Midnight Season 1 Dungeon Tuning and Testing, December 10th

Greetings!

Midnight Season 1 dungeon testing continues on Wednesday, December 10 at 4:00 p.m. PST (7:00 p.m. EDT / 1:00 a.m. CEST) and runs until Tuesday, December 16 at 10:00 a.m. PST (1:00 p.m. EDT / 7:00 p.m. CEST). Please note that this schedule may be adjusted if we encounter any technical issues during testing.

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.Throughout beta, all Midnight dungeons will be available for testing on Normal and Heroic difficulty. Seasonal dungeons will rotate with each new test period.

For this round, the following seasonal dungeons will be open for testing on Heroic, Mythic and Mythic+ difficulty:

• Pit of Saron
• Skyreach
• Seat of the Triumvirate
• Algeth’ar Academy

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.
