World of Warcraft Mythic+ Guide: How to Do Mythic+, Rules, and Rewards

Are you a seasoned World of Warcraft player looking for a new challenge? Do you want to earn high-level gear and rewards? Look no further than Mythic+, the endgame activity that's taking the WoW community by storm. In this guide, we'll cover everything you need to know about Mythic+, including how to do it, the rules and conditions, and the rewards you can expect.

What is Mythic+ in WoW?

Mythic+ is a nearly endlessly scaling mode that challenges players to complete dungeons with added modifiers and tasks. With a party of five, consisting of a tank, three DPS, and a healer, you'll need to work together to overcome the hurdles and earn powerful gear that can't be found elsewhere. Each season, a new rotation of dungeons will become available as Mythic+ options, with some coming from the current expansion and others from previous expansions.

How to Do Mythic+

To get started with Mythic+, you'll need to obtain a Mythic Keystone, which can be found by clearing a Mythic dungeon. The Keystone will contain the details of the dungeon, including the difficulty level and affixes. You can also speak to Lindormi in Valdrakken to get a new Keystone or lower the level of your existing one.

Here are the steps to begin a Mythic+ dungeon:

Set your dungeon difficulty to Mythic before entering.
Head to the dungeon listed on your Keystone and enter. Everyone in the party must be inside the dungeon for the next steps.
Once you enter, you should see a Font of Power. This will look like a small podium you can interact with.
Head over and interact with the Podium, and a UI window will appear, asking you to insert your Keystone.
Place your Keystone from your Inventory into the slot, and it will update the UI with your Keystone's details. You must have a Keystone that matches the dungeon for this to work.
Click the Activate button, and the game will put you into a loading screen before reloading you back, only with a large ghostly wall at the beginning of the dungeon.
After a 10-second timer, the dungeon will open, and the Mythic+ run will begin.

Rules and Conditions of Mythic+

Mythic+ dungeons are more challenging than normal dungeons, primarily due to the multiple rules and conditions that make them more difficult. Here are some of the key differences:

Objectives: You'll need to complete two objectives while in a Mythic+ dungeon. The first is to defeat every boss in the dungeon, with Mythic versions having a few extra tricks or mechanics you'll need to deal with during fights. The second is to defeat a certain number of Enemy Forces, which are the mobs you find throughout the dungeon.
Affixes: Along with these objectives, you must contend with Affixes, which affect certain aspects of the dungeon and provide different challenges. These can include enemy and boss health increases, extra abilities to avoid and dispel, or additional mechanics to avoid during a dungeon.
Timer: Mythic+ dungeons have a timer that players need to beat for the dungeon to be considered a success. This is usually around the 30-minute area, and completing a Mythic+ dungeon on time will increase your Keystone level, raising the challenge and the rewards. Failure to complete the dungeon in time will deplete the Keystone, causing it to go down a level, and finishing it quicker has a chance of increasing its level by multiple levels.

Restrictions

There are a few restrictions when undertaking this kind of content, including:

Gear and talent locks: Once you begin a Mythic+ dungeon, you will not be able to change your equipped gear (except for weapons) or your talents.
Combat Resurrections: Combat Resurrections, such as Raise Ally and Soulstone, are a shared resource, sharing the same cooldown. You can only store five charges at a time and gain an additional charge every 10 minutes.

Rewards in Mythic+

Unlike normal dungeons, Mythic+ will not drop your rewards for every boss. Instead, a chest will appear at the end of the dungeon, containing personalized loot for your party, depending on your class restrictions and specializations. You can also earn rewards through the Great Vault, which sees you earn extra loot of higher power depending on your best Mythic+ runs over a week.

By following this guide, you'll be well on your way to becoming a Mythic+ expert and earning the rewards you deserve. Good luck, and happy gaming!
