The Mythic+ scene is getting more close-knit as Raider.IO has acquired Keystone.Guru! This partnership will bring new and helpful tools for the M+ community, and has in fact already done so. The Auto Route Creator allows players to, well, auto-create a route from dungeons that they've finished. These routes can then be shared or kept private and improved upon. You can read more about the feature here, but it's still in Closed Beta and available only to Raider.IO Patrons.

 

Meanwhile, here's the full press release on the acquisition itself:

RAIDER.IO ANNOUNCES ACQUISITION OF KEYSTONE.GURU TO ENHANCE WORLD OF WARCRAFT’S MYTHIC+ DUNGEON EXPERIENCE

Integrating data, features, and services for the World of Warcraft community

 

TEXAS, July 21, 2023 – Raider.IO is pleased to announce the acquisition of Keystone.Guru, a website and Mythic+ dungeon route creation platform. The acquisition was finalized on the morning of Friday, July 21st, 2023. 

Raider.IO was founded in 2017, and has quickly become the premiere platform for PVE players of World of Warcraft, one of the longest-running and most successful MMORPG games in the world. The Raider.IO suite of products and services includes a website, an in-game addon, and a desktop client, through which hundreds of millions of hours of Mythic+ dungeons and raids are tracked.

Raider.IO has become an integral part of the Race to World First, the largest and most popular live-streamed event in World of Warcraft, and provides high-quality global coverage of the competition, as well as data services and logistics to productions and teams.

A proud member of the World of Warcraft community, Raider.IO is heavily involved in hosting and supporting multiple community-led events and tournaments, and creating original content. Raider.IO also proudly works hand-in-hand with the Blizzard Esports team on all MDI and TGP competitions. A true community hub, Raider.IO has become a household name for World of Warcraft players.


Keystone.Guru offers the ability to create, share and discover new routes for World of Warcraft dungeons and raids. Work together with your Mythic+ team and build routes together using live synchronization. Full MDT import/export integration makes getting started easy and risk-free.

Created from a need to coordinate Mythic+ strategy and routing better between friends, and to give back to the community which has given us so much, Keystone.Guru has grown from a simple web page to a fully-fledged platform with many community-requested features and tools to make your Mythic+ runs a success. The website's code and development is fully open-sourced on Github, so you can easily follow along with current development and give your own feedback to make the site even better.

The acquisition is intended to bring Keystone.Guru under the umbrella of Raider.IO, providing a way to collaborate on features much more closely. This will allow for continued creation of new tools and services for players of World of Warcraft under both the Keystone.Guru and Raider.IO banners. 

To coincide with the acquisition, both Raider.IO and Keystone.Guru are thrilled to announce the launch of a brand-new feature, the Auto Route Creator! This is an exciting new feature that allows users to automatically generate a detailed Keystone.Guru route directly on the Raider.IO website from any completed Mythic+ dungeon live-tracked via the Raider.IO Desktop Client. Gone are the days of meticulously inputting every pull - now you can automatically generate a route from a dungeon you, or anybody else, has completed! Take routes directly from the top of the leaderboards, find ones with your exact group composition, and so much more. 

With Keystone.Guru becoming a part of the Raider.IO suite of products and services, you can expect even more exciting features like the Auto Route Creator in the future!

 

From Raider.IO Founder and CEO, Jah:

I've long admired the innovative work that Wotuu has done on Keystone.Guru. It aligns perfectly with Raider.IO's core mission of enhancing the World of Warcraft experience with practical tools and valuable data. This acquisition marks a significant stride in our journey and opens up exciting opportunities. We're eager to work more closely with Wotuu to build upon Keystone.Guru's potential and look forward to unveiling several upcoming features to the community soon!
 

From Keystone.Guru Developer, Wotuu: 

I've worked with Jah and the Raider.IO team for a long time now for the Weekly Route and Play Like the Pros series. Our collaboration has been a great source of feedback to continuously improve Keystone.Guru. Our shared drive to make our respective websites better makes us great partners. When approached by Jah to join the Raider.IO family, I immediately knew this was a great next step and opportunity to amplify both Raider.IO and Keystone.Guru to levels not possible before. Keystone.Guru has grown from a simple hobby project to a cornerstone of the World of Warcraft community and the joining of forces with Raider.IO solidifies this. There are many exciting projects coming up together with Raider.IO for which I'm so excited, and I can't wait to share them with the community.

      Weekly Awakened Cache Drops Item Level 250 Gear for Some
      By Stan
      Due to a bug introduced with the War Within pre-patch, some players are receiving item level 250 gear from the weekly cache.
      We've seen numerous reports on Reddit and the official forums that the Last Hurrah weekly quest on live servers drop low-level gear for some players. Apparently, the bug was first introduced with the War Within pre-patch two weeks ago and still hasn't been fixed.
      Here's an example of a low item level drop from the Cache of Awakened Treasures by Omnifox.

      War Within Pre-Patch Mythic+ DPS, Tank and Healer Log Rankings: Week 2
      By Starym
      Week 2 brings quite a few changes, as Hunters in particular rise up, while Shadow has a really bad time. The top 3 remains the same and very consistent, so let's jump in and see what's going on.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top 3 remains quite stable with the Evoker-Paladin-Warrior trio reigning supreme. We see the first change of the week right after that though, as Frost DK continues its upward march in dungeons as well as in raids, taking 4th from Elemental. Both DKs are on the rise, as Unholy also moves a spot up, taking advantage of Shadow's precipitous 5-spot fall to the bottom of the top 10. Arms remains stable as two Hunters burst in, Beast Mastery taking 8th and Marksmanship 9th, as Frost Mage disappears down towards the bottom. Speaking of the bottom, Devastation gets some new roommates there, as Outlaw and Destruction fall and give Enhancement and Feral a break.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      As with the top percentiles, the top 3 remains solid, but 4th is immediately changed, thanks to Shadow's massive drop in performance this week. The Priest loses even more ground here, falling 9 spots into 13th, opening 4th up for Arms. Beast Mastery moves even higher here, grabbing 5th and moving in front of Elemental and Frost DK, as Marksmanship brings up the rear and completes the Hunter sandwich in 8th. Affliction breaks into the top 10, just ahead of Unholy which dropped to the final spot.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      Frost DK finds itself on top in the raw DPS rankings, as Augmentation isn't calculated properly here. Fury and Arms grab the next two spots, moving ahead of Ret, and the Fyr'alath wins continue in 5th, where Unholy finished the legendary axe streak. Even Survival joins the Hunter good times in 8th, where all three specs gather, just ahead of Balance who closes out the top 10.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      MoP Remix Characters Will Transfer with a Gear Boost
      By Stan
      MoP Remix characters that will transfer over to retail will receive a gear boost!
      With Patch 11.0.2 now live on Public Test Realms, you can copy over MoP Remix characters from retail! It appears all MoP Remix characters will receive a character boost so you can dive straight into action when the War Within expansion launches.

      We can't unfortunately log in to the game with the MoP Remix char on the PTR so we can't confirm the Item Level of gear for max level characters. However, keep in mind that the gear boost will scale with your level, so if you're below max cap, you will receive gear appropriate to your current level.
      When Can We Expect MoP Remix Characters to Transfer to Retail?
      MoP Remix ends on August 19, so we assume the characters will need to be transferred to retail by August 22 when Early Access begins.
