Season 1 of World of Warcraft: Midnight launches tomorrow, bringing a wide range of new mounts, titles, and rewards. Alongside those incentives, players will also be able to unlock several new cosmetic items. In addition to defeating the final boss of each raid, players can earn trophy-style decor pieces that drop from the final encounter in all three raids.
Currently, several bosses in The Dreamrift, The Voidspire, and the upcoming March of Quel’Danas drop housing decor items. On top of those, each raid’s final boss appears to have a set of special trophies modeled after the encounter itself.
Each boss currently has three trophy variants: Argent, Aureate, and Gleaming. However, exactly how to acquire these remains unknown. The Gleaming version was previously tied to the Cutting Edge achievement on PTR. Thus, suggesting the trophies correspond to raid difficulty.
If that’s the case, the tiers could line up like this:
- Argent — Normal
- Aureate — Heroic
- Gleaming — Mythic
Raiders and housing enthusiasts are actively questioning if these trophies will only be available during Season 1 of Midnight, since their initial release ties them to an achievement. It remains unclear whether that restriction applies to all trophy versions or just the Gleaming variant.
Either way, it might be time to start clearing some space in your house; your next trophy cabinet could be filling up soon.
