Blizzard Clarifies Shadowlands Season 4 Great Vault Details

Posted 2022/08/01 at 8:14 PM by Squishei

With Shadowlands Season 4 starting this week, we want to provide extra clarification on this week’s Great Vault. Here’s what to expect:

Time a Mythic+ 18 to earn a +15 keystone this week.
Season 4 Great Vault rewards will begin next week.
Attendant’s Tokens of Merit selected this week can only be sold for 1000 gold each.

This week’s vault will be capped at Season 3 item level, and next week’s vault will be at Season 4 item level. Thanks for the question! I’ve updated the post to clarify.

The tokens for sockets and such did NOT reset from Season 2 to Season 3, and sockets were magically added after a few weeks in S3. A lot of us were expecting a little advantage from stockpiling 2 sockets worth of tokens going into S4 because that's how you set it up. Then you announce that during last week's reset, effectively throwing some efforts away for a very, very small amount of gold. That's not nice.

The advantage wouldn't have been massive going into S4 but would have incentivised taking the proper decision between a very minor gear upgrade (or sometimes not an upgrade at all) and taking currency to use for next tier. You know, a meaningful choice for once :-)Comment by DarnellRooseveltIf it weren't for Wowhead.com and the like, no one would understand a damned thing in the game. Blizzard, after 17+ years, still does an incredibly poor job of teaching the random systems they use for each expansion.Comment by couchpotato2013If it weren't for Wowhead.com and the like, no one would understand a damned thing in the game.

Like why does this even need to be clarified, more like an ask your guild chat questionComment by lovelywazAttendant’s Tokens of Merit selected this week can only be sold for 1000 gold each.Comment by NevcairielAs expected, the vault gives you loot for what you did last week, this is how it has worked every season switch.Comment by LuxuriiaIf it weren't for Wowhead.com and the like, no one would understand a damned thing in the game.

You could not use the socket items or the currency used for buying sockets from season 2 in season 3. Sorry.
