The highest Item Level (Ilvl) gear obtainable directly from completing a Mythic+ dungeon is 431. This is awarded at the end of the dungeon from the Challenger’s Cache (the chest) at a Mythic+20 level. However, the Great Vault provides an opportunity to acquire even higher Ilvl gear. By completing Mythic+ content, the Great Vault can reward items up to Ilvl 447. This makes the Great Vault a crucial part of any player’s gear progression strategy, and will reward the higher item level based on the highest level of mythic+ run done during the week.
Understanding Item Level Progression in Mythic+
Mythic+ Dungeon Rewards
The item level of gear from a Mythic+ dungeon increases with the difficulty of the key. For example, lower level mythic+ runs will drop item levels around 390-400. At lower mythic+ levels gear ranges from 390 to 420 or so, and it’s recommended that you are around a 398 item level to complete low mythic + keys (+2 – +5), or 402+ for tanks and healers. As you increase your Mythic+ key level, so does the item level rewarded at the end of the dungeon, culminating in the 431 Ilvl cap at Mythic+20.
Great Vault Rewards
The Great Vault is a weekly reward system that allows players to choose one item from a selection of gear based on their performance during the previous week. The higher the level of Mythic+ dungeons completed during the week, the better the rewards. The maximum item level of rewards from the Great Vault from mythic+ is currently 447. This is the highest Ilvl you can get from Mythic+ content. This system encourages players to run multiple keys, aiming for higher levels, and is a major avenue for obtaining better gear, especially at higher levels, so if you run mythic +16, you will get an item from the great vault of item level 447.
Mythic+ Item Level Progression Breakdown
Starting Points and Recommendations
- Lower Mythic+ Levels ( +2 to +5): A starting Ilvl of 398 is generally sufficient for damage dealers. Tanks and healers may want to aim for 402+. At this level you will see gear between 390-410 and so on.
- Mid-Range Mythic+ Levels (+10 to +15): At this stage, you can expect to see gear around 415 Ilvl from the chest after completion, and 447 from the great vault if your highest completion was a 16+. If you are planning to run 10+ consistently you need to be in a good spot on your ilvl, around 410-420 or so.
- Higher Mythic+ Levels (+16 to +20): At this difficulty, you will receive the maximum gear item level possible from the end-of-dungeon chest: 431. You will also receive 447 from the great vault if you ran a 16+ or higher.
- Mythic + 20 and Beyond: Although Mythic+ dungeons can be pushed beyond +20 for rating, the highest item level of 431 is still awarded at the end of the run, and 447 is still the cap for the great vault. There is no higher reward for pushing beyond the +20.
The Role of the Great Vault
The Great Vault is a critical component for obtaining the highest item level gear. It is not tied to the completion of the key level. For example, completing the highest key each week will reward the highest reward available. Completing a +16, +18, or +20 during the week, will all provide Ilvl 447 gear from the Great Vault at the end of the week. The highest item level is awarded based on the highest level key completed, making it necessary to push for higher key levels each week to maximize loot.

Yes, Mythic+ gear can be upgraded using Valor Points. You earn 135 valor points per run, and 65 bonus valor points if a player has their rating increased. However, there is a cap on how much Valor you can earn.
5. What is the easiest Mythic+ dungeon in Dragonflight?
Many players consider Shadowmoon Burial Grounds to be one of the easiest Mythic+ dungeons due to its layout and lower number of bosses.
6. How much DPS should I do in Mythic+?
A good amount of DPS depends on your class, spec, and gear. A rough benchmark would be around 30-45k overall. The most important thing is that people die due to their own errors and not the lack of healing and dps.
7. How do I get a 2500 Mythic+ rating?
To achieve a 2500 Mythic+ rating, you need to time high level keys, usually around the +17 and +18 level. Another route is defeating Scalecommander Sarkareth on Mythic Difficulty, but this is not possible for most players.
8. Can I get Tier Set pieces from Mythic+?
Yes, you can get Tier Set pieces from Mythic+, but the drop chance is quite low. Tier pieces tend to drop more frequently from raids, especially boss drops.
9. Can I run the same Mythic+ dungeon multiple times?
Mythic+ dungeons have no lockouts. As long as one person has a key, you can run the same dungeon as many times as you want.
10. How do I get 402 item level gear?
You can obtain 402 item level gear by completing quests for the Loamm Niffen faction in Zaralek Cavern, or from completing Mythic+ dungeons. You can upgrade that gear to 424 as well.
11. Can I do Mythic 0 more than once a week?
You cannot re-do Mythic 0 dungeons more than once per week for loot. They are subject to weekly lockouts, just like regular mythic dungeons.
12. Can you buy Mythic Gear?
While you can obtain Mythic gear from the Guild Shop or events, this is not the most efficient way. These do not come up very frequently, so the best route is mythic dungeons.
13. How high does Mythic+ go?
While Mythic+ dungeons can be completed at any level and there is no cap, the rewards for loot stop increasing at +20, this is the highest item level gear you can obtain.
14. What is the 0.1% Mythic+ title?
The 0.1% Mythic+ title is awarded to the top 0.1% of Mythic+ players in each region. This requires a very high score, in some cases around 3150+.
15. Can you have multiple Mythic items?
A player can typically only have 1 Mythic item at a time. Acquiring a Mythic item can prevent you from purchasing others, and vice versa.

The highest item level gear from Mythic+ dungeons is 431, dropping from the end of a Mythic+20 run. The Great Vault is the primary way to obtain 447 Ilvl gear, and will do so when you complete a mythic+ key of +16 or higher. Understanding the progression and reward system of Mythic+ dungeons is crucial for gear progression. By running dungeons consistently and pushing for higher key levels, you can maximize your gear potential in World of Warcraft: Dragonflight, and improve your character drastically.
