Great Vault and Devles - How does this work

So I have done several Devles this week and opened up all 3 slots of the Great Vault for Delves. Now, each slot says:
Slot 1 - complete Tier 6 or higher to increase reward
Slot 2 - complete Tier 4 or higher to increase reward
Slot 3 - complete Tier 2 or higher to increase reward

My questions is, if my complete a Delve Tier 7, which Great Vault slot does it upgrade?

The first one. It’s like the other categories, progression levels trickle down and the first slot always counts your highest clears first.

I believe it goes highest two, lowest four, and then the rest.

Delves require 2/4/8 for the vault completion.

So for the first slot you’d need two 7s, the second would need four 7s, and the last would need eight 7s completed.

So, for my to increase my Slot 3 which is needs a Level 2 Delve, I would need to do 7 more Level 2 Delves? Or, if my next Delve is a Level 3, would that directly effect my Slot 3? This is soooo confusing. LOL

Is there a way via the API in game to get a list of the ones you have done (like you can get a list of the M+ dungeons). I’d like a way to know exactly what I’ve done (via weakaura or addon) similar to how I have a list of all the M+ I have done for the week (by key level)

It depends, let’s say this is your current pool of completions: 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1

Your vault slots would then be:
First: Tier 7 piece (8, 7)
Second: Tier 5 piece (8,7,6,5)
Third: Tier 1 piece (8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1)

Completing a new one would essentially push your lowest out of the way and move the rest down.

So completing another 8 would mean:
First: Tier 8 piece (8,8)
Second: Tier 6 piece (8,8,7,6)
Third: Tier 2 piece (8,8,7,6,5,4,3,2)

Your lowest of the set will be the one that determines your gear, so upgrading your vault depends on what you’ve done so far. In this particular scenario in order to ensure all vault rewards were tier 8, it would require seven more 8s to be completed.

Yeah, I wish it would show that on the mouse over (here’s the ones you’ve completed for the rewards). As right now I’ve done at least 4 8’s but not sure how many more I need to do to toggle the last slot (I think I’ve actually done 7 8’s). If it’s 4, not doing it, if it’s 1, I’ll do it, that’s why I want a way to get the info.

So, just so I have this clear. In your second scenario, if I completed a Tier 4, it would add another Tier 4 to my list and push out the Tier 2 Delve so my lowest is now a Tier 3 Delve for the last slot?

Yes; the last slot will be the lowest tier completed of the highest eight delves you’ve done.

Perfect. If I want to target the lowest slot, I need to do at least 8 more above that Delve(this example was level 2) to completely upgrade that slot. Seems kinda pointless now that I think about it. I should just do Level 7 Delves to push them all out.

Also note that tier 8 will give you the highest ilvl. So no need to complete a tier 9 or higher.
Eventually as you progess, you should be doing only tier 8. And doing 8 tier 8 delves every week will guaranty the 3 tabs to the highest lvl

That is great to know. Thank you. Will Delves 9 or higher ever drop ilvl gear? Or is this just for Season 1?

I dont know. Maybe in s2 it will change. It would make sense, when they increase the ilvl cap. I believe it’s like M+ ? Though i never done M+

There’s no current plan to increase it. This is also how m+ works too.

The best way to think about it is once you’ve done 8 T8s your vault is maxed out for the week.

Delves reset daily. You can do the same one 7 times in a week at tier 8 if you want. What changes are the Bountiful Delves. Each day has one per zone. When you have completed the bountiful delve, its world map icon will dim.

Not what I’m talking about at all. In the vault there are 3 rows, Raid, Dungeons, and Delves / World Activity.

In the raid row, you can mouse over and see what you have completed for the week (2 heroic, 4 normal for example).

For the dungeon row, you can mouse over and see what the top 8 you have completed are (1 M+ 3, 3 M+ 2’s, 4 Timewalking)

However, for the world quests / delves row, you can’t see anything short of what you’re receiving. There seems to be no way to find out that you’ve done 5 Delves at 8, and 3 world quests. You have to blindly keep doing stuff until you fill all 3 slots with what you wanted.

There are LUA calls you can make for the top two rows to get this data for your own addon, just can’t seem to locate anything for that last row.

I’m just starting back. For the past two weeks according to Tom Cat’s Tours, I’ve completed eight tier 8 delves & my third Great Vault slot does not increase. Any ideas?

I’m sort of in the same boat as am at 7/8 vault on my dk, and want to make sure I have at least 2 hero options out of the three. As I ran a couple of 6s just to get the numbers up, not sure what that 3rd vault slot is going to be. (Im going to run an 8 tonight to boost the 2nd vault slot.)

Eta after reading the tool top that 3rd slot is going to be a low item, as it’s based on your lowest run. So its probably not really a great option compared to the first two slots.

That’s not how it works.

To get all slots for decent max ALL 8 delves have to be done on tier 8 or higher.

Yeah I screwed it up. I was lucky and got a hidden trove so got a hero trink and some runed crests, so starting over again next week.
