Everything About Mythic+ Keystones and Dungeons

By Wowhead Updated: 2026/04/29

Mythic+ Dungeons have a Level which is set by a Keystone.

Mythic+ dungeons require a pre-made group of 5 players.

Mythic+ Dungeons include a timer.

In addition to the dungeon bosses, Mythic+ dungeons require a minimum amount of trash mobs to be defeated.

Mythic+ dungeons include one or more Affixes which increase the challenge of the dungeon.

All loot in a Mythic+ dungeon drops at the end of the dungeon run.

Mythic+ dungeons are subject to a season system:
The season dictates which dungeons can be run as M+

The season dictates which affixes are in effect

Each character has a score which is tracked across the season

Seasonal rewards can be earned during the season only

Mythic Keystones in World of Warcraft

Completing a Mythic 0 dungeon will grant a Keystone from the end boss.

Participating in a Mythic+ dungeon using another player's Keystone will grant a Keystone upon dungeon completion.

Completing at least one Mythic+ dungeon during the previous weekly reset will grant a new Keystone when selecting any reward from the Great Vault.

If you are not eligible for any of the above methods, the Keystone Vendor for the current expansion will give you one if you talk to them.

The dungeon for which the Keystone is attuned.

The level of the Keystone.

Any affixes that might be in play for that dungeon.

The remaining duration on the Keystone, which expires on the weekly reset.

A character may only have one Mythic Keystone at a time. Keystones cannot be deleted.

Equal level to the highest Mythic+ dungeon that you completed in time during the previous week.

One level lower than the highest Mythic+ dungeon that you did not complete in time during the previous week.

One level lower than the Keystone you received during the previous week.

Default at +2 if none of the above apply.

Starting the dungeon, walking out of the dungeon, and then resetting the instance.

Mythic+ Affixes in World of WarcraftBeginning a Mythic+ Dungeon in World of WarcraftMythic Keystone

Set the dungeon difficulty to Mythic before entering the dungeon.

A Font of Power will be present at the start of the dungeon.

The player with the Keystone must click on the Font of Power to open the Mythic+ UI.

Drag the Keystone from your bags into the socket in the center of the UI window.

Click the Activate button at the bottom of the window.

Example of a +12 Keystone slotted into the Font of PowerThe Mythic+ Dungeon Timer in World of Warcraft

Beating the timer with less than 20% of the allotted time remaining results in a +1 upgrade, such as going from 3 to 4.

Beating the timer with less than 40% of the allotted time remaining but more than 20% results in a +2 upgrade, such as from 3 to 5.

Beating the timer with more than 40% of the allotted time remaining results in a +3 upgrade, such as from 3 to 6.

If the used Keystone is not Resilient, failing the timer but still completing the dungeon results in a -1 downgrade, such as from 3 to 2.

Mythic+ Lockouts in World of Warcraft

You can complete as many Mythic+ dungeons as you want, as long as at least one player in your party has a Mythic Keystone.

All completed Mythic+ dungeon runs will award loot. Item levels of loot drops depend on the level of the dungeon and whether or not you beat the timer.

Even if you've already completed the same dungeon or level (or both!), you can still receive loot.

You cannot change party members once you have begun a Mythic+ dungeon.Queuing for Mythic+ Dungeons in Group Finder

Open the Group Finder UI by pressing your assigned Keybind (Default: "i").

Navigate down to "Premade Groups" and left-click to open the tab.

Select the "Dungeons" option. To host your own Keystone, select the red "Start a Group" button. To search for other groups to apply to, select the red "Find a Group" button.

Make sure to include/look for all relevant information about the Keystone (Keystone Level, Dungeon, Goals, Party Composition, etc.). If hosting, select the red "List Group" button to allow others to apply to your group. If applying, select the group you'd like to join and click the red "Sign Up" button to apply to the group.

If hosting, select the desired party members to invite to your group. If searching for other groups, you will receive an invite if the host accepted you. You can select "Accept" to join the group, or "Decline" to keep searching for other groups.

Once the party reaches 5 members, the Group Finder tool will close.

Party Utility: Optimizing your Mythic+ Dungeons

Bloodlust: Bloodlust / Heroism / Time Warp / Fury of the Aspects / Void-Touched Drums.
Having access to a powerful Haste buff will allow for larger mob pulls, faster boss kills, and more.

Battle Resurrection spells: There are 4 classes with Battle Resurrection spells: Death Knight, Druid, Paladin, and Warlock.
The ability to resurrect an ally while in combat can often be the saving grace between successful and failed pulls over the course of a group's progression throughout the dungeon run.

Stuns: Certain mobs can pose a significant threat to the group. Having abilities that keep these mobs out of combat for a few seconds can be quite useful. Some stuns can affect multiple mobs, allowing you to temporarily disable entire packs of enemies.

Hard Crowd Control (CC) abilities: Similar to stuns, removing certain mobs entirely from a fight could net the group a much easier dungeon run. An example of such an ability might include Polymorph.

Interrupts abilities: Certain mob casts can unleash devastating abilities on the group if not interrupted. Having your class interrupt is often considered a must-have for Mythic+.

Offensive dispels: Abilities such as Soothe or Purge can be as important as interrupts. Some dungeons may require at least one party member to be able to remove a buff or other beneficial effect from a mob.

Considering all of the weapon skins in this expansion and how amazing they are, it makes me wonder why BM hunter weapons ( guns) are so incredibly underwhelming in comparison..

Comment by 144063

I dont really know the point of running anything past 5

is the extra 15ilvls actually going to make a difference if you go all the way to 10? doubt it.
Just an epeen measurement by that point.

Comment by AridholBWL

Okay to clarify - the chest at the end drops 2 total loot, not 2 for each player?

I assume then that the loot will be group loot rolled for? Personal loot at that point makes no sense at all..

Edit: ... and yet, that's what it is. Not a great system in my opinion, but whatever!

Comment by martin191234

Really good post thank you! Just want to ask if the "duration" on the keystone is 1 week long or does it go along with the weekly Wednesday reset? Lets say I pick one up on Monday, will it say 2 day duration or 7?
And once it the duration ends do you have to start over from level 2?

Comment by boniu

Am I the only one who noticed that Realm First! achievements are returns?

that should be fun

Comment by Suzushiiro

So what sort of loot drops in the Grand Challenger's Bounty? Does it just go off of the mythic dungeon loot table? Can it drop loot from raids? Or is it a unique loot table?

Comment by Tassit

Bolstering + the felbat staircase in Black Rook Hold sucks, holy hell.

Comment by Urganoth

Are you supposed to get a depleted keystone at the end of a successful run? Just beat a level 2 Neltharion's lair and got upgrade to 4 for doing it fast enough but keystone was depleted.

EDIT: Logged back in and it was fixed. How strange.

Comment by Hodur1488

After finish the Dungeon will select a new one but I finished Naltharion´s Lair within the time and the Keystone was upgraded but It was set up for the same dungeon. Is it normal? Can randomly choose the same dungeon?

Comment by aircanada64

So if you complete a run, say Mythic 6, and you don't complete the timer, but you do complete the dungeon. I've also cleared a Mythic 5. Will I get a 865 or 870 piece? In other words do you have have to beat the timer to get credit for the weekly chest level?

Comment by Jazzer360

Since I've not found a list of all the timers for each dungeon, here is a list:

Dungeon	Time	2 Chest	3 Chest
Black Rook Hold	38m	30m 24s	22m 48s
Court of Stars	30m	24m	18m
Darkheart Thicket	30m	24m	18m
Eye of Azshara	35m	28m	21m
Halls of Valor	45m	36m	27m
Maw of Souls	24m	19m 12s	14m 24s
Neltharion's Lair	33m	26m 24s	19m 48s
The Arcway	45m	36m	27m
Vault of the Wardens	33m	26m 24s	19m 48s

Update 10-4-16:
Adjusted the times for the 10-3-16 hotfix.

Update 10-25-16:
Added bonus chest times.

Comment by 1612164

So if I run a +2 Mythic dungeon and fail (because of a terrible PuG), I'll get no loot chest in my order hall at the reset?

Comment by Alucarde

Can you change spec in the middle of a keystone run?

Comment by Kangourou

I completed a level 7 last week, so I should get a level 5 in my weekly chest. Is there a way to get a fresh level 2 (to get more loots during the week), or am I bound to start at level 5 this week?

Comment by thelovefool

Had a +4 completed for the week. Weekly class hall chest gave me a 860 helm, so the chart seems to be off. (Chart says 865)

Comment by HeroProc

Had a level 6 completed and it dumped a 865 piece out from the chest. Confirmed with another person who completed level 6. Chart is off.

Comment by ddrake

factual error:
fortified affix gives 20% HP and 40% DMG
pls fix ;)

Comment by 1676474

Ive got Mythic 9 Titanforged wrists, 875 ilvl from chest,
Completed lvl 9 mythic but not intime

Comment by Rawsons

Does anyone know WHEN the chests will be visible on class hall? Will it be exactly after weekly reset or one week after the Mythic+ dungeon was done? I cleared a level 2 within the timer (3 chests) and a level 5 after the timer (1 chest) but the chest in my townhall does not open and tells me I havent completed any the week before.

Comment by 1614546

just to confirm, if I earn the keystone master achieve (M+15) on any character it unlocks the appearance for all characters?

Comment by Tykes

For any rogue who keeps running around the class hall like a headless chicken searching for the mythic+ box (like me); the chest is in the room behind the bookshelf you open with that torch on the wall.

Comment by smax242

Finished M+6 last week, loot was 865 WARFORGED. No extra socket/trait/double roll.

Comment by 1075612

I ran my first every Mythic last week. It wasnt a joke. The hunter pulled a bunch of trash mobs with barrage......

Comment by akasachmo

There's a lot I dont understand with the Mythic+ dungeons as far as loot..I did a Mythic 5 VoW and I got a Mythic3 Titanforged trinket (890 ilvl)

Comment by Vandalko

I'll answer my own question here - destroying your high level keystone still prevents you from obtaining new one from regular Mythic run this week.

https://www.reddit.com/r/wow/comments/5410nf/there_have_been_a_massive_number_of_posts_about/d7ym1i8

Comment by SairenRUS

I didn't see this anywhere in the post, but here is the thing. DO NOT DELETE THE DEPLETED KEYSTONE.
I realised my mistake too late, so I ran a few more Mythics hoping to get a new key - 0 result. So, might be a bug, but just in case - do not delete it.

Comment by Mark8147

What happens if you don't complete a dungeon? Not leaving a group, just failing to complete it. Will you still get gear in your class hall chest based on the level you participated in? Or get nowt?

Comment by Conjwa

I completed a mythic 8 this past week and received an 870 Mythic 8 Warforged neck in my cache... not sure if the chart is wrong or I got a bugged item.

Comment by FnordCola

So, a question about quests: I know you can't complete dungeon world quests in mythic+ dungeons. The rare mobs/sub-bosses don't spawn, and even "kill n elites that are already there" quests like the bears in darkheart thicket don't get credit in mythic+. What about order hall quests that just require you to complete a dungeon? It seems like they would work with mythic+, but I wondered if anyone knew for sure.

Comment by 1075612

We accidentally queued BRH with 2 tanks but still had plenty of time. Strategy witht he 2 tanks is dont steal aggro but you can hop from trash group to trash group with the 2 tanks leapfrogging near the end of 1 trash group and this saves a bunch of time during trash encounters.

Comment by ddrake

this week in europe we have tyrannical. tooltip when you use the key says 40% health and 20% dmg.
in reality the bosses get 80% health and 40% dmg. possible bug

Comment by 1371287

Does anyone know, if i complete a lvl 7 depleted keystone, the chest of my class hall is going to give me a lvl 7 item? Or only counts the completed in time keystones?

Comment by rzzr

There was one answer I was looking for and I couldn't find it here. The question was 'where did the first mythic keystone come from'.
The answer is that normal mythic doesn't require a key but gives a key on finish providing you do it in a certain time.

Comment by Salus

What does 3 chest run mean exactly?

I've completed a dungeon well within the time and only gotten 2 chests? What are the requirements for 3 chests?

Comment by SnowWhitesAngel

Honestly, this system is incredibly flawed. This system is for people in guild's. End of story.

Now, if you're like me and don't like to socialize in a game, and instead, want to spend your time actually playing, well, you're screwed.
It's possible to do this in LFG, however, if you apply for a guild carry group, you will almost never get in because another applicant will either 1. have a higher ilvl than you, 2. be a more "preferred" class or spec, or 3. have a keystone that the tank likes more than your's, which makes getting into these groups INCREDIBLY hard. Now, you could start your own group, but see, that doesn't work so good either. Both experiences I've had starting my own group, or joining a random PUG group, rather than a guild carry group, have gone awfully. We've had tanks that don't clear the areas around the bosses, thus DPS pulling add's during the fight, and wiping the group, then the tank decides to leave, claiming the DPS "sucked." And thus, deplete your keystone.

I, myself, do not roll alts. I find it's too much work, and prefer to stick to one toon. Now, I know that people like me are a minority, but I'm sure there are others out there who also don't roll alts, or have stopped once Legion was released, as.. Legion appears to be very.. unfriendly, towards alts. So, you could say, it's a bit frustrating when someone depletes your only chance at gear from Mythic+ and from your Class Hall chest for the whole week.

My question is, how in the world does Blizz expect players who aren't in guilds to be able to gear up and enjoy the game when they can't get into any Mythic+ dungeons? And LFR requires a pretty high ilvl to be going off of Heroic and Mythic gear only, that's quite a grind.

Very, very flawed system. Very unhappy with it and with Blizzard for implementing such a silly thing. If someone DC's during your keystone run, for whatever reason (and &*!@ does happen), you're screwed out of any chance at gear.

Comment by cyanraider

I'm gonna use 3 terms here,
Live Keystone: A keystone that's still ticking down
Timed-out Keystone: A keystone that will be dead once you finish the dungeon, but you'll still get one chest when you finish
Dead Keystone (Depleted Keystone): a keystone that does not give a chest when you finish.

Now I know that you are able to leave the dungeon during a keystone run to buy flasks, fix gear, or change talents, and you'd be able to come back no problem but the timer will keep counting down. So even if you take hours to do so, you'd still at least get one chest at the end.

I am in a situation where we were doing a M+10 Vault of the Wardens run where we wiped for hours until we finally got to Cordana Felsong. At this point, all we cared about is clearing the dungeon to get the chest and the weekly reward from the M+10. However, since we took so long, one of our members had to go run some errands and would come back in a few hours. I have a 2 questions here.

1. I've heard that if EVERYONE leaves the dungeon during a live or a timed out keystone, it will be a dead keystone, so even if you come back after everyone has finished, you would not be getting a chest at the end. Is this confirmed?

2. I've had an experience where someone got lagged out in a run and reconnected with no problem, so the same questions as above, if all 5 members were to log off in inside the dungeon, can we log back on at a later time, complete the quest, and still get a chest at the end?

Comment by PendraigHKW

Excellent guide. I'm not clear on this section:

Acquiring the Keystone

If you do not have a Keystone, there are three ways to obtain one:

◾Complete a Mythic dungeon to receive a level 2 Keystone
◾Participate in a Mythic+ dungeon using another player's Keystone to receive a level 2 Keystone
◾Once you have done at least one Mythic+ dungeon, open the Grand Challenger's Bounty in your order hall after a weekly dungeon reset to receive a new Keystone

Now the ignorant question: How, exactly, does a player queue for a Mythic instance to get the ball rolling?

Comment by ThTGuyOOya

So I didn't use my keystone last week and I finally had some time to do a mythic run today (Tuesday) and my damn key was gone. I'm guessing the key disappears after the weekly resets? Is this correct?

Comment by Squizzle

the ilvl drop list seems to not be accurate. ive done a +9 with 2 chests yesterday and today ive gotten an 875 titanforged mythic 9 item out of the class hall chest.

according to the list this item should be atleast 890 due to an 875 base ilvl + atleast 15 ilvl cause its shown as titanforged

Comment by ginny

Upgrading a +15 keystone will not cap at +15, but continue on, e.g. +16 and +17.

Comment by flepser

The remaining times to get two or three chests are:

Dungeon: 2 chests < --- > 3 chests

BRH: 7m;36s <->15m;12s
CoS: 6m <->12m
DHT: 6m <->12m
EoA: 7m <->14m
HoV: 9m <->18m
MoS: 4m 48sec <->9m;36s
ARC: 9m <->18m
VotW: 6m;36s <->13m;12s

So when the timer is higher then these you'll spawn either 2 or 3 chests at the end. Have fun!

Comment by ginny

Mythic+ dungeon affixes are not chosen at random. They follow a strict rotation/schedule. Different regions can start at a different point in the rotation:

Raging - Necrotic - Fortified
Bolstering - Overflowing - Tyrannical
Sanguine - Volcanic - Fortified
Teeming - Necrotic - Tyrannical
Raging - Volcanic - Tyrannical
Bolstering - Skittish - Fortified
Sanguine - Overflowing - Tyrannical
Teeming - Skittish - Fortified

Since the start of Legion, the EU region has been two weeks ahead of the US region, e.g. when US is on Raging - Necrotic - Fortified, then EU will be on Sanguine - Volcanic - Fortified.

The loot reward structure had changed since Beta and we wouldn't be able to know until the first caches started opening . http://kosemsultanepisode.com/

Comment by FractalizeR

Mythic+ Caches in 7.1.5 now reward 15 Essence of Aman'Thul,

Only weekly chests give you Essence of Aman'Thul. Just completing Mythic+ doesn't reward it.

Comment by 16723

So, I did HoV +8 without my stone (which is a HoV +8 keystone) and at the end, the pop up says, Keystone Upgraded +2, but my keystone still is HoV +8, why it doesn't upgrade?

Comment by Enathrae

Please add the 12+ keystone difficulties in the Damage and Health board.

Comment by Hibber

I'm a little confused about what keystone you will get out of the Challengers Cache. I completed a +14 for example and was given a +10 key out of the cache the week after. While in previous weeks when I had completed a +10 i got a +7 the week after. I can't seem to find any info about what keystone level you will get the week after according to what level you completed in the current week.

Comment by Faelystiri

Anyone know if a Depleted keystone would still award the weekly chest? (I know it doesnt award the chest at the end of the dungeon but what about the weekly one.)

Comment by 1637601

For those who are looking to find out how much Artifact Power each dungeon gives after 7.2, I made a table with all of the AP Base for each dungeon and difficulty.

These are the base values, you need to use your Artifact Knowledge multiplier to find out the correct amount for you. I hope this is helpful

Comment by PastoSVK

Since it has changed when 7.2 went live, I'll post here affixes combinations in order as they will occur (hopefuly they will be on schedule again so we will know whats comming):

It is finaly rotating, at least it seems so :)

Comment by jamesevarts3

do we need a 10+ or 15+ for the 20th?

Comment by Cecoura

please update loot ilvl list for 7.2.5 / next ID !

Comment by JolietJerry

I'm a little confused on how the weekly chest loot works. According to the chart it looks like finishing a M+10 should give me a minimum 905 item with a chance to be 915 (Warforged) or 920 (Titanforged)? I got an item with ilvl 905 but it says it's "Mythic 10 Titanforged." Shouldn't it be 920 since it's Titanforged?

Comment by LiriusMagi

Have they changed how keystone levels are rewarded within mythics? One week I did a +11 on my paladin; the next week I got a 10 from the chest but I never did a keystone (nothing completed for the week); the next week I ran a mythic +0 to get a key and received a +9 of the same key from the week before. I did not receive a +2 at all. In other instances, if I missed doing a keystone a week and I run a +0 to get a key, I get something along the lines of a 4 or a 6 ( I assume scaling to the specific toon's highest completed key and then down 1) but not receiving a lower +2.

Comment by 1775108

Level 4 - ilvl 915 classhall chest (second week argus)

Comment by Thranduel

Here is the loot rewards table for 7.3.

These are the minimum level of loot you will receive. It is possible for them to warforge/titanforge to a higher level both in the end of Dungeon Chests and the weekly Class Hall Chest.

Starting 12/5/17 ranks 11-15 now give additional rewards (source).

In addition to the rewards below and AP, you will receive 120x Wakening Essence which can be used to purchase Awoken Titan Essence for 300 essences to upgrade your legendaries to iLvl 1000 or Purified Titan Essence for 1000 essences to unlock a new legendary.

Thanks to everyone who helped me fill in the blanks/confirm the rewards.

I have some new info for the loot chart. A +5 key drops a 900 from the chest in the dungeon. I have no idea about the weekly, but I'd assume it's somewhere at 910 or higher.

Comment by Alugana

Can anyone tell how extra bonus loot works in 7.3.0? Is it extra chance only after +15, or smth changed?

Where is the table of ilvl for loot in mythic + ? Like +6 = 900 +7=905 etc :) Before patch 7.3 this appears here (sorry bad english)

What happend when I dont open weekly chest until next weekend? Will my loot disappear?

Could someone please write a macro that tells us if there is loot waiting in the chest? My life so much better spent in other ways than pointlessly popping back into my class hall.

Strange indeed.

Any one know the item Level reqaierments to eatch M+ ?

Due to the changes in Patch 7.3, we have little to no testing for lower keystones. If you know the base item level received from a Keystone that is lower than 10, please leave a comment below.

Mythic+5 Court of Souls, Raging.
reward: 905ilvl 'Mythic 5 Warforged'

Comment by Darthflamel

The order hall chest the week after a completed mythic + will now drop 250 awakening essence I believe that is so until the release date of BFA

Comment by 1875295

At first I was like what is the point of running the same dungeon over and over again with increased difficulty, but then I actually found it fun! And the variety of buffs makes replayability so much better!

Comment by g90814

All this and no mention of where the weekly chest is located?

Comment by Blackrad

There is one thing the guide doesn't mention: What happens if you fail a +2 key either by not beating the timer or not finishing the dungeon at all? Will you just get another key for a random dungeon at +2? Will you get no key at all?

Comment by 1846567

mythic 2 gives 350 ilvl from weekly chest not 355

Comment by Julathegreat

To my understanding, the new Mythic + Items End of Week rewards do account for Warforged now, I don't think Warforged will actually give you any extra item levels on your End of Week Cache.

Comment by Rudy199

Jesus Christ.. +2 is +10% and +15 is 280 % :O

New afflixes in BFA were added.

Scaling's incorrect. Apparently you are using Legion scaling, someone at /r/competitivewow posted and showcased the new scaling in BfA which matches the ingame numbers: https://redd.it/abt4ju

Season 2 BfA iLVL rewards are off. I just finished a +8 and got a 385 item, not 395 as listed above.

Comment by Gallardo

If you are wondering how much titan residuum you will receive in the weekly mythic plus chest for keys lower than +10 in season 2:

+2 - 15
+3 - 20
+4 - 60
+5 - 70
+6 - 80
+7 - 195
+8 - 205
+9 - 215

Comment by GeertJan

This is where the chest is located: Boralus 67.55 22.40 Grand Challenger's Bounty
After completing a Mythic +2 Dungeon it contained for me:
Mythic Keystone Mythic level 2
Radiant Azerite Matrix, Heart of Azeroth gains 1,000 Artifact Power
Seal of the Regal Loa Mythic 2 iLvl 385
Titan Residuum x15.

Comment by Starlynk

This is a great guide, so first off... Thank you for the work you've put into this.

However, something that I didn't understand is how to get into the initial Mythic 0 dungeons. I looked all over in the dungeon finder which was the wrong place to go. Blizzard doesn't show it at all in game (at least where I could find it) and if you check the Mythic Keystone tab, it doesn't say anything there either.

Can you add more information to the 'Acquiring the Keystone' section to explain where to find groups for Mythic 0 dungeons.

Thanks!

Comment by Taoma

You should update the weekly challenger's section :)

Comment by arbhatt

Now that we are in Season 3 (Patch 8.2), there is a lot of confusion (at least there has been for me) about item level drops at the end of Mythic+ dungeons and also in the weekly chest. Here is the best info that I could find (straight from Blizzard, see link below, I added some clarifying comments in parentheses at times, but it's still very confusing how they wrote it, Blizzard should invest in some grammar and sentence structure classes)

Mythic Keystone Dungeon Updates
- Mythic Keystone rewards have been increased by 30 item levels. During the first week of Season 3 (July 9-15), rewards from end-of-run chests will be capped at item-level 415 for Mythic Keystone at +6 difficulty (or higher), and the weekly cache (available July 9) will be a Season 2 reward (from the highest keystone done in Season 2 the week before).
- Beginning the second week of Season 3 (starting July 16), the weekly cache will not be affected by the (above) cap and will reward Season 3 items at the higher item levels. Completing a Mythic Keystone at +10 difficulty during the first week (July 9-15) will then provide the new highest item level in the weekly cache when it’s available in week 2 (July 16).

Comment by Thranduel

Can you please update the Loot section with the season 3 rewards?

Some of this is a swag (anything with a *) but some comes from other wowhead posts. I'm not sure if anyone has the numbers for Titan Residuum below level 10, but that would be helpful to some people as well.

Can anyone make a table of what general ilvl is good at what keystone levels? It doesn't have to be exact but it'd be nice to know a ballpark idea of where people should be at before attempting.

Comment by Treetog

At the end of the dungeon on +10 the chest drop 445 not 455

Comment by Marticel

So basically for those who never had done anything in Legion due to Artifact Weapons, just have to do a 15 in time now (season 4) to get an Artifact Weapon skin...... is that really what Blizzard is rewarding?
Okay, I guess it's nice for those who didn't got those skins, but most people have, and well, I had expected a little better from Blizz on this tbh.

Comment by MakaveliDon

Weekly chest reward is wrong for +9. You only get a 460 item for it, NOT 465 like you would in a +10.

Comment by FourEyedFoxie

please check and correct end of dungeon loot ilevel. For example, we did a 6 on alts and they got 450 gear not 445.

Comment by Holico

Item level of the rewards changed.

https://us.battle.net/support/en/article/54237

+9 and +10 drops 455
11-13 drop 460
14 & 15 drop 465

9 weekly chest is 460
10 & 11 is 465
12 - 14 is 470
and 15 is 475

Comment by jtcullifer1

Thanks for the guide, extremely helpful. As someone who just started doing Mythic+ runs, this helped me get a better understanding of the different affixes each week, and why some weeks would be more difficult than others based on pairings.

I am still a bit green on the Loot Tables for the weekly chest, and am curious if there are any benefits to doing more Mythic+ runs each week other than just upgrading your key and chance at a higher level Loot item. Say for instance, if you did 6 runs in a week starting from Mythic+5 to Mythic+10, is there any benefit gained outside of gear and keystone? Like do you get a cumulative amount of Titan Residuum, or just the base amount for your highest key used successfully? I am currently at M10, and did pretty much them all from M0 to M10 this week in various order of what the keys came to me from the chests.

Also, I do not see anything listed here, but are there any other potential rewards available in the Dungeon Loot / Weekly Chest? Just curious as I know Island Expeditions offer a lot of different variants from Transmogs, Pets, Mounts, etc...

Comment by Valazdin

Dear Blizz community, I'm just throwing this out there, but I would like to see BFA Mythic+ playable in the following expansions (nice if Legion could be too). My vision on how it would work and the benefits to the game:
The keys just keep getting bigger, and so does the % increase in dmg and health in mobs. This would mean that at some point people would run mythic+200, which would be just as challenging as it was the first day the expansion came out. As gear ilvl increases, the mythic+ increases with no need to recode the dungeons. As far as rewards, you can figure out a gear system that would fit too (5 ilvls per every 20lvls of key or whatever works out in the math department). Or you can award tokens that one can spend to get gear in the current expansion. You can make the call if you want to increase the affix on the keys as the get higher. While I think that at +100 the dmg and health increase would be like 400% or something crazy so that would balance out, but if you want to add a random affix every 20lvls that would/could work as well. Overall, as the player gear increases it will hit a mythic+ that will challenge the player, it may jump from lvl20 to lvl100 in the first week, but it will hit a wall as long as the dmg/health of mobs goes up 2% per key lvl or whatever it is.

Benefits:

You now have more content to play when doing mythic + content (and maybe during MDI).
The content is now not throw away work going forward (playable for the life of the game!)
New challenges for players, like who can get the highest key completed. The goal and challenge would change and grow all the time, making those older dungeons played more and with "current content".
Will allow players to play their favorite dungeons from past expansions with new friends.

Down side:

I really can't think of any...
Maybe you have to recode the keys to keep increasing, but that is a one time thing.
Possible bugs when keys get to high.

Comment by Diaki

Hi there, love this guide <3
With the SL prepatch and the ilvl squish, the numbers on the loot sadly aren't accurate anymore...
The new loot table can be found on this reddit post:

Comment by catsniffer99

The reduced amount of loot drops in Mythic+ during Shadowlands is ridiculous, especially when you get shafted by RNG. As of now, I have completed 23 dungeons in time where there are 2 chances at loot (40% chance). This would mean I should get about 9 pieces of loot, but nope I got 4 pieces from 23 dungeons. GG blizz.

Comment by Sephirithane

The title for the first achievement is incorrectly displayed here. It is "The Prideful" not "The Sinful".

Comment by Rudy199

I like how 7,8 and 9 drop the same ilvl lol.

Comment by Icebot

Would it be possible to get an updated version of the timer chart, things like DoS have had their timer extended? It would be nice to have an updated chart for reference.

Comment by corrupt733

Please update this line "The Keystone received will be one level lower than the best Mythic+ dungeon you completed last week, or a Keystone Level 2, whichever is higher" with the updated information. I had a Blizzard customer support rep reference this incorrect information in a ticket just now.

I don't know why you removed this info?

Comment by RSMurphy

It's important to note that the End-of-Dungeon reward from a +10 has now increased to 207 and doesn't increase further until +15.

A little confusing that the table hasn't been updated to reflect this, or maybe the table is right and this statement is now wrong.

Comment by Fiskarna

Any reason why loot table at end is missing Mythic 0 loot? Should look something like the following:
Mythic 0 | 184 | n/a

Comment by octnoir

For Season 2 I got a Sanguine and Necrotic key together the week before Bolstering and Explosive.

Comment by rough

There's a broken link in the "Raider.IO Scores" section.

Comment by Kretyn

M+ dungeons reward 2 pieces of loot if the dungeon is timed or overtimed. If it is overtimed, one of the pieces of loot will be at an ilvl slightly less than the other, where as the other will be at the ilvl that the dungeon keystone level is supposed to drop. I've heard that anything above a 15 has a chance to drop an additional piece of loot (total of 3 pieces), but have yet to confirm this.

Comment by docesam2

how do you put your feet in a mythic zero dungeon?

Comment by Warmise

I've been clearing 15+ Mythic Dungeons and they drop both 395 and 398. Anyone know the reason for this?

Comment by Mathon

timers for dragonflight season 1 are wrong and links shadowlands dungeons

Comment by naylz

Sorry if this has already been answered, I scanned through the comments but did not see it:

As I understand the system, only one member of a party needs to have the Keystone to insert into the Mythic + apparatus.

If I have a Mythic Keystone in my bags (let's say a level 2 for Dungeon X), I then get into a Mythic 5 for Dungeon Y (which Player 2 activates in the Mythic + apparatus), and we complete Dungeon Y with a +1 timer what happens to my personal Keystone in my bags? Does it get an upgrade or does it remain unchanged?

The point is: Is the only way for me to advance my own personal Keystone to be the one who activates the apparatus each and every time?

Comment by estarianne

The dungeon links all go to shadowlands dungeons lol
