How to Use the Mythic Dungeon Tools (MDT)
Mythic Dungeon Tools (MDT) is an addon for planning Mythic+ pulls before a run. Its dungeon maps show enemy positions, patrol paths and the Enemy Forces awarded by each enemy. You can group enemies into pulls, check the resulting count and share the route with your party.
This guide explains how to install MDT, build a route, use its drawing and sharing tools, and understand what Live Mode does. Check that you have the current Retail release before planning a current dungeon; the author also provides a separate Legacy plugin for older expansion maps.
What is Mythic Dungeon Tools?
MDT is a route planner, not an automatic guide to the best pull for your group. Its interactive map and Enemy Forces bar help you test a route before entering the dungeon. Enemy information includes crowd-control details and casted spells, so you can mark pulls that need interrupts or control.
Key Features of MDT
Dungeon Maps and Enemy Data
Choose a dungeon to see its map, enemy positions and patrol paths. Select enemies to build pulls; the Enemy Forces bar updates as you add them. The enemy panel includes casted spells and crowd-control information. Inspect those details before deciding where to use interrupts or control.
Pulls and Route Notes
Group selected enemies into pulls and compare different sequences. The toolbar has drawing and note tools, useful for showing a path, skip or point where your group should stop. MDT supplies the map and count; it does not automatically choose tank positioning, assign cooldowns or guarantee a successful route.
Export, Import and Party Sharing
Save a route and export it as a paste string, or share it with party members in game. Import a string to inspect someone else's plan. Seasonal affix features can appear in the addon, but your group still needs to adapt a route to the active dungeon and its current rules.
Why Use Mythic Dungeon Tools?
A route gives your group a shared plan for the required Enemy Forces count and the order of pulls. MDT makes that plan visible on the dungeon map, so everyone can discuss dangerous casts, patrols and potential skips before the key starts. The best route depends on your group and the dungeon; a downloaded string is a starting point to inspect, not an automatic recommendation.
MDT also supports cooperative route editing in Live Mode. That feature concerns editing a shared plan. The author's feature list does not describe automatic live combat tracking, enemy-position updates or a comparison of planned and actual movements, so do not rely on MDT for those functions.
Creating Your First Route
- Install the current addon. Use the Retail release of Mythic Dungeon Tools. Install the author's separate MDT Legacy plugin if you need maps from older expansions.
- Open MDT. Type /mdt or /mythicdungeontools in chat and select the dungeon you want to plan.
- Select enemies. Click the enemies you intend to defeat and group them into pulls. Watch the Enemy Forces bar as you work toward the required count.
- Inspect difficult pulls. Check enemy casts, crowd-control details and patrols. Use the drawing and note tools to explain skips or positioning to your group.
- Share the plan. Export the completed route as a paste string or send it to party members in game. If you import another player's string, check that it matches the dungeon and your intended plan.
Revisit the route when dungeon data or seasonal rules change. MDT's map gives you information to make those decisions; it does not calculate an optimal pull order for every composition.
Advanced Features
Live Mode
Live Mode lets party members edit a route together, including drawing and selecting enemies. It is useful when a group wants to agree on a pull plan before starting. It should not be confused with a real-time combat tracker: the addon author's description does not promise automatic progress or position tracking inside a run.
Drawing, Notes and Enemy Details
Use the toolbar to annotate the map and explain route decisions. Enemy details show casted spells and crowd-control information; combine them with patrol paths and Enemy Forces values when choosing pulls. These are planning aids, not automatic interrupt assignments or threat analysis.
Older Dungeons
For maps from previous expansions, the addon author points to the separate MDT Legacy plugin. Check which game version and dungeon set you are using before importing an old route, because a route from another season may not match the current dungeon data.
Conclusion
MDT helps you map pulls, check Enemy Forces and share a route that the group can understand. Start with the dungeon map, inspect enemy casts and patrols, then use notes or drawings to explain a skip or a dangerous pull. Export the route for your party and adjust it when the dungeon or your group changes.
If you want more help with Mythic+ progression, Mythic Plus Boost services are another option to explore. Check the current service details before choosing one.
FAQ
Yes, MDT allows players to export and import routes using a text-based string. You can share these routes with teammates or use pre-made routes from the community.
MDT calculates the percentage contribution of each enemy pack towards the required enemy forces for dungeon completion, helping players avoid unnecessary pulls while ensuring they meet the requirements.
