Keystone Hero: Court of Stars is a Feat of Strength you earn by finishing Court of Stars within the timer at the Keystone Hero level — a +10 under the current key scale, or +20 back when the dungeon sat in the Dragonflight Season 1 pool. It unlocks the account-wide Path of the Grand Magistrix teleport to the dungeon entrance in Suramar, and it can only be earned while Court of Stars is in the active Mythic+ rotation.
Quick facts
| Achievement type | Feat of Strength, one per dungeon, kept forever once earned |
| Requirement | Time the key at Keystone Hero level (+10 on the current scale; it was +20 pre-squish) |
| Dungeon | Court of Stars, Suramar City, Broken Isles (a Legion dungeon) |
| Bosses | Patrol Captain Gerdo, Talixae Flamewreath, Advisor Melandrus |
| Reward | Path of the Grand Magistrix — teleport to the Court of Stars entrance, usable by every character on the account |
| When earnable | Only in seasons where Court of Stars is in the Mythic+ pool (last confirmed: Dragonflight Season 1) |
| Rating impact | None beyond the normal score for a timed key; it is a cosmetic/convenience unlock |
How to earn it, step by step
- Check that Court of Stars is in the current season's dungeon pool. If it is not, the achievement cannot be earned this season — no amount of keys will change that.
- Get a Court of Stars keystone at +10 or higher (or have someone in your group bring one).
- Plan the route around the 100% enemy-forces count. Court of Stars is one of the shorter dungeons, so a single wipe on Talixae or a botched spy segment before Melandrus can eat the whole cushion.
- Finish all three bosses and the count before the timer runs out. Over-timing it still gives loot and score, but not the Feat of Strength.
- The achievement fires on completion; the teleport appears in your spellbook shortly after, on all characters.
Is Keystone Hero: Court of Stars available right now?
Only if Court of Stars is in the active rotation. The dungeon's last confirmed Mythic+ season was Dragonflight Season 1, when the Keystone Hero mark was +20. Since the key-level squish, the same achievement is granted for a timed +10 in whichever dungeons are in the pool. If a newer season has brought it back, the +10 timed rule is what applies; if it has not, the teleport stays locked until it rotates in again.
Players who timed it back in Dragonflight kept everything. The Feat of Strength and the teleport were granted retroactively when dungeon portals were added, so nothing is lost when the dungeon leaves the pool.
How hard is a timed Court of Stars at that level?
Mechanically it is short and punishing rather than long and grindy. The pressure points are Gerdo's arcane pulses and patrolling adds, Talixae's fire-heavy pull with her three lieutenants, and the spy segment where the group has to pick the right clues before Melandrus. Miss the imposter and you lose minutes you rarely get back on a 30-minute-style timer.
Interrupts, decurses and dispels matter more here than raw damage. A coordinated five-stack with a clear pull plan times it comfortably at the Keystone Hero level; a pug with no plan for the spy phase usually does not.
What does the Path of the Grand Magistrix teleport do?
It puts you at the Court of Stars entrance in Suramar without a flight, a portal chain or a summon. Like other Mythic+ dungeon teleports it has a long cooldown, cannot be cast in combat, and works on every character on the account, including ones that never set foot in the dungeon.
Keystone Hero vs Keystone Master vs Keystone Legend
Keystone Hero is per dungeon and gives a teleport. Keystone Master is the seasonal 2000-rating achievement and awards the season's mount. Keystone Legend is the 3000-rating tier above it. You can hold a Keystone Hero for Court of Stars without ever reaching Keystone Master, and vice versa.
