Venomous Abyss Normal boost, in short
Normal is the entry difficulty of The Venomous Abyss, and we sell it one way only: a complete 8/8 clear with a booster raid team. There are no boss counts to choose here. You choose a loot option and a way to play, and the team takes the raid from the first pull to the last boss in one go. Of the two difficulties sold as separate runs, Normal is the lighter.
Who a Normal raid boost is for
Think of a character just starting this season, an alt you want ready for group content, or a main coming back from a break. The bosses already use their full mechanics on Normal, which also makes it a calm way to see the raid before you take on harder settings. Loot comes in below Heroic item level, and tier tokens drop too. That is how a fresh character collects its first tier pieces and builds enough item level for a Heroic run to pay off later.
The loot already in a Normal order
Every Normal order includes unsaved group loot. Put simply: an item drops, no booster needs it, and it goes to you with no roll. Two upgrades can be bought on top as fixed add-ons. Armor-type and token priority fills the raid with boosters who share your armor type, which raises how many drops can reach you by trade. Full loot priority routes every suitable drop to you. The loot table on this page lists both, each showing the items per boss we expect.
Putting Tidebound Grotto in the same order
The second raid of the season can ride along with a Normal full run. When it does, each loot option is priced for the two raids together, which explains the extra column in the loot table. For a Grotto kill at another difficulty, or with nothing else in the order, open the Tidebound Grotto boost.
Normal and your weekly lockout
A lockout belongs to one difficulty. A Normal clear uses up your Normal loot for the week and nothing more, so the same character can still take a Heroic run before the reset. That allows a simple plan: collect tier tokens on Normal first, then add a harder run once the item level is there.
When to choose something other than Normal
A Normal kill of Ula'tek does not earn Ahead of the Curve: Ula'tek; the achievement wants Heroic or above. If the achievement or a bigger item level jump is the goal, look at the Venomous Abyss Heroic boost or the AOTC carry. Mythic is not sold as a run by itself and exists only as the Tidebound Grotto bundle; see the Venomous Abyss raid carry overview.
Venomous Abyss Normal: buyer questions
Can I buy only some of the Normal bosses?
No. The Normal carry is always the full 8/8, either alone or with Tidebound Grotto added in the same order.
Will a Normal run give me Ahead of the Curve?
It will not. Ahead of the Curve: Ula'tek only counts a Heroic or harder kill of Ula'tek in Midnight Season 2. For the achievement, order the Heroic carry.
What does the included loot option do on Normal?
The included option is unsaved group loot: drops the boosters have no use for go straight to you rather than into a roll among the raid.
Are tier tokens in the Normal loot?
Yes. The count you end up with depends on the drops and on your loot choice; the items-per-boss figures on the priority options are estimates only.
Can I run Normal and Heroic in the same week?
Yes. Lockouts are counted per difficulty, so a Normal clear leaves your Heroic loot for that week untouched.
Do I need to play the Normal run myself?
That is up to you. With self-play you raid in person; with piloted a booster logs in and plays it; remote control costs extra.
