This is a PUG-friendly route suitable for players at a variety of keystone levels, but feel free to make some tweaks once you're ready to do some skips!
This route makes use of two different skips requiring an Invisibility Potion or a Rogue's Shroud of Concealment, and is suitable for +12 to +14 PUGs and Intermediate groups looking to step up into some tougher keys.
This advanced route was popularized by YodaTV and his group in a +17 on YouTube, but we've see groups attempting some of these skips as early as keystone level 13 with the data available on Raider.IO's Mythic+ Heatmaps! Choose this route only if you're looking to push IO and have the comp and group coordination necessary to achieve the CCs and skips needed to complete this key cleanly.
Use this route if you are in a random PUG or just starting out in keys for the season, as it is a simple and straightforward route for beginning groups.
Choose this route if you're in a regular group looking to push up into intermediate-difficulty keys, or if you're in a more advanced PUG with similarly-experienced players. While you may not HAVE to do a skip with this route, moving too slowly may result in extra enemy forces, in which case a skip further on in the dungeon can help you make up time.

This route makes use of two early skips to optimize Bloodlust timings and bypass some dangerous trash mobs, as well as a Night Elf tank skip towards Rixxa Fluxflame. It is best suited for organized groups looking to time higher keys.
Choose this route if you're in a PUG that would like to do the low-risk, popular Shroud/Invis/Mind Soothe skip halfway through the hallways towards I'pa (see notes over at The Weekly Route). There's some trash skipped near Buzzbee, but there are no stringent class or consumable requirements involved there.
This route is suitable for advanced groups looking to push their score and time keys at +15 and higher. You will need a Rogue and Priest or Invis Pots in order to perform the skips in this route.

Use this route if you are an experienced, organized group looking to push the highest keystone levels. This route relies upon several risky skips which become much easier with some semblance of communication and organization.

I’ve been running Mythic+ across multiple expansions, always testing routes on the PTR to make sure PUGs have a solid plan for the first week of the season. These routes are designed to be easy to execute, with smart skips and pull-by-pull notes so you don’t get lost in the chaos.
That said, these routes won’t be maintained long-term—they’re built to help everyone get through the initial learning curve without unnecessary frustration. As the season progresses, meta strategies and optimized routes will likely emerge, but if you just want a reliable, no-nonsense plan for week one, you’re in the right place!
