Gear Progression from Activities

Nightmare Prey Hunts award two pieces of item level 246 Champion (1/6) gear each week.

Completing Tier 8+ Bountiful Delves awards up to four pieces of item level 250 Champion (2/6) gear every day, though this is limited in practice by the number of Coffer Key Shards.

Completing Tier 8+ Bountiful Delve with a Trovehunter's Bounty activated will award a piece of item level 259 Hero (1/6) gear each week.

Upon reaching Rank 9 on the Delves Season Journey, Tier 11 Bountiful Delves will have a chance to award item level 259 Hero (1/6) gear and unlock a vendor to purchase more.

Endgame gear can be crafted at 272 item level using Sparks of Radiance and Hero crests.

The occasional weekly quest, such as A Shrouded Path Through Time or Cache of Timewarped Treasures, will award a Champion or Hero-track item, though these are not particularly regular sources of gear.

Comment by AsarkhadonI'm ilvl 278 and I still do not have Hero of the Dawn, so assuming that a solo-player has earned this from the described set of limited options is rather bold.Comment by TheRealArchonthis is quite misleading. if you want to do high level delves, unless you're on a high sustain class or a tank you're not soloing it...Comment by cantbefixedFor hero of the dawn achiev you just need everything upgraded to max using hero crests, assuming you have every hero slot from m+/raid, which for an only char is not that hard to get.
And for the high level delves, i did all my L11 delves starting with 220 ilvl on every single alt.Comment by FordPrfctthis is quite misleading. if you want to do high level delves, unless you're on a high sustain class or a tank you're not soloing it...Comment by potexet522this is quite misleading. if you want to do high level delves, unless you're on a high sustain class or a tank you're not soloing it...Comment by Knocturnalthis is quite misleading. if you want to do high level delves, unless you're on a high sustain class or a tank you're not soloing it...Comment by Zentronthis is quite misleading. if you want to do high level delves, unless you're on a high sustain class or a tank you're not soloing it...Comment by EsploratoreIf by hard you mean it's possible to die if you're not careful as a dps in t11 delves, I agree, especially when some accidental big pull happens, but not to the extent that they're not doable.

And people here have valeera maxed (60), but it's doable even with her at 30.Comment by JaycoI'm ilvl 278 and I still do not have Hero of the Dawn, so assuming that a solo-player has earned this from the described set of limited options is rather bold.Comment by Bishlemmesmashwhy even play an MMO just to play solo?Comment by Jaycothis is quite misleading. if you want to do high level delves, unless you're on a high sustain class or a tank you're not soloing it...Comment by Kontrywhy even play an MMO just to play solo?Comment by BriandrisI'm ilvl 278 and I still do not have Hero of the Dawn, so assuming that a solo-player has earned this from the described set of limited options is rather bold.Comment by Skunkmeisterthis is quite misleading. if you want to do high level delves, unless you're on a high sustain class or a tank you're not soloing it...Comment by jokeychanthis is quite misleading. if you want to do high level delves, unless you're on a high sustain class or a tank you're not soloing it...Comment by Eighjanthis is quite misleading. if you want to do high level delves, unless you're on a high sustain class or a tank you're not soloing it...this is quite misleading. if you want to do high level delves, unless you're on a high sustain class or a tank you're not soloing it...Comment by EsoterickI'm ilvl 278 and I still do not have Hero of the Dawn, so assuming that a solo-player has earned this from the described set of limited options is rather bold.Comment by AsarkhadonI'm ilvl 278 and I still do not have Hero of the Dawn, so assuming that a solo-player has earned this from the described set of limited options is rather bold.It's per slot. you need to "outgrow" the use of your current crest level in every slot to obtain the achievement.Comment by Eighjanthis is quite misleading. if you want to do high level delves, unless you're on a high sustain class or a tank you're not soloing it...Definitely harder for some than othersDefinitely harder for some than othersmore of Comment by hoyboy1423this is quite misleading. if you want to do high level delves, unless you're on a high sustain class or a tank you're not soloing it...
