How to Earn Delver's Journey Points

To accumulate Delver's Journey points, you must complete Bountiful Delves in The War Within. Currently, progress cannot be made through non-Bountiful Delves. Here’s a breakdown of how many points you can earn:

  • Encountering Zekvir during a Delve: 60 points from the Hulking Raptorial Claw

  • Completing a Tier 4 Bountiful Delve: 50 points

  • Completing a Tier 5 Bountiful Delve: 75 points

  • Completing a Tier 6 Bountiful Delve: 100 points

  • Completing a Tier 7 Bountiful Delve: 125 points

  • Completing a Tier 8 Bountiful Delve: 150 points

  • Opening a Bountiful Coffer with a Restored Coffer Key: 250 points (regardless of Tier)

  • Looting the Archaic Cipher Key and completing the one-time quest "The Key to Success": 1,500 points

For enemies affected by Zekvir's Influence, the points seem to vary, but completing a Tier 8 Delve with all Zekvir-influenced enemies defeated yielded 187 points in one instance.

Understanding Delver's Journey Progression

Season 1 of The War Within features 10 ranks in the Delver's Journey. You can check your progress by navigating to the Delves tab in the Group Finder window.

Key Numbers:

  • 4,200 points are required to progress by one rank.

  • To reach the maximum rank, you will need a total of 42,000 points.

  • If you focus solely on Tier 8 Bountiful Delves without opening any Bountiful Coffers, you would need to complete approximately 280 Tier 8 Delves, which translates to about 70 days if you run 4 Bountiful Delves per day.

However, your progress can be accelerated by encountering Zekvir, defeating Zekvir-influenced enemies, and opening Bountiful Coffers. Since the Delver's Journey is bound to your Warband, utilizing multiple characters can also help speed up the process.

For those curious about their exact progress, you can use the following macro:
