Looking for an easy way to boost your item level in The War Within Season 2? Delves offer one of the best gearing opportunities this season, making it simpler than ever to obtain high-level gear while progressing through Brann’s adventures. With his progression carrying over from Season 1, players will have a much simpler time reaching Tier 8 Delves and maximizing their rewards.

Guaranteed Delver’s Bounty Drop Each Week
A major update in The War Within Season 2 is the increased drop rate of Delver’s Bounty maps. Additionally, there is now a way to guarantee a Delver’s Bounty drop each week.
How to Guarantee a Delver’s Bounty Drop
To secure a Delver’s Bounty, head to Dornogol and purchase the Wave Scrambler 2000 from Sir Finley Mrrgglton for 1,500 Undercoin. Once you reach a Delve checkpoint, use this consumable to summon The Underpin. Defeating The Underpin will leave behind a lootable gold pile, guaranteeing a Delver’s Bounty reward.
Improved Delver’s Bounty Rewards
A key change in The War Within Season 2 is how Delver’s Bounty maps determine their rewards:
-
Previously, rewards were based on the Tier of Delve completed when the map was earned.
-
Now, rewards are based on the Tier of Delve completed when the map is used.
This means you can earn a map from a lower-tier Delve, then use it in a Tier 8 Delve for maximum rewards. However, players are now limited to one map per week, ensuring a steady but balanced reward system.
