Turbo Boost is Now Live!
We’re turning things up a notch during The War Within Season 3 with increased rewards and improvements to help you gear up your Warband with Turbo-Boost.
Mythic+ drop rates from Mythic+ dungeons and Manaforge Omega are greatly increased for Warband until Equipped gear. Valorstones may now be transferred across Warbands.
Fixer So’kir and Fixer So’tho will visit Dornogal to offer powerful weapons, trinkets, and cantrip items from Season 3 dungeons and Manaforge Omega in exchange for Puzzling Cartel Chips after adventurers have proved themselves worthy. Players will be able to earn a maximum of 9 Puzzling Cartel Chips per character.
All Mythic+ and raid weapons, trinkets, and cantrip items will be available for purchase with each item costing 3 Puzzling Cartel Chips.
Ethereal Voidsplinters may be earned in Mythic+ dungeons, Manaforge Omega, Delves, and rated PvP to fuel the Catalyst.
Good luck and we’ll see you in Azeroth!

How Midnight’s Upcoming Game Changes Will Impact Combat Addons
The journey to update World of Warcraft’s combat experience continues, with a focus on making gameplay more intuitive and approachable—without requiring addons. In the Midnight expansion, we’re working closely with addon authors and taking in community feedback to create a more streamlined and engaging combat experience for everyone.
As we approach the end of the first month of our Midnight alpha test, we would like to reflect on the conversation so far. The World of Warcraft development team shares the guiding principles behind these updates, focusing on ongoing customization and increased accessibility, whether players choose to use addons or not. More details can be found in our previously published article.
