so this would not effect me i do tier 8 for the vault loot and chest loot
So still same track, but one or two ranks down. Looks like they did that because of the Crests we’ll be earning.
Seems like you can realistically farm a large number of Runed Crests in T11s, and it doesn’t appear capped. So they’re turning into a crest grind.
Dang, guess they really are nerfing delve loot
Yes and no, you can get gear up to T11s now. Siren Isles is the best way to level a fresh 80, get full vet gear in 45 minutes with flame blessed iron
Eh. It’s a very slight nerf combined with a very large buff. I’m certainly not complaining.
Wont T11 drop the highest level crests though? And I am happy to hear that T11 will actually be designed for Delvers, not M+/Raiders wanting a solo challenge in their “off time”.
I’m not complaining either… I like to test things out, but I don’t super agree that it’s a net gain. I think it’s just more grindy. TBH it sounds like it’s “better” for my “main”, as I’ll be able to max out my hero gear (at least theoretically), but crappier for my alts, since i’m not likely to grind out a bunch of t11’s on a bunch of junky toons.
Don’t disregard the buffs to t9 and t10. T9s will give 7 runed and t10 will give 10 runed.
It depends on how many you do on your alts. If you only do 2 and hope for an upgrade from the vault then it would be a nerf. If you do 4 x t9s, you’ll get the Hero 1 from the vault and 28 runed crests, which is almost enough to get it to Hero 3. If you do more than 4 or do them at higher difficulty, it’s a net gain. Once you unlock the runed discount on your main, the breakeven point drops to 3 x t9.
You have good points. It’s hard to tell how much I’ll actually do these. That’s why I’m not complaining. I guess we’ll see 
If the delvers bounty map is guaranteed every week (blizzard has been vague on this over on the ptr forums) you’ll get 31 gilded a week which is 2 myth upgrades a week or a crafted myth track item every other week when you complete a spark. You also now overcap runed from filling the vault by doing 8x T11’s (104 runed). Once you unlock trade up for crest you’ll get an additional 30 gilded a week.
They recently nerfed delve difficulty on the ptr as well. Solo only delve players will be in a pretty good spot in S2 comparatively to S1.
With Crests raining from the sky compared to the trickle we have now I’ll take the 1-2 upgrade level cost. Delves will be something to do beyond Bountifuls.
Sure beats flying around for hours farming crests…
Hard to say anything 'till it all goes live.
Tuning, drops, vault, crests, and stones are all levers they could move in many different directions between now and live.
Are current keys usable in season 2? I haven’t seen anything about that.
They were barely a challenge this season and they’re nerfing them next season lol
No. Keys and Undercoins get reset. I’d spend those on the transmog or the profession bags for some gold.
Yea, an overall buff with crests and better map acquisition.
I love they’re adding incentives to defeating influenced mobs now, excellent changes all around.
10 Gilded from a map, S2 is looking spicy for us Delvers.
