Midnight: Your Ultimate Daily and Weekly To-Do List Guide
This guide provides a to-do list for Midnight, covering the expansion launch and beyond. It is updated weekly with the latest daily and weekly goals to help you optimize your gameplay experience.
Introduction
With each new patch, it can be overwhelming to keep up with everything the game has to offer. To help you stay focused and get the most out of your gameplay time, we have put together a to-do list highlighting the key objectives you should prioritize.
To-Do Lists by Week
Early Access Week
If you purchased the Midnight Epic Edition, you have access to the Midnight expansion 3 days early, on February 26 at 3 pm PST. The following lists detail the daily and weekly goals you should aim for if you are playing in Early Access.
The following to-do lists apply to the Early Access launch, the week of February 26th, 2026:
Daily Goals
- Gather your Leveling Consumables and have them prepared in your Warband Bank for launch.
- On launch, log in to anything you hope to level quickly, to ensure those characters begin gaining rested experience.
- Start your leveling journey on your first character. Plan to level everything important this week, in order to ensure you can complete Dungeon World Tours on them next week!
- AVOID side-quests and only follow the main storylines until SUNDAY, when Darkmoon Faire is available. This way you'll be able to earn extra renown reputation for doing those side-quests later!
Weekly Goals
- Complete any Weekly World Events, if available.
- Begin your Prey journey, if available.
