📚 Delves glossary

The vocabulary you'll hear in Delve chat, in groups, and in Wowhead guides. One sentence each, no fluff.

Tier (T1-T11): The difficulty level of a Delve. Each tier scales mob HP/damage and the end-chest item level. T11 = max, 636 ilvl rewards.
Bountiful: A daily-rotating flag on 5 of the 13 Delves. Bountiful runs drop an extra guaranteed piece from the Gilded Stash on top of the normal end-chest.
Gilded Stash: The bonus chest that appears in Bountiful Delves after the boss dies. Opens with a Restored Coffer Key. Contains 1 guaranteed gear piece at tier ilvl.
Brann Bronzebeard: Your AI follower companion. Choose his role pre-Delve: Damage (fast clears), Healer (solo squishy classes), or Tank (niche). Levels up to 60 with use.
Great Vault piece: Weekly chest unlocked at reset. Clearing 3 Delves of any tier unlocks 3 vault gear options to pick from. Higher tier = higher ilvl options.
Restored Coffer Key: The currency to open Bountiful Gilded Stashes. Cap is 16 keys — overflow is wasted. Earn from world content, daily quests, and some events.
Curio: Mid-Delve consumables that trigger random buffs or threats. Some buff your party, some spawn extra mobs. Pick carefully past T7.
Gear track (Champion / Hero / Myth): The upgrade ladder for end-Delve gear. Champion track caps lowest, Myth highest. Crests from Delves let you upgrade pieces along their track.
