World of Warcraft: Dragonflightcontinues the now-established end-game system of Mythic Plus, an endless dungeon difficulty mode that provides a challenge for all levels of player. Revolving around a seasonal rotation of eight old and new dungeons, it is a great way of taking part in small-scale end-game content.

Whether you are aiming to reach new heights or just starting out, Mythic Plus can be a great experience in which to have fun, make new friends, and progress your characters. This guide will explain how this system works with all the variables involved, how to physically begin a run, and what rewards you can acquire.
What Are Mythic Plus Dungeons?
In essence, Mythic Plus is atimed, endlessly scaling dungeon difficulty. WhileNormal,HeroicandMythicmode dungeons are tuned to present a specific level of challenge, Mythic Plus scales with whatever the supplied Keystone level is, and can theoretically scale endlessly. You will spend your Mythic Keystones to activate a designated instance, whichmust be completed within the time limitto level up the key. If youfailto time the run,your key will lower by one level instead.
Keys can be upgraded up to a maximum ofthree levels, depending on how quickly you complete a run.
The Keystone difficulty begins at two and increases for every successfully completed key. Each key level will have a scaling factor; the higher the key level, the greater the possible rewards. This difficulty increase is not linear, meaningthe difference between a level two and three key is smaller than the jump between a 19 and 20. The breakdown of how Mythic Plus scales per key level can be shown as follows:

Alongside ramping up the base enemy difficulty, Mythic Plus introduces newaffixesat fixed keystone levels. These affixes modify the dungeon with various new effects, such as explosive orbs or enemies dealing increased health at lower health percents. Each key will either beFortifiedorTyrannical, and these will swap every week, changing which dungeons are tougher or easier on a bi-weekly basis.
Certain affixes are more difficult to deal with, and some combinations can be especially tricky. Each week presents a new rotation, so even if you don’t do so well during one week, you can always come back next reset for a new challenge.

InDragonflight Season One, the seasonal affix is calledThundering, which is present at all keystone levels above level nine.This affix will rotate out upon the launch of Season Two, to be replaced by a brand-new seasonal mechanic.
Completing Mythic Plus keys will reward you withMythic Plus Rating, a score that increases depending on yourbest Fortified and Tyrannical run of each dungeon. attempt to complete every dungeon on each affix to maximise your rating.
How To Access Mythic Plus Dungeons
A systemonly for maximum level characters, your Mythic Keystone can be acquired either fromcompleting your first Mythic/ Mythic Plus dungeon of the weekor picked up directly from yourGreat Vault. The dungeon is entirely random, and the Keystone level will be the same as the best Mythic Plus dungeon you completed the previous week if the dungeon was in time, or one level lower if it was not in time.
To activate a Mythic Plus dungeon, you must enter the correctMythic difficultyinstance, where you will then see abronze Font of Powerclose to the entrance.Place your keystone inside and click activate. This will give all players a ten-second countdown before the key begins, after which the timer will start.
As this is dungeon content, you will want aparty of five playersto take part.OneTank,oneHealer, andthree DPS. Certain compositions will perform better in this form of content, but if you are just starting out, don’t worry too much about what classes to bring, andfocus more on learning the individual dungeonsthat make up a seasonal rotation.
If you want to intentionally lower your Keystone’s level, you can talk toLindormi, found at53,56inValdrakken. However, she will not be able to reroll the specified dungeon, as this can only be done at the end of a successful run,provided your key level is equal or lower to the run you just finished.
Available Mythic Plus Rewards
The higher the Keystone level you complete, the higher the item level of your rewards. Completing eitherone,four, oreightMythic Plus dungeons will also grant you anadditional Great Vault slot, the item level of which is determined by your lowest run within that bracket. The loot pool of end of dungeon loot isrestricted to that specific instance, whereas The Great Vault can provide any random Mythic Plus item, regardless of whether you completed that instance this week.
