Ultimate Guide to Farming Zekvir in the War Within

If you’re looking to maximize your rewards in the War Within, then farming Zekvir is your best bet! This guide will help you understand how to efficiently take down Zekvir, the rewards you can earn, and strategies for optimizing your farming time.

Overview of Zekvir

Zekvir can be killed as many times as you want each day, and the encounter resets as soon as you leave. With recent nerfs, Zekvir is much easier to defeat on normal mode, making him a prime target for players looking to farm resources quickly.

Recommended Item Level

  • Blizzard's Suggested Item Level: 600 ilvl to enter Zekvir's Lair.

  • Personal Experience: Players have successfully killed Zekvir at lower item levels, such as:

    • 575 ilvl Hunter

    • 590 ilvl Mage

Rewards for Killing Zekvir

Each time you defeat Zekvir, you can earn the following rewards:

  • 25 Valorstones

  • 45 Resonance Crystals

  • Chance for 2 Runed Crests

  • Around 100 Gold

Farming Strategies

Fastest Valorstone Farm

With a character geared at 610 ilvl, you can farm approximately 1000 Valorstones per hour. The strategy involves:

  1. Entering Zekvir's Lair.

  2. Defeating Zekvir (takes about 1 minute).

  3. Exiting and re-entering to reset the encounter.

Fastest Delve Vault Completion

Killing Zekvir counts towards your Delve Vault progress as Tier 8 (the highest reward tier). You can efficiently complete your Delve Vault by following this method:

  1. Kill Zekvir 8 times: Takes around 15 minutes total.

  2. Complete 8 Delves: This will fill all 3 Delve Weekly Vault progressions.

Weekly Event Quests

During the weekly event, quests are available that promise lucrative rewards:

  • Complete five Delves in Calgar: Grants a "Cache of Delver's Pulse" containing a 597 item level piece of Champion's gear.

  • Complete three Delves: Earn a Pinnacle Cache with valuable restored keys.

By killing Zekvir, you also contribute to the completion of these quests. It takes only 10 minutes to kill him 5 times, making it a quick source of valuable rewards.
