Blizzard has dropped a preview of the Arcantina, a new tavern available to both factions in the Midnight expansion.
What’s So Special About It?
The Arcantina is a cross-faction tavern that serves as a new hangout and rewards hub in Midnight. You will complete quests here from rotating quest givers and unlock rewards for both the Arcantina and your player housing.
How to Unlock the Arcantina in Midnight?
To gain access to the Arcantina, you must progress through the new Arator’s Journey questline to receive
Key to the Arcantina. Afterwards, you can visit the Arcantina any time using a new toy called
Personal Key to the Arcantina.
Official Preview
Blizzard’s dropped a blog post with an official preview of the feature that you can read below.
Initially introduced in the Seasons comic, the Arcantina has become a not-so-secret haven for both Horde and Alliance. Within its cozy walls, the tavern teems with life; upbeat music drifts through the air, laughter rings out between friends, and old adventures are fondly recalled over shared drinks. Where the Void is bleak and cold, the Arcantina stands as its opposite—a warm spark in the heart of every patron. This is a place to rest, to gather, and to soak in the atmosphere of a bustling watering hole. Whether you’re stopping in to unwind after a long journey or simply spending a little downtime with friends, the Arcantina offers a welcome pause from the road.
Yet even here, adventure finds you. Familiar faces stop by from time to time, offering quests or a story to share. Whether you’re venturing out into Azeroth in search of relics of the past, lending a helping hand, or simply spending a little downtime with a few friends, there’s a little something for everyone.
Check back frequently, as the Arcantina often sees quest givers alongside a handful of other visitors with gossip and rumors to share—you never know who you’ll see next. Complete their tasks to earn rewards that add a well-traveled charm to both the Arcantina itself and a coordinating set of decor for your home.
How to Get There
To gain access to the Arcantina, you’ll first need to complete the Arator’s Journey questline up to the quest, “The Arcantina” from Kurdran Wildhammer. You receive a temporary key for your first visit, but upon completing the quest, you’ll receive the Personal Key to the Arcantina toy to add to your collection. Forged from the remnants of Dalaran, it can return you to (and back from) the Arcantina. So, stop by whenever you need respite from the endless fight against Xal’atath and her sleepless army.
Whether you’re there to unwind and reconnect with old friends or learn from historic stories—the best tavern not of this world is only one turn of a key away!
