I’m trying to figure out the best tiers to run for delves in Season 2. In Season 1, I know the rewards capped out at tier 8, but is that still the case? Should I only focus on doing tier 8 runs, or is it worth saving my keys for tier 11? Also, what’s the deal with bountiful delves? Can I use my keys at tier 8, or is it better to go for 11?

Stick with tier 8 for your gear since that’s where it caps. But for crests, tier 11 is the way to go—you can earn more Gilded Crests there (up to 3 per week). So you might want to mix it up, doing some tier 11 runs but keeping some tier 8 handy for gear. That’s the strategy I’m currently working with.
Yeah, if you’re concerned about vault gear, I’ve heard tier 9 also gives better drops, but some people have said you can max it out with just tier 8s. So if you’re only focusing on vault rewards, sticking to tier 8 should suffice.
You can definitely start using your keys from tier 8! The rewards from the Bountiful Coffer don’t change much between tier 8 and tier 11. However, going for bountiful delves in tiers 9 to 11 will give you more Runed Crests, plus you’ll get Gilded Crests from your first three tier 11 runs each week. Just remember those rewards are in separate chests, so you don’t need keys for them!
