeon to unlock a reward in the Great Vault for this category. Timewalking Dungeons count as a Heroic dungeon by the Great Vault. The item level of your reward choices will be determined by your highest run of the week.

To unlock all three item choices, you need to:

• Complete 1 Heroic, Mythic, or Timewalking Dungeon.
• Complete 4 Heroic, Mythic, or Timewalking Dungeons.
• Complete 8 Heroic, Mythic, or Timewalking Dungeons.

The table below covers the item level of rewards from the Great Vault in Mythic+ in Midnight Season 1. We list end-of-dungeon rewards item level and the item level of gear you will find in the weekly chest the next week.

We have an overview of what's new in Midnight Season 1 in the following guide.

Complete Delves, Prey or world activities to unlock Great Vault rewards in this category. World activities are considered Tier 1 Delves. The item level of your reward will depend on your highest Tier Delve or Prey run of the week.

To unlock Hero-track gear, you must complete Delves on Tier 8+, or complete Prey hunts on Nightmare mode.

• Complete 2 Delves, Prey or World Activities.
• Complete 4 Delves, Prey or World Activities.
• Complete 8 Delves, Prey or World Activities.

Here is a table covering the item level of rewards from Bountiful Delves in Season 1.

Here is a table covering the item level of rewards from Prey Hunts in Season 1. As far as End of Prey rewards go, you are limited to two items per week, per difficulty.
