Big Midnight Season 2 Dungeon Tuning on the 12.1 PTR

Greetings!

Midnight Season 2 dungeon testing continues on Tuesday, July 28th. The following dungeons are available for testing during this period:

• Altar of Fangs
• Murder Row
• Den of Nalorakk
• Voidscar Arena
• The Blinding Vale
• Temple of Sethraliss
• Kings’ Rest
• Ruby Life Pools

During the test period you’ll be able to acquire and customize Mythic Keystones by talking to the Keystone Vendor in Stormwind, Orgrimmar and Silvermoon. The nearby Dungeon Teleports NPC will assist you with transportation. This NPC will now also appear at the beginning of each dungeon on Mythic difficulty who can teleport players back to a capital city.

Provided that the items equipped on your character are at least item level 226, they will scale automatically to a higher level as needed to support Dungeon testing.
