Mythic+ arrives to Area-52
Heroes,
The Mythic+ system arrives on Area-52!
Mythic+ has been faithfully recreated, upgraded and improved upon since the original launch in Season 7. With the Mythic+ system coming to TBC, you will now be able to enjoy and delve through your favorite TBC dungeons with ever-expanding difficulty and itemization.
The System
The Mythic+ system is an enormous undertaking. Releasing with 10 levels of difficulty, Heroes will be able to upgrade their keystone, take down enemies, and score Mythic-tier loot from tiers 1-10. Additionally, the Mythic+ system on Ascension will not reset. Rather than serving as a raid catch-up mechanic, Mythic+ is designed to exist alongside raids with further difficulties releasing later this year; this release in particular will lay the framework for future Mythic+ releases, scaling, affixes and tuning of items, creatures and bosses for TBC.
- Tiers 1-10 will unlock on April 9th, at 18:00 Server Time.
- Upgrade your keystone to progress further into deeper mythic levels.
- Affixes will occur at levels 2, 4, 7 and 10.
For Heroes unaware: you can obtain the Keystone required for Mythic+ by killing the last boss of a Mythic 0 Dungeon. Keep in mind that you can only have one Keystone at any time, and you can upgrade it by completing Mythic+ Dungeons within their time limit.
Future Mythic+ Affixes coming to Area-52
- Champion Affixes
- Champions are empowered creatures that have their very own affix that can empower nearby allies or even serve as a miniature wrecking ball. Heroes will find Champions in higher level Mythic+ dungeons, and these powerful creatures serve as one more challenge to overcome.

- Boon Affixes
- Boon Affixes are obtained from the Mythical Boons found within all Mythic + Levels. These Boon Crystals give you a super powerful but consumable item that grants you a temporary buff that empowers your entire party. Mythical Boons are not located within normally treaded paths in the Mythic+ instances and are bound to shuffle your normal everyday mythic+ route.

- Environmental Affixes
- Environmental Affixes are found within the highest levels of Mythic+ and will push you to the limit, causing extreme friction and tension with every inch of movement by empowering mobs, debuffing your allies or even spinning you off-track. Stay on your toes.
Loot and Rewards
When you complete a Mythic+ dungeon, you’re rewarded with a personal loot chest that you have some control over: Heroes can choose between Strength, Agility, Intelligence, Spirit, or Miscellaneous to be rewarded with gear of that type.
Important:
The Mythic+ Personal Loot is heavily influenced by each item’s Primary Stat. Not YOUR primary stat, but the HIGHEST STAT on the item. For example, if you’re looking to get the Bangle of Endless Blessings out of your loot box, you’ll notice it has more Spirit than any other intellect, strength or agility. This heavily influences the items' weight into the Spirit category.
That means by choosing the spirit reward from your loot box you have a chance to get this item. Even though you can never guarantee an item, this makes sure that heroes looking for particular stats can influence their Mythic+ rewards. Choose a stat, and you will get an item that has the selected stat as its biggest stat or is heavily influenced by its main stat.
Heroes DO have a weekly loot cap--every week, you can claim gear from up to 25 loot boxes! Additionally, the loot contained within these boxes can be from ANY dungeon, so you don’t have to complete SPECIFIC dungeons to have a chance to get meaningful upgrades.
Finally, Heroes can also choose Mystic Orbs and Mystic Runes from their Loot Box at any time or if they exceed the weekly cap, and these rewards do not count towards the Weekly cap. Use these to get some spoils when you’re helping other Heroes catch up!
CLOSING NOTES & RELEASE DATE
Two dungeons will be excluded with the initial release of Mythic+ until a further rework for this difficulty is deployed, Escape From Durnholde Keep and Opening the Dark Portal featured a certain element of RNG that could determine if your run was able to be completed in time or not. Loot from the Mythic+ Cache will still have items from this instance but you certainly won’t have to worry about getting these instances in your Keystone pool.
Mythic+ will open at 18:00 Server Time, April 9th on Area-52!
Good luck out there in the depths of Mythic+, Heroes!
