Gilded Crests Droping From +9

Gameplay Dungeons, Raids and Scenarios

Hey,

As of now, the only way to up your gear past champion level is to get Gilded crests, which are locked behind the +9 keys and mythic bosses, and at the moment +9 keys feel like +16s from last season with mechanics ticking 25% hp per second, boss aoes killing you instantly if you haven’t saved a defensive, etc. My ilvl atm is at 612 so there is really not much more to cover before getting to “gilded cap” so item lvl will not make a huge difference.

What I am trying to understand is: What is the reasoning here?. When I read the new m+ system, I thought +12 keys would be the old 10s, and there was a scaling made according to that. But playing the game even +6s feels harder than what we faced at +10s last patch.

I was never a top 0.01% player, but I wasn’t also below the top 1% and as of now I was not able to get a single Gilded crest from m+ and I have no idea how the majorty of the wow’s population will get any meaningful progression from the m+ content.

You also get those crests from delves and the last 2 hc raid bosses

3

What tier? cause on 8 you not getting those mythic crest only HC

4

Random drop from 8+ chests.

Gilded crests drop the the ‘hidden’ chests that you get when you use a bountilful map tier 8 and higher. It does not randomly drop from a T8 delve.

Same goes for me im 612 and i was 611 when m+ started, had 8 hc items in vault but socket was to best choice. I Stopped doing m+ before it really got started. Now i will do other content and other games instead while i sit back and wait for cap to increase. Then i will give m+ a shot more in 2-3 weeks.

2 weeks into season, content maybe slightly harder. Dont see the issue.

im sorry but 9s shouldn’t be required to upgrade hero track gear fully… what happened to "“you wont need mythic crests to fully upgrade hero gear anymore”??

gearing is very slow this season due to needing 9s to fully upgrade hero track gear and the 636 crafts costing a whole weeks worth of gilded crests…

Yeah I have a harder time healing a +4 mists then I did a 20+ key 2 season or so ago, I struggle to pug 7’s on my 610 prot warr

that is because you compare late season to early season.
besides, S4 in DF was scuffed.

There are some hard healing check which are not easy and requires attention from the group, but so far most keys were bricked because the tank just flopped either from a boss on fortified or from some trash mobs.
most tanks are just so bad that they randomly die…

the only problem i see is that the death penalty is now so high which bricks keys very quickly.

ah yea and of course most dps are still absolutely terrible. had a lot of dps doing 700k overall dps in +7 or +8 keys…
