On January 28th (NA) and January 29th (EU), the first Season 4 Mythic+ and PvP Weekly Chests will become available, offering item level 475 gear at the upper end. These chests are special in Season 4, as they will always drop a piece of Corrupted Gear, unless your Weekly Chest contains a Trinket as Trinkets cannot Corrupt.

Corruption from the Weekly Chest
Corruption has been a hot topic in Patch 8.3 with the drop rates for Corrupted Items being very low. These upcoming Weekly chests will offer the highest chance of getting a Corrupted piece thus far, plus the piece of gear can be of a Mythic item level.
Trinkets are
unable to be Corrupted
and thus are the only pieces from the Weekly Mythic+ chest that will not roll with a Corrupted affix. Outside of trinkets, there are
51 possible Corruption rolls
and in order to get the exact Corruption that you want, you'll have less than a 2% chance.
Good luck tomorrow with your caches!

This is the biggest problem with Corruption, and given how ridiculously broken some corruption effects are...this is easily the worst system for gearing in WoW to date.

I haven't been this excited to open a weekly chest in a while. Can't wait to get to mine!

I don't really like that now we need to do around +12 to have the same reward as before. I don't see why for season 4 this should became more fun, to force us to do higher m+ key. But on other hand it is nice, that now M+ guys, can actually level up like in mythic raid exactly, so you don't lose anything. Maybe this is for good.
You're making a +12 out to be as difficult as climbing mount everest rn.
Especially when you don't even have to complete it in time, just complete it once a week. Honestly the harder part is to find PUGs if you don't have a dedicated group/guild/discord server. My 447 holy priest, who timed up to +13s in S3 (and yes, I realize this isn't THAT high but just to give some perspective), can't even get into most +7 PUGs now.
Inb4 "make your own group": I honestly don't want to try to do low keys only to have some troll feed deaths and deplete the key (yes, has happened to me on a +4 WM and, even worse, a horrific vision once).
On topic: I am super pumped to open my chest(s) today as I really got almost no corrupted drops at all and of those I got almost all were void ritual (I got the "crit from all sources" one on my mage which, on paper, sounds awesome but it was only tier one and gave me a 2% crit chance increase for like dropping 15 or 20 ilvls.) I don't know if the addon Pawn calculates effects like these but it didn't show me an upgrade so I haven't equiped it (yet).

I can't wait to see what kind of bracers I get this week ...
I said the same thing. Then got bracers. But they have a single target on use for 49k dmg over 8 seconds if I stall with in 20 yards and randomly do 18% of my HP to everything in front of me so like 147k dmg. But sadly I wont be able to equip them for like 2-3 weeks due to the corruption levels lmao.
