Can You Still Get Season 1 Keystone Master?
The definitive answer is no, you cannot obtain the Keystone Master achievement for Dragonflight Season 1 anymore. This achievement was exclusive to the first season of the Dragonflight expansion and was only attainable while that season was active. Now that Dragonflight Season 1 has ended, the opportunity to earn its specific rewards and accomplishments has passed.
What Was Keystone Master in Dragonflight Season 1?
Keystone Master in Dragonflight Season 1 required players to achieve a Mythic+ Rating of at least 2000. This rating was earned by completing Mythic+ dungeons within the season’s specific dungeon pool. It wasn’t simply about completing a single +15 dungeon; rather, it was about achieving a consistent level of success across multiple dungeons.
How Mythic+ Rating Worked
The Mythic+ rating system rewards players for completing dungeons at higher difficulties and within the time limit. A 2000 rating was generally equivalent to completing all dungeons at a +15 difficulty, both in their Tyrannical and Fortified versions. However, the system also allowed for flexibility. Players could make up for slightly lower runs in one dungeon with higher runs in another, so long as the overall rating reached 2000. For example, completing a +14 in one dungeon could be compensated for with a +16 in another. The goal was a total rating, not merely completing a specific level in every dungeon.
Historical Significance
The Keystone Master achievement for Dragonflight Season 1 serves as a historical marker for players who participated in that initial season. It reflects the skill and dedication of those who mastered the dungeons at the time. It serves as a badge of honor, signifying their accomplishments during a specific period of the game’s lifecycle. It is important to note that this achievement and the rewards associated with it can no longer be earned.
