For the second time in a row, my lvl 9 delve has given me a reward with a wrong item level (603 instead of 610). Submitted a bug report twice, no answers so far.
What is the point of even entering delves if you do not get the gear you are supposed to? As far as I know, several players have already reported this…
How long does it take to be fixed?
That’s not the wrong item level. That’s the correct item level, it caps out at 603.

610 is only rewarded from the Bountiful Map’s extra chest.
Otherwise the rewards are capped/max at level 8. Level 9 doesn’t give anything extra.

As the replies suggest. It caps out at rank 8 with 603ilvl drops. Not a bug.

They are incorrect as well.
Delve maximum item level is 603, you can get 610 from the map chest ( if you are lucky enough to get one).

Would be nice if higher delve = higher reward. Or higher map drop chance on higher level or something.
Ye it’s just few days ago i figured out it actually doesn’t. And it’s weird that it doesn’t work that way. It should. Because now there’s no point of going higher tiers.
Theres achievements attached to doing the and ofc unlocking zekvir ?? Mode. Its the same with M+. Once you go past a certain threshold you no longer get increase in ilvl.
Plus if they did increase it for every lvl they would just make lvl 12 drop 603 instead as a bigger increase would negate doing raiding at all.

You do raiding for achievemnts aswell, not just gear… Just like you mentioned above with Delves.
Nothing wrong with getting good gear in Delves. It’s nowhere written it is a bad thing. We make the rules. And it’s nothing, but a subjective opinion of each of us what is or is not a good thing.
I’m of two minds on this. On one hand; it would be nice to be able to continue and get rewarded for it. On the other hand; I enjoy just doing 8’s now and feeling more relaxed and comfy whilst playing. I’m not a tryhard type player and the first 2 weeks 8’s weren’t fun for me. When I began to get geared, I noticed the difference and that was cool.
It’s why I’ve stopped gearing my alts. At first I wanted to gear several characters like this, but I’m noticing such a difference in performance between the different characters, it makes me not want to play the alts. I want to enjoy WoW more relaxed; as I usually do.
But yeah, that does mean that gearing up has really slowed down to a crawl on my main, unless I feel like grinding lvl 8 in hopes of getting some maps so I can get 2 more gilded crests to upgrade my hero gear with, but this is such a grindy process and based on RNG that I really don’t feel like doing that.
I think there could be a nice middle-ground.
Like having higher delves drop a bit more crests and maybe levels 10 and 11 even 1 and 2 gilded crests respectively; at least that would make them worth doing more. The gear level cap is fine imo, but the crest buff would be very nice.
But no one would ever force you to higher tiers. Just like m+, just like raiding. You could keep doing ur t8’s.
I was honestly a little upset, that Delves didn’t increase their Rewards after 8+
As I understood it, the Delves were suppose to be content for the Solo Player or Players who didn’t engage in Raiding or M+
Yet, we need Heroic Raid or M+ gear to do the highest tiers of Delves, which I feel kinda destroys the whole purpose.

Thanks everyone for the reply, I must have misread the info then.
It seems it is indeed capped at 603, even on bountiful delves with keys.

But you wouldnt bother with raiding
If you could get better gear from a 10 min delve. Thats my point. Blizz have to balance the content so theres a purpose to it. And lets face it, the playerbase has been incredibly lucky to get given such a high ilvl drops from what effectively is faceroll content.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they nerf this in future content.
So people are only raiding for the Gear? Not for the excitement, the chance of taking down a tough boss, a challenge? It’s literally just the gear?
Also, what would it matter that Solo Players were able to get gear the same level as Raiders? It’s not like it would give them any advantage, since PVE gear isn’t used for PVP.
Yes, primarily people raid to get gear. Thats what end content is mainly about. Thats why each season we get an increase to max possible ilvl?
Comparitively delves are a joke in relation to HC raiding. They shouldn’t be getting the same ilvl as rewards imo. They would have to significantly increase the difficulty to match it, but its too late for them to do that now, which is why I said I wouldn’t be surprised if ilvl drops in future content would get nerfed in comparison with HC raiding.
But that’s literally same with Delves xd.
You said you do high delves for achivs, that’s ur argument when i said there is no point of doing them, because there is no reward.
When i say the same thing about raids, you said what i said about delves xd.
You see the irony in hypocrisy?
Anything below Mythic Raiding is WoW is also kind of a joke. Most of the time, you don’t even need to think, you just follow the instructions your Addons throw at you.
Which is also why I think Blizzard should stop making Raiding about Gearing up. But instead make the Raid Rewards into Transmogs, Mounts, etc. So people actually do the content, because they want a challenge or Reward. Not just because it’s the way to gear up.

I never said the main purpose of delves were for achievements. I said after level 8 thats what you can aim for along with unlocking Zekvir??. Don’t put words in my mouth.
How would you oropose people to get better gear? Or are you suggesting to removing gear entirely?
