Mythic+ dungeons were released in World of Warcraft's latest expansion this week! The moment my little group and I have been waiting for. Unfortunately, due to health issues (thanks, Covid) and work commitments, this week wasn't the best week to start progression, but nonetheless my little group has begun our journey.
I started this week at ilvl 380, which is a very decent pre-Mythic level and is thanks mostly to the reputation grinds available out there. You get a nice cloak and necklace from siding with either Wrathion or Sabellian, a ring from Cobalt Assembly, various pieces from reaching certain renown with the other factions, and I put in a crafting order for new shoulders and another ring.
With necklaces you can get socketing devices from Jewelcrafters and be able to put up to three gem sockets on the necklace. I just did one because as far as I'm concerned all this gear is Throwaway Gear and will be replaced in Mythics.
I'm after gear with Haste and Mastery on it, then once I reach about 20% Haste I can sidle over into some Critical Strike as well.
The Mythic+ dungeons for this season are four from this current Dragonflight expansion and four from previous expansions, which I thought was interesting. Making old content somewhat relevant.
So far we've done several runs of Algath'ar Academy which is our current favourite. It's just so easy to run through. Every time we've run through it, we've three-chested it, unfortunately there's nothing in there for me that's really decent.
There is a trinket that offers a 3000ish mastery proc, and I won it, but I gave it to a friend instead because I prefer my current non-Mythic trinkets. It's sad that the most easiest dungeon that we can fly through offers nothing of relevance to my fury warrior or my partner's prot paladin. xD
Apart from Algath'ar Academy, we've also done one Halls of Valor which is also the first time I've ever done this dungeon. It was a Legion dungeon and I didn't bother with the Legion expansion.
We've done one Temple of the Jade Serpent which brought back memories. Mists of Pandaria was the first expansion for me where I actually started diving into dungeons and raids and started enjoying more than just gold farming.
And we've done one Nokhud Offensive which is one of the new Dragonflight dungeons and was quite difficult. We really need practice in that place to see just what the bosses do. But at the moment we wince at it and consider it "the Plaguefall of this expansion." Plaguefall was the worst dungeon in Shadowlands. š
At the moment we have some unfavourable keys to continue our progression. I have a +7 Shadowmoon Burial Grounds which was a god-awful dungeon from the Warlords of Draenor expansion. No one in my group wants to do it. xD But we're going to have to at some point.
We'll see how it goes tonight. I would really like to get just one piece of haste/mastery gear this week. Of course I might be lucky and get something out of the weekly Vault as well. But in my experience the Vault doesn't give me what I want. xD Fingers crossed, anyway.
To finish off, I'd like to share with you a bunch of screenshots I took while I've been fishing this past week. xD This expansion is really just too pretty to not take screenshots.
And one last screenshot............
Because I am The Big Cheese. xD š§ And apparently no one else can see this while I'm roaming around so I have no choice but to screenshot it and share it. Which is ridonkulous, Blizzard. The whole point of these amusing things is to show them to other people!

Until next time!! š„š²
