M+ Season 2 to Season 3 Keystone Level Drop Confirmation?

[Krystallíne-malganis]

Has there been any confirmation how many levels a keystone will drop going form this week to next? I want to know what level keystone I should complete in order to ensure I have at least a 15 for next season start.

BFA Keystone Season 1 → Season 2 = Mythic Keystones will go down by an additional 3 levels when the season transition occurs

BFA Keystone Season 2 → Season 3 = * Mythic Keystones will go down by an additional 3 levels when the season transition occurs, to account for this difficulty increase. So if you do an 11 this week, instead of getting a Level 10 keystone when Season 3 starts, expect a 7.

Shadowlands Season 1 → Season 2 = They dropped by 3 levels.

… Since there’s been no confirmation, we can only use history, so, why are people saying we need to do a 20 this week on time in order to get a 15??

Hello Krystallíne!

When Season 3 begins next week, Mythic+ Keystones will be lowered by an additional 3 levels to account for the overall increase in dungeon difficulty. If you’d like to open your Great Vault next week and earn a +15 Keystone, you’ll need to time a +18 or complete a +19 untimed before next weekly regional maintenance.

Hope this helps clear things up.

Thanks for the update, Linxy!

Keep up the great work over there.

Will ilvl of keystone rewards be lowered or capped on the first few weeks?
Thanks for the information.
Edited!

What do you mean by that question?

[Birds-stormrage]

Don’t leave yet! Will we be able to get the new, higher item level gear next week? Or is it staying at 252 next week.

Great Vault Expectations -- First Two Weeks of July

We’ve seen some questions from players who’d like to know specifics about how endgame loot and the Great Vault will operate over the next two weekly resets, so we’ve prepared the following outline. Next Week Following the next weekly reset on July 6 in this region, the Great Vault will offer rewards exactly as it has in previous weeks. Between now and then, defeating raid bosses in Castle Nathria, completing Season 1 Mythic Keystone Dungeons, and earning Honor in rated PvP will generate those …

Mythic+ end-of-run drops will cap at Mythic+10 throughout the week of July 6-12, and Season 2 Rated PvP gear upgrades are initially capped at Rival (base item level 239) until Mythic Difficulty Sanctum of Domination is available.
Will mythic keystone rewards be capped?

[Cäpslöck-proudmoore]

Probably. They’ve done it every season since at least BFA S1-S2

Hey! That’s my GM!

I’m still here Birds!

Mythic+ end-of-run drops will cap at Mythic+10 throughout the week of March 1–7, and Season 3 Rated PvP gear upgrades are initially capped at Rival II (base item level 268) until Mythic Difficulty Sepulcher of the First Ones is available.

Completing the Great Vault participation requirements next week, March 1–7, will reward the new item level thresholds in the March 8 Great Vault after the weekly maintenance.

Season 3 Great Vault Rewards

Difficulty	End-of-Run	Missed Timer	Great Vault
Mythic+15	ilvl 262	ilvl 259	ilvl 278

Class set pieces, excluding shoulder and chest, will appear in the Great Vault rewards starting on March 8 from all vault categories. Defeating raid bosses that drop tier will increase your chances of receiving that tier slot from the Raids row. The shoulder and chest pieces will appear in the Great Vault rewards from March 15 and beyond.

“increase you chances” by how much exactly? And does this mean that later in the patch, we can selectively avoid tier-bosses in a week to increase our chances of non-tier items (like weapons and trinkets?)

[Akkua-frostmourne]

Can you clarify that “increase your chances” part. Is this the current system where you have to kill boss 8 to unlock boss 8 rewards in the GV but just worded differently. Or is this a week by week thing where killing tier set bosses = higher chance of tier set in vault?

[Leicester-bleeding-hollow]

gonna love it in the future when you just need your bis weapon or trinket and it’s just tier that keeps showing up on your vault.

[Birds-stormrage]

Appreciate the confirmation. Thanks

What Ilvl will tier gear be that comes from the M+ and PvP sections of the vaults, and do these pieces have the same stat weights as the raid drops or can they roll differently?

[Jibblës-dalaran]

Hey, hopefully you see this. If I timed a +20 key last reset and skipped keys altogether this week, would I get a level 16 keystone from Ta’hsup in Oribos, like in previous weeks?

[Seeradruid-area-52]

so, if i remember correctly, the tier will roll on the ilvl that was unlocked for the respective slot. regarding the stats, they will have the same as the raid drops. also when you use the catalyst to create a tier piece from a m+/pvp one, no matter the stats, they will be rerolled into the raid ones. hope this is helpful. sorry for the english, not my first language.
