News Tag: Buy WoW Midnight Gold

Dear loyal WoW Midnight players, as you all know, if you’ve consistently followed the weekly quests and completed them all on time, you should have finished the final Feeding the Nilhammer quest this week and unlocked Nilhammer.

As we’ve previously learned, Nilhammer helps you upgrade your gear.

You can use it on specific slots to further increase your character’s weapon and trinket levels, breaking through the cap. Ultimately, you can reach an item level close to 300, or more precisely, 298.

All players who completed all the quests will experience a significant power boost this week. However, some players may be struggling with how to farm enough Ascendant Voidshards, especially efficiently to upgrade their item levels.

The good news is that WoW Midnight recently changed the way you obtain these Ascendant Voidshard. You no longer need to constantly farm Tier 1 Ritual Sites to get them. With the latest changes, you now have a wide variety of options.

Next, I’ll explain in detail how to properly unlock upgrades, farm Ascendant Voidshard, and what you need to do to maintain your character’s strength.

Completing Feeding the Nilhammer

If you want to keep up with the highest item level in WoW Midnight and not fall behind other players, you must ensure you’ve completed Feeding the Nilhammer questline.

As mentioned before, if you’ve been consistently completing Decimus’s weekly quests over the past few weeks, this will be a natural progression.

If you haven’t completed this questline yet, it may take some time to catch up.

Don’t worry too much, though; these quests are very simple and can be completed on Normal difficulty. Alternatively, you can choose Normal difficulty raids, which is the fastest method.

Once you complete all Feeding the Nilhammer quests, you’ll unlock Nilhammer gear upgrade system in WoW Midnight. Completing the new quests Decimus gives afterward will allow all your characters to collect Ascendant Voidshard.

The Specific Function of Ascendant Voidshard

To use Ascendant Voidshard to upgrade your item level, you first need to understand how to use it.

You must consume five Ascendant Voidshards to craft one Ascendant Voidcore, and then consume it to upgrade specific equipment slots.

Note that one Ascendant Voidcore can increase item level of weapons and trinkets by 6, and not all items can be upgraded. You can upgrade these items:

• Hero or Myth track weapons and trinkets that have been fully upgraded
• Maximum quality Radiance Crafted weapons and trinkets

The effect of these item level increases will be very noticeable, especially for melee classes, where higher item levels significantly improve their strength.

It will tag your gear with Ascendant Voidforged and increase its maximum item level to an astonishing 298. For crafted items, the maximum item level is 295.

It's worth noting that regardless of whether your best gear this season reaches the maximum item level of 298, you can upgrade it. Don't be stingy with WoW Midnight gold; the improvements it provides are more important to you.

Currently, there are no restrictions on acquiring Ascendant Voidshards, so you can first raise their item level to the current maximum.

Then continue acquiring Ascendant Voidshards to accumulate enough Ascendant Voidcore to ensure you can easily replace your gear with better pieces later.

How to Quickly Farm Ascendant Voidshards?

As mentioned earlier, a significant advantage of this version is the lack of upgrade limits. If you wish, you can farm enough Ascendant Voidshards in the next few days to prepare for item level upgrades throughout the remainder of this WoW Midnight season.

Therefore, your next step is to farm as many Ascendant Voidshards as possible.

Furthermore, the good news is that, based on extensive player feedback, the official team has modified the acquisition methods for Ascendant Voidshard and increased their drop rates.

Mythic+

If you can clear Mythic+ dungeons above level 10, you can reliably obtain Ascendant Voidshard. However, if you are a solo player or find it difficult to consistently clear levels above 10, this method is not recommended, as the drop rate for Mythic+ dungeons below level 10 is very low, making it inefficient.

Ritual Sites

While the drop rate for Ritual Sites has been changed, it remains the best way for solo players to obtain Ascendant Voidshard, if you can complete Tier 5 Ritual Sites.

Mythic Raid and Heroic Raid

These two methods have similar drop mechanisms; defeating each boss grants one Ascendant Voidshard. Therefore, Heroic Raids are recommended, as Mythic Raids are more difficult but do not offer a higher drop rate.

Nightmare Prey

This is one of the best methods because it offers a stable drop rate for Ascendant Voidshards, is relatively quick to complete, and doesn’t present a high level of difficulty. The only downside is the limited number of Nightmare Prey attempts per week, only two.

Delves

Similar to Nightmare Prey, Delves offer stable drops and lower difficulty, but the weekly drop rate is limited. Additionally, this method requires a significant number of Coffer Keys.

Through these methods, you can quickly farm enough materials for upgrades. Therefore, what you need to do now is immediately start farming enough Ascendant Voidcores; it’s definitely worth the effort.

This will allow you to maintain your character’s strength at the highest level in WoW Midnight for the remainder of this season.

WoW Midnight team issued a lengthy announcement detailing a set of tank specialization adjustments that will go live after the server reset on May 12. These changes, long awaited by the tank community, are all positive enhancements, with no nerfs to Brewmaster Monk or the recently adjusted Guardian Druid.

The goal of these buffs is to bolster the passive damage mitigation of tank specializations that have been underperforming in high-level Mythic+ dungeons, while also extending the duration and improving the effectiveness of some of their cooldowns, allowing them to better handle heavy damage phases. Let's take a closer look at the specific changes for each specialization.

Blood Death Knight

Blood Death Knight changes focus primarily on its more random mechanics. Dancing Rune Weapon's parry chance has been increased from 20% to 25%. While this is an improvement, it remains a defensive stat that relies on random triggers, making it an inherently unreliable form of mitigation.

Rune Weapon empowerment triggered by Dance of Midnight talent now lasts up to 8 seconds, and its proc chance has been increased. This means you'll trigger the effect more often, with a longer duration and more parry mitigation.

Since Rune Weapon empowerment also acts as an offensive cooldown, the extended duration and higher frequency will boost your damage output as well. However, this still layers random mitigation on top of a random proc, and for a tank spec, such unreliable defensive gameplay doesn't feel ideal.

Beyond the mechanical adjustments, Blood Death Knight also receives a small increase to stamina and healing. These changes will definitely make the spec feel smoother in Mythic+ dungeons, but they won't suddenly propel it into a dominant position. Therefore, Blood Death Knight players can hold onto their WoW Midnight gold for now and don't need to rush to make specialization adjustments.

Vengeance Demon Hunter

Vengeance Demon Hunter gets several passive survivability increases, a relatively steady set of changes.

Demonic Wards' base damage reduction has been increased from 8% to 12% (a 4% hike), and Thick Skin now boosts stamina by 5%.

Mastery: Fel Blood's armor bonus has been increased. Since Vengeance Demon Hunter does not actively stack Mastery in the current meta - only picking up incidental amounts from gear - this buff's practical impact is limited.

Void Reaver now increases the damage reduction provided by Frailty to 5%. In a standard Frailty build, with two stacks, mitigation rises from 8% to 10%.

Overall, these changes give Vengeance Demon Hunter slightly less than 6% passive, all-type damage reduction, along with some extra stamina. It's definitely a survivability boost that makes you feel a bit sturdier, but again, it won't spark a massive reroll frenzy or push Vengeance Demon Hunter into the mainstream spotlight.

Protection Paladin

Protection Paladin is without a doubt the biggest winner of this round. The changes comprehensively boost its baseline durability and on-demand survivability by strengthening passive effects and cooldowns.

Passive Skills

• Blessing of Dusk now reduces damage taken by up to 20% (was 10%), scaling with lower health.
• Sanctified Plates provides an additional 5% stamina bonus.

Active Skills

• Ardent Defender's duration has been extended from 8 to 12 seconds, and its damage reduction increased from 20% to 30%. This greatly addresses Protection Paladin's gaps in defensive coverage.
• Sentinel's duration has been restored from 16 seconds to 20 seconds, matching Avenging Wrath's duration.

This isn't just a simple 4-second extension. Because you can continuously refresh Sentinel's duration with damaging abilities while it's active, that 4-second base increase actually translates into at least 8 extra seconds of coverage after extensions. The benefit is even more pronounced during high-haste scenarios such as Bloodlust.

Previously, Sentinel couldn't quite compete because of its shorter duration. Now that it shares the same base duration as Avenging Wrath, its damage reduction, damage, and healing effects can fully shine.

Combined with Ardent Defender changes, Protection Paladin's defensive cooldown uptime sees a substantial increase. Although opting for Sentinel may result in slightly lower AoE damage compared to before, its damage output remains strong.

More importantly, Protection Paladin brings unmatched group utility, which has already made it quite popular in Mythic+ dungeons. It's safe to expect that after these changes go live, its representation in high keys will climb significantly.

Protection Warrior

Protection Warrior already excels at physical mitigation, so the adjustments aim to shore up its weakness against magic and sustained damage.

Fight Through Flames now provides 6% damage reduction. The issue is that in Mythic+ settings, this talent competes with options that grant flat armor bonuses or the group interrupt Disrupting Shout, so Fight Through Flames isn't picked very often.

Phalanx talent now offers 8% damage reduction, up from 5%. This adjustment ties into hero talent tree choices. The current popular approach typically invests only one point in that branch to favor resource generation and maximum health, whereas this improvement encourages spending four points to reach Apex.

Additionally, Ignore Pain has been buffed by 8%. If you continue using the popular single-point Apex setup, this boost won't be transformative. That said, Protection Warrior's power level is already second only to Brewmaster and Guardian Druid, so it doesn't need massive buffs.

Overall, Protection Paladin is the standout highlight of these adjustments, and its competitiveness in high-level Mythic+ will noticeably rise. These changes successfully bring tank specs that were previously somewhat weaker up to a level where they can contend with Brewmaster and Guardian Druid, especially in Mythic+ dungeons.

Dear players, WoW Midnight events for this week haven't reset yet. We still have time to participate in World Quest Bonus Event, which will increase your reputation gain by 50%. If you're aiming to boost your Midnight reputation, be sure to take advantage of this bonus before the week resets. Let's check out these exciting events!

Darkmoon Faire

Darkmoon Island is now open, granting players a 10% reputation and experience boost, which stacks with World Quest bonus.

Rewards available:

• Mounts: Darkmoon Zeppelin, Darkmoon Dancing Bear, etc.
• Transmog: Full Scarlet Crusade set (requires completing island quests to unlock access)
• Toys, pets, and Heirloom upgrade items

Additionally, defeating rare mobs like Moon Goddess will drop weapon skins.

It's recommended that players who need to grind reputation or experience first go to Darkmoon Island to get the buff before doing World Quest.

The next weekly event is Battleground Rewards Week, which will increase Honor Points and Honor Badges earned, making it more suitable for PvP players.

Limited-Time Rare Mounts

The current special altar location is Broken Throne in Zul'Aman. The altar difficulty is level 2 or higher, and high item level is not required.

Void-Corrupted Hex Eagle (Blue Glowing Version)

First, enter Broken Throne altar, pick up the lost candle on the ground, and then place the candle on the skull in the scene. Click to summon the rare monster, then kill it for a 100% chance of obtaining the mount.

The original Void-Corrupted Hex Eagle required 5-6 hours of reputation farming, while the current version only takes a few minutes. It also has a blue glowing effect and is much rarer in appearance.

The mount will drop as long as the altar is active; if you miss it, you'll have to wait several weeks for the next rotation.

Ancestral War Bear

Crafting this mount requires 6 Practically Pork. You can obtain Practically Pork by killing wild beasts; it's not difficult and is usually quite cheap.

Simply find Lost Bear inside the altar, feed it a Practically Pork, and you'll get the pet Chubs. Lost Bear will be marked on the minimap.

After using it, the pet will be added to your collection. Then, go to another designated location within the altar, summon Chubs to walk around, trigger the rare monster Angry Amani Warbear, and kill it. Finally, use five Practically Porks on the corpse to obtain the mount.

This mount also has a 100% drop rate and can be obtained in the same altar as the Void-Corrupted Hex Eagle.

Warbear model is the same as the old Zul'Aman, but the color is brown with a woven pattern.

Both mounts are only obtainable during Broken Throne altar's activation this week. After the weekly reset, the altar location rotates to Eversong Woods, at which time you can obtain another mount: Void-Touched Snapdragon. If you miss this week's patch, you'll have to wait weeks or even months for the altar to rotate to Zul'Aman again.

Patch 12.0.7 Preview

We can glean some details from last week's Patch 12.0.7 release.

First, Patch 12.0.7 will be themed around the history of trolls, but the specific name has not yet been announced. Also, a new chapter will be unlocked after the patch goes live, connecting to the subsequent 12.1.

Turbulent Timeways are finally returning in Patch 12.0.7. Void Assault and the new altar area will both be available in the new Midnight area.

Of course, the patch will also include a large number of new mounts and a new Transmog system, which we can look forward to.

Developer Controversy and Player Opinions

Recently, there has actually been some controversy surrounding the game within the community. This cannot be ignored.

$75 House Decoration Bundle

This official bundle, priced at $50 for the appearance only and $75 for the complete decoration bundle including indoor and outdoor furniture, is contradictory. The 12.0.5 version was released with numerous bugs and incomplete features, and the developers had just apologized, stating players deserved better. Now, they've immediately launched this high-priced bundle, a move drastically detached from player needs, making it impossible for players to remain silent.

The bundle is even more expensive than the game itself, and the housing system hasn't yet incorporated enough in-game racial styles, such as human-specific appearances, yet the paid bundle is already included. This inevitably raises the suspicion that developer resources are being used for pure profiteering rather than game improvements.

$1600 Lich King and Invincible Statue

Targeting hardcore collectors, but public opinion suggests that the official news lately consists of only two things: apologies and overpriced items.

Diablo 4 Collaboration Set

Porting Warcraft Tier 2 set style to Diablo 4, available for a limited time.

Players are questioning why T2 is being sold again when it's already been overused and two more T2-themed versions are planned.

The weekly reset is just around the corner; if you see a reminder, please complete the quests immediately. Prioritize using the remaining time to acquire the two altar mounts and Darkmoon Faire bonus.

Also, let's look forward to the development direction of Patch 12.0.7 and hope WoW Midnight can provide a satisfactory explanation to players.

WoW Midnight Patch 12.0.5 was released on North American servers on April 21, with European and other servers updating within the same week. This update brings a wealth of new gameplay and system adjustments, including new open-world events and a new gear catch-up mechanic.

The patch provides a further boost to character item level, while also adding a catch-up path for those whose gear has fallen a bit behind. Let's take a closer look at what this update actually brings to the table.

Void Forge

On patch day, before you dive into any other new content, your absolute first step should be completing Void Forge questline located in Voidstorm. This system is designed to raise your item level as swiftly as possible.

Nebulous Voidcores

After finishing Void Forge questline, you will receive Nebulous Voidcores. This is a brand-new version of an extra loot mechanic.

When you complete endgame activities such as Mythic+ dungeons, Bountiful Delves, or Prey Hunts, you may consume one Voidcore to obtain an additional piece of loot from that specific run.

More importantly, each time you use a Voidcore to acquire an item, that item is temporarily removed from the activity's loot pool for that difficulty. Over time, this means the pool gradually shrinks until you are nearly guaranteed to target the exact piece of gear you want.

If you use a Voidcore after finishing a Mythic Keystone +10 dungeon, the reward will scale according to your Great Vault item level, which means you also stand a chance to receive Mythic Track gear from it.

You can trade WoW Midnight gold, sidelight Marl, and Veteran Dawncrests for Nebulous Voidcores, but the number of cores you can obtain and use each week is capped. So do not waste them carelessly.

It is strongly advised not to use them on Hero Track gear; whenever possible, reserve those opportunities for Mythic Track loot.

Ascendant Voidcore

The second part of this system is Ascendant Voidcore, which allows players to upgrade a Hero Track item that has already reached its cap further into Mythic Track. This applies equally to weapons and trinkets, giving top-tier gear even more room to grow.

Gear Acquisition

In Patch 12.0.5, Mythic+ dungeons currently yield significantly more Crests than raids. Players have discovered that even if the sole goal is to farm Crests for upgrading raid gear, the most efficient method is simply to run Mythic+.

Furthermore, Void Forge provides two bonus loot rolls per week; using one in a raid consumes two rolls, whereas using one in a Mythic+ dungeon consumes only a single roll. This means Mythic+ players have three chances each week to obtain Mythic-level items, while Heroic raiders only get two.

Although some best-in-slot trinkets and weapons remain exclusive to raid drops, when it comes to overall character item level progression, players who focus on Mythic+ have a clear advantage.

Disrupt Ritual Sites

First, make sure to pick up the introductory quest for the ritual sites in Silvermoon to kick off the whole process. After that, clear all the side quests along the way; their primary purpose is to help you unlock the various Affixes for Ritual Sites.

When you first enter a Ritual Site location, you will begin with a lower difficulty challenge and no Affixes active. Completing and turning in those basic tasks unlocks Affixes and gradually advances you through the challenge tiers. The entire system rewards Field Accolades. You can use these tokens at the vendor to obtain caches containing Champion or Hero Track gear.

The higher the challenge difficulty and the more Affixes you activate, the more Accolades you will earn from a single run. Therefore, the core strategy is to tackle the highest difficulty you can handle while activating as many Affixes as possible. Additionally, the random transmog caches from the vendor can also grant Tier 2 Recolored appearances.

Void Assaults

Void Assaults are essentially the open-world version of Ritual Sites, offering nearly identical rewards.

Void Assaults spawn smaller events called Void Strikes in specific zones. These events can be completed solo and take about five minutes each.

Once enough Void Strikes have been completed within a zone, a Void Incursion begins. This is a large-scale group event that requires server-wide player coordination to finish. Completing it yields substantially better rewards.

To be honest, if your item level is already above 270 and you possess Heroic or Mythic Track gear, these activities will not contribute much to character power progression. However, they are an excellent option for gearing up alts. Farming them efficiently in a group provides decent experience and, upon reaching max level, lets you quickly exchange accumulated tokens for starter gear, preparing you for raids and Mythic dungeons.

Abyssal Anglers

Abyssal Anglers is a purely recreational activity with no impact on character combat power. It primarily rewards transmog appearances, housing decorations, and a currency used for crafting epic-quality profession tools.

Simply head northeast of Zul'Aman to find the quest NPC and accept the introductory quest to unlock the diving system. The gameplay involves diving underwater and catching as many fish, finding as much treasure, and gathering as many resources as possible before your oxygen runs out. If you complete the associated achievements, you can obtain better diving gear to extend your time underwater, thereby improving your collection efficiency.

Decor Duel

Decor Duel is a 7v7 game of hide-and-seek from which you can earn transmog items, toys, and decorative rewards. While it is a limited-time event, the developers have confirmed that the repeatable decorative rewards will be made available through other means in the future.

Transmogrification

Beyond the new sheathed weapon stance adjustment, the transmog system has introduced more automation and context-sensitive features.

The new outfit command added in Patch 12.0.5 allows players to bind transmog sets to macros, letting you swap entire outfits with a single keypress without opening the interface.

Additionally, transmog sets can now be tied to weather and time conditions. You can configure different appearances to switch automatically between day and night, or even trigger specific cosmetic ensembles when it begins to rain or snow in-game.

That covers most of what Patch 12.0.5 has to offer. If your goal is to strengthen your character, your best course of action is to prioritize completing Void Forge questline first.

The week is already halfway over, but the plethora of events in World of Warcraft this week continues unabated. With so many activities available, you might be overwhelmed. Let IGGM help you sort things out.

This guide will primarily introduce you to the highly anticipated Midnight Dungeon Event and Darkmoon Faire Event, both of which are so exciting you won't want to miss them. The different challenges and amazing prizes will keep you entertained.

We've included more details about WoW Midnight event and tips on how to effectively avoid traps, making us IGGM's top priority to be your helpful companion on your adventure. Feel free to read the following content.

Midnight Dungeon Event

Midnight Dungeon Event officially begins at 8:00 AM on April 7th and ends at the same time one week later, at 7:00 AM on April 14th. Seize the opportunity to acquire your Hero Gear. If you've been hoping for the 259 ilvl Hero Gear, then this week is not to be missed.

During the event, your main objective is to defeat the final boss and claim the rewards. IGGM reminds you that you'll need to use all the different characters involved. It's worth mentioning that if you choose Normal, Eric, or Mythic zero difficulty for your dungeon quest, one member of your party will receive a piece of gear that falls from the sky.

When the event begins, find Archmage Aethas Sunreaver in Silvermoon, successfully accept Emissary of War mission, and you can start your journey. Of course, you can also choose to enable it in Dungeon Journal.

The weekly tasks will motivate you to complete the four Mythic Dungeons, setting high standards for you while often revealing the generous rewards for them. IGGM will reveal it in advance: Cache of Quel'Thalas Treasures, containing non-tier gear from Heroic Season 1 Raids.

Continuing with the dungeon content, this week's dungeons also include some new content. LFR version of March on Quel'Danas is no longer restricted, and you can enter it once it's available. The story mode will also be available at the same time. This will speed up your completion of Midnight storyline. If you clear the game on your own, Frigid Hearthstone will be yours.

Note that if you obtain Sign of the Warrior buff within a week and receive additional rewards from defeating the final bosses of Mythic, Heroic, and Normal dungeons, then Mythic+ Dungeons will no longer grant you any extra loot.

If you just want to complete the game quickly, base Mythic Dungeons is recommended as your first choice. However, Mythic+ Dungeons will still not be removed from your quest progress. To be on the safe side, your best strategy is to take the treasure chest as soon as you finish stockpiling your warehouse each week.

After successfully completing the tasks, you will receive gear from the different raids, and if you're lucky, a cash reward may also quietly appear. For example, extremely rare loot will drop in Voidspire Raid and March on Quel'Danas raid, making them well worth the effort. In terms of difficulty, it's a piece of cake for you.

If you want to avoid wasting too much energy on complex tasks, get your desired loot quickly and directly, and aren't entirely satisfied with the items presented to you, buy WoW Midnight Gold from IGGM.com to obtain more high-quality and rare items. Plus, a 5%-8% discount is already prepared for you.

Darkmoon Faire Event

Don't miss another event this week: Darkmoon Faire Event. Upon arrival on the island, a series of different activities have been waiting for you; let's complete them one by one with great enthusiasm. You'll get Massive Buffs you deserve. You'll be rewarded with Massive Buffs. Take action to boost your Reputation and Experience gains. Massive Buffs will increase both by 10%.

However, IGGM reminds you that this is unrelated to Reputations from Midnight. So, even if you put in consistent effort to increase Reputation from the start, you might still not get what you deserve. Don't be discouraged; Don't be discouraged, don't miss out on the 10% bonus.

In addition to participating in the main storyline events, there are even more rewards waiting for you to trigger. Defeating Death Metal Knights or rare Witches on the island will reward you with cool items, such as Maces.

For skin options, there are various Cosmetic Head Armors available. If you still feel something is missing, head over to the vendor section, where you'll find Scarlet outfits that might interest you. Feel free to shop to your heart's content. The island's scenery, culture, and a high degree of freedom of movement are all worth enjoying.

With the detailed explanation above, we believe you now have a clear plan for this week's activities and your own personalized strategy. This guide is dedicated to helping you bravely engage in various activities, and we will accompany you throughout your WoW Midnight journey.

WoW Midnight has streamlined the gear system, but the sheer amount of information can still be overwhelming. What are these items for? Where do they come from? And how can you improve them?

To help you understand the best gear setups, let’s break down what changed in WoW Midnight and how to acquire the best gear.

Gear System Simplification

First, Midnight has made some adjustments to the gearing system as part of its streamlining process. They’ve reduced the number of gear qualities from six to five.

• Adventurer
• Veteran
• Champion
• Hero
• Mythic

Each quality of gear can be upgraded within a specific item level range. The final few item levels of one quality overlap with the beginning of the next, which allows for a smoother power transition for players.

However, even if two pieces of gear have the same item level, they can be very different if they are of different qualities. When swapping equipment, it’s generally better to prioritize a higher quality piece over one with a slightly higher item level.

Upgrading Gear

There’s a quest chain in Dornogal that guides you through the upgrade process. Each upgrade requires a certain number of Crests and some WoW Midnight gold. The exact number of Crests needed has changed about three times in recent months, but the important thing to remember is that you can benefit from two types of discounts:

Discount for Already-Achieved Item Levels If you want to upgrade a piece of gear to an item level you’ve already reached on another item, that upgrade will cost zero Crests. For example, if you have a 250 item level Veteran piece but get a new 246 item level Champion piece, upgrading that Champion item to 250 will require no Crests (though the gold cost remains).

Warband Discount Once your main character reaches specific item level thresholds, your entire warband will enjoy a 50% discount on Crests for upgrades. This requires obtaining the corresponding achievements, which are:

• Adventurer of the Dawn: 237 item level
• Veteran of the Dawn: 250 item level
• Champion of the Dawn: 263 item level
• Hero of the Dawn: 276 item level
• Mythic of the Dawn: 285 item level

These achievements are tied to the item level ranges and Crest requirements for each quality. Once your item level hits 237, it means you’ve moved beyond the need for Adventurer Crests, and all your alts will only need half the usual Adventurer Crests to upgrade their Adventurer gear. Therefore, it’s wise to get your main character to these item level milestones first before investing many Crests in your alts.

An even smarter approach is to first push your main to 237 item level to unlock the achievement, then start upgrading your alts’ Adventurer gear. Next, bring your main up to 250 item level before you start upgrading your alts’ Veteran gear. This maximizes your Crest usage, and remember, Crest acquisition has a weekly cap. The number you can earn each week is limited, which in turn limits how many upgrades you can perform.

How to Get Gear?

Regarding gear acquisition, if you’re not considering PvP, there are four main types of PvE content you’ll engage with at max level.

Open World

In the open world, you can participate in World Quests, Pinnacle Events, and World Bosses.

These quests reward Adventurer quality gear, and their item level will dynamically increase with your current equipment. Pinnacle Events reward a Pinnacle Chest containing Veteran quality gear, Crests, and gold.

World Bosses become available at the start of Season 1 and typically reward Champion quality gear from a small loot table. They appear alongside a world quest, so they’re hard to miss.

Prey

• Normal Prey: Rewards Adventurer Gear
• Hard Prey: Rewards Veteran Gear
• Nightmare Prey: Rewards Champion Gear

Each difficulty Prey can yield gear twice per week. Even if you only get two pieces of Adventurer Gear from Normal Prey each week, as long as you complete all Normal Adventures that week, three Veteran-quality options will appear in your Great Vault. Completing Nightmare Prey will upgrade your Great Vault rewards from Champion to Heroic quality.

Delves

Bountiful Delves are marked with a colored icon on the map, and their final chests provide the gear you’re aiming for. To open one, you need a Bountiful Key, which you can get from Great Vault.

Sometimes, from world quests or other content, you’ll find Coffer Key Shards. Collecting 100 of them while inside a Delve will combine them into a Bountiful Key. Shards can even drop within Delves themselves, so the whole system is interconnected.

Maps have a chance to drop randomly. Using one gives you a buff that, on your next Delve, will spawn an additional chest containing a better piece of gear.

Bountiful Delves Rewards:

• Tiers 1-4: Adventurer gear
• Tiers 5-6: Veteran gear
• Tier 7+: Champion gear

Trove Hunter Rewards (from using a Map):

• Tiers 4-5: Veteran gear
• Tiers 6-7: Champion gear
• Tier 8+: Hero quality gear

Great Vault (from any non-Bountiful Delves)

• Tiers 1-4: Veteran gear
• Tiers 5-7: Champion gear
• Tier 8+: Hero gear

Completing the highest difficulty Delves also has a small chance to drop Mythic Upgrade Quests, which can eventually help you transition to the game’s most powerful equipment.

Dungeons

• Heroic Dungeons: Drop Adventurer gear, Vault rewards Veteran gear.
• Mythic 0 Dungeons: Drop Champion gear, Vault rewards Champion gear at max level for that track.
• Mythic+ Dungeons: Levels 2-5 drop Champion gear, Level 6+ drop Hero gear.

Starting from Mythic+ 10, your Great Vault will offer Mythic quality items. However, note that the dungeons themselves never directly drop Mythic quality gear. So, ideally, your goal is to fill your Vault with enough level 10 runs to get access to Mythic items.

Raids

Great Vault rewards for raiding match the quality of gear that drops from the raid itself, and completing raid encounters also drops gear of various qualities.

• Raid Finder (LFR): Veteran gear
• Normal: Champion gear
• Heroic: Hero gear
• Mythic: Mythic gear

Crafted Gear

Crafted gear doesn’t follow the same quality system, but its item level depends on the materials used, specifically Crests. You can use Crests as crafting materials to increase an item’s level, which combines with the crafter’s skill.

Typically, items made with Crests will end up 1-2 item levels below the equivalent quality gear upgraded with the same tier of Crests. The advantage of crafted gear is that you can choose the perfect stats for your spec and sometimes add Embellishments for extra effects.

Season 1 has now begun, and if you’re still figuring out your gear, the information above should help you get equipped quickly.

After a long two-week wait, WoW Midnight Season 1 is finally poised to make its official debut, bringing with it a massive amount of brand-new playable content!

This season introduces three brand-new raids, alongside seasonal updates and mechanical tweaks for other standard game modes.

Crucially, this content will be released in phases; this ensures you won't feel overwhelmed while guaranteeing there is always something new for you to play.

Below, we present a comprehensive overview of all the new content in Midnight Season 1, based on the official release schedule.

WoW Midnight Season 1 schedule

The season officially launches on March 17, 2026. From that date until April 7, new content will be released in weekly increments. The specific schedule is as follows:

This system divides the entire raid into several smaller sections, each containing just 2 to 4 bosses, allowing you to complete specific portions of the raid content in a shorter timeframe using Raid Finder tool. All Voidspire Raid bosses and their primary abilities include:

• Imperator Averzian: Shadow's Advance, Abyssal Voidshaper, Cosmic Eruption
• Vorasius: Void Breath, Parasite Expulsion, Smashing Frenzy
• Fallen-King Salhadaar: Desperate Measures, Concentrated Void, Cosmic Unraveling
• Vaelgor & Ezzorak: Dread Breath, Nullbeam, Vaelwing
• Lightblinded Vanguard: Spirit of the Mender, Aura of Wrath, Execution Sentence
• Crown of the Cosmos: Silverstrike Arrow, Grasp of Emptiness, Void Expulsion

Dreamrift Raid

To enter this raid, you must first complete The Root Cause quest to unlock the portal from Silvermoon City to Harandar. The specific coordinates for the raid entrance are /way 2413 61.7 62.3.

Although this raid features only one boss, Chimaerus, the encounter is divided into two distinct stages, each containing several mini-bosses.

• Stage One: Insatiable Hunger
• Stage Two: To The Skies

March on Quel'Danas Raid

The entrance to this raid is located in the southern part of Isle of Quel'Danas; the specific coordinates are /way 2424 52.6 87.5. There are a total of two bosses:

• Belo'ren, Child of Al'ar: Voidlight Convergence, Embers of Belo'ren, Void Ember
• Midnight Falls: Death's Dirge, Safeguard Prism, Disintegration

After April 7th, all difficulty levels for all Season 1 raids will become unlocked, with Mythic being the most dangerous among them. The increase in difficulty is primarily reflected in changes to boss abilities and mechanics; approach these challenges with extreme caution.

Season 1 Dungeons

All playable dungeons are available in Normal, Heroic, Mythic 0, and Mythic+ difficulties. While the first three difficulty levels typically involve straightforward encounters with dungeon bosses, Mythic+ is fundamentally different.

This difficulty tier requires your 5-player dungeon group to complete specific objectives within a strict time limit, while also contending with additional affixes that further increase the challenge.

Furthermore, the specific difficulty level of a Mythic+ dungeon is determined by a Keystone, with the first affix appearing at Keystone Level 2. All Mythic+ affixes include:

• Keystone Level 2 - Lindormi's Guidance
• Keystone Level 4 - Xal'atath's Bargain
• Keystone Level 7 - Fortified and Tyrannical
• Keystone Level 10 - Fortified and Tyrannical (again)
• Keystone Level 12 - Xal'atath's Guile

All loot within a dungeon is awarded collectively only upon the dungeon's completion. Furthermore, the specific Mythic+ dungeons available for challenge, along with their associated rewards, vary from season to season and can only be experienced before the current season concludes.

Each character also possesses a unique Mythic+ rating for every season, serving to continuously track and record your performance in Mythic+ dungeons throughout that season.

There are eight Mythic+ dungeons available in Season 1, categorized into two groups:

Midnight Dungeons:

• Magisters' Terrace
• Maisara Caverns
• Nexus-Point Xenas
• Windrunner Spire

Legacy Dungeons:

• Algeth'ar Academy
• The Seat of the Triumvirate
• Skyreach
• Pit of Saron

What is Great Vault?

Starting in Season 1, if you consistently complete a certain amount of Raids, Mythic+ dungeons, or other content each week, a new reward item will be added to your Great Vault.

Once the weekly routine maintenance concludes and the servers come back online, you can open your Great Vault to select one item from the rewards you deposited during the previous week as your final prize.

New Delves Season

Delves are a special type of short-form dungeon found in Midnight; they can be explored either solo or in a group, with a maximum group size of 5 players.

Each Delve run lasts between 10 and 20 minutes. During this time, the system assigns an NPC to serve as your ally; you, or your group leader if you are in a party, can then customize this NPC to fulfill the specific combat role required for your needs.

Every Delve features a unique scenic layout and backstory, though the specific map structure and enemy compositions remain fixed.

Much like raids and standard dungeons, a significant portion of the content within Delves will be updated and refreshed with the arrival of each new season. In Season 1, your NPC companion is Blood Elf Rogue, Valeera Sanguinar. The playable Delves include:

• The Darkway
• Twilight Crypts
• Atal'Aman
• The Grudge Pit
• The Gulf of Memory
• Parhelion Plaza
• Collegiate Calamity
• The Shadow Enclave
• Den of Echoes
• Shadowguard Point
• Sunkiller Sanctum
• Torment's Rise

The above serves as a general overview of the key details regarding the new content coming soon in WoW Midnight Season 1. If you managed to complete your leveling, your journey through the new season is bound to be much smoother than everyone else's! Have fun!

Regardless of your current progress, if you want to accelerate your advancement once Season 1 goes live, especially when it comes to clearing raids, it is highly recommended that you buy WoW Midnight gold at IGGM right now!

Having more gold not only saves you valuable farming time but also grants you greater trading flexibility, allowing you to acquire the gear or consumables you desire whenever you need them and effortlessly lead your team to victory!

It's been nearly two weeks since the launch of WoW Midnight, and many players have already reached level 90. So, is there nothing left to do? Time for a break? No, certainly not.

The leveling process is enjoyable, but that's not all. After reaching level 90, there are still plenty of activities worth your time.

Weekly Quests

WoW Midnight features many activities and quests that operate on a weekly cycle. Of course, there are some one-time quests that offer high item level gear, but to obtain the maximum rewards, you'll need to focus on specific events each week. Fortunately, these are now very easy to identify, typically marked by purple quest icons and map icons.

However, before diving into these, ensure your reputation with the following factions has reached specific thresholds:

• Silvermoon Court: Level 9
• Amani Tribe: Level 9
• Hara'ti: Level 8
• The Singularity: Level 7

Reaching these levels allows you to pick up additional quests from the four reputation quartermasters upon completing your weekly quests, granting you champion-level equipment at no cost. If your reputation isn't there yet, you can skip this part for now.

Quartermasters And Quests

First, you'll need to find Lady Liadrin, who offers the weekly quest, Unity Against the Void. You have several ways to complete this quest, such as through World Quests, Prey system, or Battlegrounds.

Completing the quest rewards you with a collection of items, including a Pinnacle Chest and a Spark of Radiance, used for future crafting.

Standing beside Lady Liadrin is Halduron, who provides a weekly dungeon quest. A single run through a dungeon on any difficulty allows you to choose a faction and instantly gain 1000 reputation with them. It's advisable to add this reputation to the faction you are currently lowest with.

Lor'themar's World Tour quest is also worth completing, as it grants you a second Spark of Radiance. However, it's recommended you hold onto these Sparks until major events launch.

Each World Tour Quest rewards you with reputation and Pinnacle Chests containing WoW Midnight gold and crest. The first two events you complete each week also have an additional chance to drop equipment. Each event features a helpful introductory quest explaining its mechanics; simply look for the purple icons in various zones.

Prey System

In Silvermoon City, you can participate in Prey system, where NPCs command you to hunt down targets. You can engage in this activity extensively each week, but the rewards are most significant for the first four hunts.

The first four hunts each week provide 1000 Prey: Season Journey track reputation, allowing you to advance one rank weekly. Additionally, the first two completions on each difficulty award you with gear appropriate for that difficulty.

The most efficient approach is to first pick up the quest and complete a hunt on Normal difficulty, which unlocks Hard mode. Then, complete three more hunts (preferably on Hard mode). This method yields two veteran pieces of equipment and a substantial amount of reputation.

Of course, you can continue farming beyond this, but subsequent rewards are primarily achievements and currency for transmogrification. The reputation gained from repeated runs drops drastically to a meager 50 points, making it inefficient.

Furthermore, while tracking your prey, you can progress the hunt by doing almost any other world content. World Quests in each zone, including weekly special assignments, all contribute to your hunt progress. So, you can activate a hunt and then clear all the world quests in an area, accomplishing multiple goals efficiently.

Preparing for Season 1

Preparing for the first season primarily involves two aspects: gear and crests.

Gear

Through reputation rewards and Prey system, you've likely upgraded several gear slots already. Next, to acquire more veteran gear, you'll want to challenge Mythic Zero dungeons.

Gather a group of friends and clear all Mythic dungeons. These dungeons are not overly difficult, and their mechanics are quite straightforward – you'll be able to handle them.

However, there's one boss mechanic you might need to be aware of: Lothraxion. When Lothraxion and his copies begin casting together, remember to only interrupt the copy without horns. All the false copies have shimmering, horned appearances, while the real one does not. As long as you can manage this mechanic, the others shouldn't pose much of a challenge.

Crests

If you've been consistently doing your weekly quests, you should have accumulated some Adventurer and Veteran crests. You can use these now to upgrade your equipment, particularly major items like weapons and chest armor.

If you find yourself needing more crests to reach your cap, Prey system is currently the only way to farm Veteran crests. If you need more Adventurer Crests, Delves are your best option. 

Other Activities

Once you've addressed your leveling and gearing needs, there's no mandatory content left for this phase. Therefore, you can focus on achievements, zone-specific side stories, and similar content. Experiencing all of this content could take several weeks, but it will allow you to better immerse yourself in the story of WoW Midnight.

You can also work on customizing your dwelling. If you enable the icon for decoration vendors on your minimap, you'll find them everywhere throughout Midnight. So, perhaps it's time to redecorate your home with fresh, Midnight-themed furnishings.

There are numerous activities available at max level. If the above still doesn't fill your playtime, you could also consider leveling an alt. But honestly, there's no need to rush. Why not try to slow down your pace and truly immerse yourself in the game experience?

WoW Midnight is now officially open, but there's still some time before large-scale raids open. Top players are racing against time to level up and compete for world first kills.

However, there's a limit to what an account can do in a day, and many players are leveling alts to acquire more gear and resources. So, let's look at how to efficiently level up an alt to 90 and get suitable gear, including several speed-up tips.

Quests And Reputation

If you're a brand new alt, the most reliable way to level up is by following the main campaign. Completing the main campaign will usually get you to around level 87. From level 87 onwards, you'll need to do some side quests to fill the experience gap.

So, why is doing side quests so recommended? Because side quests provide reputation. In the current version, reputation is crucial; it's a prerequisite for obtaining Champion-level gear. Champion gear has far superior stats compared to the old Veteran gear you get from Mythic 0 dungeons, so you'll see many players diligently grinding reputation.

Boosting Character

If you have a character boost service that allows your alt to instantly reach level 80, what should you do? Continue questing? Not necessarily. The system will prompt you whether you can skip the tedious intro quest chain. It's strongly recommended that you skip it, saving you a precious 40 minutes of life.

If your alt's gear isn't very good, for example, with an item level of only 60 or 70, leveling will be extremely painful. You can first acquire some basic high item level Uncommon gear from the auction house in the main city, which will greatly improve leveling efficiency.

Sojourners

You need to understand an achievement series called Sojourners, which is account-wide. Once one character completes Sojourners achievement for a specific map, all your other characters will automatically inherit the progress from that map.

Sojourner achievements require you to complete a specific chain of quests that reward reputation with the corresponding faction. For example:

• Sojourner of Eversong Woods: Rewards Silvermoon reputation.
• Sojourner of Zul'Aman: Rewards Amani Tribe reputation.
• Sojourner of Harandar: Rewards The Hara'ti reputation.
• Sojourner of Voidstorm: Rewards The Singularity reputation.

How to Find These Quests?

You can use addons to track quests you haven't completed yet, which is more efficient. Even without any addons, quests marked with a yellow exclamation mark on the map are usually key reputation-rewarding quests and should be prioritized.

Once you follow Sojourner achievement quest chain, the process is very fast; about five to six quests should get your alt to level 90. Additionally, you'll gain a significant amount of reputation, allowing each of your alts to easily obtain four or more items of 246 item level gear. This will greatly benefit your profession upgrades or the acquisition of better equipment.

Other Leveling Methods

If you haven't completed Sojourner achievement or want to try other methods, here's an efficiency analysis of several leveling methods in WoW Midnight:

Farming Dungeons

This method is not recommended, especially for solo players and DPS classes. Dungeon experience has been nerfed by Blizzard in this expansion. Worse still, many tanks are unfamiliar with the routes, pulling only two or three mobs at a time, potentially taking 30 minutes to complete a dungeon – extremely inefficient.

However, dungeons with quests are worth doing. Most maps have quests pointing to a specific dungeon. Completing these quests for the first time rewards a large amount of experience, gear, and a onetime reputation boost (account-wide). Doing them while leveling is definitely worthwhile; if you don't do them, you can do them when you reach max level and run Mythic 0.

Delves

Delves used to be the most efficient way to level up, and some players still use them for fast leveling. Although the developers have nerfed them somewhat, it's still a good option if you just want to grind.

When you reach around level 87-88, you can start focusing on Delves quests. Most Delves contain a onetime quest that grants 85,000 to 90,000 XP upon completion. Utilizing these quests effectively can help you quickly skip the last few levels.

Adventure Mode

After completing the main campaign, all your alts will unlock this mode. It's the fastest option for solo players. It mixes main, side, and regional quests, allowing you to freely choose which areas to explore. You can reach max level in about four or five encounters.

Professions

The first crafting of any profession grants a massive amount of experience. Therefore, you can learn a profession and then use materials obtained from Auction House to craft everything you can. Forget the profession after crafting and learn the next one.

This will take you approximately 20,000-30,000 WoW Midnight gold, but a character can gain over 575,000 experience. With Darkmoon Faire buff, you can even get 650,000 experience, and since each level from 87 to 90 requires 500,000-600,000 XP, this is more than enough to level you up.

Leveling Buffs

Warband Experience Bonus

For every level 90 character you own, your Warband gains a 5% experience bonus, and this effect stacks! Multiple max-level characters can increase your new character's leveling speed by 15% or more.

Darkmoon Faire buff

If Darkmoon Faire is open, don't miss it! It provides a 10% experience boost buff. This buff stacks with Warband bonuses, reaching an astonishing 15% or even 25% or more! Remember to have the buff active before turning in the quest.

War Mode

War Mode provides a bonus to kills in the open world, so it's also recommended to start. You don't need to worry about being killed in PvP; at least at this stage, very few players will actively attack you. Furthermore, this XP bonus stacks with the Warband and Darkmoon Faire buffs.

If you're aiming for efficient leveling of your alts, using the method above, you might only need five or six hours to level one to 90. If your gear is good, this time will be even shorter.

While the official launch isn't until March 2nd, if you've secured early access through Epic Edition pre-order bundle, you can start playing WoW Midnight from February 26th!

Perhaps for game balance, not all content is available in early access, but if you want to quickly complete initial leveling or gold farming, WoW Midnight can fully meet your needs right now. You can even level up to max level immediately if you wish!

Below, we'll introduce some tips for leveling your character at this stage, allowing you to fully utilize the extra playtime advantage of early access!

Preparations

Even if you're a veteran of WoW series, you might not immediately adapt to the new Midnight expansion, potentially causing delays in leveling your character due to various details.

The most common issue is that your excitement and curiosity might lead you to explore the new zones, resulting in your inventory and quest log becoming cluttered with random loot and encounters.

Therefore, if you want to plan and execute a more organized leveling strategy, the first step is to clear your inventory and quest log. Sufficient inventory space allows you to store valuable items acquired during leveling, while an empty quest log makes it easier to find quests that provide XP.

In addition, we recommend farming some items that provide boosts in advance. For example, adjusting enchantments and gems to increase your speed will allow you to reach the next XP-providing quest location faster.

Based on this, common enchantments include:

• Scout's March on boots
• Chant of Armored Speed on bracers
• Chant of Burrowing Rapidity on cloaks

As for gems, you can equip one Elusive Blasphemite gem first, then get one of each color. This will roughly increase your total movement speed bonus by another 10%.

Of course, if obtaining these items is difficult at the beginning, you can wait until your character becomes stronger before refining your build. However, don't forget these tips while getting caught up in progress!

Focusing on the main quests

In most MMORPGs, one of the best ways to level up your character early on is by completing the main questline, and World of Warcraft Midnight is no exception. In this game, you can identify main quests by their shield icon.

These quests not only provide XP and other rewards but also guide you through the main storyline, gradually unlocking new zones. They can even help you upgrade gear you didn't have time to upgrade towards the end of The War Within.

As you progress through the main story, you'll unlock more side quests, but it's best not to rush through them (although they also reward XP), as side quests can sometimes require you to travel to more distant areas, delaying your main quest completion.

Choosing the best path

This tip is actually based on the previous one, as the main questline in the game is linear. You must start in Eversong Woods. After completing all the quests in that zone, choose one of three quests to complete:

• Arator's Journey
• Zul'Aman storyline
• Harandar storyline

You can choose based on your preference, such as choosing the last one because you're interested in Haranir race.

However, if you want to level up more efficiently, we recommend choosing Zul'Aman storyline, as there are more high-level monsters in the surrounding area.

In short, you can only proceed to the final zone, Voidstorm, after completing any intermediate quest.

Exploring the zones deeper

After completing all the main quests (the entire campaign) according to the two tips above, you shouldn't have enough XP to reach the level cap. At this point, you should explore the various zones more deeply, based on your preferences and distance.

Because completing the campaign unlocks all world quests and events, and the difficulty of other quests in all zones will automatically adjust based on your current level, allowing you to continue leveling by clearing them.

During this process, if you encounter rare elites, it's best to prioritize killing them. Besides a large amount of XP, these monsters also drop items that may be useful in the endgame, such as Coffer Key Shards - which can help you maximize dungeon rewards.

In addition to the four zones covered by the main quest, the game also features a rebuilt Silvermoon City. While it's the central city for all players, some central areas are only accessible to Horde players.

Completing Dungeons or Delves

During early access, all dungeons and Tier 1-7 Delves are available. If you're confident in your character's abilities after completing the campaign and have also finished the world events, you can try challenging them in a group.

The dungeons include two types: level-up and max-level. We recommend that you proceed according to your abilities:

Level-up Dungeons:

• Windrunner Spire
• Magister's Terrace
• Murder Row
• Den of Nalorakk

Max-level Dungeons:

• Maisara Caverns
• The Blinding Vale
• Voidscar Arena
• Nexus Point Xenas

As for Delves, they are a unique adventure mode that can be completed solo or in a party of up to four teammates. Currently available are:

• Twilight Crypts
• Atal'Aman
• The Grudge Pit
• The Gulf of Memory
• Collegiate Calamity
• The Shadow Enclave
• Den of Echoes
• Shadowguard Point
• Sunkiller Sanctum
• Torment's Rise

The remaining two Delves, The Darkway and Parhelion Plaza, will open on March 24th and 31st, respectively. Prior to that, on March 17th, Bountiful Delves gameplay will launch alongside Season 1 and Nemesis boss.

Upgrading your profession skill

The main purpose of learning and upgrading your profession skill in WoW series is to craft various items to earn gold or provide additional combat benefits. However, crafting recipes for the first time also grants a significant amount of XP.

Furthermore, you can also gain additional profession knowledge and skill points this way.

You can continue to upgrade your profession skill to gain XP, but this type of XP source is limited. Therefore, if you choose a crafting profession, it's best to utilize the extra XP before reaching the level cap.

These are the things you can currently do for your character's leveling. It's expected that there will be more ways to obtain XP after the full game launches, so it's best to complete as much content as possible during early access!
