Philosophy: Focusing on essentials for competitive raiding / mythic+ / pvp. alcaras#6052 on discord if you have suggestions for things to add. I'll also be updating https://subcreation.net/ for Season 2 of Mythic+ and PvP and for Sanctum of Domination by July 10th.
(you'll need to work your way up to layer 12; remember once you unlock layer 12 for one wing, it's automatically unlocked for the other -- not 100% clear what layers will be unlocked each week)
-
first week: can only do layer 9 (+120 soul cinders both wings)
-
heroic week: can only do up to layer 10 (+220 soul cinders both wings)
-
mythic week: only up to layer 11 (+300 soul cinders both wings)
-
after mythic week: can go all the way up to layer 12 (+360 soul cinders both wings)
-
wing 1 highest unlocked layer
-
wing 2 highest unlocked layer
- covenant campaign (gives renown)
- korthia weekly (shaping fate) (gives renown) (gives stygian embers for shard of domination upgrading)
- covenant collect 1000 anima weekly (gives renown)
- souls (still gives 500 anima if you're capped on souls)
- maw assault (tue-fri) (+50 soul cinders)
- maw assault (fri-mon) (+50 soul cinders)
- tormentors of torghast (+75? +50? soul cinders, weekly)
- do the one-time korthia relic quests for archivist rep as you rank up with archivists
- (optional) korthia dailies for archivist's codex rep / catalogued research for socket item / conduit upgrades (details)
- (early on, you can also get a 220 item with a domination socket (cloth/mail: belt, leather/plate: gloves) from at honored death's advance rep for 2000 stygia; this will likely be a upgrade until you get a better domination socket item)
- as much of mythic as possible (once it is open on july 13)
- heroic clear (for any bosses you don't kill in mythic, for stygian embers to upgrade your shards of domination)
- normal clear (for gear with domination sockets)
- full clear, ideally with hardmodes for 233 until you don't need it as source of gear
- valor cap
- +15s complete (not necessary to be in time) for 252 in vault next week (avoid domination slots when picking your 252s)
- capped at +10 for end-of-run rewards for week of july 6 (details)
- work toward ksm to unlock max valor upgrades (need ~= +15 on tyr + fort or equiv score)
(less relevant than in 9.0, but still useful to fill gearing gaps since you can buy for a specific non-domination/legendary slot and upgrade to 246 if you can hit 2100)
- conq cap
- as high a rating as possible
Thank you to @mcadamswow for the awesome graphic.
Note you'll need to collect Stygian Embers to upgrade your shards of domination. These drop from the Korthia weekly and from raid bosses.
shard of domination upgrade costs with stygian embers (source)
| Rank | Name | Upgrade Cost |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Normal | -- |
| 2 | Ominous | 5 Stygian Embers |
| 3 | Desolate | 15 Stygian Embers |
| 4 | Foreboding | 30 Stygian Embers |
| 5 | Portentous | 50 Stygian Embers |
Since you'll have at least 5 Shards of Domination, you'll eventually want at least 500 Stygian Embers to upgrade all of them.
You can remove Shards of Dominations from sockets using the Soulfire Chisel (reusable, costs 2,500 Stygia).
