How Often Can You Get Loot from Mythic Plus in World of Warcraft?
The short answer is: You can get loot from Mythic Plus dungeons as often as you complete them. Unlike Mythic 0 dungeons which have a weekly lockout, Mythic Plus dungeons have no lockout. This means you can continuously run them and potentially receive loot each time you successfully complete a run, provided a Mythic Keystone is used. However, the distribution of loot is not guaranteed, and whether you receive an item will depend on a few factors. This article will explore the nuances of Mythic Plus loot, how it works, and address frequently asked questions about this system in World of Warcraft: Dragonflight.
Understanding Mythic Plus Loot Mechanics
No Weekly Lockouts
The cornerstone of the Mythic Plus system is its lack of lockouts. This allows players to grind these challenging dungeons for gear and other rewards, such as Mythic+ score, as often as they like. This contrasts sharply with the once-per-week lockout on Mythic 0 dungeons, which are considered the base, easier version of their Mythic+ counterparts.
How Loot is Distributed
- Random Allocation: At the end of a Mythic Plus dungeon, 2 items are awarded to the party. These items are randomly assigned to party members, not guaranteed to every member.
- No Bad Luck Protection: There is no bad luck protection mechanism in place for Mythic Plus loot. This means you might receive gear in multiple consecutive runs, or experience several runs without any loot dropping for you.
- Item Level Scaling: The item level of the loot you receive is tied to the level of the Mythic Keystone used for that run. Higher key levels result in higher item-level gear. The highest obtainable item level is based on the dungeon level run.
- Timer Matters: If you fail to complete the dungeon within the timer, the second item rewarded will be of a lower item level, by one M+ rank.
- Bonus Items: On keys higher than +15, there is a 40% chance per key level for an additional item to drop. This can go past 100%, meaning that a +20 key will always drop 4 items.
Tier Set Pieces
You can get Tier Set pieces from Mythic Plus. These pieces have a very low drop chance, estimated to be only a few percent. These set pieces can be particularly desirable for players looking to enhance their class-specific abilities. The item level of Tier Set pieces is dependent on the Mythic+ level completed. For example, a Mythic +10 can drop 265 ilevel tier set pieces and Mythic +15 will drop 278 item level gear.
Mythic Item Limit
A player can only have 1 Mythic item equipped at any given time. This limit extends to purchasing Mythic items from vendors. Buying a Mythic item can also prevent a player from purchasing a Mythic Component and vice-versa. This is important when looking to get the highest level gear possible.
