The fastest way to gear up in Season 2
Most players ask the same question: how do I get from a fresh level 90 to Hero and Myth gear quickly? This is the order that works:
1
Catch-up gear: Delves, Labyrinth and the Amani chest
Solo-friendly Champion gear, an extra Vault slot and Restored Coffer Keys for bonus chests.
2
Mythic+: +10 keys for Hero gear
A timed +10 every week gives Hero-track loot and the best Great Vault slots.
3
Raids: Venomous Abyss, Tidebound Grotto, Kith'ix
The biggest weekly item-level jump, up to Myth gear from the last Mythic bosses.
4
Upgrade with Mistcrests
Spend crests on the slots you keep; the crest cap is lifted since 20 October.
5
Ascendant Venomstones
Push fully upgraded weapons, trinkets and necklaces past the normal cap.

Venomous Abyss
8 bosses, the main Season 2 raid. Heroic Ula'tek got its biggest nerfs on 5 November.
