Shadowlands - The Great Vault Guide

Shadowlands - The Great Vault Guide
The Great Vault is the new weekly chest system added in Shadowlands. It has the potential to give you up to 9 different options to pick an item from per week based on the activities you do across raiding, mythic plus, and PvP. Here is a rundown of the system.

COMPLETING ACTIVITIES TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF OPTIONS IN YOUR VAULT DOES NOT GIVE YOU EXTRA GEAR. IT ONLY GIVES YOU MORE OPTIONS. YOU CAN STILL ONLY PICK ONE PIECE TOTAL BETWEEN ALL 9 OPTIONS, NOT 1 PER ROW.


How to Fill the Vault
  • Mythic Plus (You do not have to beat the timer)
    • Complete 1 Mythic Plus Dungeon
    • Complete 4 Mythic Plus Dungeons
    • Complete 10 Mythic Plus Dungeons
  • Raiding
    • Defeat 3 Raid Bosses
    • Defeat 7 Raid Bosses
    • Defeat 10 Raid Bosses
  • PvP
    • Earn 1250 Honor Points from Rated PvP
    • Earn 2500 Honor Points from Rated PvP
    • Earn 6250 Honor Points from Rated PvP


Determining the Quality of Rewards
  • Raid Options
    • Killing raid bosses adds up to 3 choices to your vault that come from the raid gear pool.
    • Killing bosses on higher difficulties rewards gear equivalent to the difficulty in your vault. However, the options are tied to the number of that difficulty.
      • Example - Killing 7 bosses on Mythic and 3 on Heroic will reward you with the first 2 options from Mythic and last from Heroic.
    • You must have killed the last two bosses on the difficulty of the reward options in order for their loot tables to be added as potential options.
  • Mythic Plus
    • You still get credit for keys that you completed but did not time.
    • Your first reward option is determined by the highest level Mythic Plus dungeon you completed the week prior.
    • Your second option is based on the 4th highest mythic plus dungeon you completed the week prior.
    • Your 3rd option is based on the 10th highest mythic plus dungeon you completed the week prior.
    • Example - If you do 4 +15's in a week and 6 +10's, your first two options would be determined by +15s and your last would be a +10.
    • Mythic Plus Item Level Rewards
      • Mythic 2 - 200
      • Mythic 3 - 203
      • Mythic 4 - 207
      • Mythic 5 - 210
      • Mythic 6 - 210
      • Mythic 7 - 213
      • Mythic 8 - 216
      • Mythic 9 - 216
      • Mythic 10 - 220
      • Mythic 11 - 220
      • Mythic 12 - 223
      • Mythic 13 - 223
      • Mythic 14 - 226
      • Mythic 15 - 226
  • PvP
    • Your rewards are entirely determined by your Rated PvP rating.
      • Rating Rewards
        • Unranked - 200
        • 1400 to 1599 - 207
        • 1600 to 1799 - 213
        • 1800 to 2099 - 220
        • 2100+ - 226


Opening the Vault
  • On reset, you will be able to open your vault, which is accessed at the Hall of Holding in Oribos.
  • Based on the objectives you completed throughout the week, you will be able to choose 1 item from a potential of 9.
  • If you decide you don't want any of the items, you can instead receive anima.


Week 1 Item Level Cap
Originally Posted by Blizzard (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)
Mythic Keystone dungeons and ranked PvP are opening with the beginning of Season 1 tomorrow, and there are a few aspects of the first week of the Season to highlight.

During this first week of Mythic Keystone dungeons, there is a cap on the increase of item level of end-of-run loot. That loot will stop increasing at Mythic Keystone +10 for this first week, which is item level 203. However, the Great Vault will be uncapped the following week, and loot from the Great Vault (on December 15 in this region) will reflect successful completions achieved during the week of December 8. The Great Vault will award item level 226 for completing Mythic Keystone +14, and other completion item levels can be viewed in the Mythic Keystone tab of the Dungeons and Raid window once the season begins.

For this first week of the Season in PvP, item-level upgrades of Conquest equipment are capped at item level 220, requiring Rival (rank 4). Starting with the second week, (again that’s December 15 in this region), item level upgrades of Conquest equipment are uncapped. There are no caps on the Great Vault’s PvP considerations. Duelists (rank 5) or higher will receive item level 226 equipment from the Great Vault.

Good luck out there!

    Can anyone confirm the rewards for pvp are based on your highest rating of the week vs. the one you end the week on? Just curious like if you hit 1800 in one week, then dip to 1799. Does it do the 1800 rewards or 1600? I think its the highest, but that isn't confirmed in game as far as I can tell. Edit: I guess you could just test that scenario and see which rewards you get. Either way I guess we will know today.

    it's highest rated of the week, but also it is irrelevant as if you finish the week at 1799 and pick a reward, as soon as you hit 1800 again you could upgrade it with honor

    Sort from highest to lowest, look at 1st 4th and 10th run to see which options you get.
    I finally understood. The tooltip is so bad I can’t believe it.

    If you do 4 runs the system takes simply into account the highest and the lowest you do.

    Really horrible tooltip imho.

    In what other way could you possibly interpret "Your second option is based on the 4th highest mythic plus dungeon you completed"?
    I don't see how it could be explained any simpler.

    Can confirm the new vault system is garbage, Just did Heroic Sire, and 2 bosses on raid finder. All I will get is Not the Heroic+ piece sire would have dropped if I had ANY luck with RNG in the many years I have played, all i get is the 187 pieces, I guess I will have to waIT FOR THE NEXT XPAC FOR A WEAPON
    8 sire kills and not ONE single weapon or drop...pretty pathetic

    You know you're guaranteed to get the gear from the lowest difficulty you killed a boss in, right? Also this post is like 2 months old.
