Mythic+ Dungeons in Midnight

Mythic+ Dungeons in Midnight are just regular dungeons divided into so-called Keystone levels or “Keys” for short. They have increasingly higher difficulty, starting from +0 Key, which is the easiest (but still much harder than Heroic dungeons), all the way up to +20 Keys and above. This threshold will be challenging even for the most well-geared, coordinated, and dedicated groups. To prepare in advance, you might want to check out our WoW gearing guide to find out more about the existing gear and how to get.

How to Unlock Mythic+ Dungeons in Midnight

To unlock Mythic+ Dungeons in WoW Midnight, you need to have a Mythic+ Keystone in your inventory. Once you have entered the dungeon and selected Mythic difficulty, you will need to place your Keystone into the special mechanism at the dungeon’s entrance called Font of Power.

After you place your Keystone into the Font of Power, you will see the difficulty and all current weekly affixes. To upgrade your Keystone further, you will need to complete a Mythic+ dungeon to receive another random dungeon’s Keystone. If you fail to complete the dungeon for some reason or do not manage to make it within the timer, your Keystone level will be lowered by 1. Such a system creates a serious challenge for players. To get to higher keys and thus better rewards, you will need to master your class and specialization really well. This journey will not be easy!

Midnight Season 1 Mythic+ Dungeon Pool

As usual, not all dungeons from the actual content are presented in the Mythic Plus pool. The developers always put some old dungeons in the rotation. This creates a good opportunity for players to see what some of the content of the previous expansions was like. Below, you will find the list of dungeons available in Midnight Season 1 Mythic+ Dungeon pool:

• Magister's Terrace
• Maisara Caverns
• Nexus Point Xenas
• Windrunner Spire
• Algeth'ar Academy
• Seat of the Triumvirate
• Skyreach
• Pit of Saron

The WoW Mythic+ Dungeon rotation for Season 1 you see consists of 8 dungeons. There are completely new dungeons called Magister's Terrace, Maisara Caverns, Nexus Point Xenas, and Windrunner Spire arriving this season. As always, we've got some others returning from older expansions, such as Dragonflight, Legion, and more.

Mythic+ Midnight Pre-Patch Recommended Item Level

For Midnight Mythic+ pre-patch, a recommended item level would be at least 115 or higher. The more, the better, but having 115+ ilvl gear as a DPS should be enough for the very start at +2 Keystone level.

The numbers of Mythic+ Dungeons ilvl in Midnight are averaged. The success in a particular M+ Dungeon mainly depends on your DPS and Tank. Having a well-coordinated party can help you clear the instance even if your gear is 20 item levels below the recommended.

Mythic+ Loot Table

When it comes to Mythic+ loot table, things are pretty straightforward. Mythic+ gear scale is designed so that the more difficult Keystone you have completed, the better your rewards will be. Note that in pre-patch, the WoW Midnight Mythic Plus loot pool was redesigned, and now looks like this:

You can keep progressing above +12 Key if you wish to test your skills. However, you will not get better rewards for this, as there is a particular ilvl cap during the pre-patch. As for the Great Vault, we have a separate guide on this system that you can read to learn more.

Mythic+ Affixes

Affixes are what differentiate Mythic+ from regular 5-player dungeons. These are special effects that make enemies in dungeons stronger and have unusual effects on them or players. Quite obviously, this alone makes dungeons significantly more difficult. With the start of the Midnight pre-patch, we have received a new range of Mythic+ affixes. Along with that, some of the old ones are retired for the pre-patch of Midnight.

The introduction of new affixes will bring positive effects that offer bonuses for different types of damage each week. These beneficial effects are designed to provide advantages without being crucial for dungeon completion, encouraging players to make diverse gameplay choices. One of the latest affixes, Xal’atath’s Bargain, is a clear example of this concept. To cope with any of the affixes, you want to make sure you're playing the best WoW class in the current meta. Our tier list is always updated to make sure you're ahead of others. BLOG20

New Mythic+ Affixes in Midnight

The following new Mythic+ affixes will be added when WoW Midnight Season 1 Mythic Dungeons start:

• Lindormi’s Guidance – While Lindormi’s Guidance is active, certain non-boss enemies will be afflicted with Temporal Sands, visually highlighting them and reducing their health and damage done by 5%. Defeating these marked enemies will fulfill 100% of the Enemy Forces count, providing a basic route through the dungeon. Additionally, the affix also prevents player deaths from reducing the timer.

Retired Mythic+ Affixes

Continuing our WoW Mythic guide, let’s take a closer look at the retired Mythic+ affixes:

• Afflicted
• Entangling
• Incorporeal
• Storming
• Volcanic
• Spiteful
• Bolstering
• Raging
• Sanguine
• Bursting
• Challenger's Peril

Depending on the community’s feedback, the developers might return them in the future.

Mythic+ Season 1 Rewards

By participating in Mythic+ Season 1, you can obtain a range of rewards and achievements. The developers did their best to make Mythic+ Dungeons a kind of competitive discipline by adding a built-in scoring system similar to the PvP scoring system. Every completed dungeon will award you with some Mythic Score points based on Keystone difficulty and whether you manage to complete the dungeon within the timer or not.

1. Midnight Keystone Explorer: Season One – This is the first step in the Mythic+ achievements ladder. It requires only a 750 Mythic Score, so it is relatively easy to achieve.
2. Midnight Keystone Conqueror: Season One – This one is a little harder, requiring a 1500+ Mythic Score. So, fighting your way through both M+ Dungeons on at least +5 difficulty seems pretty much inevitable.
3. Midnight Keystone Master: Season One – This is where things get serious. This achievement requires you to have at least a 2000+ Mythic Score, which is not a trivial task.
4. Midnight Keystone Hero: Season One – Only a comparably small percentage of players will ever be able to achieve this, since it is an incredibly difficult challenge. You will need to have at least a 2500 Mythic Score, meaning you need to play with some of the best PvE players in the game.
5. Umbral Hero: Midnight Season One – Complete Midnight Mythic+ Season 1 with a Mythic+ score that ranks within the top 0.1% of players in your region.

Keystone Hero Achievements in Season 1

The developers have also introduced a variety of Keystone Hero achievements you can earn for completing Mythic Dungeons +10 or higher. During the entire Midnight Season 1, they play a vital role for any M+ fans. They allow you to teleport to the specific dungeon’s entrance swiftly. It is in your best interest to try to collect them all. They will also be available for your entire band, thanks to the Warbands system.
