Very excited I completed my first t8! As a result all of my gear is 590+ and I am at 600 ilv.
I am hoping on some feedback as to what activities are best to get all my gear 600+ I’ve mostly been doing delves and WQ. If I continue to do t8 delves can I get to over 600?
Raid, but M+ is the more spammable version of fast gearing. It’s difficult getting into random keys, especially if you’re gearing up. Low keys are the wild west, though, so you’re best off hosting your own and hoping for the best.
Congratulations on conquering your first tier 8 Delve.
The answer to your question is, yes. If you would like to stick with Delves you can progress beyond ilvl 600.
If you complete a bountiful tier 8 Delve, you’ll have ilvl 603 champion track gear drop from it (which can be upgraded to ilvl 609 without too much work). You will need a key to unlock it, of which you can get 4 pretty easily from world quests/events (like Theater Troupe).
You can get 616 hero track gear from the vault every week by doing tier 8 Delves. Completing 2x tier 8 Delves will give you one piece to choose from, doing 4x tier 8 Delves will give you two pieces to choose from and completing 8x tier 8 Delves will give you three pieces to choose from.
Those can be upgraded to 619 with a little work as well, though getting them higher than that will take some time if you’re just doing Delves. There’s also maps you can get which give you access to 610 ilvl hero track gear, but they’re RNG drops.
Edit: Removed incorrect information regarding the upgrading of gear. Correct information is as below.
Champ track goes to 619, eventually from runed crests. (2 per bountiful delve). Hero track from vault goes a bit further (626) but uses gilded, which you get from maps (Though not very consistently at all). Best use for gilded is probably to craft a 636 weapon once you get 90, towards the end of the season.
Once you have every slot to 619, you can convert runed into gilded at a rate of 6:1, getting 15 from a full week’s cap.
Doing nothing but delves (Albeit quite a few) you can hit 620~ ilvl, possibly a smidge more.
I have to say I love how many people are making posts like this, excited for their loot progression thanks to delves. It seems like a lot of people are in the same boat as me, where we dwell in very casual/solo/world content and so historically we don’t really stay close to relevant with gear. But now we can!
