Ascendant Venomstones<\/a> are the Midnight 12.1.5 currency that raises the item level of fully upgraded Season 2 Hero, Myth, or maximum-quality Tidal Crafted weapons, trinkets, and necklaces. You unlock them by finishing the Orin Straylight<\/a> quest chain, which starts with "Ancient Depths, Ancient Venom" during the week of October 13<\/strong> and ends with "Ascending with Venomstones" during the week of October 20. The 12.1.5 content update itself goes live October 13 with weekly maintenance.<\/p>\n

How to unlock Ascendant Venomstones<\/h2>\n

The chain runs through Orin Straylight<\/a> in Silvermoon City<\/a> and takes three weekly steps:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. During realm maintenance the week of October 6, Orin begins offering one additional Nebulous Voidcore<\/a> a week to bonus roll for extra loot.<\/li>\n
  2. During realm maintenance the week of October 13, Orin offers "Ancient Depths, Ancient Venom". Once you complete it, he starts his research into Ascendant Venomstones<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  3. During realm maintenance the week of October 20, Orin finishes that research and offers "Ascending with Venomstones".<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Completing "Ascending with Venomstones" is what lets you acquire Ascendant Venomstones<\/a> as drops.<\/p>\n

    How to prepare during the October 6 mid-season refresh<\/h2>\n
