Complete the story campaign, engage in weekly events, and leverage world quest rewards, Prey hunts, delves, and professions to optimize gear acquisition and progression in the Midnight expansion for World of Warcraft.
Story Campaign Completion
Completing the story campaign is an essential first step to unlock vital endgame activities in the Midnight expansion of World of Warcraft. If you reach level 90 before finishing the campaign, continue working through the main story quests until you complete the "Daylight is Breaking" quest in Silvermoon. This is necessary to unlock world quests, adventure mode for alts, and the Prey system. Additionally, progression in the max-level portion of the campaign requires this step to be completed.
prerequisites
- Finish the story campaign to unlock endgame activities.
- Reach level 90 if you haven't already.
- Return to Silvermoon and complete the "Daylight is Breaking" quest.
Weekly Events and Quests
Weekly events and quests are excellent sources of gear upgrades and key resources for progression, including pinnacle caches and Sparks of Radiance.
steps
- Complete the "Unity Against the Void" weekly quest in Silvermoon to earn a pinnacle cache and Sparks of Radiance.
- Choose an activity from the quest’s options to complete it quickly (e.g., specific zone events or Argent quests).
- Participate in weekly zone events across each Midnight zone, such as defending runestones or story-specific activities.
- Unlock zone-specific weekly quests by progressing quest chains that introduce their corresponding events.
- Complete special assignments and Midnight-specific weekly quests for additional pinnacle caches and reputation.

World quests in Midnight provide adventurer gear, crests for upgrades, extra currency, renown, reputation, and pinnacle caches. Special assignment world quests offer heightened rewards, such as pinnacle caches, when you complete additional world quests in the same zone first.
steps
- Open your world quest menu regularly to check for gear or currency upgrades.
- Complete special assignment world quests for optimal rewards like pinnacle caches and upgrade materials.
- Use world quests as opportunities for obtaining renown and reputation boosts while gaining gear.

Prey System Overview
The Prey hunt system presents a valuable way to gain rewards at max level by completing hunts with increasing difficulty. These hunts provide adventurer gear, crests, journey progress, and higher-tier rewards as you unlock higher-level hunts.
steps
- Visit Astalor Bloodsworn in Silvermoon to unlock Prey hunts by completing his initial questline.
- Begin normal Prey hunts for adventurer gear and crests.
- Return to Astalor after completing a normal hunt to unlock hard mode Prey hunts for veteran-level rewards.
- Progress your renown rank to unlock nightmare mode hunts, which offer champion gear and crests.
- Complete up to four weekly Prey hunts for maximum journey progress in the seasonal track.

Delves for Gear
Delves are a repeatable activity that provides rewards such as gear, crests, currencies, and companion bonuses. Higher tiers of delves yield superior gear and rewards, particularly once the pre-season transition to Season 1 is complete.
steps
- Complete pre-season delves to earn adventurer-level gear and crests.
- Unlock higher tiers of delves to prepare for the rewards introduced in Season 1, such as champion gear at Tier 8 or above.
- Collect coffer key shards within delves to generate restored coffer keys automatically (100 shards per key). These unlock better rewards in bountiful delves from Season 1 onward.

Professions and Gearing
Professions are another path to acquiring high-level gear upgrades in the Midnight expansion. Crafting professions allow modification of gear with crests for higher item levels, and Sparks of Radiance obtained from weekly quests are crucial for crafting top-tier gear.
steps
- Level up your professions and earn knowledge to unlock specialization trees for crafting improvements.
- Use Adventurer and Veteran Crests to upgrade crafted items, significantly increasing their item levels.
- Collect Sparks of Radiance weekly to craft or commission high-item-level gear.
- Employ the crafting order system to request gear from others or benefit from professionally crafted high-rank items.
