The Great Vault remains one of the most important progression systems in World of Warcraft: Midnight. It’s your weekly chance at high-level gear, and if you play it smart, it can carry your character’s progression even if your RNG during the week was terrible.

This guide breaks down how the Great Vault works in Midnight, how to unlock all slots efficiently, and how to always pick the best reward.

Great Vault — Quick Summary

• The Great Vault is a weekly reward system

• You can unlock up to 9 reward options

• You can choose only ONE item per week

• Rewards come from:

  • Raids

  • Dungeons (Mythic+)

  • World content (Delves, Prey, etc.)

• Best picks are usually:

  • Weapons

  • Trinkets

  • Tier pieces

The more activities you complete, the higher your chances of getting a real upgrade.

Where Is the Great Vault in Midnight?

In Silvermoon City, there are two Great Vault locations:

• Neutral Vault (Alliance & Horde)

• Horde-only Vault

Coordinates:

• Neutral Vault: /way 50.2 66.2

• Horde Vault: /way 71.8 65.1

The neutral version also has a vendor nearby, which becomes important if your Vault rewards are bad.

How to Unlock Great Vault Slots

The Vault has 3 rows, each with 3 unlockable slots:

That’s 9 total reward options per week.

Even though you can only pick one item, unlocking more slots massively increases your chances of getting something useful.

Raid Row Explained

The raid row is based on:

• Number of bosses killed

• Highest difficulty completed

Key Rule

Higher difficulty overwrites lower rewards.

Example:

• If you kill bosses on Heroic, those rewards replace Normal ones

• Even partial Heroic clears improve your Vault significantly

Strategy

• Try to clear at least a few bosses on higher difficulty

• Even 2–3 Heroic kills can upgrade your Vault quality

Raid row is best for tier sets and BiS raid items.

Dungeon Row Explained (Mythic+)

The dungeon row is the most consistent source of high-end gear.

How It Works

• Rewards scale based on your highest Mythic+ level completed

• More runs = more Vault options

Unlock Requirements

• 1 run → 1 option

• 4 runs → 2 options

• 8 runs → 3 options

Why It’s So Good

• Easier than Mythic raiding

• Repeatable content

• Reliable high ilvl rewards

Even completing one +10 run can secure a top-tier Vault reward.

Pro Tip

If you’re serious about gearing:

• Always aim for at least 4–8 Mythic+ runs per week

• Prioritize higher keys over quantity

World Row Explained (Delves, Prey & More)

The World row is much stronger in Midnight than before.

It includes:

• Delves

• Prey Hunts

• World events

• Open-world objectives

Unlock Requirements

• 2 activities → 1 option

• 4 activities → 2 options

• 8 activities → 3 options

Why It Matters

• Can reward Hero-level gear

• Very easy to complete

• Perfect for casual players

You can finish all 8 activities in just a few hours.

This row is extremely valuable for:

• Filling missing gear slots

• Catching up on alts

• Easy weekly upgrades

What’s the Best Item to Pick?

Choosing the right item is where most players mess up.

Step 1: Check Your Spec

Make sure you selected the correct specialization before opening the Vault.

Yes — people still brick their weekly reward because of this.

Step 2: Prioritize Smartly

Here’s the correct priority:

1. Weapons (biggest upgrade)

2. Trinkets (often BiS defining)

3. Tier pieces (if bonuses are strong)

4. Big armor slots:

   • Chest

   • Legs

   • Head

Step 3: Consider Stats

Item level is important, but stats matter too.

A slightly lower ilvl item with perfect stats can outperform a higher one.

Step 4: No Upgrades? Take Currency

If your Vault is unlucky:

• Take Thalassian Token of Merit

• Use it for sockets or future upgrades

Not exciting — but still useful.

Best Weekly Vault Strategy

If you want consistent upgrades every week, follow this:

Minimum Efficient Routine

• 1 high Mythic+ run

• 4–8 Delves or world activities

• Optional raid kills

Optimal Routine

• 4–8 Mythic+ runs

• 8 world activities

• Several raid bosses (preferably Heroic+)

Unlocking 6–9 slots weekly gives you the best chances.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• ❌ Opening Vault with wrong spec

• ❌ Prioritizing ilvl over stats

• ❌ Ignoring World row (big mistake in Midnight)

• ❌ Doing many low keys instead of fewer high ones

• ❌ Skipping weekly Vault entirely

Final Thoughts

The Great Vault in World of Warcraft: Midnight is one of the most reliable gearing systems in the game.

If you use it correctly:

• You get guaranteed weekly upgrades

• You reduce RNG frustration

• You progress faster with less grind

Best takeaway:

Always unlock as many slots as possible
Always prioritize high-impact gear
Never skip your weekly Vault
