Mythic dungeons do not have a daily lockout, instead, they have a weekly lockout, which means you can only loot bosses in Mythic dungeons once per week. This weekly lockout is in place to prevent players from repeatedly farming the same dungeon for loot, and to encourage players to try different dungeons and activities throughout the week.
Understanding Mythic Dungeons Lockout
To understand how Mythic dungeons work, it’s essential to know that Mythic keystones are used to access these dungeons, and each keystone has a specific level and dungeon associated with it. The lockout system is designed to prevent players from exploiting the system by repeatedly running the same dungeon with different groups.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Do Mythic Dungeons Have a Mandatory Weekly Lockout?
Mythic dungeons have a mandatory weekly lockout for every expansion they’ve been in, while Normal dungeons can be run multiple times without any lockout, and Heroic dungeons used to have a daily lockout.
2. Can You Complete Mythic+ Dungeons Multiple Times?
The Mythic+ dungeon system has no lockouts, allowing players to complete as many Mythic+ dungeons as they want, as long as at least one player in the party has a Mythic Keystone.
3. How Often Do Mythic Dungeons Reset?
Mythic dungeons reset weekly, but this does not affect Mythic Keystone dungeons, which can be run multiple times without any lockout.
4. How Does Mythic Lockout Work?
Mythic difficulty‘s lockout works differently from other raiding difficulties, where players are bound to the raid ID, meaning if you join a Mythic raid and defeat a boss, you will be bound to that Mythic raid ID.
5. Can You Only Do Mythic Dungeons Once a Week?
You may only loot bosses in Mythic dungeons once per week, and if you’ve completed the dungeon in Mythic before, you’ll need to wait until the weekly reset to repeat the dungeon for loot.
6. What Happens If You Don’t Finish a Mythic in Time?
Mythic keystones will downgrade if the dungeon is not completed within the timer or if the character who used the keystone leaves the dungeon.
7. How Do You Get a 2500 Mythic Rating?
To get a 2500 Mythic rating, you’ll need to complete Mythic Plus Dungeons within the Dragonflight dungeons pool, and try to complete as high keys as possible to minimize the time it takes to get your Mythic Score.
8. Do Mythic Keys Reset Every Week?
Keystones do reset every week, but the level of the new key is determined by your highest completed key the previous week, either matching your highest timed key or 1 level lower than your highest key completed over time.
9. Can You Join Another Mythic Lockout?
No, the Mythic lockout still works the same way, and you’re stuck with whatever group you start with, or you could invite 19 new people and continue on if they were somehow willing to join your 2/8 lockout.
10. How Often Do Mythic Dungeons Change?
Each key will either be Fortified or Tyrannical, and these will swap every week, changing which dungeons are tougher or easier on a bi-weekly basis.
11. Does 10 Man and 25 Man Share Lockout?
It was confirmed that 10 & 25 share the same lockout based on difficulty, so you can do 25m heroics and 10m normals.
12. Can You Do Heroic and Mythic in the Same Week?
The only way to go for Mythic was to do it from the start and use whatever time you had left to finish up Heroic, but if you clear Heroic early in the week, you can run Mythic after.
13. What is the Hardest Mythic Dungeon?
The hardest Mythic dungeon is either Necrotic Wake or Sanguine Depths, depending on the week, with Necrotic being a throughput check and Sanguine being a lesser throughput check but can be made worse if people don’t dodge or are slow to swap.
14. Why Do People Leave Mythic Keys?
People leave Mythic keys if they constantly get boosted to that key and don’t belong there, so it’s recommended to drop the key by a few levels to your level and people will stop leaving instead of hoping for a free boost.
15. Can You Lose Your Mythic Key?
If the current Keystone was deleted, another one won’t be available from any of the possible Keystone sources until after the weekly dungeon reset, but if it was accidentally deleted, it can be recovered through the Battle.net Item Restoration service.
