Patch 11.2 introduces a new cornerstone for player power: the Reshii Wraps. This is far more than just another piece of gear; it's an evolving artifact designed to be the central pillar of your experience across all endgame content. Its powerful, role-defining abilities are fundamental to success in Mythic+, Delves, and beyond. But make no mistake: while its influence is widespread, its most critical role is absolute. The Reshii Wraps is your essential key to the endgame, and possessing it is a non-negotiable prerequisite to set foot inside the new raid, Manaforge Omega.
Understanding its intricate systems is therefore vital for success. This guide will walk you through every step, from the initial unlock quest and time-saving alt skips, to mastering its combat abilities and customizing its stats to perfection.
To unlock the Reshii Wraps for the first time, you must progress through the main story campaign of the Ghosts of K'aresh update until you complete Chapter 3, culminating in the milestone quest The Tabiqa.
This quest is particularly rewarding, as it grants not only the cloak itself but also a starter package for its systems: your first stat-customizing Fiber and the initial 3 Ethereal Strands needed for upgrades. Upon completion, you are seamlessly guided to the NPC Hashim, who will introduce the core mechanics of Phase Diving and the cloak's upgrade path.
For your alts, a streamlined process allows you to bypass the main questline. After completing the quest Return to the Veiled Market, you will be offered the option to skip the storyline.
Crucially, accepting the skip does not automatically grant the cloak. Instead, it will start a new breadcrumb quest, A Skip Through the Void. This quest directs you to Hashim at Overlook Zo'Shuul, where you must select the dialogue option "I need new Reshii Wraps" to finally receive the cloak. This method also conveniently bypasses the introductory Phase Diving quests, allowing you to begin upgrading your cloak immediately.
A key feature of the Reshii Wraps is the "Ethereal Energy" system, a sophisticated, built-in passive enhancement that intelligently adapts to your combat role. This adaptability is seamless; for classes capable of fulfilling more than one role, the artifact's effect will automatically and fluidly change to match your active specialization. This ensures the cloak always provides the correct unique and powerful benefit tailored specifically to whether you are functioning as a Tank, Healer, or DPS.
To ensure balance, all three role-specific effects share a consistent baseline activation rate of roughly two procs per minute, a frequency that increases directly with your Haste. It's also possible to boost this rate even more with a specific item from the raid, which we'll cover later. Furthermore, the power of these effects is not static; the strength of the shields, heals, and damage will grow in magnitude as you upgrade the cloak's item level.
The advancement of the Reshii Wraps is facilitated by a dedicated progression system centered on a new currency, Ethereal Strands. Players can channel this currency into the cloak's unique talent tree by speaking with the vendor Hashim in Overlook Zo'Shuul. Your journey begins with an initial set of three Strands awarded upon completing The Tabiqa quest during the Patch 11.2 campaign.
Once this introduction is complete, Ethereal Strands can be earned from a wide array of endgame activities:
Progression through the cloak's talent tree is methodical. For every 3 Ethereal Strands collected, you can unlock one talent point, which simultaneously increases the cloak's item level on its path to a maximum of 730. This advancement is time-gated, permitting only one talent unlock per week. However, the system features a flexible catch-up mechanic, meaning if you fall behind, you can continue to farm Strands to reach the current week's maximum allowable progress.
To fully maximize the potential of the Reshii Wraps, players should seek out two specific synergistic items within the Manaforge Omega raid. The first is a set of boots dropped by the optional Soul Hunters encounter. Available for all armor types: Interloper's Silken Striders, Interloper's Reinforced Sandals, Interloper's Chain Boots and Interloper's Plated Sabatons, these boots possess the "Reshii Grace" effect. This powerful bonus increases the activation frequency of the cloak's role-specific abilities by a remarkable 50%, leading to substantially more frequent shields for tanks, healing echoes for healers, and damage procs for DPS.
Additionally, the raid boss Dimensius drops the Band of the Shattered Soul. This unique ring provides a crucial defensive benefit, activating in tandem with your cloak. Whenever the Reshii Wraps primary power triggers, the ring provides a significant reduction to incoming Cosmic damage. This creates a powerful symbiotic relationship where moments of increased output from the cloak are paired with a timely defensive layer.
The Reshii Wraps offers deep personalization through its built-in customization. The cloak comes with a special "Fiber" socket, allowing you to fine-tune its single secondary stats to perfectly match your build. When you first get the cloak, you'll be given a choice of one of four stat-boosting Fibers for free by completing quest The Tabiqa. If you need others later, you can easily buy them from Hashim.
A superior, epic-quality tier of Fibers exists for players seeking to further augment the cloak's secondary stats. The crafting of these items is exclusive to Khaz Algar Tailors who have gained access to the requisite recipes upon reaching Renown Level 5 with the K'aresh Trust. Players lacking the Tailoring profession can procure these advanced socketables through the Work Order system.
The best part is the flexibility, as you're never locked into your choice. By purchasing an Ethereal Seam Ripper from Hashim, you can safely remove a Fiber without destroying it and socket a different one whenever you like, making it easy to experiment or switch specs.
The Reshii Wraps progression system centered around a linear, five-tier artifact trait tree. Advancement through this system is deliberately time-gated, with a weekly lockout permitting the unlock of only one trait per reset cycle. This structured progression ensures a consistent five-week cadence for full empowerment, with each unlocked trait also boosting the cloak's item level. The traits themselves offer a comprehensive suite of enhancements that systematically augment a player's capabilities, encompassing direct combat power, utility for new gameplay features, quality-of-life improvements, and exclusive cosmetic rewards.
| Week | Trait | Item Level | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Boon of the Reshii | From 694 Item Level to 701 | The first upgrade in your cloak's journey. This trait activates its signature Ethereal combat power and unlocks the "Phase Diving". |
| 2 | Secrets of the Depths | From 701 Item Level to 707 | Grants access to secret rooms within Delves. This trait also allows you to find "Phase Orbs" in the world, which provide a 5-minute 5% primary stat buff and a chance at a Phase-Lost item. |
| 3 | Orbs of Power | From 707 Item Level to 714 | Augments Phase Diving by making enemies you defeat generate these same Phase Orbs. Your mobility is also enhanced, allowing you to use a special Phase-Lost Slateback mount while Phase Diving. |
| 4 | What Lies Beyond | From 714 Item Level to 720 | This upgrade enhances your exploration capabilities by attuning your senses during Phase Dive, making previously invisible "Phase-Lost Exchequer" treasure chests visible and accessible to be looted. |
| 5 | Regalia of the Reshii | From 720 Item Level to 730 | The final upgrade is cosmetic, rewarding you with the Power of the Reshii achievement and unlocking this final tier rewards the player with two exclusive transmogrification appearances that are thematically linked to the cloak. |
