Understanding the Results:
Once you successfully enter the information and press submit, this tool will evaluate your current overall rating as well as your rating for each dungeon. With that information
it will generate multiple options, from the hardest but fastest to the easiest but longest.
Each option will have the suggested dungeons, the minimum key level, and the minimum time to finish it to get the ratings. If you successfully finished all the suggested keys, you would have the desired rating.
How it Works:
To understand how this tool works, first we need to understand how World of Warcraft™ calculates Mythic+ Rating:
Each key level gives a different "base" score. the following table shows how the base scores are distributed as follows:
Note: The above table was generated using some questionable analytics on a very limited number of datasets. Please keep in mind that it might not be 100% accurate.
The "Base Score" in the above table represent the rating you would get if you finished the dungeon exactly on time. However, you will get more rating (up to the "Max Score" from the table) if you finish the
dungeon before it's time limit. Similarly, if you finish the dungeon after the time limit you will get less than the base score (down to the "Min Score"), however if you
run time was more than 40% of the time limit then 0 rating is given.
How much rating you get is calculated as follows:
First we need to calculate the run time percentage. The run time percentage is calculated as follows:
PT = Min[ (TLimit - TRun) / TLimit , 0.40 ]%
where:
TLimit = The dungeon's time limit.
TRun = Your dungeon's run time.
Note that the result value is capped at 40% using "Min". i.e. it takes the minimum between the calculated value and 40%.
Using calculated percentage from Eq. 1, we can calculate the run's rating as follows:
Rating = Baselevel + (PT * 37.5)
where:
PT = The time percentage calculated in the previous step.
Baselevel = The base score for the key level, looked up from the table above.
For example:
if you ran a level 7 key. assuming the time limit for that dungeon is 33 minutes ( = 1980 seconds in total) and
you completed it in 27mins and 47 seconds ( = 1667 seconds in total) then the rating for this run can be calculated as follows:
PT = (1980 - 1667) / 1980 = 15.81%
Note that if the result was higher than 40% then we cap it at 40%
Next step is to calculate the dungeon rating:
given that the key level was 7 in this example. we look up the base score to be 265 from the table above.
and 15.81% = 15.81/100 = 0.1581
Rating = 265 + (0.1581 * 37.5) ≈ 270.9
For calculating overtime runs, it's a very similar process, except, the moment the key is over time, 15 ratings is taken away from the base, and then the rest is taken away
depend on the time percentage:
Rating = Baselevel + (PT * 37.5) - 15
Notes:
-
when calculating PT here, it's the same exact formula above (Eq. 1), but since the run time is bigger than the time limit then the percentage would be negative, therefore subtracting from the base score
-
If PT > 40% then 0 rating is given to this dungeon
Using the above formulas, this tool applies them backwards. when you set a target rating. the tool fetches all your runs from raider.io and calculates what is the
minimum key level and run time required to achieve that over all rating. by giving you options on how many runs are required to achieve the rating
