Mythic+ Dungeons

Mythic+ Dungeons

Dive into Mythic Deadmines, Scarlet Monastery, Zul'farrak, and more to earn powered-up versions of that dungeon’s gear. Climb through Mythic+ in an ascending staircase of difficulty where you’ll always find a challenge and a loot to match. 

Overview

Ascension completely overhauls all dungeons to fully support different difficulties. More difficult dungeons award enhanced versions of that dungeon’s gear. This means you can get Mythic+ versions of powerful dungeons items like Ironfoe or the Hand of Justice. Find new ways to power up your hero, or try out wild new playstyles made possible by powerful gear!

  • Normal
  • Heroic
  • Mythic+

For those seeking greater challenges, Mythic+ (M+) dungeons offer infinite scaling difficulty and competitive progression:

  • Timed Dungeon Runs – Mythic+ dungeons introduce a time limit. Complete the dungeon before time runs out for extra rewards!
  • Keystones & Scaling – Players use Mythic Keystones to enter dungeons at higher difficulties, increasing enemy health, damage, and encounter complexity.
  • Weekly Affixes – Mythic+ dungeons feature random modifiers (Affixes) that add new challenges each week.

Weekly Affixes

Mythic+ dungeons feature random modifiers (Affixes) that add new challenges each week, a few examples are;

Mythical Boons

Not all affixes are negative—Mythical Boons are positive affixes that grant buffs to your group. Boon crystals are located at set points in all Mythic+ eligible dungeons; clicking one gives every player in line of sight a random boon. Boon effects can be refreshed and stacked up to 5 times by activating additional crystals before the current boon expires. Most Boons grant standard buffs, but two are exceptions:

  • Phasewalk: Grants full invisibility, allowing you to bypass mobs (even those with invisibility detection) and pass through locked doors without meeting normal unlock conditions.
  • Inquisition: Causes players to fire damaging lasers that can pull mobs through walls and floors—use carefully.

Edrim Skysong, Mythic+ Vendor

Edrim Skysong, located in Shattrath, is an essential NPC in Mythic+ dungeon running. Visiting him will be critical to getting the most out of your time and gear. In exchange for Mythic Coins, he'll upgrade your M+ gear & keystones, downgrade your keystone if necessary. Additionally, and perhaps most importantly, you can take all of your unwanted M+ dungeon spoils and quickly recycle them with Edrim Skysong for additional Mythic Coins.

Mythic Keys & Coins

Once you clear a Mythic-0 Dungeon (Don't forget to loot the boss!), you will be awarded a Mythic-1 Keystone with various effects. These effects change each week, so you will be given 7 days to complete the Mythic dungeon using that keystone.

Completing a dungeon within the allotted time will upgrade your Keystone by +1; failing to do so will downgrade it by 1. Higher Keystone levels offer greater rewards. Regardless of whether you beat the timer, finishing a dungeon grants you a Personal Spoils chest matching the Keystone’s level (for example, completing a Mythic 3 dungeon awards a Mythic 3 Spoils chest).

Mythic+ Rewards

When you successfully complete a Mythic+ dungeon, you'll earn caches containing gear specific to that dungeon. The number of caches awarded depends on your group's overall performance:

  • Finishing both the boss and trash requirements with at least 60% of the dungeon's timer remaining rewards three caches.  
  • Finishing within 40% of the timer grants two caches.  
  • Completing the requirements with less than 39% of the timer left rewards one cache.

You can earn up to 25 caches per week, and this cap both accumulates and grows over time.

Additionally, completing a Mythic+ dungeon grants Mythic Coins, which you can use to upgrade your Mythic items by speaking with Edrim Skysong in the middle of Shattrath.

Mythic+ Gear Recycling & Extra Coins

Edrim Skysong is there to make gear recycling effortless. Simply sell your unwanted Mythic+ items directly to him and he'll convert them into Mythic+ Coins instantly. This vendor-based approach transforms recycling from a chore into a seamless part of your post-run routine. Clear out your bags and grab your coins.
