Raise Apocalypse Tier through endgame clears

Apocalypse Tier selection for Expeditions and Tarya Gratar endgame activities.

Before you go

Check your current tier and the gear level of your equipped build.
Choose an Expedition or Trial at a tier you can complete reliably.
Clear the activity and collect its gear and resources.
Equip upgrades that improve damage, survivability, or build synergy.
Review the next tier option and move upward when your current clears are comfortable.
If the higher setting causes repeated failures, step back and improve the build through more clears.
Repeat the cycle, keeping successful completion as the measure of readiness.

A completed lower-tier run gives you gear and progress; a failed higher-tier run may give neither.
Compare full build performance after an upgrade, not only the item’s displayed level.

Repeat endgame clears as often as desired. Tier advancement is ongoing progression; it is not a one-time reward from a single activity.

Raising tiers just because the option is available: move up when the current setting is manageable.
Keeping underpowered gear because it is Legendary: attributes and mods can make a lower-rarity piece more useful.
Assuming Trial and Expedition access are identical: the Trial requires Worldslayer, while Expeditions are base-game endgame.

Pause tier increases when you cannot complete activities consistently; farm at the last manageable tier until gear and build improve.
