Keystone Master vs Keystone Hero: What's the Difference?

Understanding Mythic+ Seasonal Achievements

Every Mythic+ season introduces tiered achievements that reward players for pushing their keystones to specific rating thresholds. Two of the most sought-after are Keystone Master and Keystone Hero — and knowing the difference helps you decide which goal is right for you.

What Is Keystone Master (KSM)?

Keystone Master is earned by reaching a specific Mythic Rating threshold during the season. It rewards players with:

  • šŸ A unique seasonal mount exclusive to that season
  • ⭐ 2000 Mythic Rating milestone
  • šŸŽ½ Higher item level loot from the Great Vault
  • šŸ† A permanent achievement on your character

KSM is the benchmark for serious Mythic+ players and is considered a mark of consistent dungeon performance.

What Is Keystone Hero (KSH)?

Keystone Hero goes a step further, requiring players to complete higher-level keys and reach a 2500 Mythic Rating. Rewards include:

  • šŸ¦‡ An exclusive Carrion Mount
  • šŸ“ Dungeon teleport unlocks for faster access
  • šŸ›”ļø Higher item level gear from both dungeon drops and the Great Vault
  • šŸ”„ A prestigious achievement that signals elite-level play

What About Keystone Legend?

For the most dedicated players, Keystone Legend pushes the ceiling even further — requiring a 3000 Mythic Rating and completion of very high-level keys. The rewards are among the rarest in the game and represent the pinnacle of Mythic+ achievement.
