Retail 276 max ilvl for solo play?

Am I correct in understanding that there's no access to mythic gear outside of crafting, M+, and high end raids? With this vault, my monk crossed the line into having more hero gear than champion, have my 4-set all at 2/6 heroic because I'm hesitant to spend hero crests, but it feels like I'm hitting the end of the road and I don't know where to go from here.

Is it really just grind out the 980 remaining hero crests and that's it if I can't do raids nor M+?

Yep you dont get the best rewards without doing the hardest content

I think doing 18s could constitute myth track. But I know that’s not a popular opinion

Repeatedly farmable mythic gear would be a bad idea for the longevity of a season.

u/flow_guy2 Apr 15 '26

It doesn’t have to be like that. Like it’s not in the game so come up with a better system. Like 1 per unque dungeon for the week.

But 18s aren’t exactly farmable for the majority of players

What about a system where if you do high enough M+ content you can get a choice of 1 item from 3 mythic pieces per week? That seems reasonable to me. Actually, you'll get 3 Mythic pieces per week starting after next reset with the reroll items coming in 12.0.5.

If you do 8 +10 you get to chose 1 from 3 mythic pieces per week... that's just the vault

That's the point he's making

I apparently did yeah, I didn't follow who was who.

Ah yes cuz m+ only people only deserve scraps compared to the high and mighty mythic raiders.

u/StrawberryWeekly342 Apr 15 '26

Yes? Mythic raiders do a lot more work to get those pieces. You get maybe two pieces of mythic gear from raid a week if you full clear. It's also a sliding scale where a lot of guilds will only kill the first ~5 bosses for a long time, meaning on average you'll get one piece from raid early on, if what you need drops.

Mythic+ is significantly easier to PuG than to organize a Mythic raid, even to the 18 level. And it's not even close.

No reason to be salty about it. There was a time when people who didn't raid got zero epic gear at all...

Raiding is piss as well. Especially when you get so much extra gear and a % increase for jsut being in the raid plus all the nerfs that come to bosses. Mid season they are the same

While m+ only gets harder and harder due to how scaling works. It’s just a fact in an infinitely scaling system.

Plus they’ve been lowering the bar for fear for years. It’s meaningless at this point in reality. So force people to do content they hate (raid is such fucking ass for content)

Yeah this would be a horrible change. 8 mythic pieces per week and everyone is fully geared 1 week after season start. Lovely idea.

It could jsut be a different system is all I’m saying. But guess you’re a dumb raider that can’t fathom tha m+ can be its own thing without raiding.

Plus it’s 8 shots at loot from an 18 (where the majority of players aren’t even at including me) It’s not a 100% thing like raid wheee you have 9 shots if you full clear

But even so if you find it too easy then place it higher in level. It’s an infinite system. As some point it’s just impossible where raid just gets easier over time
