The maximum level for loot attainable from a Mythic+ dungeon is tied to a Mythic +20 run. While you can technically complete higher level keys, the item level (ilvl) of the gear that drops from the end-of-dungeon chest and from the Great Vault is capped. Specifically, completing a Mythic +20 dungeon will reward you with a 431 ilvl item from the chest and the potential for a 447 ilvl item from the Great Vault at the weekly reset. It’s essential to understand that while you might encounter higher level Mythic+ keys, the power of the gear itself doesn’t increase past the +20 threshold, making Mythic +20 the ultimate level to target for maximum item level rewards.
Understanding Mythic+ Progression
Mythic Keystones and Scaling
Mythic+ dungeons utilize keystones that determine the difficulty and reward level. These keystones start at +2, and each increase in the level significantly boosts enemy damage and health. Unlike standard Mythic 0 dungeons, which have a weekly lockout, Mythic+ dungeons are designed for repeatable runs to chase higher item levels and better gear.
The Importance of the Great Vault
The Great Vault provides a weekly reward based on the highest level Mythic+ dungeon you completed. The loot from the Great Vault is always higher than the end-of-dungeon loot, and at the highest level (+20) provides the 447 ilvl gear, making it a cornerstone for gearing up your character.
Mythic+ Rating
Mythic+ Rating is a score that increases as you complete Mythic+ dungeons, reflecting your proficiency in completing various levels and with different affixes. This rating is crucial for finding groups and participating in higher-level content. Your score will never go down, only potentially not go up, making it a safe way to track progression and demonstrate your experience in Mythic+ dungeons.
Mythic+ Gear and Item Level
End-of-Dungeon Loot
The chest at the end of a Mythic+ dungeon will always provide a piece of loot. This loot is determined by the level of the key you have completed. At Mythic +20, the loot is capped at 431 ilvl.
Great Vault Loot
The Great Vault provides a selection of items based on the number of Mythic+ dungeons you complete and the highest key level you achieved that week. For a +20, you receive a 447 ilvl item, which is the maximum achievable ilvl from Mythic+ content.
Upgrading Mythic Gear
While Mythic+ gear doesn’t directly upgrade with Mythic+ runs, you can upgrade it using other resources such as Aspect’s Shadowflame Crest Fragments. This allows you to increase the power of your gear, even after reaching the maximum item level. However, note that gear dropped from Mythic raids can be upgraded to 447 ilvl.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What is the difference between Mythic 0 and Mythic+ dungeons?
Mythic 0 dungeons are base-level mythic difficulty dungeons with a weekly lockout. Mythic+ dungeons use keystones, have no lockout, and scale in difficulty. They have a timed component with increasingly challenging modifiers, or affixes.

A **+2 Mythic+** dungeon is the lowest level **Mythic+ dungeon**. It is the starting point for progression and has a smaller increase in enemy damage and health compared to higher key levels.

7. What item level do I need for Mythic 15?
While there are no official item level requirements, most players recommend an ilvl of at least **398** for a **+15**. The gear you can obtain from **Mythic 15** itself ranges from **408 to 431 ilvl**, while the **Great Vault** will provide items between **408 to 447 ilvl**.
8. What ilvl gear does Mythic 20 drop?

Affixes are additional modifiers applied to Mythic+ dungeons that increase the challenge. They change on a weekly basis and include things like increased enemy health, damage, or special abilities.
