The pre-event for World of Warcraft: Midnight is running. There are many rewards and a series of tasks to be completed.
In World of Warcraft, we are strongly approaching the release of the expansion Midnight. Only about a month left until we return to Quel’Thalas and must withstand Xal’atath’s assault on the Sunwell. To kick this off, there is – as with every expansion – a pre-event this time with exclusive rewards and a great opportunity to prepare characters for the upcoming add-on. We will reveal what you need to do during the event “Twilight Ascendancy” and what rewards are available.
In the Shadowlands, the cultists are attacking
What do you need to do during the pre-event? The capitals of the Alliance and Horde seem to once again be infiltrated by cultists serving the mysterious “Twilight Blade” and trying to recruit more people for their goals. You will fight alongside Grand Magister Rommath and Magister Umbric to put a stop to the cult.
After a short questline, you will head into the Shadowlands. There, the cult activities are already in full swing, and they are trying to increase the influence of the Void on Azeroth – a situation that you certainly cannot let stand.
With various weekly missions, world quests, and rare foes, there will be plenty of loot waiting for you if you keep the respective threats at bay. As usual, most players will be bustling around here in the coming weeks. The currency will be the “Insignias of the Twilight Blade,” which you can then exchange for various rewards at the vendor.
What rewards are available? The rewards can be found with the two NPCs Materialist Ophinell and Armor Smith Kalinovan, whom you can find in the large camp in the Shadowlands. You buy the rewards with the previously earned Insignias of the Twilight Blade. This includes:
- Catch-up gear with item level 121 (Champion 1/8)
- Tamed Skytear (mount)
- Strolchi, Ryay’Dhar, and Emerald Sporebite (pets)
- Wooden chair from Silvermoon, Enchanted candelabra of the Blood Elves, and Winged Chaise longue of the Sin’dorei (decorations)
- Arsenal: Weathered gear of the Shadowhammer (weapon transmogifications)
- Ensemble: Worn attire of the Shadowhammer cultist (transmog set)
- Strictly confidential training manual of the Twilight Blade (toy)
- Tabard of the Twilight Blade (tabard)
How long does the event run? The event runs until the launch of Midnight, that is, until March 3, 2026. So you have about 5 weeks to earn all the rewards, which should be more than enough to prepare one or the other character for the new expansion.
It is definitely worth stocking up on housing items, as you can also build fantastic homes, like the quirky house of Ticks.
