Horrific Visions

Quests
  • "Midnight: Legends of the Haranir" is no longer among the weekly activity choice selection options.
    • Developers’ notes: “Legends of the Haranir” quests are only completable once weekly per Warband, but this weekly activity was available to all characters. This change resolves a case where players who already completed their weekly Legends of the Haranir quest on one character would be prevented from completing the weekly activity on an alt.

The 12.0.5 Content Update Goes Live April 21
Originally Posted by Blizzard (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)
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.



Stave Off Void Assaults


The forces of the Void are vying for position and control amongst themselves in a bid for more power. As they seek every opportunity they can, attacks begin in the Eversong Woods and Zul’Aman zones.

Void Strike
  • Void Strikes take part in Eversong Woods or Zul’Aman on a weekly rotation. Once completed, a new one will begin in another part of the zone and continue to rotate through the zones.
Void Incursion
  • These larger scenarios occur when enough Void Strikes have been completed in the zones and will take the might of many of Azeroth’s champions to defeat them.


Disrupt Ritual Sites


Put a stop to rituals meant to empower the ambitions of power-hungry naga and Twilight’s Blade cultists in small one to five player instances. As you take on greater challenges, you’ll be able to receive greater rewards.

In Ritual Sites, you’ll choose some of the challenges you’ll face as you climb through the tiers. Players will also unlock Great Vault rewards for the World content row alongside Delves and Prey.

Players will earn Field Accolades from both Void Assaults and Ritual Sites as currency they can use to purchase Champion and Heroic quality gear and rewards.



Get a Leg Up With the Voidforge


Voidforge will provide new opportunities for players in Midnight to take their game further. You’ll help aid domanaar Decimus build a Voidforge to begin transmuting Nebulous Voidcores, which are transmutable into powerful equipment upon defeating powerful foes in Midnight Season 1 raids or completing Mythic+ dungeons, and Bountiful Delves and Prey Hunts on Nightmare difficulty.

After unlocking the Voidforge, Decimus will require additional assistance to craft the Ascendant Nilhammer, allowing players to upgrade their weapons and trinkets to new heights by collecting Ascendant Voidcores.



Hide or Seek With Decor Duels


Amidst all the danger that swirls above Azeroth, there’s something to be said about having a little fun. Players can join in a team vs team hide-and-seek style game taking place in Silvermoon City through the Group Finder Tool (PvP tab) to either hide as various Housing decor items or seek out those who have donned the guise of an item. You’ll earn new rewards, including a mount, toys, and Housing decor, through this bite-sized event.



New Activity: Abyss Anglers


Dive deep into the shimmering waters off Zul'Aman's rugged coast, where schools of exotic fish swarm just beneath the surface in a new repeatable event—Abyss Anglers. Team up to spear as many as you can and rack up points to unlock fishing rewards and upgrades to your diver gear, allowing you to venture deeper into the abyss where the greatest treasures await.

Seek out Depthdiver Jeju to suit up and enter the Depths. Zip through whirlpools, catch creatures with your harpoon, and discover treasures amidst the underwater steam vents.

Prove your mastery to earn dive equipment upgrades and cosmetics.



More adventures are calling you home.

New Venthyr-Themed Mount Added to the Titan Reforged Realm
A new venthyr-themed mount has been added to the Titan Reforged realm in China. While nothing is currently known about it, it's unusual to see a Shadowlands-themed collectible on that server, since the content is limited to WoW Classic, The Burning Crusade and Wrath of the Lich King.




Thanks to MrGM for the images!

How to earn the WoW Esports Toy in Midnight Season 1
The Mythic Dungeon International (MDI) and Arena World Championship (AWC) tournaments for Midnight Season 1 are starting soon! Here's how to sign up and participate in the tournaments to unlock the Umbral Champion's Illustrious Banner.



How to sign up for AWC and MDI in Midnight Season 1
Registrations for the Arena World Championship and Mythic Dungeon International tournaments are done through the Raider.IO website:

Shortly after registrations close, all teams receive access to the Tournament Realms.


On these realms, you'll be able to create and customize characters with gear, enchants and gems provided by the local vendors in Silvermoon City.



Mythic Dungeon International - Tournament Info
Once the Mythic Dungeon International tournament begins on April 15, you can take the Time Trial Keystones from the Trialmaster in Silvermoon City.

Toy Reward
The reward for completing the Time Trial Keystones within the time limit is the Umbral Champion's Illustrious Banner.


Arena World Championship - Tournament Info
One hour before the cup starts, the team leader must check in on the Raider.IO website to confirm participation. Once the Open Bracket is generated, you'll be able to see your matchups. To find your opponents, look for them in-game in the /general chat or on the AWC Discord.

How to start a Wargame
To start a Wargame, it's highly recommended to use the addon WarGameHelper.

  • Type /wg to open the interface.
  • Select your enemy from the friends list and click "Update", or target them in game.
  • Choose Nagrand Arena as the starting map.
  • Make sure the tournament rules are enabled.
  • Click "Start War Game" to begin the match.

The first map of every match must be Nagrand Arena, with the losing team choosing the map for each subsequent round. For more information about team composition, map pool and game series format, check the official rules.

Toy Reward
Since the tournament follows a double elimination format, a minimum of two matches must be played to count towards participation for the banner. The reward for participating in any of the AWC cups is the Umbral Champion's Illustrious Banner, the same reward for completing the Time Trial Keystones within the time limit.
