It’s too low now, a month into the expansion, it’s going to be laughably low the next time it rotates in. At the very least it needs to be higher than the max which you can get from delves now. 1/8 Champion track is so bad if we didn’t already need to do 8 delves to fill up the GR slots no one would even bother picking up the quest. We already have weekly event quests that are auto skips like the pet event or the PvP one for those who don’t PvP, do we really need another one?

It is an upgrade for all my characters. Maybe not next time but I will just vendor it for gold.
Its a weekly. All the weeklies are like this
Thats veteran level
You can run tier 1 delves ane get credit
Thats explorer level difficulty

You can do 5 Tier 1s and complete the weekly. That’s why the reward is so low - it’s commiserate with the difficulty level.

There is no tier requirement so its fine

Who is doing T1 delves? You can do T3 even before you hit max level. And since when has the level of difficulty of these weekly tasks ever been tied to the reward? Their whole point is that the reward should be disproportionally higher to the difficulty of the required task because they’re on a weekly rotating schedule.
The big picture is being missed here.
The reward should scale to the delve that you do.
I’m sure there are folks here who would like nothing more than to get an extra shiny this week because they did 5 delves. 5 Tier 8 delves.
As a rule, none of the other weeklies really scaled. Heck, even the 4 heroics per week quest couldn’t be done on M+, you had to do the heroics, so he reward was commensurate to the activity.
But Delves, they scale. I don’t even remember Torghast having a weekly event “do X Torghast” that could be done at level 1, maybe it did, I just don’t recall.
So, it would be nice, for those who like delves, if this quest scaled like the vault does.

When people are complaining that the loot level is too low and the loot level is too high, it sounds like it’s about right.

Any alt that wants to just crank this out real quick.
Thus, low ilevel gear.

The reward is an upgrade to the lowest of the rewards for that pillar, not the highest. You can run 5x Tier1 delves, and still get a 597 item which is better than you’d get out of that level of delve.
The quest didn’t ask you to run 5x T9+ delves and then hits you with a 597 item. Just like the dungeon weekly grants a Hero track item, which is a definite upgrade for M0s (what everyone runs that week) but is a downgrade for someone who knocks out 4x +10s instead.

Except a very small percentage of the player base does that but literally everyone can do the higher tier delves. The reward from the M0 weekly will be an upgrade for 99% of players but the reward from the delves weekly is an upgrade for barely anyone even now and will be an upgrade for no one the next time it rolls around.
What’s more, this event is just another indication that the devs are purposely limiting the rewards you can get from delves and it’s really annoying considering that they promised they would be a legitimate progression path. I just don’t understand why these artificial gateposts are in place. Well that’s not true, I do understand, it’s because no one would bother doing higher end M+ and cutting edge raiding if they could get the same gear from other sources. So instead of making those game modes more appealing they’re suppressing the rewards you get from other modes that people find more to their liking. It’s sad, really.
Doesn’t matter. That’s what the quest’s requirements are.
Since every quest ever?
Many players can effectively faceroll a Tier 1 delve in less than 5 minutes. Ignore the adds, click the things, kill the boss, repeat. It’s a cakewalk. That’s why the reward is so “low”.
Probably. But I’m pretty sure that the quest system isn’t set up to do that.
meh i was gonna do 8 t8s for vault anyways regardless of that reward.
im getting closer to the point where i wont even do those tbh.
i do it mainly for the key and the valor stones and crests.
if i happen to get an upgrade, so be it. i have alts that still need to fill out certain slots in the gear.
with that key i can run another bountiful this week for another chance at more gear or upgrades.
But the quest, and the reward, are going to be set to the lowest common denominator – in this case, the lowest delve available. And at that level, 597 is a significant upgrade.
BTW, there are still lots of posts here in GD about how T8 delves are difficult for some players, so
is not entirely accurate. I’m sure a lot of players have alts who can’t blast through a T8 right now, and will appreciate a champion-track item for completing non-bountiful lower level delves this week.
Right, like literally none of the other weekly event quests all which award much better gear than the level of difficulty of the task would suggest. You’re just being a contrarian now and it shows because you’re comparing apples and oranges. This quest is the aberration when compared to all the other weekly event quests.
Sadly it’s pretty much wasted on the couple characters I’ve been working on since launch. It’s a nice perk for alts though. Who knows maybe I’ll get a cool transmog weapon out of it for the others.
I completely agree with this. 597 from doing an activity that drops 603 100% of the time and occasionally 610? That seemed a bit weird.
