World of Warcraft has had a long time to polish its gameplay model, and keep things exciting for long-time players of the MMO. One relatively new innovation is the Mythic+ Season system. Each Season, players strive to achieve the highest possible Mythic+ rating, as well as various raid-based activities.

For Mythic+, some older dungeons are making their return: Tazavesh, Operation Mechagon, Return to Karazhan, Grimrail Depot, and Iron Docks. In addition, there’s a new Keystone modifier – Shrouded. Certain enemies are secretly disguised Nathrezim, and if you defeat them you gain a temporary buff to a secondary stat. You’ll also get a health and mana restoration that’ll be valuable mid-fight. If you reach a Mythic+ rating of at least 1500 this season, you’ll gain the title “The Shrouded”. Reach 2000, and you’ll get a nifty shadow elemental mount, the Restoration Deathwalker. Completing all the Mythic+ dungeons at Keystone level 20 or higher will net you dungeon
