    How we checked: every row on this page is read from a page that cites it — Blizzard’s own posts first, then the guides and databases players already use. Where two sources disagree both are kept (13 below), and what no source states is written as not established. Rows checked 2026-10-07 to 2026-10-07.

    All 41 sources and 13 disagreements

    Where sources disagree

    What does a +7–9 Vault slot pay?
    Method’s Vault table prints 311 for Hero 4/6; Method’s track table puts Hero 4/6 at 315. The page shows 315 and marks it.
    What is the Season 2 Spark called?
    Settled: Blizzard’s community manager writes “Spark of Tides”, as the item itself is named; the hotfix list’s “Sparks of Tide” is the plural written loosely.
    Which crests buy Orin’s Voidcore?
    Blizzard: Veteran Mistcrests, no amount. Icy Veins: “80 Veteran Dawncrest” — Season 1’s name. The amount is left out until checked in game.
    Does an unclaimed Vault wait past the next reset?
    Not stated by the sources read. Claim it before the next reset to be safe.
    Raid Finder item level
    Blizzard: 273 · Warcraft Wiki: 276 (Adventurer 4). The page uses Blizzard’s.
    Raid size
    Blizzard’s hotfixes scale Normal and Heroic from 10 to 30 · the wiki’s infobox says 25.
    Boss order
    Blizzard’s raid article lists Vashnik third · Raider.IO and Method list The Lost Explorers third. Both branches open after Nek’zali.
    Spelling
    Blizzard’s own article writes “Ssorak” twice — the boss is Sszorak.
    Lives per tier
    Only Icy Veins gives the counts, and its page would not open here; Warcraft Wiki confirms only that the counter starts at Tier 4.
    Crests below Tier 4
    Icy Veins: Adventurer crests from Tier 1; Warcraft Wiki: none until Tier 4. The table follows the wiki.
    Bountiful Delves a day
    Method: four; Warcraft Wiki (older, generic): one per zone.
    The map’s name
    Trovehunter’s Bounty (Warcraft Wiki, Icy Veins) · Delver’s Bounty (Method). Both are searched.
    Stories this season
    Method’s lists date from 25 February (Season 1); Blizzard added snake and venom variants, and its hotfixes name two stories with no steps yet.

    Each video is the channel’s own upload; a guide is filed under a boss or dungeon only when its own title names that one and no other. Nothing loads from YouTube until you press play, and nothing is re-hosted.

    No Blizzard login, no addon, no account read: every character value is one you typed or ticked, saved only in this browser and shared with the Great Vault, Delve and raid pages. Season, patch, rotation, raid and dated rows carry their own checked dates. Nicknames are optional and never leave your device.

    Coming next — announced, not dated

    WoW on GamGem — common questions

    When is the weekly reset in World of Warcraft?

    US Tue 15:00, EU Wed 04:00, KR Wed 23:00 and TW Wed 23:00 UTC. The reset is fixed in UTC, so it does not move with summer time; the Great Vault opens at your region’s reset.

    What does the Great Vault count this week?

    Three rows, each opening a choice at its numbers: Raid 2 / 4 / 6 (Season 2 raid bosses — Lair bosses count too), Dungeon 1 / 4 / 8 (Heroic, Mythic, Mythic+ or Timewalking dungeons) and World 2 / 4 / 8 (Delves, Prey, Ritual Sites, Special Assignments, Pinnacle-cache weeklies).

    Which dungeons are in Mythic+ in Midnight Season 2?

    8 dungeons: Altar of Fangs, Kings’ Rest, The Blinding Vale, Temple of Sethraliss, Voidscar Arena, Murder Row, Den of Nalorakk and Ruby Life Pools.

    How many bosses does The Venomous Abyss have?

    8 bosses: Nek’zali the Soulcoiler, Entombed Sentinels, The Lost Explorers, Vashnik the Malignant, Sszorak, The Twin Fangs, The Coiled Altar and Ula’tek.

    Which Prey modes count for the Great Vault?

    All three count on the World row; the slot pays Normal Veteran 1/6 (279), Hard Champion 1/6 (292) and Nightmare Hero 1/6 (305).

    When is the next WoW patch?

    12.1.5 (The Promise of Tomorrow) on 2026-10-13. Until then the live patch is 12.1.

    When did Midnight Season 2 start?

    In the US on Tue, Aug 18, 2026 at 15:00 UTC; in Europe on Wed, Aug 19, 2026 at 04:00 UTC.

    What is in patch 12.1.5?

    12.1.5 (“The Promise of Tomorrow”) goes live on 2026-10-13 with weekly maintenance. Blizzard’s notes cover Story campaign, The Unbinding of Kith’ix, Labyrinth of Kindo’jan, Aqir Invasions, Mid-season refresh, Achievements — line by line on the patch notes page.

    When does Midnight Season 3 start?

    With patch 12.2 “Eclipse”: “Early 2027” — no date given. Season 3: a new eight-boss raid, a new Mythic+ dungeon pool and a new Delve Nemesis.

    What does GamGem cover for World of Warcraft?

    17 sections: Dungeons, Raids, Delves, Great Vault, Builds and Items, and 11 more. Each one is a database rather than an article — you can filter it, compare rows inside it, and see whether each figure is sourced or a sample.

    Which patch is this WoW data from?

    Everything on this hub describes patch 12.1. The version is printed on the page rather than assumed, because a figure from a previous one is not a slightly old figure — it describes a different game.

    Where do the WoW figures on this site come from?

    From public pages, each named where its figure is shown — the publisher's own posts first, then the guides players already use. Nothing here is a win rate or a sample: a timer, a reward or a date is copied from its source with the day it was checked, and an editorial ranking is labelled as one.

    When was World of Warcraft released?

    23 November 2004. That is the date the studio itself published; where a game has no announced date, this site prints no date at all rather than an estimate.
