Blizzard Reveals WoW's "Vault Of The Incarnates" Raid Schedule, Mythic Loot BoP For First Few Weeks

Blizzard has revealed the raid schedule for World of Warcraft: Dragonflight's "Vault of the Incarnates" coming on December 12. Different wings of the raid will release in the following weeks as usual, but this time for the first few weeks, dropped loot will be Bind-on-Pickup (BoP) instead of Bind-on-Equip (BoE) for Mythic difficulty.

Vault of the Incarnates will have eight bosses across Raid Finder, Normal, Heroic, and Mythic difficulties. Players must be minimum item level 359 and level 70 to enter on December 12.

That day, Normal, Heroic, and Mythic will be available. The week of December 19 opens Raid Finder Wing 1: "The Primal Bulwark" with bosses Eranog, Dathea Ascended, and The Primal Council. The week of January 2 makes Kurog Grimtotem, Sennareth The Cold Breath, and Terros available in Raid Finder Wing 2: "Caverns of Infusion." Lastly, on the week of January 16, Raid Finder Wing 3: "Fury of the Storm" unlocks and concludes the raid with bosses Broodkeeper Diurna and Raszageth The Storm-Eater.

By finishing specific raid achievements, players can gain a Raging Magmammoth mount for the trouble or earn The Storm-Eater title for overcoming Mythic difficulty.

As for the loot, Blizzard explained in a recent forum post that BoEs would drop as BoPs from Mythic for the first few weeks of Dragonflight Season 1. Additionally, BoEs in Dragonflight are no longer random drops but guaranteed loot from lieutenants in trash mobs.

With Mythic releasing at the same time as other difficulties, the devs didn't want raid groups selling loot to fund consumables and repairs for progression when many players will have never opened the Vault for the first time. Blizzard will revise the items to drop as BoEs in Mythic after a few weeks have passed. For details on the raid schedule, check out the WoW website.

Note: Activision Blizzard is still under investigation by the state of California for serious harassment charges. CEO Bobby Kotick is alleged to have known about such actions within his company – and performed some himself – and shielded the perpetrators from consequences.
