How to Embark on Your Mythic Dungeon Journey in World of Warcraft: Dragonflight
The world of World of Warcraft: Dragonflight offers a plethora of challenges, and among the most rewarding are the Mythic dungeons. Unlike their Normal or Heroic counterparts, Mythic dungeons require a different approach, focusing on organized groups and strategic gameplay. If you’re wondering how to dive into this challenging content, you’ve come to the right place.
How to Start a Regular Mythic Dungeon
To start a regular Mythic dungeon (Mythic 0), you need to follow these steps:
- Form a Group: Unlike Normal and Heroic dungeons, there is no automatic queue for Mythic dungeons. You must manually assemble a group of five players. You can do this through your guild, friends, or by using the Premade Groups section in the Group Finder tool. Select “Dungeons” and search for groups looking to run Mythic 0. You can also create your own group.
- Travel to the Dungeon Entrance: Once your group is formed, you must physically travel to the entrance of the desired dungeon. Mythic dungeons are located in the same place as their Normal and Heroic versions. This step is crucial, as there is no teleportation feature for Mythic dungeons via the dungeon finder.
- Set the Difficulty: Once your group is inside the dungeon entrance, the group leader needs to set the difficulty to Mythic. This is done by right-clicking on your character portrait and selecting “Dungeon Difficulty” then “Mythic”. This is crucial for initiating a Mythic 0 run.
- Begin the Dungeon: Once the difficulty is set, you are ready to begin! Simply walk into the dungeon instance and begin your adventure. There is no special object to interact with to begin a Mythic 0.
That’s it! Successfully completing a Mythic 0 run is an excellent step in gearing up and also a requirement for obtaining your first Mythic+ Keystone.
Frequently Asked Questions About Mythic Dungeons
To further clarify the nuances of Mythic dungeons and help you navigate this endgame content, here are 15 frequently asked questions:
1. What’s the difference between Mythic and Mythic+ dungeons?
Mythic dungeons (Mythic 0) are the base level of the Mythic difficulty. They are slightly harder than Heroic dungeons and have a weekly lockout for loot. Mythic+ dungeons, on the other hand, utilize a Mythic Keystone to scale the dungeon’s difficulty. Each keystone level increases enemy health and damage and add affixes (special modifiers). Mythic+ dungeons can be run repeatedly without a weekly lockout.
2. How do I obtain a Mythic Keystone?
You can receive a Mythic+ Keystone each week from:
- Looting your Great Vault (if you completed a Mythic+ dungeon the prior week).
- Completing a Mythic+ dungeon.
- Completing a non-keystone Dragon Isles Mythic dungeon (Mythic 0).
3. Can you run the same Mythic dungeon multiple times?
Yes, but with a distinction. Mythic+ dungeons have no lockouts, allowing you to run them repeatedly. However, Mythic 0 dungeons have a weekly lockout, meaning you can only loot each boss once per week.
4. Do Mythic dungeons reset daily?
No, Mythic dungeons (Mythic 0) reset weekly. This reset does not affect Mythic Keystone dungeons, which can be run as many times as desired but your keystone only applies to one dungeon at a time.
5. Is there a queue for Mythic dungeons?
No, there is no queue for Mythic dungeons (Mythic 0) or Mythic+ dungeons. You must form your own groups and travel to the dungeon entrances.
6. How do I activate a Mythic+ dungeon?
To activate a Mythic+ dungeon, after entering a Mythic difficulty instance you will find a Font of Power near the entrance. Place your Mythic Keystone inside and click activate. This will trigger a ten-second countdown before the dungeon timer begins.
7. What happens if I don’t time a Mythic+ key?
If you fail to complete a Mythic+ dungeon within the timer, your keystone will downgrade to a random dungeon that is one level lower.
8. Do Mythic keys expire?
Mythic keys do not expire during the week but will be replaced by a new key at the weekly reset.
9. What’s the recommended item level for Mythic dungeons?
While it varies depending on skill level and group composition, players should aim for an item level of 340+ for Mythic 0 dungeons. Realistically, 350-360 is often recommended for a smoother experience for the average player. For Mythic+ dungeons, higher item levels and familiarity with the dungeon are necessary.
10. What is a Mythic 0?
Mythic 0 refers to setting the dungeon to Mythic difficulty without using a Mythic Keystone. It’s a great starting point for players looking to experience Mythic content and earn their first Mythic+ Keystone.
11. Which is the easiest Mythic dungeon in Dragonflight?
According to player consensus, Shadowmoon Burial Grounds is often considered one of the easiest Mythic dungeons in Dragonflight due to its relatively straightforward layout and mechanics.
12. What does 2000 Mythic+ rating mean?
A Mythic+ rating of 2000 is achieved by completing a +15 in every dungeon, both Tyrannical and Fortified. However, this can also be achieved by completing higher levels in some dungeons if needed.
13. Does everyone need a key for a Mythic+ dungeon?
No, only one player in the party needs a Mythic Keystone to begin a Mythic+ dungeon. The keystone will dictate the dungeon and its difficulty.
14. How hard are Mythic 0 compared to Heroic dungeons?
Mythic 0 dungeons are only slightly harder than Heroic dungeons, making them a good entry point for players looking to progress to harder content.
15. How many Mythic dungeons are there in the game?
There are currently 48 dungeons available with Mythic difficulty, spread across various expansions. These dungeons do not have a dungeon finder to queue for but must be manually traveled to with your group.
