Bridging the Gap: The

Mythic Plus (M+) content remains a pivotal aspect of endgame progression in World of Warcraft: The War Within, especially as Season 2 unfolds. It offers players a thrilling opportunity to earn powerful gear and test their skills in high-pressure environments. However, for those seeking a different experience, the introduction of Delves presents an appealing alternative.

The Rise of Delves

Delves cater to players who may prefer solo or small-group adventures. These explorations provide a unique form of progression for individuals who enjoy challenging gameplay at their own pace. With Delves, players can engage with the game on their own terms, making it an attractive option for those who might shy away from the more intense Mythic Plus content.

Bridging the Gap: Delvers and Mythic Plus

Exciting developments are on the horizon with Patch 11.1.5, which introduces the "Cracked Keystone" questline. This new content serves as a bridge between Delves and Mythic Plus dungeons, allowing players to transition smoothly between these two types of gameplay. This initiative is particularly beneficial for newcomers to Mythic Plus or for those who feel the need for a gentle introduction into the system.

Quest Overview: "Cracked Keystone"

Here’s what you need to know about the "Cracked Keystone" quest:

• How to Obtain:
  After successfully completing a Delve (I received it after a +11), players will be rewarded with a Cracked Keystone.

• Quest Objective:
  The primary aim is to utilize the Cracked Keystone to complete a Mythic+2 dungeon. This objective is designed to ease players into the Mythic Plus system gradually.

• Rewards:
  Completing the quest offers a range of valuable rewards, including:

  • 200 Valorstones

  • 15 Gilded Undermine Crests

  • 15 Runed Undermine Crests

Additionally, if players do not already possess a Keystone, the game will provide one upon commencing the quest. This Keystone will start at Mythic+2 difficulty, serving as a crucial stepping stone into the Mythic Plus landscape.

The "Cracked Keystone" quest not only encourages players to explore both Delves and Mythic Plus content but also provides meaningful rewards that enhance their progression through the season. By integrating these systems, Blizzard is fostering a more inclusive environment for players of all skill levels, ensuring that everyone can engage with the rich content that World of Warcraft: The War Within has to offer.
