Delves are one of the best ways to get good gear in WoW The War Within, and while there are 12 of them in the new expansion, some are way faster to do than others.

Delves were introduced in The War Within, mostly as solo content, allowing you to explore these mysterious caves with the NPC Brann Bronzebeard and claim some juicy rewards. Since this is a great way to level up Brann and claim some nice gear, here are the fastest Delves in WoW The War Within.

Which Delves should you do in WoW The War Within?

While there are 12 Delves, you can do only four Bountiful Delves a day. Every day, Bountiful Delves have a random reset, and those are the ones you want to use your Restored Coffer Keys for to get the best gear. Besides farming amazing gear with high item levels, you can also do Delves to increase Brann Bronzebeard’s level, which helps a lot with higher Tiers of Delves.

To help you collect the gear and other rewards more efficiently, you can find our top picks for the fastest Delves in The War Within, below.

5) The Underkeep

While it’s certainly not the fastest Delve you can do, it’s not the slowest either. The Underkeep Delve is located in the Azj-Kahet zone of Khaz Algar in the City of Threads, at coordinates 57.9, 65.6. Despite its bigger size, this Delve mostly involves you brute forcing your way through different mobs from start to finish. This means that depending on the class you play, you can bypass and avoid a ton of mobs, which saves you a lot of time. 

4) Earthcrawl Mines

The Earthcrawl Mines is the first Delve you explore upon starting The War Within expansion. It’s located on the Isle of Dorn, at coordinates 38.6, 73.9, meaning it’s also close to Dornogal. This Delve itself isn’t big and it only requires you to slay a bunch of Nerubians and destroy their webs. The only challenge could be the Web General Ab’ enar at the end since the boss requires you to interrupt a lot.

3) Skitterish Breach

Located in the Hallowfall zone at coordinates 65.6, 61.4, the Skitterish Breach Delve is one of the fastest Delves you can do. It’s short and if you get a story scenario with Shadow Totem cleansing, then this Delve becomes even faster. Not only are the mobs there easy to kill, but you also get an item that lets you Light Dash through the Totems, which destroys them instantly, making this Delve a breeze.

2) Tak-Rethan Abyss

This is another Delve in the City of Threads of Azj-Kahet zone, at coordinates 54.7, 73.8. It’s an underwater Delve where you don’t actually swim, but you can use bubbles to increase your speed. If you manage to get the Pheromone Crates scenario, then you can complete this Delve relatively fast because you can tag a lot of mobs and destroy crates at the same time.

1) The Waterworks

Located in The Ringing Deeps zone, at coordinates 46.3, 47.8, The Waterworks Delve is the fastest Delve you can do. A lot of rooms are spacious enough for you to bypass almost all mobs until the boss room where you fight against Waxface. The only thing you need to watch out for is the Waterworks poison debuff, which you cleanse with the air totem item you get.
