Midnight’s first content patch arrives this week and we have the official preview!
Blizzard have both a video and written look at the patch ahead, as well as the full content notes detailing the massive class tuning pass. We have the four new activities players can take part in, with plenty of new rewards in all of them. Void Assaults start with Strikes in one of two zones, finishing with Incursion scenarios. Ritual Sites are a new Delve-like activity for 1 to 5 players, which will give you World tier progress in the Great Vault. The Decor Duels see players go head-to-head and hide as housing decor as the other team tries to find you! And finally, the Abyss Anglers event sees players go deep as they spear fish in Zul’Aman! And then there’s the Voidforge, which will upgrade players’ gear in new ways, Turbo Boost-style.
Engage in new activities, experience more of the story in Midnight, and earn more loot as the efforts to push back the forces of the Void and their agents continue. You’ll undertake new Void Assaults, disrupt powerful Ritual Sites, get a boost with Voidforge, group up for Decor Duels, and more.
Stave Off Void Assaults
The forces of the Void are vying for position and control amongst themselves in a bid for more power. As they seek every opportunity they can, attacks begin in the Eversong Woods and Zul’Aman zones. [Learn More]
Void Strike
- Void Strikes take part in Eversong Woods or Zul’Aman on a weekly rotation. Once completed, a new one will begin in another part of the zone and continue to rotate through the zones.
Void Incursion
- These larger scenarios occur when enough Void Strikes have been completed in the zones and will take the might of many of Azeroth’s champions to defeat them.
Disrupt Ritual Sites
Put a stop to rituals meant to empower the ambitions of power-hungry naga and Twilight’s Blade cultists in small one to five player instances. As you take on greater challenges, you’ll be able to receive greater rewards.
In Ritual Sites, you’ll choose some of the challenges you’ll face as you climb through the tiers. Players will also unlock Great Vault rewards for the World content row alongside Delves and Prey.
Players will earn Field Accolades from both Void Assaults and Ritual Sites as currency they can use to purchase Champion and Heroic quality gear and rewards. [Learn More]
Get a Leg Up With the Voidforge
Voidforge will provide new opportunities for players in Midnight to take their game further. You’ll help aid domanaar Decimus build a Voidforge to begin transmuting Nebulous Voidcores, which are transmutable into powerful equipment upon defeating powerful foes in Midnight Season 1 raids or completing Mythic+ dungeons, and Bountiful Delves and Prey Hunts on Nightmare difficulty.
After unlocking the Voidforge, Decimus will require additional assistance to craft the Ascendant Nilhammer, allowing players to upgrade their weapons and trinkets to new heights by collecting Ascendant Voidcores. [Learn More]
Hide or Seek With Decor Duels
Amidst all the danger that swirls above Azeroth, there’s something to be said about having a little fun. Players can join in a team vs team hide-and-seek style game taking place in Silvermoon City through the Group Finder Tool (PvP tab) to either hide as various Housing decor items or seek out those who have donned the guise of an item. You’ll earn new rewards, including a mount, toys, and Housing decor, through this bite-sized event. [Learn More]
New Activity: Abyss Anglers
Dive deep into the shimmering waters off Zul’Aman’s rugged coast, where schools of exotic fish swarm just beneath the surface in a new repeatable event—Abyss Anglers. Team up to spear as many as you can and rack up points to unlock fishing rewards and upgrades to your diver gear, allowing you to venture deeper into the abyss where the greatest treasures await.
Seek out Depthdiver Jeju to suit up and enter the Depths. Zip through whirlpools, catch creatures with your harpoon, and discover treasures amidst the underwater steam vents.
Prove your mastery to earn dive equipment upgrades and cosmetics.
New Mythic+ Dungeon Feature and Achievements
New Feature Lindormi’s Glow
Lindormi’s Glow highlights select enemy forces even when the Lindormi’s Guidance affix is inactive. Defeating all highlighted enemies will complete the enemy forces requirement for a Keystone Dungeon.
