We’re looking at the Great Vault in the War Within in more detail, covering where to find it, changes compared to Dragonflight, and the item level of rewards you can get.
Discover the New Location of the Great Vault in the War Within
The Great Vault has a new home in the War Within expansion, now located in Dornogal, specifically in an area called Council’s Treasury.
Here is what it looks like in the War Within:
You’ll find it just behind the bankers, making it easy to access for your weekly rewards. To locate it quickly, simply open the Dornogal map (M) and look for the Great Vault icon.
What’s New with the Great Vault in War Within?
Significant changes have come to the Great Vault with the War Within expansion. The PvP tab is now a thing of the past, replaced by a new World tab that includes Delves and World Events. However, the Raids and Dungeons tabs remain unchanged.
How to Unlock Rewards in the Great Vault’s New Tab?
To unlock rewards in the World tab during Season 1, you need to complete the following:
- 3 Delves or World Activities
- 6 Delves or World Activities
- 12 Delves or World Activities
World activities, such as the Theater Troupe in the Isle of Dorn and Awakening the Machine in the Ringing Deeps, will contribute to your Great Vault progress. Remember, these activities count as Tier 1 Delves, so completing higher-tier Delves is crucial for securing top-tier rewards.
