Ta'hsup in the Hall of Holding in Oribos can offer a Keystoneto players who do not have one, as long as they have completed at least 1Shadowlands dungeon on Mythic+ difficulty.

Ta'hsup will also spawn at the end of Mythic+ dungeons that are completedbefore the time limit is reached. He will offer a one-time Keystone exchangeto any player whose current Keystone is at or below the level of the dungeonthat was recently completed on time. Keystones that are higher level than thedungeon that was recently completed on time cannot be traded, including theKeystone that was used to start the run.

Additionally, Ta'hsup in Oribos will also deplete your Keystone asmany times as you would like, so you do not need to continuously leave and resetinstances to deplete your Keystone.

Patch 9.1 introduced a way for players to gauge theirsuccess and preparation to take on the challenges found in Mythic+ dungeons —the Mythic Scoring System.

You can view your personal Mythic+ Rating within the Group Finder(I) UI under the Mythic Dungeons tab. Hovering your mouse over the center Dungeonrating will bring up a tooltip that explains more about your rating and how toimprove it.

Your rating increases each time you run a dungeon you have not completed beforeor when you beat your own best time in a dungeon you have already completed.Completing a key provides a rating based on two main factors — the levelof the key and the run's time compared to the dungeon'stimer. With each Season, Mythic+ Ratings are reset in the display.

You can find more information about the Mythic scoring system in ourdedicated guide.
