Title. Been wanting to segway from Heroics into Mythic 0’s, is there anything that is “required?” Things such as item level and other information would help, since this is my first character.
Hey There,
So for M0’s there isn’t really a level requirement, ala using the dungeon finder to get into heroics…I’d say once you’re mostly geared with Heroic pieces, you should be good to start applying for M0 groups in the pre-made group finder.
Just open the group finder window as you usually would and then click the tab listed for pre-made groups. There you can apply filters, search by keywords, etc…usually just need to search for ‘+0’ in there and a list of dungeon groups looking for players will populate…don’t be afraid to apply for multiple +0 listings, as there are definitely people out there who will outright deny lower iLvL players out of elitism. Alternatively, you can make a group of your own in the same interface that other people will be able to apply for and join.
But no, if you are feeling comfortably geared, probably around iLvL 180~190ish, you should be good to start taking on M0’s…Good luck! M+ is a great system and lots of fun 
Generally it’s best to start when you have double legendaries (ilvl doesn’t matter, I was clearing 13+ with belt and I still see a few with the unity belt). If this is the character in question, you’re in a good spot ilvl wise. Pugs will be tough because you’re competing with higher ilvl/io players, but this is less likely with 0’s than keys. You can also run your own 0 for any dungeon since you aren’t kept to your keystone.
I’d recommend 225-230ish ilvl as a minimum since they drop 236 gear. You’ll survive at 225, but the minus 5 rule (230 ilvl) works well unless you have a group of buddies to run with.
Once you get your first keystone, it’s probably best to run your own key while you build ilvl. In the meantime, sandworn relic gear and cypher equipment from zereth mortis is a great way to boost your ilvl.

If you can push the campaign to get access to Zereth Mortis, you can buy a whole set of item level 226 gear. That is high enough to start Mythic 0.
just create your own group and others will join, probably won’t be top geared players but good enough to complete and get you some gear or at least finish and get you a +2 so you can do it and get your weekly reward. Lot of players are understanding and will run a +2 with you just to help with the weekly.
A fresh 60 with Zereth Mortis ilvl 226 vendor can start doing M0’s.
M0’s have no timer or affixes. It’s the perfect place to learn mechanics, routes, tactics and so on. Even an opportunity to practice.
You’re 231 prot paladin.
231 tank is enough to tackle even some low keys. You have to know your class pretty well. Be quick on self heals and off heals, be quick to pop mitigation when needed. Use your blessings, like Freedom and Protection on those who need it.
As tank, the hardest part, really, is to know what packs can be cleaved, what packs need to be killed on their own. You need to have good awareness of your healers mana, and later, groups cooldowns. But all of that comes with experience. No article or a YT video will teach those things.
You already got your unity. So that’s great!
Now you should go ahead and craft your second legendry piece. a 235 base is more than enough. Most of my alts still run 235 bases.
I have a prot paladin alt. I ran 2 legos.
Bulwark is more offensive build. Aka more damage.
and
Protector is more defensive build. You do less damage, but it reduces cooldown on your mitigation
