In Shadowlands, the weekly mythic+ cache is being replaced with the great vault. I shared my initial reaction<\/a> of their first post<\/a> about it (and got a correction by a commenter), wowhead has gotten more information, including an actual example of how it works. I’ll summarize a bit of what they said, along with providing a link to the original post after the break. Having seen clarification, there are parts of what bothered me that were my misunderstanding, however, most of my main issues still linger…<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

In BFA, your highest mythic dungeon completed in the week determines the loot from the cache on Tuesday. There may be some observation bias here, but in my experience the loot that drops from this cache carries exclusively poor stats, bad corruptions, and was the slot you got last week. Part of the problem is the MASSIVE pool of items that can drop from this cache in that it includes every eligible piece from all dungeons across the expansion. As it is now, you need only complete one dungeon at +15 or higher (higher for more of certain currencies) and you get the maximum level of loot drop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The current iteration of the Great Vault has some basic similarities. It will give you one piece of loot based on the level of content completed that week. This is where it immediately varies, though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you can see, there are up to 9 possible choices to earn, 3 from each of raiding, mythic dungeons, and pvp. The current speculation tends to assume that the choices will either be A: All from the mythic dungeon loot pool, or B: Each tier pertaining to the content from which you get the choice. As in, the top 3 choice options, when unlocked, will be raid loot, and so forth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
