The War Within Mythic+ Guide

With the start of The War Within Season 2, you can expect major updates concerning Mythic+ Dungeons. In our WoW Mythic+ guide, we will go over all the new changes, including the updated Dungeon pool, affixes, and other important details. We’ve gathered everything you need to know to get off to a great start in the latest expansion.

When Does Mythic+ Start in The War Within Season 2?

You can start testing your skills in Mythic+ dungeons beginning March 4, 2025.

Mythic+ Dungeons in The War Within

Mythic+ Dungeons in The War Within are essentially regular dungeons that are divided into Keystone levels, also known as “Keys.” They get progressively harder, starting from +0 Keys (the easiest, though still much tougher than Heroic dungeons) to +20 Keys and beyond. These high-level dungeons will be challenging even for the most geared, coordinated, and skilled groups. To prepare, check out our WoW gearing guide for insights into how to acquire the best gear.

How to Unlock Mythic+ Dungeons in WoW The War Within

To unlock Mythic+ Dungeons in WoW The War Within, you must first obtain a Mythic+ Keystone. Once you enter the dungeon and select the Mythic difficulty, insert your Keystone into the Font of Power at the dungeon’s entrance. After this, you will be able to see the difficulty and weekly affixes. Completing a Mythic+ dungeon will grant you another Keystone for a random dungeon. If you fail to finish the dungeon or miss the timer, your Keystone level will drop by 1.

This system poses a real challenge for players. To climb higher in Keystone levels and earn better rewards, you will need to master your class and specialization. The journey to success won’t be easy!

The War Within Season 2 Mythic+ Dungeon Pool

As always, not all dungeons from the current content are included in the Mythic Plus pool. The developers regularly rotate in older dungeons, giving players a chance to experience content from previous expansions. Below is the list of dungeons available in The War Within Season 2 Mythic+ Dungeon pool:

• Operation: Floodgate
• Cinderbrew Meadery
• Darkflame Cleft
• The Rookery
• Priory of the Sacred Flame
• The MOTHERLODE!!

This season introduces a new dungeon, Operation: Floodgate. In addition, several dungeons were added with TWW, and others return from previous expansions such as BfA and Shadowlands.

Mythic+ Season 2 Recommended Item Level

For The War Within Mythic+ Season 2, a recommended item level is at least 616 or higher. A DPS with 616+ ilvl gear should be well-equipped for starting at the +2 Keystone level. If you have higher item levels, the journey will be easier, but 616+ should be sufficient for early-stage dungeons.

The ilvl requirements for Mythic+ dungeons in The War Within are averaged. Success in a dungeon mainly depends on your DPS and Tank. A well-coordinated group can often complete dungeons even if your gear is 20 levels below the recommended level.

Mythic+ Loot Table

The Mythic+ loot system is straightforward. The harder the Keystone, the better the rewards you will earn. In Season 2, the Mythic+ loot pool was redesigned as follows:

Keystone Level	Dungeon Gear ilvl	Great Vault Reward ilvl
Mythic +2	639	649
Mythic +3	639	649
Mythic +4	642	652
Mythic +5	645	652
Mythic +6	649	655
Mythic +7	649	658
Mythic +8	652	658
Mythic +9	652	658
Mythic +10	655	662
Mythic +11	655	662
Mythic +12	655	662

You can continue progressing beyond +12 Keystones if you want to keep testing your abilities. However, you won’t receive better rewards after hitting the ilvl cap for the season. For more details, you can refer to our guide on the Great Vault system.

Mythic+ Affixes

Affixes are the key feature that makes Mythic+ dungeons different from regular dungeons. These special modifiers increase the difficulty by enhancing enemies or adding unique effects that affect both the players and the dungeons. This makes dungeons much more difficult than standard runs.

With the launch of The War Within Season 2, there is a fresh batch of Mythic+ affixes, while some older ones have been retired for this season.

Keystone Level	Affix
+4	Xal'atath's Bargain: Ascendant Xal'atath's Bargain: Voidbound Xal'atath's Bargain: Pulsar Xal'atath's Bargain: Devour
+7	Tyrannical or Fortified, replacing one another on a weekly basis
+10	Tyrannical or Fortified, both are active simultaneously
+12	Xal'atath's Guile

New Mythic+ Affixes

Here are the new affixes introduced during WoW Season 1 for Mythic+ Dungeons:

• Reckless – Non-boss enemies without mana hit harder, ignoring 20% of your armor. However, they are 30% less armored and take 10% more damage from Arcane attacks.
• Thorned – Non-mana-using enemies strike back when hit, dealing physical damage. They take 10% more damage from Holy and Shadow attacks.
• Attuned – Mana-wielding enemies deal 20% more magic damage but are vulnerable to 10% more Nature damage and 30% more Bleed effects.
• Focused – Mana-based enemies gain 30% more Haste, increasing their attack and casting speed. However, they also take 10% more damage from Frost and Fire attacks.

• Afflicted
