World of Warcraft checklist

Everything in this group opened on August 18. Great Vault thresholds are Raid 2/4/6 bosses, Dungeon 1/4/8 runs and World 2/4/8 activities; Tier 8+ Delves and Nightmare Prey both feed the World row and can reach 305 Hero 1/6 there, and Tidebound Grotto Lair kills count toward the Raid row alongside Venomous Abyss bosses. Tier 8 is the Delve breakpoint the whole loop turns on — Tiers 9–11 do not raise the base Bountiful chest or the normal World Vault item level.

• Complete your Nightmare Prey Hunts

  Nightmare is the Season 2 difficulty. The first two Hunts each week carry the Preyseeker gear rewards; Hunts also supply Coffer Key Shards and feed the World row of the Great Vault

  Reward Preyseeker gear, Coffer Key Shards, World Vault progress
• Create and spend your 6 Restored Coffer Keys

  The weekly Coffer Key Shard cap converts to 6 Restored Coffer Keys. Spend them on Bountiful Delve end-chests at Tier 8 or higher, where the chest is a guaranteed piece rather than a roll on dungeon loot

  Reward Up to 6x 295 Champion 2/6
• Tier 8+ onlyUse your Trovehunter's Bounty at Tier 8+

  One map per character per week, from "Purging the Vaults". Consume it and clear a Tier 8 or higher Delve — the hidden chest is 305 Hero 1/6. Below Tier 8 the map is wasted

  Reward 305 Hero 1/6
• Fill the Dungeon row of the Great Vault0 / 3

  Mythic+ runs. Slot quality comes from your highest, fourth-highest and eighth-highest qualifying runs. +6 begins repeatable Hero-track loot, +9 adds Myth Mistcrests, +10 turns the Vault slot Myth

  • 1 dungeon — first Vault slot
  • 4 dungeons — second Vault slot
  • 8 dungeons — third Vault slot

  Reward Up to three Dungeon Vault choices
• alternate weeksClaim your Venomblight Manaflux Catalyst charge

  Baseline charges arrive every other week, so this will not be available at every reset — the weekly prompt is what stops one going unnoticed. Spend it to complete a 2-set or 4-set, never on a random eligible slot

  Reward Tier conversion
• Unlock at least 3 Great Vault panes

  From the August 25 Vault onward, three or more reward panes in a week unlocks the Nebulous Voidcore bonus-roll alternative. Any mix of Raid, Dungeon and World panes counts

  Reward Nebulous Voidcore eligibility
• Ossified Relics and Ral'kala summons (optional)

  Continuing the Prey questline opens Ossified Relics and the Haunted Brazier interactions used to summon Ral'kala — a repeatable solo source of Corrosive currencies and Champion/Hero crests. Optional: a raid or Mythic+ player's time is usually better spent in group content, but it is valuable for a solo-focused character

  Reward Champion and Hero Mistcrests, Corrosive currencies

The 12.1 weekly loop. Vaults of Atal'Utek events are deliberately NOT listed individually - Temple Patrols run about every 10 minutes, Strikes trigger from Patrol participation and Incursions roughly hourly, which is repeatable farming rather than a weekly chore. 'Purging the Vaults' is how that content belongs on a tracker: one weekly quest that the farming feeds.

• Turn Back the Surge

  Complete 3 Curse Surges.

  Reward 1,000 Zul'jarra's Forces reputation, weekly rewards and Spark eligibility
• Trailing Xal'atath

  Collect 100 Fading Voidwhispers. They drop from ordinary play — dungeons, delves, treasures and dangerous enemies — so this accumulates while you do other content.
• before resetSpark of Tides

  Make sure the weekly Spark is acquired before reset.
• Zul'jarra's Forces dungeon weekly

  Select the Zul'jarra reputation reward from Halduron's dungeon weekly while you still need Renown.
• Coiled Isle Special Assignment

  Complete when available.
• Purging the Vaults

  Complete Temple Patrols, Strikes and Incursions and defeat Ancient Foes in the Vaults of Atal'Utek. Suggested for 3 players. Requires the 12.1 story completed and Renown 2 with Zul'jarra's Forces - the same gate as the Veteran bracers, so both open together.

  Reward 500 Zul'jarra's Forces reputation, 1.5K Corrosive Coin, Corrosive Soul x2, Venom-Cursed Fragment, Trovehunter's Bounty, and gold
• World Boss / Lair — weekly lockout

  The Tidebound Grotto Lair in the 12.1 zone, which replaced the old world boss weekly. Nymrissa Wavecaller now runs at World, Normal, Heroic and Mythic — take the highest you can hold. Lair kills also count toward the Raid row of the Great Vault, which is what makes this efficient

  Reward Gear on a weekly lockout, Raid Vault progress

• The Venomous Abyss — weekly raid lockout

  The Season 2 raid, 8 bosses, on the Coiled Isle. Bosses 2–6 carry Tier token opportunities and Ula'tek can drop a Curio used for a Tier choice. Raid Finder opens a wing at a time — Wing 1 now, Wing 2 on Aug 25, Wing 3 on Sep 1, Wing 4 on Sep 8

  Reward Tier set, raid gear, Great Vault (Raid) progress
• Sporefall — kill Rotmire

  Single-boss raid in Harandar near the Grudge Pit (LFR/Normal/Heroic/Flex Mythic 15-25). Use bonus rolls if targeting Rotmire loot; collect Sporefused gear/appearances. One Delicious Sporesnack/week → 4 for the Sporeglider mount

  Reward Sporefused gear (i259-298), mount, decor
• Season 1 raids — clear desired difficulty

  The Voidspire, The Dreamrift, March on Quel'Danas. Catch-up content now that The Venomous Abyss is open — run them for transmog, mounts and the Season 1 tier set. Loot eligibility resets weekly by difficulty (Mythic uses stricter instance lockout)

  Reward Raid gear, tier set, mounts, transmog
