The introduction of the Keystone Myth achievement in World of Warcraft: Midnight (Patch 12.0.5) marks a major shift in how Mythic+ rewards work. For the first time, players who push high Mythic+ ratings gain access not only to current seasonal rewards—but also to mounts from previous expansions.
If you’ve ever missed a Keystone Master mount, this system changes everything.
The Keystone Myth achievement is a high-end Mythic+ milestone, requiring approximately 3400 Mythic+ rating in a single season.

If not, stopping at Keystone Master or Legend is still perfectly valid and far more achievable.
Let’s be realistic—grinding to 3400 rating through PUGs can take weeks of inconsistent runs, failed keys, and time loss.
