WoW Midnight Gold

Clearing dungeons is one of the primary methods for farming various resources in WoW Midnight; these dungeons can be broadly categorized into standard dungeons and Mythic+ Dungeons.

A Mythic+ Dungeon does not refer to a single specific instance, but rather to a rotating pool of eight distinct dungeons that become available for you to challenge on a regular schedule.

Compared to standard dungeons, Mythic+ Dungeons impose various restrictions and modifiers to significantly increase their difficulty; naturally, the rewards for completing them are far more lucrative!

This system has now been live for nearly two months. Even though it presents a formidable challenge, it is high time to tackle it head-on! We have prepared this guide to provide you with the assistance you need.

Mythic+ Dungeon basic mechanics overview

The rotating lineup of Mythic+ Dungeons includes the following instances. The first four on the list are new additions introduced in WoW Midnight, while the latter four are drawn from other classic WoW expansions:

• Magister's Terrace
• Maisara Caverns
• Nexus-Point Xenas
• Windrunner Spire
• Algeth'ar Academy
• Seat of the Triumvirate
• Skyreach
• Pit of Saron

Regardless of which dungeon is currently in rotation, you can only enter as a pre-formed 5-player group (consisting of 1 Tank, 1 Healer, and 3 DPS). Furthermore, the difficulty level of the dungeon is determined by Keystone held by the group members.

Mythic+ Dungeons must be completed within a specific time limit. Additionally, beyond simply defeating the bosses, the group is required to clear a minimum number of trash mobs throughout the dungeon.

During combat, the current Mythic+ Dungeon will feature a specific set of affixes designed to further heighten the challenge. Various forms of loot, including WoW Midnight gold, are awarded only upon the successful completion of the entire dungeon run.

Moreover, the operation of Mythic+ Dungeon system is closely tied to the seasonal update cycle: the current season dictates the specific rotation of dungeons, the active affixes, player rating calculations, and the exclusive seasonal rewards available.

What is Keystone?

Keystone also known as Mythic Keystone, can be thought of as the key required to access a Mythic+ Dungeon.

In addition to granting access, Keystone determines which specific dungeon you will enter and at what difficulty level. It also provides a preview of the dungeon affixes you can expect to encounter during the run.

If you currently do not possess a Keystone, you can form a group with a player who does have one to complete a Level 0 Mythic+ Dungeon run. Upon defeating the final boss of that run, you will typically be awarded your very own Keystone.

As you participate in more Mythic+ Dungeons, you can acquire additional Keystones by completing runs or through rewards from Great Vault. Additionally, interacting with Keystone Vendor will grant you one free Keystone.

Upgrading your Keystone

The default level of Keystone you receive depends on the high-level Mythic+ Dungeon you completed during the previous week; if you did not complete any, Keystone you receive will be one level lower.

The higher Keystone level, the more dangerous the enemies you encounter within the dungeon become; however, the loot you obtain will also be of higher quality. Therefore, we encourage you to challenge higher levels.

To do this, you must first find ways to upgrade your Keystone. A common strategy is to complete Mythic+ Dungeons as quickly as possible; by doing so, a single successful run can raise your Keystone level by up to three levels.

Every Mythic+ Dungeon features a built-in timer. The specific time limit usually depends on the number of bosses within the dungeon: the more bosses there are, the more time you are allotted.

Based on this, the specific conditions for upgrading your Keystone level are as follows:

• Less than 20% of the time remaining: +1 level
• Less than 40% but more than 20% of the time remaining: +2 level
• More than 40% of the time remaining: +3 level

It is worth noting that starting from Keystone Level 12, if you successfully complete a Mythic+ Dungeon at that specific level, your Keystone will no longer drop in level thereafter, even if you subsequently fail a run.

This is, in effect, Resilient Keystones mechanism introduced by the game to prevent you from suffering accidental setbacks while operating at high-level tiers.

Furthermore, if you complete the final Mythic+ Dungeon at your current level, you will also unlock a corresponding achievement.

However, if you do not possess Resilient Keystones status, meaning you have not yet successfully completed a run at your current level, then even if you clear the dungeon, your Keystone level will be downgraded by one tier if you exceed the time limit.

Affix variations

The effects of affixes within each Mythic+ Dungeon are determined by both the current season mechanics and Keystone level. The primary impact of Keystone level itself is a proportional increase in the enemies' health and damage output.

As for the other random affix effects, they cease to change once Mythic+ Dungeon level exceeds 12. The maximum level cap is 15.

Mythic+ rating and rewards

In addition to standard loot drops, at the end of each season, you can earn additional rewards based on your overall Mythic+ rating. This rating is calculated based on the levels of the dungeons you have completed, as well as the completion times for those runs.

Generally speaking, every season features one Mythic+ Dungeon that is easier to complete than the others; you can focus your efforts on optimizing your clear speed for that specific dungeon.

Further details

Once your party roster is finalized, you cannot alter the lineup, nor may you leave the instance prematurely while progressing through a Mythic+ Dungeon; doing so will result in a penalty. Furthermore, you are prohibited from changing any character's gear setup during the run.

The above covers the fundamental mechanics you need to master when farming WoW Midnight Mythic+ Dungeon. As for the specific strategies required to clear the dungeon itself, you will need to consult the corresponding dungeon-specific guides!

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.
