The question of how many times you can receive loot from a Mythic dungeon in World of Warcraft is a common one, and the answer isn’t always straightforward. The core rule is this: You can only loot a boss in a regular Mythic dungeon (Mythic 0) once per week. This limitation is tied to the weekly reset, which means that after you’ve defeated a boss in a Mythic 0 dungeon and claimed your loot, you will need to wait until the next weekly reset to loot the same boss again. This system is in place to prevent players from endlessly farming the same dungeon for gear upgrades.
However, this is where the “Mythic” conversation splits into two paths – Mythic 0 and Mythic+. While both are “Mythic” difficulty, they operate under different rules when it comes to loot.
Mythic 0: A Weekly Limit
Understanding Mythic 0 Lockouts
Mythic 0 dungeons have a weekly lockout. This means that you are only eligible for loot from each boss within the dungeon once per reset. After you’ve cleared a Mythic 0 dungeon, you cannot return to that same dungeon and get loot again until the weekly reset. It’s a hard reset, and there’s no way around it. The weekly reset varies by region but is typically on Tuesday mornings for most players in the Americas, and Wednesday mornings for EU realms. Customer Support will not assist you with resetting these lockouts.
The Purpose of Mythic 0
These dungeons serve as a starting point into Mythic content. They’re more challenging than heroic dungeons and offer better loot to prepare players for the difficulty of Mythic+ dungeons or even raiding. While you can’t infinitely farm them for gear, they are a solid source of initial upgrades at the beginning of a season or when gearing up an alt character.
Mythic+: Unlimited Attempts, Different Rewards
Mythic+ Dungeons: No Loot Lockouts
Here’s where the exciting part begins. Mythic+ dungeons have no lockout for looting purposes. You can run them as many times as you want within a week. There are no restrictions on how often you can enter and clear a Mythic+ dungeon, and there’s no limit on the number of rewards that you can potentially obtain. However, the quality of loot changes.
How Mythic+ Loot Works
While you can run Mythic+ dungeons repeatedly, you only receive loot from the end-of-dungeon chest. The level of gear you receive from the chest increases with the keystone level. Successfully completing a Mythic+ key will also upgrade your mythic+ rating.
The Great Vault
Another crucial piece of the puzzle is the Great Vault. Based on your Mythic+ dungeon completions in the prior week, you will receive reward choices from the Great Vault every week. This is another method of obtaining high-level gear, including items that are at a higher item level than what you could obtain in the dungeon itself.
Key Downgrades and Rerolling
If you fail to complete a Mythic+ dungeon within the timer, or the player who used the keystone leaves the group, the keystone will downgrade. You will receive a keystone for a different dungeon at a level one lower than the key you used. The key can also be rerolled if you complete the dungeon on the timer. This makes the experience not only challenging but engaging and encourages repeat runs of different keys to pursue specific loot and improved mythic+ ratings.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. Can I get gear from Mythic+ more than once?
Yes! Unlike Mythic 0 dungeons, Mythic+ dungeons have no loot lockout. You can complete them repeatedly for a chance at gear from the end-of-dungeon chest. The loot is not a guaranteed drop every single time but you have the opportunity to run the same dungeon again and again with no lockout on loot.
2. Do Mythic dungeons reset daily?
No, Mythic dungeons (Mythic 0) reset weekly, not daily. This reset occurs at the same time as the weekly reset for other content. Mythic+ dungeons do not have a reset.
3. How do I get a high Mythic+ score?
To achieve a high Mythic+ score, such as 2000 or 2500, you need to complete all dungeons in the Mythic pool at high key levels, usually +15 or higher on both Fortified and Tyrannical weeks. The score is based on your best completion for each dungeon, not the number of dungeons you complete.
4. What ilvl gear drops from a Mythic+20?
Completing a Mythic+20 can reward you with a chance to loot 431 ilvl gear at the end of the dungeon and a 447 ilvl reward from the Great Vault.
5. Is 2000 Mythic+ Rating considered good?
Yes, a 2000+ Mythic+ rating is considered good, signifying a solid understanding of Mythic+ dungeons and your character’s role within them. It is a good milestone to aim for.
6. What happens if I don’t finish a Mythic+ in time?
If you don’t complete a Mythic+ within the timer, or the keystone holder leaves the dungeon, your key will downgrade to a random dungeon at a level lower than the one used, you will still receive the same loot from the end of the dungeon chest.
7. Can I farm Mythic 0 dungeons?
No, you cannot farm Mythic 0 dungeons. They have a weekly lockout and you can only get loot from each boss once per week.
8. How do Mythic raid lockouts work?
Mythic raid lockouts are ID-based. If you join a Mythic raid and defeat a boss, you are bound to that Mythic raid ID. If you want to raid with another group, you cannot get loot from any bosses that were killed by your initial group. This lockout is separate from mythic dungeon lockouts.
9. Can I have more than one Mythic item?
A player can only equip one Mythic item at a time. Additionally, buying a Mythic item can restrict which Mythic components you can buy, and vice-versa.
10. Can you spam Mythic+ dungeons?
Yes, you can spam Mythic+ dungeons. They have no lockout for loot purposes, although loot is not guaranteed every run. You can repeat them as often as you like.
11. How do I get Mythic+ Keys?
You can obtain a Mythic+ Keystone through these methods: looting your Great Vault, completing a Mythic+ dungeon, or completing a non-keystone Dragon Isles Mythic dungeon.
12. Can I reroll my Mythic+ key?
Yes, you can. If you successfully complete a Mythic+ dungeon on the timer, you will have the option to reroll the key into a different dungeon from an NPC at the end of the run.
13. What level should I be for Mythic+?
This varies based on skill, but it is generally recommended to have an ilvl of 340+, with the average player doing well at 350-360 for the higher Mythic+ dungeons.
14. Can my Mythic+ score decrease?
No, your Mythic+ score will never decrease. The system only records your best attempt for each dungeon, and therefore your score can only improve.
15. Is Mythic 0 harder than Heroic?
Yes, Mythic 0 is more difficult than Heroic. It requires better coordination and preparation, but it rewards better loot and can serve as the stepping stone into higher forms of end game content.
