New Demon Hunter Specialization: Devourer
Demon Hunters gain a third specialization, Devourer, harnessing the Void as a mid-range, glaive-wielding spellcaster with high mobility and devastating combo attacks.



Void Elf Demon Hunters
Players can unlock Void Elf Demon Hunters by completing a short quest line as a part of the Midnight pre-expansion content update.



User Interface Updates
The User Interface is getting new tools that let players customize Nameplates, Damage Meters and Boss Alerts directly in the base game, without the need for third-party addons.



Transmog Updates
The transmog system is overhauled in Midnight, letting players save outfits, style multiple looks and dress for the moment anywhere in Azeroth.



Player vs. Player Training Grounds
Training Grounds is a new mode where players learn PvP fundamentals in guided battlegrounds, facing smart game-controlled opponents in Arathi Basin, Silvershard Mines and Battle for Gilneas.



Housing Updates
Midnight introduces Endeavors as monthly, neighborhood-wide activities where residents collectively complete themed tasks to unlock special vendors, decorations and Community Coupons.

The five initial Endeavors that players will experience are:

• Friend of the Grummles
• Reaching Beyond the Possible
• Moderate Mechanization
• Consortium Consternation
• Smell Sensation

Night Elf and Blood Elf architecture also arrives in the Midnight Pre-Patch! Alliance players can now design their houses with iconic Night Elf moonlit stonework and purple-hued wooden structures, and Horde players can add Blood Elf elegance with Silvermoon-inspired options of golden trim and red crystal accents to their homes.



New Mount Collection Reward
Midnight brings a new collection achievement that requires obtaining 600 mounts on a single character. The reward for completing this achievement is Anu'shalla, Shadow's Guidance, a void-themed owl reminiscent of Anu'relos, Flame's Guidance from Amirdrassil.
