How Do I Get Mythic 0? A Comprehensive Guide to Mythic Dungeons in World of Warcraft

So, you’re ready to dive into the challenging world of Mythic dungeons in World of Warcraft, but you’re not quite sure where to start? You’ve heard whispers of Mythic 0 (M0) and want to know how to get in on the action? This guide will break it down for you, providing everything you need to know about accessing and running Mythic 0 dungeons.

Understanding Mythic 0

Before we delve into how to access them, let’s clarify what Mythic 0 dungeons actually are. Mythic 0 is the base difficulty level of a Mythic dungeon. It’s a step up from Heroic dungeons but serves as the entry point into the more challenging Mythic+ system. Mythic 0 dungeons are more difficult than Heroic but are still considered manageable for groups with decent gear and some tactical awareness. Unlike Mythic+ dungeons, which have escalating difficulty, Mythic 0 dungeons always maintain the same difficulty level.

How to Access Mythic 0 Dungeons

The key difference between accessing Normal/Heroic dungeons and Mythic 0 dungeons is the absence of a random queue system. You can’t simply queue up and be matched with other players for a Mythic 0. Instead, you’ll need to form your own group or apply to existing groups. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

1. Forming a Group:

   • Use the Group Finder (Default hotkey ‘I’). Navigate to the “Premade Groups” tab and select “Dungeons”.
   • You’ll see a list of groups that are looking for players. Alternatively, you can create your own group. Click “Start a Group” and select the desired Mythic 0 dungeon.
   • Be clear in your group’s title. For example, “M0 [Dungeon Name] – Need Tank/Heals/DPS,” will quickly inform other players what you’re looking for.
   • Once you’ve created the group, players can apply to join. Review applications and select players who fit your needs.

2. Joining an Existing Group:

   • In the Group Finder, browse the existing groups.
   • Look for groups specifically advertising Mythic 0 runs. They often list the dungeon name and what roles they are looking for.
   • Click on the group and select “Apply to Join”. The group leader will then decide whether to accept you into the group.

3. Meeting the Requirements:

   • While there isn’t a specific gear level requirement, it’s generally advisable to have item level (iLvl) 370+. If you are higher level the run will be much easier. Check in the group finder what gear level the group leader wants. Some groups want 400+ iLvl.
   • It’s not essential, but having a basic understanding of the dungeon’s mechanics is helpful to avoid unnecessary wipes.

4. Entering the Dungeon:

   • Once you’re in a group, you’ll need to travel to the entrance of the chosen Mythic 0 dungeon.
   • The group leader will right-click on the dungeon entrance and select “Mythic” difficulty. You will see the dungeon portal will change to signify it is now mythic.
   • The group leader can then enter the dungeon, which will create the Mythic version of the instance for the whole group.
   • All members of the group must enter the dungeon before engaging the first boss or pulling too many mobs.

Completing your first Mythic 0 of the week on a character will grant you a Mythic+ Keystone, unlocking the more challenging version of the dungeons. They’re also a valuable source of gear and help players familiarize themselves with new dungeons and their mechanics before tackling them at higher difficulty.
