According to wowhead, which I can’t link because of blizzards arbitrary linking restrictions, you need to be Delvers Journey renown 2, to even have the maps drop. It’s impossible to get this week even if you do every single bountiful delve and the quest that drops.
Why on Azeroth are we timegating maps this season even further? Season one had us able to collect many maps, then season 2 had us locked to one a week, now season 3 has us timegated behind delvers journey AND STILL locked to one a week. This is insanity.
Edit it’s not IMPOSSIBLE, but it will take a ton of grinding

It takes 7 D8s + the weekly. Settle down.
Run a few alts through them and spend all their keys. You’ll be done before you hit the crest cap if you have even ONE alt.

No it takes more than that. You need to get through rank 1 first and then rank 2. You can’t do it unless you spam them

Yea, it’s like 24, you’ll need some sacrificial alts to get it week one

T8 Bountifuls seem to only be giving 200 per, it’s a lot more than 7. Rev up those throwaway alts

You have to use a key for the extra
Using the key it only gives 200. I’ve done 7 so far on alts and still haven’t hit rank 1

I’m not home so I can’t check but article says 150 for an 8 and extra 250 for the key /shrug
Sometimes I really dont get them.
Delvers were anyway only getting 2 hero drop chances per week (vault + weekly bounty map).
Whats the point of nerfing that?
Even more so if m6 will continue to drop hero gear like last season.
Then 11.2.5 will come and suddenly hero items will fall from the sky like common rain drops…

I got 300 for doing a T11 bountiful. Then +1500 from the weekly quest item. Looks like it’s going to take a lot of grinding.

Seems pointless unless all you do is delves
Sounds like 23 T11 bountifuls with the weekly 
AI says you get more progress for killing the nemesis packs and for having the boss lady appear in your delve… can anybody confirm?
I did all of the Nemesis Packs in the T11 and didn’t get any Delver progress from them.

Wonder if you get any progress for killing Ky’veza (on ?). Will have to check after work.
So basically unlikely to get a hero drop this week unless in vault? I mean I don’t mind Champ gear, happy for it. But they sure pulling that Hero carrot further out of reach aren’t they?

Maybe they’re trying to discourage raiders/m+ers from gearing up through delves too much? Either that or they’re trying to torture them by making them run 9000 delves

But we regular delvers also along for the torture ride too lol. Even little fish get caught up in that big net

I suspect you may be right, this may be meant to take that ammo away from the argument of “we don’t want to feel like we have to grind delves to stay competitive.” So who knows? They sure play it close to the chest these days.
