To check your Midnight Season 2 scores and run history on Raider.IO, search for your character or guild profile directly on the Raider.IO website. Installing the Raider.IO in-game addon lets you inspect scores directly on your screen without leaving World of Warcraft. These tools reveal your completed keystones across the active dungeon rotation and help you refine your route execution.

Checking Character Profiles and Mythic+ Runs

The primary way to perform a WoW RIO score check is by searching for your character name or guild on the site. Your profile shows your Midnight Season 2 Mythic+ scores, current raid progression, and individual run details.

The site also tracks regional and guild rankings alongside recent dungeon activity. Beyond web searches, downloading the official desktop app gathers all your characters into a single dashboard so you can view your standing at a glance.

Raider.IO In-Game Addon and Tools

The raider io addon brings profile ratings into the default game interface, allowing you to see player scores when forming groups. It also provides several integrated features to help you push higher keys:

  • Mythic+ Replay System: Displays an in-game overlay comparing your active dungeon attempt directly against past runs.
  • Mythic+ Heatmaps: Shows where players commonly trigger Bloodlust and identifies frequent wipe areas across different keystone levels and team compositions.
  • Raider.IO Talent Builds: Features top-performing talent setups sorted by spec, keystone bracket, and specific dungeon.
  • Auto-Route Creator: Generates maps from completed leaderboard runs that can be modified with Keystone.Guru and imported into Mythic Dungeon Tools.

Season 2 Dungeon Rotation and Timers

Your overall seasonal score relies on finishing runs within the designated timer across eight dungeons. Dungeons completed within these limits grant rating points and full end-of-run chest rewards.

Timing any Season 2 dungeon on a Keystone Level of 10 or higher unlocks a portal directly to that instance.

Season 2 Affix Thresholds and Keystones

Keystone difficulty scales through layered mechanics added at specific milestone tiers:

  • Keystone 2 to 4: Lindormi’s Guidance highlights targeted enemies, weakens them by 5% health and damage, and removes the timer penalty for player deaths.
  • Keystone 5 to 11: A weekly rotating Xal'atath’s Bargain affix appears. Overcoming its mechanics grants your team Xal’atath’s Gift buffs, while failing empowers the enemies.
  • Keystone 7 to 9: Fortified (increasing non-boss health and damage by 20%) and Tyrannical (increasing boss health by 25% and damage by 15%) alternate every week.
  • Keystone 10+: Both Fortified and Tyrannical are active simultaneously.
  • Keystone 12+: Xal'atath’s Guile replaces the Bargain affix, penalizing every player death by subtracting 15 seconds from the remaining timer up until the last minute.

Clearing all eight dungeons at level 12 or above grants the Midnight Season 2: Resilient Keystone 12 achievement. This keeps your keystone from depleting below level 12 for the rest of the season, though you can still lower it manually by speaking to Lindormi in Silvermoon City.

Keystone Rating Milestones

As you increase your score across both Fortified and Tyrannical runs, you reach seasonal Feats of Strength and cosmetic milestones:
