Just completed my first +8 Delve

As a fanatic for mage tower style content - I went straight into a +8 Delve after getting full epic PvP gear not expecting much difficulty. I was pleasantly surprised in the “effort” it takes to kill all of the mobs with mini “slayer” tasks killing 50’ish mobs to progress. Also no timer was nice as I was able to tab out on occasion to fix the playlist vibes.

At the end, it felt rewarding to see a big chest I got to open with coins scattered around the ground. My only complaint really is that the loot room looks spectacular, but the actual loot reward felt quite underwhelming. I was hoping to get a bigger gold reward for my time and effort based on difficulty - something more grand and epic that suits more of the major solo bossing content theme. Also, it would feel nice to have the chance on rare toys/mounts or something that is sellable on auction house - sort of like a treasure hunter incentive.

Overall, it gave quite the adventure/exploring feel with that world content I am familiar with from Diablo and Runescape as a kid. Although the delve content is still in its infancy, I can see a great future for this style of content with the modern “solo” gaming style that is trending across all games.

There are pets that drop if you do enough. I’ve made quite a bit selling duplicates.

Underwhelming? You got KSM/Heroic Raid equivalent loot for doing something significantly less difficult.

Getting boosted/carried in M+ is far easier to piggy back on. Also I think I received like 20 gold from the multiple sparkling gold piles on the ground LOL. Quite the bait

I believe he was referring to the giant piles and troves of gold in the treasure room that somehow only amounts to 50 gold

Yeah, this was kind of wild.

Yes, both lacking a gold incentive and some form of rare drop incentive (not gear ilvl related)

Bran is a stingy SOB.
