What is the point of pushing higher keys?

So right now I have gotten my 4 piece, done some +8s, LFR, etc.

What would the point be to push further and go into +15s - 20s?

Is there any reason to try to push and clear the heroic raid?

I feel like I’ve seen all there is and I no longer really need to do anything.

Sounds like you won. Nice !

I rarely run mythics and have only done LFR on 2 of my toons. I think I also won.

+20s for portals if you want them, that’s it.
+16s for aspect crests.
+15? For the second affix.

Anything over +20 is for bragging.

But none of that is actually anything rewarding.

Is there anything actually rewarding?

Any cool crazy mounts or transmogs?

If you’re a druid there’s a fire owl xmog (glyph?) for flight form off mythic Fyrakk.

Title at 1500.
Mount at 2k.
Special tier effects at 2.5k
Portals to dungeons for completing +20s

The aforementioned, as well as offering the most efficient long term way of obtaining all PvE tints of the tier mogs.

2k gets you a mount which is 15s. 2500 gets you the cosmetic item that works account wide giving your tier for lfr normal and heroic the same effect as mythic and 2700 is timing 20s so u get all the portals. after that its the top 1% for the im better than you title. last seasons 2500 cosmetic was way better than this seasons

I imagine a lot of people push higher keys for the fun and for the challenge of it. A lot of the people I talk to on here about high M+ do, anyway.

I prefer to slum it in the lower keys. I love a sure thing.

Wait 2500 gets you the mythic raid transmog???

Apart from the already mentioned rewards, some people enjoying challenging themselves and aren’t scared of failing to see how much they can push keys for IO score.

Is it really that hard to imagine people want to see how good they can be at something? Why do you think ranked modes in other games are so popular?

quite a few different reasons:

if you hit 1500 score you unlock the season’s title, this season’s being “the dreaming”
if you hit 2000 score you unlock a mount, this season being the verdant armordon, also a free heroic raid token to exchange
if you hit 2500 score you unlock the mythic transmog vfx for all of the armor sets

also, if you’ve done the balance of power artifact transmog questline, timing a +15 will unlock an extra tint

if you want to challenge yourself.

Damn Ok that’s not bad.

I do want that mythic transmog. That looks badass.

To clarify, they mean this:

No. Doing +17s and higher gets you Hero gear that can be catalysed for the Heroic tint, and then upgraded to the Mythic tint. The rating is independent.

The 2500 effect applies to all tints, but baseline is only found on the Mythic (and i think Elite) tint.

I will say though, that mount looks TERRIBLE lol.

no 2500 gets you the mythic glow like the helm and shoulders have but for all the other tints. that being said if your at 2500 u should have the mythic raid transmog already since u will have aspect crests and hero track gear

If you do 10-15 I think you get wyrm crests which you can also get enchanted crests of that can turn any slot item into up to 476. Or you can also just keep upgrading to 476 or so if you have champion or hero gear on.

Is 10 where the difficulty ramps up significantly?

How much harder is it than 8?

Prob another 20% health and damage or around that I believe. It isn’t too bad. I’m prob looking at older charts that might have changed a little bit.
