Do in use curios not get upgrades?

It seems like the curio in use on Brann doesn’t get upgrades. All the curios that I’m not using are rank 2 and 3, but the 2 that I use are both rank 1.

It makes an odd type of sense because it would force you to use others so they get used instead of just sticking with 2 specific ones. Idk if it’s an actual thing or not.

Hell, idk if the curios are random or if the reason I’m not getting upgrades for Pocket Factory and LOOT-RAID-R is because rank 2 Pocket Factory is from Tier X of specific Delve Y, and I have just been doing random ones that were bountiful and a few others randomly.

If you’re not already doing T11 delves, you could try harder ones.

Only recently came back to game so ilvl isn’t high enough for that high a delve. I’m not sure how the curio drops work but I assume if Brann gets no upgrades higher delves will end up impossible lol

Brann only does so much. Just leveling him will help, though.

Ahh ok cool :slight_smile:

But still any idea if for example Rank 2 Pocket Factory only drops in say Waterworks delve on tier 8 and higher and I’ve been doing Earthcrawl mines rank 6 which has no chance for it or what?

What ilvl are you? I started doing t11’s at 625 on my dk, 630 on my other toons.

And tbh I wouldn’t bother with delves for gearing under 8’s. I’d use nightfalls until you are full 630+.

Tier 7 delves is meant to be for 626 ilvl and tier 8 for 639 ilvl but?

I really don’t think Brann could heal me enough to stay alive in higher tiers. Right now my Ret pally is 623 ilvl and my BM hunter is 631 ilvl. BM hunter pet takes tons of dmg which mend pet and exhilaration alongside brann’s heals at times can barely keep up with.

I wouldn’t trust the recommended at all.

Like this was my dk, 629 and I did an 11 with zero deaths as dps.
Just do what you feel comfortable doing, but I wouldn’t do anything under an 8. It’s honestly a waste of time since you don’t get a solid vault benefit from it and lesser crests.

He does just fine. It’s honestly all about the potions.

Stagger the potions for dr and healing. Don’t gobble them all at once.

The pets will take a ton of damage. You’d be better off turning off growl and tanking them yourself or mding brann lol.

My hunter is 638 and i still can’t solo an 8 and no it’s not a skill issue. I play MM Hunter.

I’ve found it entirely depends on class and spec.

Sen at 640 ilevel was like wet paper in an 8.

My Destro Lock at 603 in an 8 melted everything and took no damage.

My Unholy DK at 636 in an 8 was slow, had some spikey damage, but never died.

My Frost DK at 636 in an 8 melted everything and didn’t take much damage.

My Enh Shaman… I might as well not even try. She’s worse than wet paper. :rofl:

I hate to say it, but it’s definitely a skill issue.

My dh also did her immortal 11 at 630.

Don’t stand in poo. Interrupt/cc. Don’t use pet taunt. Don’t overpull. Set brann to healer. Check your talents.

I literally posted the image above lol.

My Survival Hunter in an 11 at 640 is fine. Pet gets spikey, but I run over a Brann potion.

Never tried it as MM.

Yea pets get instantly deleted in delves lol. They made it so you can’t cheese them.
My lock can’t blueberry either.

But yea. I started 11’s on my hunter at around 630 as well. They are definitely do able. You just can’t be dumb.

Tbh it should be easier since mm has a higher burst output than surv and bm combined.

Mine have been okay so far. Spikey. But Brann potions do the trick.

I went into an 11 on him the other day, completely forgot how to play him, because it’s been a bit, and just floundered through it while Healy Brann and my bear chomped it all up. lol

Curios are special items looted from chests at the end of a delve run. They further improve Brann’s combat capabilities.

That’s all it said, which isn’t overly clear on whether specific delves of specific tier drop specific ranks of specific curios or not. I mean that’s just like saying “tier armour drops off raid bosses” That doesn’t mean that Tier 3 that drops in Naxxramas will drop in Zul’Gurub and Undermine :stuck_out_tongue: which is why I was asking.

For all I know, the reason Pocket Factory and LOOT-RAID-R rank 2 haven’t dropped is I’m not doing the right delve or maybe rank 2 only drops in tier 3 and 4 delves, and me doing tier 6 and 7 delves, only rank 3 curios can drop? idk

It also said:

Curios have four ranks, and you can improve the rank of a curio by looting the same curio of a higher rank at higher tiers.

I linked the article in case you wanted to read more about the Curios themselves, Brann, the new Delves, etc. Just for more info in case you had more questions.

Yea potions are the key.

And certain curios are just busted as well.

Haha yea, hunters make it pretty laughable.
I always forget to turn growl off and my poor spider gets stomped.

Sorry didn’t see this reply.

Tbh I went ele on my shaman since enhance, no matter the build, became a convoluted mess. And they screwed up how tempest tracks. So that is hot garbage.

But I agree as well. Rogues have a tougher time, probably one of the harder classes to delve on. But any hunter spec should be cake. Same with any plate.

I’m so mad about this that it’s why I stopped playing her.

Yup… I was doing insane dps in s1. Fun detected lol.
Although I am not mad at how ele is playing. I’ve been enjoying it.

Tbh I need to check out my smf war too. I haven’t really touched her this season outside of nightfalls.
S1 she was absolutely busted. Like in the underwater delves. I would experiment how long I could drown for and not die. I stopped “drowning” at over 7 minutes just so I could zoom through the rest of the delve :joy:
But I probably could have done the entire thing, beginning to end under drowning damage rofl.
