Ask in plain words
For gear, stop at Tier 8 — Tiers 9–11 do not raise the chest or the Vault; go higher for crests or the Stash.

- Bountiful Delves a dayMethod: four; Warcraft Wiki (older, generic): one per zone.
- The map’s nameTrovehunter’s Bounty (Warcraft Wiki, Icy Veins) · Delver’s Bounty (Method). Both are searched.
- Stories this seasonMethod’s lists date from 25 February (Season 1); Blizzard added snake and venom variants, and its hotfixes name two stories with no steps yet.

What is the Labyrinth of Kindo’jan?
Patch 12.1.5 adds the Labyrinth of Kindo’jan, a 9-chamber Delve-like run with Valeera, from 2026-10-13 (Blizzard’s 12.1.5 notes).
Which curios can Valeera Sanguinar use in Midnight Season 2?
Combat curios: Corrosive Bilespear, Essence Trap and Ouroboric Curse. Utility curios: Dundun’s Favor, Soul-Cracking Dreamcatcher and Venom Infusion. This season also adds the poisons Bursting Toad Toxin, Frostheart Venom and Phantasmal Spore Toxin. Valeera Sanguinar plays as Damage, Healer or Tank (Warcraft Wiki), and the wiki ranks no curio above another — the kit above lets you set yours.
