WoW Midnight New World Event Prey Mode | Unlock the Final Mount Reward by Conquering All Difficulties!

Category: WoW Midnight Posted: Mar 02, 2026 Views: 1963

As the second chapter of World Soul Saga, WoW Midnight's full version is about to launch! While its main gameplay is similar to other new WoW servers released in the past two years, it also boasts several unique features.

For example, within the broader category of World Events, Midnight adds a brand-new built-in mode called Prey. While the overall difficulty of this event may not be as high as raids or high-level dungeons, you'll still need to understand the relevant information to better experience it.

Below, we'll provide you with information on how to unlock Prey mode, its gameplay, rewards, and other key content to help you progress through the event faster.

WoW Midnight New World Event Prey Mode | Unlock the Final Mount Reward by Conquering All Difficulties!

Prey mode overview

As part of WoW Midnight World Events, Prey is a systematic mechanism that releases quests of varying difficulty. Your task is to complete these quests to progress, unlocking rewards and the next level of challenge.

These quests typically require you to travel to certain zones of Quel'Thalas and defeat specific enemies. All missions are divided into three difficulty levels, but they are not all released at once:

  • After Early Access opens (February 26th): Normal Difficulty
  • After Full Release opens (March 2nd): Hard Difficulty
  • After Season 1 launches (March 17th): Nightmare Difficulty

If you haven't completed enough Normal Difficulty Prey challenges yet, don't worry. This guide should help you improve your progress quickly, provided you are familiar with the game's combat mechanics.

How to unlock this mode?

Unlocking this mode doesn't require any additional level or ability from your character. All you need to do is enter the core city, Silvermoon City, and find the key NPC, Astalor Bloodsworn.

After interacting with him, he will give you the questline Prey: Astalor's Initiative. After completing all the quests (the last one is To the Sanctum!), find Hunt Table in Astalor's Sanctum to unlock Prey mode - but only Normal Difficulty is included.

After unlocking, continue clicking on the table, and it will display the corresponding event map, listing the quests you can complete and their locations.

To unlock the later two difficulty levels, you need to wait for the corresponding opening time and level up your character to the maximum level of 90. After that, you can change the difficulty through Hunt Table in Astalor's Sanctum.

Hard and Nightmare difficulties will add more affixes to Prey mode. On top of that, you'll need to defeat more and more dangerous enemies, but the corresponding WoW Midnight gold rewards will also increase, and you can also obtain higher-level gear or Dawncrest.

How to complete Prey quests?

Prey quests don't directly indicate the location of the main enemy like other regular game quests. Instead, an Anguish Crystal will be added to your encounter list.

You need to complete enough prerequisite objectives within the corresponding zone until the crystal turns red and starts glowing. Then, the quest boss's location will be marked on the mini-map, allowing you to complete the entire Prey quest.

Optional prerequisite objectives include:

  • Complete other world quests
  • Find treasure
  • Defeat enough rare enemies and Remnants of Anguish
  • Find and disarm traps
  • Defend against ambushes and counterattack

What are Prey affixes?

Prey mode on Normal difficulty has a base affix, based on this, more affixes will be increased with difficulty. These affixes act as difficulty adjusters, making Prey quests more challenging:

  • Normal - Ambush: Targets may ambush you occasionally when you engage other enemies or trigger traps.
  • Hard - Torment: Astalor's artifact deals 2% damage to you, and this value increases as the event progresses.
  • Hard - Hunter's Momentum: Your event progress is reduced if you die within the current zone.
  • Hard - Seeping Gore: Gore may occasionally appear during combat and deal shadow damage to you.
  • Nightmare - Echo of Predation: A bloody spirit will periodically appear and stalk you; contact will deal shadow damage.
  • Nightmare - Bloody Command: Astalor may occasionally command you to kill enemies; failure will result in physical damage.

What are the rewards for Prey mode?

In completing specific Prey missions, in addition to the items that drop directly, you'll also earn Preyseeker's Journey Points to fill Prey: Season 1 Journey track. This track has ten levels, and each level unlocks a corresponding reward.

While the game doesn't limit how often you complete Prey missions, you only receive 1000 Preyseeker's Journey Points for the first four missions each week, and only 50 after that. Therefore, four times a week is sufficient.

Additionally, sometimes completing missions may reward you with a Preyseeker's Adventurer Chest. Opening it may yield the following loot:

  • Gear corresponding to the mission difficulty level
  • Preyseeker's Journey Points
  • Veteran Dawncrest
  • Tormented Tantalum

Besides progressing through Prey mode itself, completing missions will advance Great Vault world progress, unlocking rewards. The rarity of these rewards depends on Prey mission difficulty.

If you obtain Anguish-Scribed Runes, Anguish-Infused Runes, or Anguish-Permeated Runes while completing quests, you can exchange them for other specific currencies at Construct V'anore vendor and then trade them for rewards.

It's worth mentioning that if you defeat all the unique Prey targets on Nightmare difficulty, you can complete Prey: Nightmare Mode III and obtain the ultimate mount reward, Preyseeker's Nightmare.

Based on WoW Midnight's Player Housing system, Prey Mode also offers related rewards. Defeating bosses on Hard and Nightmare difficulties will reward you with Preyseeker Bust and Preyseeker Effigy as house decorations, respectively!

These are the main things to know about experiencing Prey Mode and obtaining rewards in World of Warcraft Midnight. A new week has begun, so get started completing quests and progressing through the events!
