Is it still 4 keys a week for delves?

100% yes.

Which is why the overlap of crests between tracks will always be dumb.

Upgrading Hero to 6/6 will never be worth it outside of specific overtuned Raid Items you know you won’t have access to a Mythic version of (not YOU you, just, anyone who isn’t a Mythic Raider).

That’s wasted Crests that could have gone into literally just BiS minus 3 ilvl. That’s always going to be better for general gearing. Most people aren’t going to have a weird Mythic Raid loot funnel situation going on to make that a questionable choice.

And as a bit more of a tangent: Champ Track using THREE types of crests is insane. Under the current system, it should 100% just stop at 6/6 instead of reaching into 8/8 with Runed Crests. Champ Track is STILL equal to Hero Track outside of those specific Raid items for non-mythic raiders, because people are generally willing to blow Runed crests but NOT Gilded, because Gilded is reserved for Crafting.

Edit: I suppose I’m saying this from the perspective of someone not getting Gilded crests en masse early on. If you are, the time gate on crafting leaves you with a little wiggle room, but honestly still probably better to save the off-week of crests for upgrading actual myth track drops later. This wouldn’t apply to Delve-only players since they get the crests slower anyway though.

What about those that won’t even see a myth track drop during the whole season?

Still save, because crafting a Myth Equivalent item is a better deal than blowing those crests on Hero Track. If you aren’t doing Gilded Crest content outside of Delves, you are time gated such that this is not a concern for you, your crafting time gate is faster than the Crest time gate.

I’m not. I’m just doing delves only. All I want is the mythic appearance for a few classes. It’s not going to matter at all (to me) if some of my pieces are 665 and not 675.

not only that but in s2 they’re more rewarding!

Can’t you get more after the first 4 using Coffer Key Shards?

You can, the weekly WQ boss grants 25 now as we speak. There are also radiant echoes for the worldsoul activity.

I thought so. I remember using them a lot early in Season 1.
