Bonus valor refers to the additional valor points earned by players in Mythic+ dungeons when they complete a dungeon at a higher keystone level than their current Mythic+ rating, or when they complete a dungeon quicker than their previous attempt at the same keystone level, thereby increasing their Mythic+ rating. This bonus valor is a reward for pushing beyond the player’s current capabilities and achieving a higher level of performance in the Mythic+ dungeon.
Understanding Bonus Valor
Earning Bonus Valor
To earn bonus valor, players must participate in Mythic+ dungeons and achieve a higher keystone level or a faster completion time than their current Mythic+ rating. This can be done by completing a dungeon at a higher keystone level or by completing a dungeon at the same keystone level but with a faster completion time.
