An attempt at mythic nerd math

while trying to map out what I think I need to get the last 80 points to 2000 rating, i dove into raider IO’s site. based upon that site, i estimated what I need to time to get there.

I wanted to know from a broader perspective what is needed. (alts anyone?) If my math is correct, here is an estimated minimum requirement to achieve 2000 mythic rating right now. this isn’t my path, but I thought it might be interesting to others.

You have 16 total dungeon results: 8 dungeons, two weekly scenarios (fortified and tyrannical).


TL;DR:

assuming everything normally timed

your top results need to be 14s.
Your secondary scores can be 4@13, 3@12, 1 @11.


according to Raider io, your mythic rating is 150% of the dungeon score for the better of your two timed keys for a dungeon (fortified and tyrannical). You get 50% for the lesser keys of the two.

top dungeon scores:
8 dungeons timed at 14 give you 192 each for 1536 rating

secondary dungeon score:

4 at 13 give you 60.5 each for 242 rating
3 at 12 give you 57 each for 171 rating
1 at 11 gives you 53.5 rating

adding the four results, you would expect to be at 2002.5

of course your actual results could vary if you 2 or 3 chest one of the dungeons at these levels or go 40% over and lose rating.

safe travels

It’s 13’s timed both week basically.

i guess i could get it, then.

but i don’t like thyrranical weeks so… nah.

thanks for the math though.

Or you could just timed all the dungeons at +13.

if my number are correct, all 13s timed would get you to 1936.

They are not, 13s across the board Fort and Tyrannical will be 2k. Just like how 15s used to be 2k last expansion.

If you did them precisely when the timer hit 0,youd be correct. The reality is that most of them would be 1-10m under limit which awards bonus points.

Getting 2k with 13s does require a few keys to be 2 chests, but that shouldn’t be an issue.

edit just to say that’s a legit site, not a sarcastic response.

thanks for posting this. i have looked at it, and i find it slightly confusing because I don’t think I get the same rating adjustment that I thought I would get based upon its numbers. but then again, I might not be accounting for the difference between “score” and “rating”. the better of your two runs is weighted at 150% of the score and the lesser is at 50% to determine the overall rating.

i’ll have to see how that might make more sense to me.

There’s a simple addon that tells you exactly how many points you will get from each key but I can’t remember what it’s called or if it works now. It was very nice last expansion though.

Didn’t I tell you to look at my profile in your last thread? You can see what I got for 12s. 13s. 14s. 14 over times. And 15s. To get ksm.

I did look. that was the path you did. however, i wanted to map out what was the minimum needed to actually score 2k.

a lot of people say “just time all 13s” some say “time 14s” people simply repeating what everyone else has told them say “KSM means timing all 15s”. those people are incorrect in one way or another.

at least the people saying “time all 14s” are correct in that 14s should be your target for your higher dungeon. then the question becomes, what level key do you need to complete in your secondary dungeon to finish it off?

you do not need 14s in both Tyrannical and fortified to get KSM. your path showed that. I was just trying to put specific math to it.

You get like 65 points per affix (fort or tyran) then 7.5 per difficulty level and 7.5 per speed bonus (+,++,+++)

So a 3 chest 14 should be 192.5. Doing it on fortified should add 65 points if I remember correctly bringing it to 257.5 which would be rounded up to 258. But last time I did the math was season 1 of shadowlands.

You only need 2000. So open up your mythic dungeon tab. If you have 250 you can consider that dungeon complete. If you don’t you need to do the next higher difficulty to add 7.5 points until you break the 250 threshold.

fewer than 25% of the player base has a 2000 rating right now. assuming that 3 chesting 14s is a goal for the average player is completely offbase.

That is almost like thinking that because an MDI team can clear top dungeons in 15 minutes, everyone should be doing that.

sure, if you and your team are capable of 3-chesting 14s, smash 'em up and get your rating up there much faster than I detailed.

I used a 14 +++ as an example.

Timed Fortified : 65 points
Timed Tyrannical: 65 points
Timed 14: 14 x 7.5 = 105 points
Each affix 7.5 points : non non seasonal = 15 points
Seasonal affix: 15 points

So for a timed (on the dot) 14 yields 265 points if I remember right. But again this is going off old knowledge and I can’t find a article on the new dragonflight season.

Either way you need 250 points in all 8 dungeons and you’ll be at 2000
