Why Leveling Brann is Important

Leveling Brann Bronzebeard improves:

• Delve performance (healing, tanking, or DPS)

• Reputation gains and loot quality

• Unlocks rare rewards like:

  • Delver’s Gob-Trotter Schematic: Gold

  • Ivory Goliathus mount

  • Underpin Challenge achievement: Let Me Solo Him

Brann’s scaling is crucial if you're focused on efficient Delve clears and endgame completionism.

Ways to Gain Brann XP

Brann’s progression is reputation-based. This means:

• You gain XP via Bountiful Delves.

• Brann’s XP is account-wide, tied to your Warband reputation.

• Each week, players can complete up to 28 Bountiful Delves per character.

After Brann reaches level 15, only Bountiful Delves provide XP, making them your primary focus for leveling.

How to Level Brann Faster

✅ 1. Complete Bountiful Delves Regularly

• These are XP-yielding Delves after Brann hits level 15.

• The higher the difficulty, the more XP Brann receives.

• Lower-tier Delves are not worth running if you’re focused on min-maxing.

 Tip: Track which Delves offer Bountiful status and rotate them efficiently.

⚡️ 2. Use Warband Alts to Multiply Progress

• Each Warband character can run 28 Bountiful Delves per week.

• All XP earned from any Warband alt contributes to Brann’s leveling.

• This turns leveling Brann into a Warband-wide effort, multiplying weekly progress.

⚙️  3. Stack All Available Reputation Buffs

Reputation buffs directly increase Brann XP gains: 

• Warband bonus perks

• Delves Weekly Event Buff

• Darkmoon Faire WHEE! Buff (+10%)

• Darkmoon Top Hat (stacks with WHEE!)

Stack these buffs before heading into your Delves each day for maximum efficiency.

☑️ 4. Prioritize the Delves Weekly Event

• During this event, Delve reputation gains are significantly boosted.

• Check your calendar or NPC Archivist Frithrun in Dornogal to confirm the event is active.

• Farm Brann XP hard during these weeks for major leaps.

⚔️ 5. Run Delves at the Highest Possible Difficulty

• Higher difficulties = more XP.

• Since only Bountiful Delves count post-15, always run them on the highest difficulty you can complete efficiently.

• Optimize your Brann build using best-in-slot Curios to ensure smooth clears.

✨ 6. Group Up for Faster Clears

• Running Delves solo is possible, but much slower.

• Groups clear faster, letting you chain-run Delves and maximize XP/hour.

• Playing with friends or PUGs is a great way to blitz through Bountiful Delves.
