Q & A

What are cartel chips, and how can they be used?

Cartel chips are items used to purchase dungeon or raid gear from a vendor. They are obtained by completing a quest that involves finishing dungeons or defeating raid bosses. The chips are earned on a weekly basis and can be used to unlock specific items at different vendor tiers.

How many cartel chips can players earn, and how are they distributed?

Players can earn a total of nine cartel chips. The first three are earned after completing a quest that requires defeating four raid bosses or completing four dungeons. For each following week, one additional chip is awarded, with a maximum of nine chips in total.

What items can be purchased with cartel chips from the vendor?

The vendor offers a variety of items, including mythic plus trinkets, raid weapons, and other high-level gear. Some items are locked behind achievements, such as completing mythic raids or dungeons at higher levels.

What is the significance of the Hero Track in the cartel chip system?

Hero Track is a level of gear unlocked by purchasing items from the vendor. Initially, it provides mythic plus trinkets and all raid weapons, trinkets, and barrier items at item level 672, which is a higher cap than the previous level of 665.

What items can be unlocked through the Resilient Keystone achievement?

By completing mythic dungeons with a +12 or higher key, players can unlock mythic-level trinkets at 684 item level, which are available for purchase at the vendor after completing this achievement.

How can defeating a mythic raid boss impact what items are available for purchase?

Defeating a mythic raid boss unlocks specific gear related to that boss. For example, defeating the 'Mythic One-Armed Bandit' boss will unlock all relevant weapons, trinkets, and barrier items associated with that boss at a higher item level.

Which items are recommended for players who do not engage in mythic raids or high-level dungeons?

For players who only participate in standard content and do not engage in mythic raids or dungeons above a +12, the recommended purchases include the Heroic Jaster Diamond ring and the Heroic House of Cards trinket, as they offer strong benefits for general gameplay.

What is the difference between the 'Heroic House of Cards' and the 'Signet of the Priary' trinkets?

The Heroic House of Cards trinket provides consistent benefits by syncing with every True Shot ability, ensuring all True Shots are powerful. In contrast, the Signet of the Priary creates alternating weak and strong True Shots, which can lead to less consistent performance in dungeons.

What trinkets are recommended for players who focus primarily on dungeons and not mythic raids?

Players who focus on dungeons should prioritize the Mythic Improvised Saphorium Pacemaker trinket, which provides significant crit for all hunter specs. The Heroic Jaster Diamond ring is also recommended, as it offers superior value compared to other available rings.

What should players who have already cleared mythic dungeons and raids prioritize when making cartel chip purchases?

For players who have cleared mythic dungeons and raids, the top priority items should include the Mythic Improvised Saphorium Pacemaker trinket, the Mythic Jaster Diamond ring, and potentially the Mythic Tiny Pal weapon. These provide significant performance benefits for end-game content.
