World of Warcraft's Exciting New Feature "Delvs" Unveiled in War Within Expansion

All new content and rewards coming with the expansion.
by Tit Krajnik on April 19, 2024   

In 2023, Blizzard announced Delves as a new feature to be added to World of Warcraft with the War Within expansion. While some information has been available for months, Blizzard recently shared more details about the new, exciting feature.

Delves, while a new feature in World of Warcraft, should be familiar to any RPG player. They can be found in Diablo IV and Elder Scrolls; however, for the first time in history, Delves will also make their debut in World of Warcraft.

 

 

What are Delves In the World of Warcraft: The War Within?

Delves are scalable instances for one to five players, offering unique challenges and loot, including cosmetics and gear. Delves will also count towards the Great Vault for world content players, which will integrate Delves into the endgame content.

Compared to Mythic+ dungeons, Delves are expected to offer lower-item level gear, as the loot scales only up to Mythic +5. With the new Mythic system, this translates to Mythic +15 in the older system.

Besides sharing information on the loot and the basic idea behind Delves, Blizzard also unveiled some interesting details:

  • Delves will be a part of seasonal content, meaning they'll offer rewards for players each season. This includes achievements, pets, mounts, and more.
  • Delves will be available for one up to five people and will be role-agnostic. This means that a player or a group of players will be free to choose any role they wish, meaning a five-healer or five-tank group is a viable option.
  • Delves are intended to be shorter, offering 10-15-minute adventures with objectives, puzzles, and enemies to kill.
  • Each Delve will be unique and offer different challenges; for example, some will have bosses, and others will have more puzzles.
  • Delves Great Vault rewards will go up to Heroic Raid level in power
  • Delves will have a narrative and NPC companions, which can fill different roles and can level-up to gain more powerful abilities.

 

Which Delves Will be Added at Launch?

As revealed, there will be 12 Delves at the launch of WoW: The War Within. However, Blizzard has teased that there will be a hidden Delve the players will have to find, and it's more than fair to say more Delves will be added in later seasons.

Delves per Zone:

Hallowfall

  • Skittering Breach
  • Nightfall Sanctum
  • The Sinkhole
  • Mycomancer Cavern

Isle of Dorn

  • Earthcrawl Mines
  • Kriegval's Rest
  • Fungal Folly

The Ringing Deeps

  • The Waterworks
  • The Dread Pit
  • Deepwalker Hold

Azj-Kahet

  • The Spiral Weave
  • Rak-Rethan Abyss


Each of the 12 Delves will be different, with the idea being that each will feel distinctly different than the others and offer unique gameplay. Some Delves include bosses, while others will have more puzzle-focused and other non-combat-related challenges; however, all will offer rewards regardless of what challenges they offer. 

Delves seem to be Blizzard's attempt to add new, evergreen content to the game to appeal to different types of players. But it's clear that Blizzard intends to make Delves a major new piece of content for players to do for loot outside of Mythic+ dungeons, raids, and open-world events.
