WoW Delves: A Practical Season Guide
This short guide helps you find your efficiency zone in the new season. By measuring EV per run and GPH you can choose tiers and configs with clear, quantitative trade-offs.
⚡ Quick Season TL;DR
How to Pick the Right Tier
📊 Workflow Example
- 1.Record 3–5 runs for each candidate tier
- 2.Use the average runtime to compute GPH
- 3.Choose the tier with the best GPH within your comfort
Tips to Improve Efficiency
💰 Cost Control
Potions, enchants, repairs, and travel add up—use realistic costs so GPH reflects net profit.
⏱️ Stabilize Runtime
Large variance dilutes GPH. Record 3–5 runs and use the average.
⚠️ Beware Fake Gains
Longer runs with only slightly higher EV can reduce overall GPH.
🎲 EV vs RNG — What the Green Number Means
The green EV is per run, so it doesn't change with the number of runs; total expected value scales linearly with attempts.
Edge Cases
• Pity/threshold systems can move value between runs—always check the season's notes in the calculator.
