12.1.5 Content Update Notes

Midnight’s 12.1.5 content update brings the Labyrinth of Kindo’jan—a massive nine-chamber Delve-like challenge, a new single-boss raid, Season 2's mid-season refresh, the continuation of the Midnight saga in Quel’Thalas and Zul’Aman, Aqir Invasions, and more.

STORY CAMPAIGN: "THE PROMISE OF TOMORROW"

Ula'tek's defeat has awoken a long-slumbering terror. Temper an uneasy peace between Quel'Thalas and Zul‘Aman, descend to the deepest depths of the Coiled Isle, and make a final stand against the Amani's ancient foe—the C'Thraxxi general, Kith'ix.

NEW SINGLE-BOSS RAID: THE UNBINDING OF KITH'IX

Hidden beneath the Venomous Abyss, Kith’ix was bound in his subterranean lair. With Ula’tek’s defeat, the restraints keeping Kith’ix at bay have weakened, unleashing the monstrosity the Amani locked away so long ago.

Confront Kith’ix with Lady Liadrin at your side in a focused single-boss raid that brings the campaign’s escalating threat to a decisive confrontation, with Story Mode, Raid Finder, Normal, Heroic, and Mythic difficulties. On Mythic difficulty, face Kith’ix with a flexible group of 15–25 players.

Gather your allies and prepare for a battle that brings the story of Quel’Thalas and Zul’Aman to a close.

LABYRINTHS: CONQUER THE DEPTHS TO CLAIM THE REWARDS

This ancient Amani funeral complex has been sealed for centuries. Now reopened, looters and Vilebranch comb the complex for relics while the interred spirits defend it with deadly force.

Love Delves but want a massive adventure with greater reward? Then the Labyrinth of Kindo’jan is for you.

While keeping the spirit of exploration, discovery, and overcoming challenges alongside a companion, a Labyrinth is a sprawling, mega-dungeon-like experience designed to be conquered on your terms, with dedicated progression systems, powerful unlocks, and rewards that match the scale of the challenge, including Mythic gear.

Like Delves, the Labyrinth of Kindo’jan will send you into danger with a trusted companion, Valeera Sanguinar, to guide you deeper into the unknown.

Venture through a Labyrinth in a single epic session or tackle it one wing at a time. You can explore a single wing and still earn rewards, but each additional room completed brings more opportunities to claim treasure—and more risks to overcome.

Charge into Aqir Invasions—new zone-wide public events taking place in Eversong or Zul’Aman. For ten minutes each hour, champions will tackle a series of public events across the zone, one after another, before confronting an intense boss fight.

Whether you’re fending off aerial assaults or rallying defenders on the ground, the Aqir forces won’t stand a chance against the champions of Azeroth.

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.

MID-SEASON REFRESH: UNLOCK NEW POWER

During realm maintenance the week of October 6, Orin Straylight will begin to offer one additional Nebulous Voidcore a week to bonus roll for additional loot.

Prepare to unlock these additional Nebulous Voidcores before Midnight’s 12.1.5 content update goes live. First, accept the "In the Catalyst's Shadow" quest from Decimus in Voidstorm, then travel to Silvermoon City and pick up the “Prismatic Potential” quest from Orin Straylight. To get an early start on the Nebulous Voidcore quest chain, we encourage Azeroth’s brave champions to complete both quests before weekly maintenance during the week of October 6.

Once “Prismatic Potential” is turned in, Orin can begin his research, and a progress timer will appear above his head. After completing his research during the week of October 6, he will offer the quest "Umbral Blessings of the Catalyst". Completing this quest will unlock the ability to trade in gold, Voidlight Marl, or Veteran Mistcrests to Orin for one additional Nebulous Voidcore a week.

During realm maintenance the week of October 13, Orin will offer the quest, "Ancient Depths, Ancient Venom". Once this quest is complete, Orin will begin his next research of Ascendant Venomstones. Orin will complete his research during realm maintenance the week of October 20 and offer players "Ascending with Venomstones", letting players take their power to new heights. Completing this quest will empower defenders of the realm to acquire Ascendant Venomstones, which drop from every Heroic or Mythic raid boss, Mythic+ Keystone dungeons at +10 and above, Tier 11 Bountiful Delves, and Nightmare Prey Hunt Champion gear chests.

After collecting 10 Ascendant Venomstones, use them near the Catalyst in Silvermoon City to raise the item level of a fully upgraded Season 2 Hero, Myth, or maximum-quality Tidal Crafted weapon, trinket, or necklace.

Along with Ascendant Venomstones, the week of October 20, the crest cap will be lifted.
