Guide to Earning Myth Gear from 8 Mask Horrific Vision Runs (Patch 11.1.5)

With the release of Patch 11.1.5, Blizzard has revisited Horrific Visions, adding a new layer of challenge with 8 Faceless Masks to test the mettle of adventurers. Completing an 8 Mask run rewards players with Myth Gear, making it a highly sought-after activity. Below is a comprehensive guide to help you understand the mechanics, rewards, and strategies for tackling this exciting content.

Introduction to Revisited Horrific Visions

Soridormi and the Bronze Dragonflight arrive to take adventurers back to the time of N’Zoth’s attack on Stormwind and Orgrimmar. By participating in Horrific Visions, players can:

  • Complete objectives in corrupted Stormwind and Orgrimmar.

  • Manage their Sanity to survive the vision.

  • Take on challenges with or without a group (or with the aid of the Construct of Soridormi companion).

  • Collect Displaced Corrupted Mementos, a currency used for purchasing unique rewards.

What Are Faceless Masks?

Faceless Masks are modifiers that increase the difficulty of Horrific Visions while adding unique mechanics. The 8 Mask Challenge is the pinnacle of difficulty for this content, requiring precise coordination, strong gear, and mastery of mechanics.

Old Masks

  1. Faceless Mask of the Long Night: Reduces Maximum Sanity by 50%.

  2. Faceless Mask of the Burned Bridge: Moving spawns void zones that drain sanity.

  3. Faceless Mask of the Daredevil: Increases sanity damage from enemies by 400%.

  4. Faceless Mask of the Pained: Introduces 2 Madnesses in each area.

  5. Faceless Mask of the Dark Imagination: Spawns void enemies when below 50% sanity.

New Masks

  1. Faceless Mask of the Nemesis: Adds relentless enemies that periodically ambush.

  2. Faceless Mask of Vengeance: Increases boss damage significantly.

  3. Faceless Mask of Multitudes: Spawns additional enemies during encounters.

Tip: Each mask stacks its effects, so running with all 8 masks activated creates an extremely challenging environment. Ensure your party is well-prepared!

Rewards for Completing an 8 Mask Run

Completing an 8 Mask Horrific Vision run offers the following rewards:

  1. Myth Gear (weekly chance):

    • Completing the run with all 4 zones cleared and the final boss defeated has a chance on looting a Myth 1/6 662 ilvl gear. This is limited to once a week.

  2. Gilded Crests:

    • If Myth Gear does not drop, you will instead earn 7 Gilded Crests, up to 3 times per week.

  3. Displaced Corrupted Mementos:

    • Use this currency to purchase mounts, toys, transmogs, and weapon enchantments.

Note: To successfully complete an 8 Mask run, your character should ideally be equipped with Heroic-level gear or higher, as lower gear levels will make the run exceedingly difficult.

Strategies for Success

  1. Prepare Your Gear: Ensure your character has Heroic-level gear or better. Optimize your talents and consumables for the encounter.

  2. Understand Mask Mechanics: Familiarize yourself with how each mask affects gameplay to avoid surprises during the run.

  3. Manage Sanity:

    • Use sanity-restoring items strategically.

    • Avoid unnecessary movement when using the Mask of the Burned Bridge.

  4. Bring a Balanced Party or Companion: If playing solo or with a small group, utilize the Construct of Soridormi companion to fill roles like tank, DPS, or healer.

  5. Clear All Zones: To qualify for Myth Gear rewards, ensure you complete all 4 zones and defeat the final boss.

What Are Displaced Corrupted Mementos?

This is a new currency introduced in Patch 11.1.5. Players can earn it during Horrific Vision runs and use it to purchase:

  • Mounts

  • Toys

  • Transmog appearances

  • Corrupted weapon enchantments

Farming this currency is an additional incentive to participate in Horrific Visions, even if you are not yet aiming for 8 Mask runs.

The 8 Mask Horrific Vision Challenge offers an exhilarating test of skill that rewards players with Myth Gear and other valuable items. Whether you're a solo player, part of a group, or new to this content, the revisited Horrific Visions provide plenty of replayability and rewards. Gear up, prepare your strategy, and take on the Void’s most sinister challenges! Good luck!
