You are the one who’s not getting it. Weekly Vault is not crap when you compare it both with Legion and BFA. You dont get it becoz you didnt know how garbage weekly cache on Legion and BFA. Just be happy that weekly vault is very generous.
BTW, I am seeing such thread becoz of noobs.
oh god one of these again lolol
anyway Blizz, fix vault plz, i need the 226 ruby with avoidance on it if possible…it needs “fixing” because i’ve run hundreds of these and not one! 
Yes, I do know how it was before that. I know how it was when it was dkp and you hoarded that for weeks/months hoping to get a raid drop. Dungeon loot should be ivlv appropriate and cap at a certain keystone level. The vault should not exist, but it does, and it exists in a crap state so it should be fixed or scrapped. Thanks for calling me a noob though.
haha, I was bored and latched on to this for some fun today. Hope you enjoyed the read! GL with your next vault!
hehe ofc i did! and ty i’ll need it 
No you dont know. Mythic + started on Legion. Weekly Cache was born with it.
Before Mythic + were just heroic 5-man that we faceroll every week and providing LOL loots.
Before, the path for progression was 5-man < Normal Raid < Heroic Raid < Mythic Raid. Now, the progression is 5-man Normal/Heroic < Mythic+ = Heroic Raid < Mythic Raid. You can now progress towards Mythic Raiding by skipping Normal/Heroic Raid and do Mythic+ instead. But the Normal and Heroic Raid option is still there. It’s just now there’s variety to get to Mythic Raiding.
Actually, the path was 5-mans and world drops for resist gear and on to 40 man raids where 10 good folks could carry a whole crew of scrubs. I’m well versed on the way the system works and its history, I’m arguing that the system is just bad.
And I’m arguing that Weekly Vault system is not bad. Mythic+ can be done repeatedly with no cap. That’s why it’s End of Dungeon Loots were nerfed although compensated with weekly cache and now upgraded into weekly vault. Just think of it as an alternative progression for Normal and Heroic Raid.
But it shouldn’t be viewed as alternative progression since they are giving rewards based on the type of content we’re doing. They’ve dangled this idiotic carrot out there in the form of higher ilvl gear every week and when you don’t get an upgrade for weeks at a time over several toons then it just feels bad and that’s not good gameplay for a lot of players. They should implement RNG protection (which has been done in the past so there’s precedent) or scrap the damn thing altogether and let m+ ilvl cap at a certain keystone level.
You have peaked…more or less. You’ve pretty much beaten the tier at 220. At 222, you might get 200 dps if you jumped to 225-226. Maybe a bit more if your trinkets aren’t optimized.
Ugh, trinkets, had to rub it in didn’t you.
There’s loot ilevels for each Mythic+.
People just need to plan ahead so they wont get duplicates. Why do I have 21st consecutive weekly vault upgrades? Becoz I planned it. I dont stick to the same level of difficulty for weeks. I raised the key level I am playing every other week.
You cant do that if the Vault is the same weekly cache as in Legion and BFA when they only have 1 option. Our Vault could have 3 options. That’s the RNG protection. FYI.
I don’t know if yours are good or bad lol, but they tend to make the biggest difference. The rest of your gear won’t make much difference. Those 223 pieces being upgraded to 226 won’t be a ton of dps. It looks good on the character sheet, but it’s not a big difference at that point.
That’s great that you took it slow with your progression and got an upgrade every week. I’ve had weeks of multiple vault choices with my only memorable upgrade coming when I was able to replace a LFR weapon with a 220 one after cracking 10s. A large percentage of my gear has only been upgraded from valor because my vault choices, no matter how plentiful, have been duplicates or down/sidegrades. The best is guild chat after reset when we all compete to see who got the worst from the RNG gods.
Wait a minute, it’s NOT supposed to be the main way we gear!?! I guess I’m just exceptionally unlucky because all but one piece of gear I’m wearing came from the vault. The name “Raiding” should be changed to “Anima Farming.” Next expansion they can name it off the next terrible borrowed power currency.
Yeaaaaa the vault has a few issues that really shoudl’ve been addressed ages ago.
I get they probably want it to be totally random but how is it helpful I ge 2 of the same item slots in the vault? Or in your example a literal replica of what you already have equipped? It’s dumb and they need to make some changes ASAP.
M+ weekly cache has always been a bonus. They simply expanded it into the Vault this time.
Problem is that it feels the opposite because of how craptastic droprates are in M+ and raids.
If TBCC players wouldn’t buy them then they wouldn’t make them.
It was just a bonus in BFA, but in Shadowland it is the main way to gear since drops from dungeon are almost never an upgrade. People who are doing mythic 15s probably already have higher gear ilvls than the 210 gear that drops. Most people can’t even use valor to upgrade to higher gear than they already have.
… that’s literally what I just said.
