Featured Instance: Great Barrow - The Maze

Great Barrow - The Maze, when the instance is listed on the live Featured Instance board.

Before you go

Check the Featured Instance board and verify The Maze is active.
Accept its Featured Instance quest and enter with an appropriate group.
Progress through the Maze and complete its encounters.
Defeat the final boss to unlock the final boss chest.
Open the chest and inspect the level-scaling armor, weapons, or jewelry offered.
Compare the item with your current equipment and keep or use the useful piece.
If you need the minimum item-level classic version instead, visit the classic skirmish barter vendor and check that option separately.

Do not substitute the vendor version when the goal is the stronger chest version; the patch notes distinguish them.
The instance is rotation-limited, so verify availability before assembling a group specifically for this farm.

Repeat while The Maze is featured and its chest reward is useful. The specific instance is not continuously featured.

Stopping before the final boss: the target gear is associated with the final boss chest.
Assuming vendor barter and chest loot are equivalent: the vendor has the minimum item-level version.
Entering without checking the rotation: choose a currently featured instance if The Maze is absent.

Stop when you obtain the needed item or The Maze leaves the rotation. Use the vendor fallback only if its minimum version meets your goal.
