The 12.0.5 Content Update Goes Live April 21
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.
Learn about all these features, and more, when you read through our content update overview.
Face New Challenges and Disrupt Ritual Sites in 12.0.5
Whether you’re going it solo, or gathering allies to join you, a new challenge awaits at the Ritual Sites in Eversong Woods and Zul’Aman. You’ll put a stop to rituals of power-hungry naga and Twilight’s Blade cultists in small one-to-five-player instances and face new challenges for new rewards.
Ritual Sites introduce new repeatable instanced content similar to Delves, designed for flexible group sizes and allowing one to five players. Each offers escalating challenges in a bid for the heroes of the Alliance and Horde to disrupt the rituals of the naga in Eversong Woods or the Twilight’s Blade cultists in Zul’Aman.
As with Delves and Prey, players will unlock Great Vault rewards in the World content row. Only you can determine what challenges you’ll undertake and which rewards you’ll choose to claim as your own. Ritual Sites are available in the 12.0.5 content update, and you can learn more about them in our previously published article.
Mobilize Your Allies and Thwart Incoming Void Assaults
The forces of the Void are vying for position and control amongst themselves in a grasp for more power. As they seek every opportunity they can, attacks begin in the Eversong Woods and Zul’Aman zones.
In the 12.0.5 content update, players can push back against the Void as they begin powerful Void Strikes and Void Incursions in Eversong Woods and Zul’Aman— for Azeroth, for fun, and for new rewards. Everything you need to know can be found in our Void Assaults overview.
Power Up with the Voidforge
Help aid domanaar Decimus to build a Voidforge to begin transmuting Nebulous Voidcores, which are transmutable into empowered equipment upon defeating foes in Midnight Season 1 raids or completing Mythic+ dungeons, Bountiful Delves, and Prey Hunts on Nightmare difficulty. Once the Voidforge is constructed, you’ll also assist him in crafting the Ascendant Nilhammer to transmute Ascendant Voidcores to empower worthy equipment.
Domanaar Decimus may have ulterior motives, but you’ll want to take advantage of the Voidforge to enhance your adventures. Unearth the details in our previously published article.
Hunt or be Hunted in Decor Duels
Lift your spirits and take a break from all the serious threats the Void and their agents present with a little team vs team hide-and-seek in the 12.0.5 content update. Don the guise of a random Decor Item or seek them out in this fast-paced duel for fun—and some new rewards.
Amidst all the danger that swirls above Azeroth, there’s something to be said about having a little fun. Join in a team vs team hide-and-seek style game taking place in Silvermoon City (Midnight). Previously announced in the State of Azeroth, this fast-paced player vs. player activity puts you right in the thick of it whether you’re a harmless cheese platter or some other seemingly innocuous item.
No matter your level, it’s an even playing field once the match begins in this 5v5 matchup.
You might not defeat the Void and save Azeroth by taking part in this event, but it’s a great way to find a bit of fun in the face of danger. Learn more from our overview, and maybe we’ll see you…or maybe not… in Decor Duels.
