Symptom → cause → first action
| Problem | Likely cause | First action |
|---|---|---|
| Vault only shows 1-2 slots | Didn’t complete enough activities | Run 4 of each type for each additional slot |
| Vault reward item level low | Low-difficulty activities = low Vault ilvl | Push higher tier for better Vault |
| Can’t choose Vault reward | Need to visit Dornogal Great Vault NPC | Fly to Dornogal; interact with crystal |
| Old Vault expired | Unclaimed 2 weeks | Can’t recover; claim next week promptly |
| Duplicate item in Vault | Multiple rolls of same slot | Pick differently; or disenchant later |
| Can’t trade Vault item | BoP from Vault | Rolls are locked to you; no trade |
The three Vault rows
| Row | Fill with | Slots |
|---|---|---|
| Raid | Raid bosses killed (tier-current) | 2 bosses = 1 slot, 4 = 2, 7 = 3 slots max |
| Mythic+ | M+ keys completed (timed or untimed) | 1 = 1 slot, 4 = 2, 8 = 3 slots max |
| World | Delves (Tier 4+) or world activities | 2 Delves = 1 slot, 4 = 2, 8 = 3 slots max |
Each row has 3 slots. 9 total possible. Each slot is one potential item reward.
Item level by activity
| Activity | Vault item level at max |
|---|---|
| Raid Mythic bosses | Highest tier available |
| Raid Heroic | One tier below Mythic |
| Raid Normal | Two tiers below Mythic |
| Raid LFR | Significantly below current-raid Mythic |
| Mythic+ (highest key completed) | Scales with key level — +18 gives top ilvl at Vault |
| Delves (Tier 8+) | Caps at Tier 8 ilvl — pushing higher gives Crests, not ilvl |
| World (Storms/Covenant) | Lower end of current-tier Vault pool |
Weekly checklist to fill all 9 slots
- Raid (3 slots): Kill 7 bosses in any raid difficulty. Mix difficulties freely; highest difficulty determines ilvl.
- Mythic+ (3 slots): Complete 8 M+ keys. Highest-level key determines Vault ilvl for this row.
- World (3 slots): 8 Delves of Tier 4 or higher. Tier 8 Delves give cap item level.
- Bonus: PvP players — rated 1500+ rating gives PvP-row Vault access.
- Time: Everything must be completed between Tuesday resets.
Claiming Vault reward
- Fly to Dornogal.
- Find the Great Vault NPC (crystal in central plaza).
- Right-click → view Vault contents.
- See all 9 slots (or fewer if you didn’t earn them all).
- Click the item you want from any row.
- Choose wisely — can only pick one per week.
- Vault automatically rolls new items for next week on reset.
Strategy — which to pick
| Priority | Pick |
|---|---|
| Best item level | Pick the highest-ilvl item across all 9 options |
| Missing slot | If you lack a specific slot, pick a dedicated upgrade |
| Rare trinket / weapon | Target-reroll by picking items in that slot |
| Crest bonus | Vault also gives Crests regardless of item choice |
| Transmog target | Only pick a lower-ilvl item if transmog is the goal |
Crest rewards
Beside the item choice, Vault also drops seasonal crests (Flightstones, Weathered/Veteran/Champion/Hero/Myth Crests):
- Full 9-slot Vault drops ~15-30 crests per week.
- Crests are used to upgrade your current-tier gear at an upgrade vendor.
- Crest tier matches your highest activity completed that week.
- Crests also drop from activities throughout the week — Vault is bonus.
If Vault isn’t working
- Only showing partial slots? → 2 raid bosses / 4 M+ keys / 2 Delves minimum for first slot each row.
- Vault not visible? → fly to Dornogal; right-click the crystal; must interact once per week.
- Vault reward item level too low? → the activities you ran aren’t high enough tier.
- Vault item won’t equip? → check ilvl + class restrictions.
- Didn’t claim before expiration? → 2-week window from earning; lost after 2 weeks.
- Related: weekly reset, Delves, Timewalking, Mythic+ season.
- Still stuck → Blizzard CS ticket.
FAQ
What is the Great Vault?
WoW’s weekly reward system — a 9-slot chest (3 Raid, 3 Mythic+, 3 World) filled by completing weekly activities. Pick one item per week from your filled slots. Introduced in Shadowlands; now standard in TWW.
How do I fill all 9 slots?
Raid (3 slots): 7 bosses. Mythic+ (3 slots): 8 keys. World (3 slots): 8 Delves of Tier 4+. Complete within Tuesday-to-Tuesday window.
What item level does the Vault give?
Varies by activity tier. Mythic raid gives highest Vault ilvl; LFR gives lower. Mythic+ key level scales — +18 key gives top-tier Vault ilvl. Delves cap at Tier 8 ilvl; pushing higher gives Crests only.
Can I claim an old week’s Vault?
Yes, within 2 weeks of earning it. Unclaimed Vaults expire after 2 weeks. Maximum you can have “banked” is last week’s Vault + current week’s earnable.
What are Crests?
Currency to upgrade gear at vendors. Great Vault drops Crests weekly (15-30 typical) alongside the item choice. Crest tier scales with your highest activity.
Do PvP players get a Vault slot?
Yes — PvP has its own row (not shown by default, but adds a 4th row of slots). Requires rated PvP wins at 1500+ rating.
Can I target-roll items in the Vault?
Partially — the Vault pulls from the activity type’s reward pool (raid Vault pulls from that raid’s loot table, M+ pulls from M+ pool). You can influence pool but not exact item.
