Deciding for more rewards such as chests rewards and Neverwinter Astral Diamonds you can start the Delve during the “Dungeon Delves” event unlocks an additional treasure chest for each party member upon successful completion of the dungeon.
You do not need to complete it during the event window; you will get the chest as long as you started it during the event window. The chest contains additional matching tier seals (2-5) as well 1 random shard (epic delves only), and 1 random rare or epic item useable by the players class.
Getting your Neverwinter Astral Diamonds in Delve
You may also start to clear a dungeon before the event begins, and relog to pick up the delve quest after the event begins – this is to work around a bug, and not an exploit. As it is intended for you to get the delve chest if you start or complete any progress during the delve event. You’ll get the chest as long as you have not yet killed the final boss.
Please do remember that: Use caution when relogging, the queue system is very buggy and can kick out party members for a few scenarios: If everyone is offline, if a player enters too quickly or returns too quickly to the instance after relogging, etc. Purposely wait at least 6 seconds after logging in to return to instance (if you get the “incorrectly appeared in enclave” bug after relog).
