I grinded for hours to open all the doors last week and collected some stones (there is absolutely no chance I will have time to do it on any other character). Today I logged in and the doors are closed again, so I expect a hotfix as the keys disappeared as I opened the doors. You could send the keys across your characters, but the drop rate is so low, it just takes too long (you need around 30 keys) to do for people that do not have many hours to spend on it. If the intention is that we have to grind 30 keys every week on every character, then this is laughable design. Maybe increase the key drop rate 10x.
nah, thankfully it doesn’t appear to be like that.
you gotta do it one or two weeks if you’re just after the ring upgraded to the max, some lucky ppl managed all last week.
and after you get the proper gems and fragments required to upgrade, i dont see any reason to go back.
Looks like you don’t know, that you could buy Sack of Oddities from Cataloger Daela for 2,000 Elemental Overflow. It has a chance to have the key or some amount of Elemental Overflows in return. In average you get a key for every ~3000 Elemental Overflow spent, at least this is how it was the first week.
I did not know that - thank you for that… I interacted with that vendor previously, but this is yet another obfuscated thing…
Yeah, WoW really sucks in explaining things. Almost every activity requires research on wowhead, icy-veins and google to be effective.

C-can you still get the ring if you skip the intro quests on an alt? 
It did ask me if i wanted to forfeit the rewards or not. But that very essential ring I did not think about.
Do i delete my warrior and level a new one now? 
yes, you can
Care to tell me how? >< does it drop later from the world bosses in the forbidden reach?
lol no, i forgot exactly, but i know i skipped everything on alts and still have the rings.
it was all a blur during the weekend, but i think they send you in the vault and there they send you back again to the village and you get the ring then. (so , first its vault visit)
Nice! thats a relief Kinda shat bricks there for a second.
you can sell dem bricks as firewood, i hear the bills are tough in the UK

I am n to even interested in farming the vault weekly. Thats even worse then thorghast because all it is is about a ring truely only gives me stam.
Honestly, I’ve been so uninterested in the new “content”, I have no clue how to get the new ring. Should google at some point, I guess 
Maybe you just lack the common sense and that’s why you need research?
Just because you don’t like it does not make it disgusting you troll
The Primalist Future event is a good way to farm fragments for the ring. The event timer is quite flexible and only takes about 10 minutes for 6-7 fragments (I think the first completion each week is about double that). I like the ring, but the gear is what it is.
The “grinds” in this game definitely aren’t what they used to be. One week and you are done (or a couple of hours, if you just go for the rewards). The vault this week was very similar to last week. Also: the Salamanther epic mount has dropped 3 times already for me. Drop rates for everything seem super high.
The catch-up gear is stupidly easy to get. It makes me sad about the gear that I earned and upgraded from PvP. Conquest gear without upgrades is now totally worthless for PvE (it’s still nice for PvP, of course).
That’s way too much just for a chance. I’d expect at least 3 keys for that much. I only have 10k Overflow. I’ve not been in the Vault this wwek as I only have 3 keys left from last week and that won’t get me much.
Where do folk get so many keys or overflow?
Do the Storms reward well? Or is it just Rare hunting? Neither sound like fun. Are there groups that circle the Reach killing rares like there were in Zerith Mortis? Are they worth joining?
I feel that the new zone is basically Timeless Isle (v 5.0) other than killing rares and collecting keys for the vault where the rewards are basically pointless for anyone over 415 ilvl (The ring has still been simmed as a DPS loss for a lot of classes).
It kind of feels like a rare farming island for your alts, I feel its tailored more to be a “catch up” patch rather than a true content patch as there is not really anything to progress a “main”.
I wish they would stop releasing these half patches and just invest the time in “actual” patches for your main character to progress through rather than “heres another grinding isle with a new rep and pointless gear tokens”
Lets be honest the .5 patch’s are generally just “catch up” patches to try to entice new and returning players so they are not so far behind in the chase for better gear and not really for the people who are playing consistently and most days.
Start of dragonflight heres the Spark of Imagination craft 385,s
patch 10.0.7(Heres some free 385 gear for basically nothing)
Not my type of content. I don’t like repeating things to many times. I can do it for a bit, then I, without warning ahead, can’t stomach it any more. It’s perfectly gine to do it a little though, I don’t mind that at all!
I don’t need the ring or the gems though. I will see if I can do it a few more times, but I am not gonna actively seek keys. Rare hunting suits me extremly poorly atm, as it’s a lot of waiting around. I am too poorly geared to have much impact on rares alone, and too lazy to spend 15-20 minutes using various tricks and kiting to attempt killing them solo.
That said, I haven’t even tried getting keys or pulling rares yet. I might be talking out of my butt. I have visted the vault though, and opened maybe 7 doors. 3 of which I lacked the items to be able to loot the chests from.
This was the instant feeling I got too. Might also be due to the alt tokens than dropped… And the vault reminded me of thunder isle, but I never really got to that, do might be wrong.
