What to Do Before Midnight’s Launch: Here’s What’s Going Away After the Pre-Patch

Starym's Avatar by Starym

Blizzard have shared a post on what players should get done before Midnight arrives on March 2nd! From War Within raid achievements and mounts to dungeons (with a whole lot of Tazavesh), Delve Nemesis achievements and currencies, and of course the pre-patch event itself with its set of rewards, there’s a lot going away, and it’s going away soon!


As World of Warcraft: The War Within reaches its zenith, we’re getting ready to turn the page to the next chapter: Midnight. Before your adventure moves forward, now’s the perfect time to wrap up activities around Khaz Algar—especially those rewards and achievements that either go away or become much harder to earn once the expansion content update launches worldwide on March 2, 2026, at 3:00 pm PST.
