Introduction

Vault of the Incarnates Lore

The Primalists broke into the Titan prison, which had been holding the Incarnates for millennia. Raszageth conducts a heinous ceremony within herself in order to free her brothers and rid the planet of the Titans’ control. To eliminate this menace, Azeroth’s heroes must assault this invincible castle and breach its defenses. While many may perish, failure brings the Incarnates’ rule of fire and slaughter to all realms.

Group Loot in Vault of the Incarnates

In the raid, Group Loot is the only form of loot distribution. There is no way to get back to Personal Loot. Personal Loot can still be used on some things, such as profession reagents.

Loot Trading

All item level limitations on trade between members of your raid party have been eliminated completely. While within the raid, you can exchange things with minor item level boosts that are not upgrades (rings, necklaces).

Vault of the Incarnates Item Level Tiering

The Vault of the Incarnates adds a third item level tier where things drop (up from 2). Normal difficulty item level 389 drops from Eranog, The Primal Council, Sennarth, and Terros. 395 is a new intermediate tier (formerly final bosses) for Dathea, Ascended, and Kurog Grimtotem. Broodkeeper Diurna and Raszageth are the last bosses, and 398 is saved for them.

The item level increases stay within the +13 band for each tier of difficulty with Heroic base starting at 402, Mythic at 415, and so forth.

Item Level of Loot in Vault of the Incarnates

Vault of the Incarnates can be cleared on four difficulties — Raid Finder, Normal, Heroic, and Mythic.

• Raid Finder Difficulty: Item Level 376-385;
• Normal Difficulty: Item Level 389-398;
• Heroic Difficulty: Item Level 402-411;
• Mythic Difficulty: Item Level 415-424.

Unique Drops in Vault of the Incarnates

Certain raid monsters will purposely drop one item at a higher item level (+6 or +7 from a boss’s standard table). Unique looks, objects with particular extra effects, or trinkets are examples of such items. The list of Unique Drops for each boss is set and will not change.

Bind-on-Equip (BoE) Items in Vault of the Incarnates

Bind-on-Equip items will drop from ‘Lieutenant’ enemies once per week per difficulty. Trash mobs will no longer drop BoE items in Dragonflight.

Bind-on-Equip Rules in First Weeks of Dragonflight Season 1

Bind-on-Equip items will drop as Bind-on-Pickup items on Mythic Difficulty during the first few weeks of Dragonflight Season 1. The limitation has no effect on other challenges.

Vault of the Incarnates Class Sets

Tier Sets for the first Dragonflight raid are called Vault of the Incarnates Class Sets.

Set pieces begin to drop as tokens in the raid after the fourth fight. Tokens are used to make a Soulbound Vault of the Incarnates Class item for your class.

• Dreadful tokens are shared between Death Knights, Warlock, and Demon Hunters.
• Mystic tokens are shared between Hunters, Druids, and Mages.
• Venerated tokens are shared between Paladins, Priest, and Shamans.
• Zenith tokens are shared between Warriors, Rogues, Monks, and Evokers.
