Raid progress explained: what 7/9M means

The four difficulties

Every modern World of Warcraft raid ships with Raid Finder, Normal, Heroic and Mythic difficulties. Raid Finder and Normal are where most players see the story. Heroic is the mid tier that many guilds clear each season. Mythic is the fixed twenty player difficulty with the hardest mechanics and the slowest progression.

Reading 7/9M

The first number is bosses killed, the second is the total bosses in the raid, and the letter is the difficulty: N for Normal, H for Heroic and M for Mythic. So 7/9M means seven of nine bosses defeated on Mythic. A character that is 9/9H and 2/9M has cleared Heroic and started Mythic.

• 9/9N: full Normal clear
• 9/9H: full Heroic clear, often called AOTC once the final boss falls
• 9/9M: full Mythic clear, often called Cutting Edge
• The end boss on Mythic is usually worth more bragging rights than every other kill combined

How MythicKey tracks raid kills

Character profiles show every current raid with progress bars per difficulty and the date of the latest kill. Because MythicKey snapshots tracked characters regularly, a new kill becomes an activity event: who killed which boss on which difficulty and when. The weekly recap counts raid kills across all your friends, so you can see which guild had the best reset.

Earlier tiers are kept too. Expand a raid panel to see the full kill history for previous raids in the expansion.
