Mythic+ Basics

  • Unlocked at level 90 after completing all 8 dungeons on Normal difficulty
  • Requires a Keystone (drops from regular dungeon completions)
  • Group size: 4 players (1 tank, 1 healer, 2 DPS recommended — flexible at low key levels)
  • Timer: completing within par time upgrades the key; failing the timer still completes the dungeon but doesn't upgrade
  • Loot scales with key level: Mythic+5 drops Item Level 90 gear, Mythic+15 drops Item Level 105 gear

The Keystone System

Each keystone specifies: dungeon, key level (difficulty), and affixes. After completing the run:

  • Within timer (1 chest): Key upgrades by 1 level
  • Within timer (2 chests): Key upgrades by 2 levels (if you complete with 40%+ time remaining)
  • Out of timer: Key stays at same level (deplete)

The goal is to push keys as high as possible each week for better gear and weekly vault rewards.

The Affix System

All Mythic+2 and above keys have affixes — modifiers that change dungeon mechanics:

⚔️ Current Affix Pool (Season 3)

  • Bloodthirst: All enemies heal 1% HP per second. Kill them faster or they heal out of your damage.
  • Void-Touched: 20% of enemies are Void-Touched, dealing Void damage on death. Spread out when enemies die.
  • Lunar Pull: Random players are pulled 15 meters toward the nearest enemy every 30 seconds.
  • Fortified (Mythic+7+): All non-boss enemies have +20% HP and +30% damage.
  • Tyrannical (Mythic+7+): All boss enemies have +40% HP and +15% damage.

8 Dungeons — Quick Reference

  • Shadow Crypts (Easiest): Best key to push when learning. Short, forgiving trash, simple bosses.
  • Ashwood Depths: Moderate difficulty. Best for Nature affix weeks.
  • Moonstone Cavern: Werewolf-favored mechanics. Vampires suffer -10% effectiveness inside.
  • Crimson Halls: Vampire-favored. Blood mechanics reward vampire group compositions.
  • Void Breach: Hardest. Best loot. Only attempt Mythic+10+ if your group is solid.
  • Ancient Ruins: Medium difficulty. Heavy crowd control requirements on trash.
  • Storm Heights: Weather mechanics add complexity. Good loot/difficulty ratio at mid-levels.
  • Eclipse Sanctum: Seasonal dungeon (Blood Moon periods only). Best loot in game during active period.

The Weekly Vault

Each week, completing Mythic+ keys contributes to your Weekly Vault — a chest that opens on Monday and contains bonus gear:

  • 1 key completed: 1 Vault item (Item Level = your highest key ×2)
  • 4 keys completed: 2 Vault items
  • 8 keys completed: 3 Vault items (maximum)

Strategy: Complete 8 keys per week, pushing as high as possible on at least one of them to maximize Vault item level.

Fastest Path from Mythic+1 to Mythic+15

  1. Start on Shadow Crypts (easiest dungeon) with your +2 starting key
  2. Push until Mythic+5, then form a consistent 4-person group with trusted players
  3. Identify your group's strongest dungeon (usually the one that matches your group's class composition) and push that first each week
  4. Mythic+10 is the significant progression wall — requires full Epic gear and practiced group coordination
  5. Mythic+15 is the Legendary guaranteed threshold — most players take 4–8 weeks to reach this consistently
