Farm Vault of the Incarnates Faster in Patch 12.0.7

With legacy loot enabled during the Midnight Pre-Patch, players enjoy a powerful damage buff that trivializes most Dragonflight raid encounters, though it can't speed up roleplay or immunity phases, leaving some parts of Vault of the Incarnates a little more tedious than they needed to be. A couple undocumented changes in Patch 12.0.7 have now addressed that issue, making the two slowest events much faster to clear!

Rapid Assault
Speaking to Khadgar at the start of the instance will begin the initial assault, a timed event in which players are given two minutes to bombard enemy forces from dragonback. As of Patch 12.0.7, this assault still starts with a two-minute timer, which is immediately reduced to just 14 seconds. It's barely long enough to mount a dragon, much less fly over, and players will be immediately dropped off at the start of the gauntlet.

The trash is still alive, though only Volcanius needs to be defeated before the Sealing Flames come down and open the way to Eranog. With legacy damage scaling, that should be a trivial task, so the "hardest" part is just walking from one end of the area to the other.

Defeat Volcanius to access Eranog.

The Broodless Keeper
Even more time consuming was Broodkeeper Diurna. Already nerfed in Patch 12.0.5, by capping Broodkeeper's Bond so that adds could be killed while nearby the boss and reducing the required number of egg breaks by about half, Patch 12.0.7 has taken this even further, by removing the debuff entirely once the first two eggs have been broken. This makes for a very fast solo fight, in which the mechanics are no longer relevant, even on Mythic difficulty.

The fight can now be cleared as soon as the first eggs break, about thirty seconds into the encounter.

Although you can use the raid skip to go straight from Eranog to Broodkeeper and then Raszageth, don't forget to look for accessories that can be traded for Ottuk mounts.
