- Every upgrade rank costs 20 crests of the item’s track.
- The cap rises by 100 a week for each crest; what you miss carries over.

Every week

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.

The Great Vault this season — quick answers
How many bosses, dungeons and world activities open Great Vault choices in Midnight Season 2?
Raid: 2 / 4 / 6 — Season 2 raid bosses — Lair bosses count too. Dungeon: 1 / 4 / 8 — Heroic, Mythic, Mythic+ or Timewalking dungeons. World: 2 / 4 / 8 — Delves, Prey, Ritual Sites, Special Assignments, Pinnacle-cache weeklies.
When does the Great Vault refill, and when can I take a Nebulous Voidcore from it?
At each region’s weekly reset — US Tuesday 15:00 UTC, EU Wednesday 04:00 UTC, KR Wednesday 23:00 UTC, TW Wednesday 23:00 UTC (the hub’s weekly checklist counts down to it). With three slots open, one Nebulous Voidcore can replace an item — from your second Vault of the season.
How do I get an extra Nebulous Voidcore every week?
Orin Straylight sells one extra Nebulous Voidcore a week (since the week of Oct 6). Unlock it with In the Catalyst’s Shadow → Prismatic Potential → Umbral Blessings of the Catalyst. Pay 5,000 gold, 2,000 Voidlight Marl, or Veteran Mistcrests. At most two Voidcores a week: one from the Vault, one from Orin.
What is the Mistcrest weekly cap, and when is it lifted?
Every upgrade rank costs 20 crests of the item’s track. The cap rises by 100 a week for each crest; what you miss carries over. Past the cap, crests arrive one tier lower, in the same amount. The crest cap is lifted in the week of Oct 20.
What item level does the Great Vault give for Heroic raid, +10 keys or Tier 8 Delves?
Heroic raid: Myth 1/6 (318); +10 and up: Myth 1/6 (318); Delve Tier 8+: Hero 1/6 (305). A choice pays at the lowest of the runs that opened it.
Do Lairs count toward the Great Vault, and is Mythic 0 a daily or weekly lockout?
Yes — The Tidebound Grotto kills count toward the raid row, and the Lair itself is locked once a week — one loot kill — and a Voidcore can be used on a Lair once a week. Mythic 0: Daily since the week of Aug 18 (weekly in the week of Aug 11); drops 292.
