What changed in Season 2

Delves are short solo or small-group scenarios. You pick a tier from 1 to 11, clear the story objectives and the end boss, and open a coffer at the end. A companion fights with you, and in Season 2 that companion is Valeera Sanguinar.

Our client data lists 12 delves with a Bountiful map pin and 45 story scenarios across them, so each delve plays out as one of several stories. The table below links each one to its full objective list.

Client data from build 12.1.0.69933.

Zone comes from the parent of each delve's map in the client. Stories is the number of client scenarios whose steps carry the delve's name. The last column lists the distinct kill objectives that close those stories.

Bountiful delves, Coffer Keys and shards

A Bountiful delve has a locked coffer at the end. A Restored Coffer Key opens it. The client describes the pieces like this:

All 12 rotation delves have a Bountiful version of their map pin in the client, so any of them can come up Bountiful. Venomfall Deeps has no Bountiful pin. Which delves are Bountiful today is live server state. We do not track it, so this page does not claim a current list.

A hidden tracker currency in the client carries a designer note: Delver's Journey and companion experience from Bountiful end-of-run rewards count 28 times a week per account, and treasure chests are not bound by that cap. It is an internal note, not patch text, so treat it as a datamined hint. Source: TheWoWDB datamine of the retail client.

Nemesis: Azta'rec in Venomfall Deeps

The client files Venomfall Deeps on The Coiled Isle as one scenario with a single objective, "Azta'rec defeated". The Feats of Strength below are the client rows for this season's fight.
