WoW: The War Within: How To Get Delver's Bounty Maps

The new Delve feature introduced in The War Within has been very positively received by players, in part thanks to the sheer amount of gearing you can get done with this new system. In addition to two chests at the end of normal Delves (containing basic gear), there are Bountiful Delves which have an unlockable chest with higher iLvl loot than normal – but there's an even better chest you can unlock by using Delver's Bounty Maps.

Delver's Bounty Maps are rare items that can only be acquired under certain conditions within a Delve, and these items are quickly becoming highly sought-after for gear. That's because the Hidden Trove it reveals contains some of the highest-tier Delve loot in The War Within. For a chance to get a Delver's Bounty Map in the first place, though, TWW players must follow a few requirements.

Delver's Bounty Maps Unlock Extra Loot In Bountiful Delves

In The War Within, Delver's Bounty Maps are new Epic Consumable items that are used with the new Delve system to guarantee a high-level chest at the end of specific Delves. When you get a Delver's Bounty Map, it should automatically be attuned for the Delve Tier you are currently on. The next time you complete a Delve at that Tier or above, you will get an extra reward at the end.

On consumption, your character will get a Buff that persists through death and applies to the next Delve you take on at or above the Tier you acquired the Map on. The next time you complete a Delve at the required Tier, an extra loot chest will spawn at the end called a Hidden Trove.

Bountiful Delves will always have a Bountiful Coffer in the Treasure Room that can be unlocked with a Restored Coffer Key, which always contains gear scaled to the Delve Tier. But Hidden Troves reward even better gear at around iLvl 600 to 610 for Tiers 7 and 8, and are also guaranteed to contain Harbinger Crests, curio items for customizing Brann's loadout, and other currencies.

How To Get Delver's Bounty Maps

WoW TWW Delver's Bounty Map Bountiful Chest Location

To get a Delver's Bounty Map, WoW TWW players must complete a Bountiful Delve on any difficulty and open one of the two normal reward chests – not the Bountiful Coffer. These are not guaranteed rewards from the end-of-Delve chests – they have a very, very low drop rate, so it may take several Bountiful Delves until you get one.

There is a second method, but if you haven't received one from the daily Bountiful Delves then you may have to leave it up to chance. Though Delver's Bounty Maps do not normally drop in normal Delves, they can show up if you are caught by Zekvir (which can happen randomly in high-tier Delves). You don't have to survive the sudden attack, you just have to complete the Delve afterward to have a chance at getting a Delver's Bounty Map in the ending reward chests.

You can only get three Delver's Bounty Maps per character on a weekly basis in TWW, so to get the best gear on your main, you should rank up your Delve Tiers with an Alt first. If they find any Delver's Bounty Maps on the way to Tier 8, they will reward gear that scales to the Tier you acquired it on instead of Tier 8.

Then, your main can head straight into Tier 8 Delves and have a chance to get only the highest Tier of the Delver's Bounty Map instead of any lower Tier versions.
