Let’s take a closer look at each addition.
New One-Boss Raid: The Unbinding of Kith’ix
Patch 12.1.5 adds a new raid, The Unbinding of Kith’ix. It features only one boss, Kith’ix, but offers excellent loot. Possible rewards include unique trinkets for each role that can significantly improve your performance. The table below shows which item levels will be available in the new raid.
| Lair Difficulty | Reward After Run | The Great Vault |
| Normal | 298 Champion 3/6 | 305 Hero 1/6 |
| Heroic | 311 Hero 3/6 | 318 Myth 1/6 |
| Mythic | 344 Myth 9/6 | 344 Myth 9/6 |
On Epiccarry’s website, you can find the Unbinding of Kith’ix Boost page with offers for each difficulty. Our professional boosters will help you clear the raid quickly and earn the rewards you want.
New Delve Mode: Labyrinth
Labyrinth is an advanced version of the Challenge Delve. This instance is much larger than a regular Delve and offers updated rewards. You can only obtain them during Midnight Season 2. You can see all available rewards for defeating Kindo’jan in the table below.
| Achievement | Objective | Reward |
The First Hash’ey | Defeat Kindo’jan within his Labyrinth | Loa-Blessed title |
| Let Me Solo Him: Kindo’jan | Defeat Kindo’Jan in the Labyrinth on Tier 11 without any other players in your party during Midnight Season 2 | Loa-Blessed Wayfarer mount |
| The Labyrinth of Kindo’jan: One-Champion Army | Defeat Kindo’jan in his Labyrinth without losing any lives on Tier 11 after completing all 9 chambers without any other players in your party during Midnight Season 2 | Lone Raider title |
As with a standard Delve Nemesis, defeating Kindo’jan on Tier 11 during the first week after the patch launches lets you earn the Fabled achievement and title. You can use Epiccarry’s Kindo’jan Challenge Boost to obtain any of the listed rewards.
New Outdoor Activity: Aqir Invasions
Aqir Invasions are a new open-world activity that appears once per hour in Eversong or Zul’Aman and lasts for 10 minutes. Each invasion features six scenario types: three combat-focused and three non-combat-focused. Combat scenarios can have one of eight possible affixes. Champions who band together will be rewarded for completing as many objectives as possible before the ten-minute window closes. You can find the list of possible affixes below.
| Affix | Description |
| Void Protection | Chance for an Aqir Voidweaver to appear, creating a protective barrier around all other Aqir. |
| Aqir Burrower | Several Aqir aggressively burrow through the area. They will knock anyone into the sky if they get close. |
| Void Sphere | Void Spheres move around the area to try to trap anyone within them. |
| Astalor’s Anguish | Astalor’s experiments continue. He has sent his Anguish Crystals to help, which will cause damage to the aqir and any adventurers caught in their blast. |
| Swarms! | All aqir enemies are replaced with swarms of smaller aqir. |
| Aqir Elites | All aqir enemies are replaced with fewer but more powerful aqir. |
| Void Infestation | Some aqir are infested with the void and will explode after a few seconds in combat, dealing damage to players and infecting other aqir. |
| Web Weavers | Chance for an Aqir Webweaver to spawn in. If their channel is not interrupted, they will cover a player in webs. |
Sporebearer Fungal Strider – Mount for the Richest Players
Exclusive to the Midnight expansion, wealthy players can purchase the unique Sporebearer Fungal Strider mount for 5,000,000 gold. It has 2 vendor slots; 2 vendors are available immediately after purchasing the mount, but you can expand the selection by spending additional gold. Here is the full list of available vendors:
- Mail Courier — Default
- Repairs — Default
- Transmogrifier — 500,000 gold
- Auctioneer — 1,500,000 gold
The mount purchase, new vendor unlocks, and active vendor changes can all be done from Showena inside The Den in Harandar. Epiccarry offers the Sporebearer Fungal Strider Boost to save you from farming gold and to provide the required amount instead.
