Midnight world event timers and weekly rewards

Use this part of the WoW world event calendar to plan repeat visits: Midnight’s outdoor World Events generally target maximum-level characters, and some have additional Renown requirements.

Abundance

At level 90, speak to Dundun inside an Abundance cavern to begin a three-minute treasure run; ordinary runs are repeatable without a limit. Loot enemies and mine special nodes, then deposit your haul at Dundun’s altars before time expires, because unbanked treasure disappears when you are teleported out.

Deposits improve your carrying capacity, while Dundun’s blessing increases movement speed, primary stat and treasure pickup radius. Bank frequently rather than risking a full load at the end.

ZoneAbundance cave coordinates
Eversong Woods56.7, 65.7.
Zul’Aman31.6, 26.0.
Harandar66.1, 61.6.
Voidstorm38.9, 53.3.

Abundant Harvest is the special cave rotation that changes every eight hours, and it allows you to empower a run with a Shard of Dundun. Abundant Harvests are excluded from the zone hosting that week’s active World Boss.

You can obtain up to eight Shards of Dundun weekly through outdoor activities, gathering and Patron Crafting Orders. Empowered runs award Unalloyed Abundance, with the amount tied to treasure collected, and Chel the Chip exchanges it for rewards at cave entrances.

The weekly objective requires 20,000 cumulative points and awards an Overflowing Abundant Satchel plus 1,000 Amani Tribe reputation. Once one character finishes the introductory tutorial, Abundance becomes available across the Warband.

Chel’s rewards include profession knowledge, transmog, housing decor and the Amani Sunfeather and Blessed Amani Burrower mounts.

Saltheril’s Soiree

Unlock World Quests and reach level 90 before collecting Saltheril’s Haven from Jonas Everdawn in Silvermoon City. Find him north of the Sanctum of Light, follow the introduction to Lord Saltheril in Eversong Woods, and complete Honored Guests and High Esteem to open the event.

Choose a weekly allegiance from the Blood Knights, Farstriders, Magisters or Shades of the Row. Each has six reputation ranks requiring 500 reputation apiece, and invitations can improve your standing with some groups while reducing it with others.

Weekly objectiveRewards and use
Fortify the RunestonesSurplus Bag of Party Favors, 150 Brimming Arcana, 300 reputation with your selected subfaction and 2,000 Silvermoon Court reputation.
Favor of the CourtThree Saltheril’s Favor, each usable to unlock another subfaction weekly quest.
Favor-unlocked quests25 Latent Arcana, Brimming Arcana, 100 selected-subfaction reputation and 35 Coffer Key Shards per quest.
Cleaning and entertainment bonus objectiveBrimming Arcana.

Gather Latent Arcana from quests and objects to empower the five Runestones; filling a stone’s progress bar triggers a Void attack that you must defend against for the main weekly objective.

RunestoneEversong Woods coordinates
Elrendar River39.2, 56.8.
Dawnstar Spire61.8, 61.8.
Sunstrider Isle40.5, 13.6.
Ath’ran42.6, 60.4.
Sanctum of the Moon41.1, 73.8.

Spend Brimming Arcana on cosmetic appearances, decor and crafting recipes from the Court and subfaction quartermasters; the event vendors gather in the pavilion at Saltheril’s Haven, 43.4, 47.5. Reaching maximum reputation with all four subfactions earns Life of the Party and the Umbral Dragonhawk mount.

Legends of the Haranir

At level 90, collect Lost Legends at the Den in Harandar and choose one of seven Hara’ti relics to experience its history through a scenario. Zur’ashar Kassameh stands at 54.2, 53.0, and your relic selection applies across the Warband.

The event has an account-wide weekly lockout, so plan around one completion rather than repeating it on alts. Your reward is an Avid Learner’s Supply Pack that counts as a Midnight Weekly Cache, 1,000 Hara’ti reputation and decor tied to the selected relic. Maku at the Den sells additional copies after you complete the corresponding weekly quest.

Stormarion Assault

Stormarion Assault starts every 30 minutes at Stormarion Citadel in Voidstorm, around 26.4, 67.6, and requires level 90. A full event takes approximately 15 minutes.

  1. Use the opening five minutes to assemble defenses around the arena.
  2. Stop three enemy waves from reaching the Singularity Anchor; each enemy that reaches it consumes one of its 100 health.
  3. Use the one-minute breaks between waves to finish stragglers and replace defenses, keeping the Anchor above zero health throughout.

Each placed defense costs 10 Stormarion Cores, obtained from nearby quests, chests and successful assaults. Xy’dax also sells consumable defense tools inside the arena.

ToolCost and effect
Cracked Core10 Cores for one; grants 20% movement speed and 20% damage reduction for two minutes.
Unstable Explosive Device10 Cores for five; deals area Cosmic damage and stuns for one second.
Illegal Cosmic Emitter30 Cores for one; channels increasing Cosmic damage into an enemy.

Complete Stand Your Ground by successfully defending the Citadel to receive a Victorious Stormarion Pinnacle Cache.

Prey

Visit Astalor Bloodsworn in Murder Row, Silvermoon City, to activate Prey and inspect its rewards. The system lets you choose a hunting difficulty and pursue targets across Midnight’s zones for achievements, transmog, mounts, decor and Great Vault credit.

Choose your difficulty around the kind of session you want, then make room for the hunt alongside your scheduled events.

Amani Windcallers provide transport and temporary concealment from hostile creatures, with more travel points becoming available as you progress.

Use Corrosive Coins at the Amani Foothold's Altar of Corrosion to build a talent tree that boosts fighting, mobility, exploration and rewards across the Coiled Isle. Its progression also unlocks increasing Corrosive Coin bonuses, and you can return to change talents.

The separate Corrosive Codex starts with Corrosive Gifts: Corrosive Power, which requires the Codex of the Soul Coilers item. Spend Corrosive Souls to unlock powers in your preferred order; after unlocking eight, you can activate two simultaneously.

Codex powers work in Midnight outdoor zones and Delves, where an altar projection lets you switch your selection at the beginning. Sources of Corrosive Souls include Vault activities and bosses, Curse Surges, Ral’Kala, Nymrissa Wavecaller, Bountiful Delves and Prey Hunts.

The Skull of Er’inye exchanges Corrosive Coins for collectibles and recipes.

Cursed Fishing and Captain Tokka

Curse Surges rotate among five Coiled Isle locations, ending in a rare elite encounter whose defeat opens a Cursed Fishing pool at that spot.

Meet Captain Tokka at Tokka’s Landing to learn Cursed Fishing and build friendship through daily quests, unusual artifacts and encounters with spirits from his past. Progress opens fishing in venom and inside the Vaults, with a later voyage against Nageressies, the Great White Serpent.

Midnight fish contribute up to 100 points each to your Anglin’ Score; reaching 2,500 awards The Briny Best and the Briny title.

Zul’jarra’s Forces Renown adds further reasons to return: rank 4 gives your first daily Curse Surge boss a Corrosive Soul drop chance, rank 8 adds a daily Warbound Veteran equipment chance from Surge bosses, and rank 10 opens Du’gal’s Spirit of Tok’jara mount questline.

Lairs and The Tidebound Grotto

At level 90, swim beneath the Coiled Isle to enter The Tidebound Grotto and face Nymrissa Wavecaller. World difficulty opened during the week of August 11, followed by Normal, Heroic and Mythic during the week of August 18.

Difficulty formatGroup handling
WorldEnter directly and let the instance fill automatically; the boss scales for 5–40 players.
Normal, Heroic and MythicBring an organized group; Mythic is listed as 15–25, and Lairs scale on every difficulty to fit groups of different sizes.

World difficulty begins with an elite-clearing stage while more participants arrive, followed by the boss encounter. For a premade group, the leader selects the difficulty and enters before everyone else; a Summoning Stone stands outside the instance.

Victories award gear, with higher difficulties offering stronger rewards, and achievements cover any-difficulty, Heroic, Mythic and guild-group kills.

Other Midnight outdoor activities

Abyss Anglers

Find Depthdiver Jeju off eastern Zul’Aman to begin diving with the Abyss Anglers. Start with full oxygen, spear fish, discover sea creatures and recover underwater treasure to build your score; equipment upgrades let you explore farther.

Successful dives award Angler Pearls for armor appearances, pets, housing decor and a fish-shaped mace.

Void Assaults

Void Assaults take place in Eversong Woods and Zul’Aman and award Field Accolades for Void-themed mounts, pets, decor and recolored Tier 2 remaster appearances.

Smaller Void Strikes can be tackled alone or with a few companions, and clearing one starts another elsewhere in the same zone. Completing Strikes fills the Incursion progress bar; at 100%, a larger Void Incursion begins at its marked location and calls for a bigger group.

Showdown zones

Speak with Riftblade Maella in Silvermoon City to begin the introduction, then use the portal at Howling Reach in Voidstorm. Val and Naigtal alternate weekly, with one world boss in each area across the rotation.

Choose Normal or Heroic when entering; both offer World Quests, events, rares and treasure, while Heroic increases Field Accolade rewards.

Reward sourceNormal versus Heroic
Rare enemiesChance at Warband gear: Champion 1/6 on Normal or Champion 4/6 on Heroic.
The area’s world bossA Champion item for your Warband on Normal or a Heroic item on Heroic.
Showdown on Val or Showdown on NaigtalA Riftstalker’s Cache containing Field Accolades, Relic Coffer Key shards, upgrade materials, gold and other rewards.

Showdowns contribute to the World row of the Great Vault. The introductory quests also award a Lightveil Recall Beacon that returns you to the active Umbral Base Camp on a 15-minute cooldown.

Fieldsmith Ventem sells Response Team weapon appearances for 60 Field Accolades and 500 Voidlight Marl each, with armor and back appearances costing 30 Accolades and 300 Marl each. Zuronar offers more cosmetics and housing decor, including the Arsenal: Lightforged Armaments for 60 Accolades and 500 Marl.

Use the WoW Midnight Patch 12.0.7 Revelations guide for a dedicated look at Showdowns.

World Bosses

Midnight’s four original zones each have a World Boss, with weekly kills offering Champion-quality loot. Imperator Pertinax and Nexus-Captain Leth’ir are the additional bosses associated with the Showdown areas.

It Takes Two

Start It Takes Two to help Loa Speaker Brek prepare for Jan’alai’s hatchlings in Zul’Aman. The short questline rewards Emberlyn, a Dragonhawk hatchling pet.

Talebound belongs to Midnight’s Echoes of the Worldcore update. The separate World of Warcraft: Forever launch is scheduled for November 4 at 3 p.m. PST.

Planning holiday achievements and mount attempts

Make a short checklist of the collectibles you want, then set aside time for their event windows before adding optional activities.

Darkmoon Prize Tickets come from Faire activities and pay for rewards including mounts, pets, toys and transmog. Profession quests and daily activities provide additional tickets.

For longer achievement projects, the Full World Events Achievements Bundle takes the holiday achievement work off your hands.

Brewfest mount luck can turn a difficult hunt into a quick success in some players’ experience.

Got the brewfest mount first try. Never had that happened before.

— one player

Holiday weeks, including Brewfest, feel dull and barely changed over roughly 18 years to a few players.
