Mythic Keystone Dungeon and Raid Changes in Patch 9.0.5

• The formula for determining the level of the first Mythic Keystone players receive each week has been adjusted.
• Previously, players would always receive a Keystone 1 level below the highest they had completed so far in Season 1.
• After this change, if you finish a Mythic Keystone dungeon in time during the week, the next week’s Great Vault will contain a Keystone of that same level.
• For example, if your highest Mythic Keystone completion during week one is a +15 that you completed in time, you will get another +15 Keystone from the Great Vault to start week two. If you run that +15 during week two and fail to meet the timer, however, and complete no other +15 (or higher) Mythic Keystone dungeons the rest of week two, you will receive a +14 Keystone from the Great Vault to start week three.

You will find more information in our Shadowlands dungeon hub.
