What's the loot: Broodkeeper Diurna – Does the VOTI penultimate boss drop any good items?
Broodkeeper Diurna is the second to last boss in the Vault of the Incarnates, the Dragonflight's first raid. Diurna is a hell of a boss so don't expect it to be an easy fight – but the rewards are well worth it! In this blog post we'll tell you all about the loot this dragonkin drops in all the difficulties of VOTI. The item levels are the same as for Raszageth, the final boss: 398 for Normal, 411 for Heroic, and 424 for Mythic. Those are the highest item levels in the raid and you're likely to have no better alternatives to your slots, especially if you're a dedicated raider. We've divided all these rewards into several bigger groups to make it easier for you to navigate them: tokens (set items), weapons, armor, jewelry (rings, neck), trinkets, profession recipes, other profession-related stuff, and miscellaneous (didn't fit in any other group). Enjoy!
Tokens
How many total: 4.
Broodkeeper Diurna has 4 highly sought after tokens that are used to purchase the Primalist set's shoulder item. There are 4 tokens total each of which has 3 or 4 classes assigned to them. Here's what it looks like:
- Dreadful Lapis Forgestone (classes: death knight, demon hunter, warlock)
- Mystic Lapis Forgestone (classes: druid, hunter, mage)
- Venerated Lapis Forgestone (classes: paladin, priest, shaman)
- Zenith Lapis Forgestone (classes: evoker, monk, rogue, warrior)
So if you're a death knight, you'll have to compete for your shoulder token not only with other DK's but also with demon hunters and warlocks. The item level of the shoulder piece depends on the difficulty: in Normal it's 398, in Heroic – 411, and in Mythic – 424. These tokens can be found in all difficulties, including the raid finer where the item level of the item is 385. The set bonuses will work the same for all of those versions but the stats will differ. And as for the visuals, here's what those shoulder pads looks like:
Dreadful Lapis Forgestone token ↑
Mystic Lapis Forgestone token ↑
Venerated Lapis Forgestone ↑
Zenith Lapis Forgestone ↑

Getting a token for the shoulder slot is great but there are many more other slots to fill with set pieces. And they are the most powerful items in the game! Check out our Gearing services to learn more about how you can get these items sooner!
Weapons
How many total: 3.
The Broodkeeper has 3 weapons to share with adventurers. They will be of interest to rogues, evokers, and shield-wielding specs. To be more precise, here are the weapons that are contained in the boss' loot table:
- Broodsworn Legionnaire's Pavise (Strength / Intellect shield)
- Kharnalex, the First Light (Evoker-only staff)
- Ornamental Drakonid Claw (Agility dagger)
Boodsworn Legionnaire's Pavise
Good for: Paladin (holy, protection), Shaman (elemental, restoration), Warrior (protection).
Drop chance: 17%.
A decent shield that switches its primary stat from strength to intellect depending on your spec. The strength bonus is for tanks: protection paladins and warriors. While the intellect bonus is for healers (holy paladins and restoration shamans) and DPS casters (elemental shamans). It also adds a good amount of stamina, haste, and mastery. A worthy upgrade for anyone who's into shields but nothing extraordinary.
Kharnalex, the First Light
Exclusive for: Evoker.
Drop chance: 21%.
Now this is interesting. Class-unique items are not very frequent these days and this one is a good example of how unique they can be. Only evokers can wield this staff. Although both specs can use it, devastation evokers will find it more beneficial since it has an active damage dealing ability tied to it.
The stats are, obviously, intellect, stamina, haste, and mastery. But what makes it stand out is an on-use effect: you deal arcane damage over 3 seconds to a target, based on your current Versatility value. So the higher your Versatility is, the more damage you will do. The cooldown is 3 minutes so consider it a sort of a mana-free DPS burst. This effect can benefit from Master: Giantkiller too.
Ornamental drakonid claw
Good for: Rogue (assassination, subtlety).
Drop chance: 16%.
This is a fast-hitting dagger with a pleasant Agility boost. It also offers lovely haste and versatility increases. Basically, just what most rogues need. Unfortunately, it has no sockets or additional effects, but it's still a solid upgrade if you happen to obtain it.
Armor
How many total: 4.
The Broodkeeper is generous enough to offer 4 items of different armor types to whoever manages to slay it! Here are the armor pieces in question:
- Eggtender's safety mitts (cloth hands)
- Loyal flametender's bracers (leather wrists)
- Matriarch's opulent girdle (plate waist)
- Tassets of the Tarasek legion (mail legs)
Eggtender's safety mitts
Armor type: cloth
Slot: hands
Drop chance: 17%.
A nice pair of gloves for cloth-wearing casters of all kinds: mages, priests, and warlocks. The stats include bonuses for intellect, stamina, critical strike, and mastery.
Loyal flametender's bracers
Armor type: leather.
Slot: wrists.
Drop chance: 17%.
A lovely couple of bracers for all specs of leather-using classes. That includes demon hunters, druids, monks, and rogues. The main stat is either agility or intellect depending on your spec. Secondary stats include stamina, critical strike, and mastery.
Matriarch's opulent girdle
Armor type: plate.
Slot: waist.
Drop chance: 17%.
A massive belt for your plate-using characters: death knights, paladins, and warriors! The main stat is strength but it switches to intellect for holy paladins. Secondary stats are: stamina, versatility, and mastery. It's a nice upgrade although not a game-changing one.
Tassets of the Tarasek legion
Armor type: mail.
Slot: legs.
Drop chance: 17%.
Here's a nice set of pants for you, mail-wearers! Evokers, hunters, and shamans will enjoy this new item as it provides them with agility / intellect for the primary stat and such secondary stats as: stamina, haste, and mastery.
Jewelry
How many total: 1.
Diurna has only one jewelry item and that's the equip-unique ring Seal of Filial Duty. Here's some more info about it.
Seal of Filial Duty
Slot: finger.
Good for: tanks, casters.
Drop chance: 9%.
Only one such item can be used at once for one character. It's a pretty peculiar ring that encourages you to deal fire damage to randomly give you a 6-second shield. The shield itself benefits tanks mostly so they can get this ring for it. However, the stats are really attractive for casters: lots of haste and mastery as secondary stats for them to enjoy. The primary stat is stamina which is nothing special but still.
Trinkets
How many total: 2.
There are 2 trinkets in the Broodkeeper's loot table and both of them are worthy of your attention! Those trinkets are:
- Broodkeeper's Promise
- Manic Grieftorch
Broodkeeper's Promise
Good for: healers.
Drop chance: 20%.
This trinket has a quite peculiar on-use effect. You target another player and become their "guardian" for an entire hour. What that means is that you both get a versatility bonus (+76) and restore health over time (+594 per second). These bonuses get increased if you stand next to each other. The effect ONLY works for healer sepcializations. Also, as some community members have pointed out, if you choose another healer to guard, you're not likely to get the promised proximity-based bonus increase.
Manic Grieftorch
Good for: great for hunters, also good for all other agility- or strength-based DPS specs.
Drop chance: 20%.
The Grieftorch gives you a lovely agility / strength bonus (depends on your spec) and an on-use effect. You can activate it to channel fire damage to a target for 2 seconds. The damage scales off your versatility. There's also a chance to spread that damage to enemies nearby your target. Also, the cooldown of the trinket gets reduces by 90 seconds each time an ally dies. The full cooldown lasts 2 minutes so that's 3/4 of that time. Naturally, not many agility- or strength-based DPS specs can deal damage from afar with hunters being the only obvious exception. Hence channelling damage to a target might be a very good addition to their rotation.
