Shadowlands Mythic+ Season 4 Overview (9.2.5)

Shadowlands Season 4 starts on August 2, 2022. It is expected to end with the prepatch for the upcoming Dragonflight expansion, due out by the end of 2022.

• Dungeon item level rewards are increased by 26, including loot from Normal, Heroic, Mythic, and Mythic+. This also applies to rewards chosen from the weekly Great Vault;
• A new Mythic+ seasonal affix — Shrouded;
• No Valor cap from the start of the season;
• A refresh of the Mythic+ dungeon pool, featuring 8 total dungeons from the Shadowlands, Battle for Azeroth, Legion, and Warlords of Draenor expansions;
• As there are only 8 dungeons in the Mythic+ pool compared to 10 in Shadowlands Mythic+ Season 3, the score requirements for various achievements are reduced:
  • Shadowlands Keystone Explorer: Season Four requires a Mythic+ Rating of at least 750 in Season 4 (was 900).
  • Shadowlands Keystone Conqueror: Season Four requires a Mythic+ Rating of at least 1,500 in Season 4 (was 1,850).
  • Shadowlands Keystone Master: Season Four requires a Mythic+ Rating of at least 2,000 (was 2,500).
• A new variant of the Deathwalker mount is available ( Restoration Deathwalker) to be earned.
• A new title — "Shrouded Hero" — is up for grabs for the elite few players who will earn Shrouded Hero: Shadowlands Season 4 at the end of the season.
• The Vessel of Profound Possibilities no longer requires any extra achievements to be purchased on a character, instead requiring 10,000 Cosmic Flux.

The Great Vault in Shadowlands requires you to clear a certain number of Mythic+ dungeons per week to receive items in the Dungeons category. You can find more details about the Great Vault and the requirements in our separate guide.

The new Mythic Affix that will be active in all +10 or higher runs in Season 4 is called Shrouded — Nathrezim infiltrators have disguised themselves among enemies throughout the dungeon. Cartel Ta will reward you handsomely for assisting in their capture.

For a detailed guide on Mythic+ Affixes and what they do, please refer to our Mythic+ Affix Guide.

Valor will again be reset to 0 with the beginning of Season 4, with you once again being able to upgrade Mythic Dungeon Gear with Valor. However, compared to previous seasons, in Season 4 there is no weekly cap to Valor, allowing you to obtain as much as you want right from the start!

You will find more information about Valor in our separate guide linked below.

Ta'hsup in the Hall of Holding in Oribos can offer a Keystone to players who do not have one, as long as they have completed at least 1 Shadowlands dungeon on Mythic+ difficulty.

Ta'hsup will also spawn at the end of Mythic+ dungeons that are completed before the time limit is reached. He will offer a one-time Keystone exchange to any player whose current Keystone is at or below the level of the dungeon that was recently completed on time. Keystones that are higher level than the dungeon that was recently completed on time cannot be traded, including the Keystone that was used to start the run.

Additionally, Ta'hsup in Oribos will also deplete your Keystone as many times as you would like, so you do not need to continuously leave and reset instances to deplete your Keystone.

Patch 9.1 introduced a way for players to gauge their success and preparation to take on the challenges found in Mythic+ dungeons — the Mythic Scoring System.

You can view your personal Mythic+ Rating within the Group Finder (I) UI under the Mythic Dungeons tab. Hovering your mouse over the center Dungeon rating will bring up a tooltip that explains more about your rating and how to improve it.

Your rating increases each time you run a dungeon you have not completed before or when you beat your own best time in a dungeon you have already completed. Completing a key provides a rating based on two main factors — the level of the key and the run's time compared to the dungeon's timer. With each Season, Mythic+ Ratings are reset in the display.

You can find more information about the Mythic scoring system in our dedicated guide.

Shadowlands Keystone Conqueror: Season Four requires you to attain a Mythic+ Rating of at least 1,500 during Season 4 and rewards the Shrouded title.

To earn Shadowlands Keystone Master: Season Four, and receive the Restoration Deathwalker, you must attain a Mythic+ Rating of at least 2,000 during Shadowlands Season 4. The mount is a final recolor of the Deathwalker mount.

Completing Season 4 dungeons at Mythic Level 20 or higher within the time limit also rewards dungeon teleports in Season 4.

• Keystone Hero: Iron Docks — Rewards Teleport to the Iron Docks (identical to the Path of the Iron Prow from Warlords of Draenor's Challenge Modes).
• Keystone Hero: Grimrail Depot — Rewards Teleport to Grimrail Depot (identical to the Path of the Dark Rail from Warlords of Draenor's Challenge Modes).
• Keystone Hero: Return to Karazhan — Rewards Teleport to Karazhan ( Path of the Fallen Guardian). Note that you must successfully time both Return to Karazhan: Upper and Return to Karazhan: Lower for this teleport.
• Keystone Hero: Operation: Mechagon — Rewards Teleport to Operation: Mechagon ( Path of the Scrappy Prince). Note that you must successfully time both Operation: Mechagon - Junkyard and Operation: Mechagon - Workshop for this teleport.
• Keystone Hero: Tazavesh, the Veiled Market — Rewards Teleport to Tazavesh, the Veiled Market ( Path of the Streetwise Merchant). Note that you must successfully time both Tazavesh: Streets of Wonder and Tazavesh: So'Leah's Gambit for this teleport.
