Greetings!
Midnight Season 1 dungeon testing continues on Wednesday, January 28 at 6:00 p.m. PST (9:00 p.m. EDT / 3:00 a.m. CEST) and continues throughout the first week of Midnight. Please note that this schedule may be adjusted if we encounter any technical issues during testing.
During the test period you’ll be able to acquire and customize Mythic Keystones by talking to the Keystone Vendor in Stormwind, Orgrimmar and Silvermoon. The nearby Dungeon Teleports NPC will assist you with transportation. Throughout beta, all Midnight dungeons will be available for testing on Normal and Heroic difficulty. Seasonal dungeons will rotate with each new test period.
For this round, the following seasonal dungeons will be open for testing on Heroic, Mythic and Mythic+ difficulty:
-
Magisters’ Terrace
-
Maisara Caverns
-
Nexus-Point Xenas
-
Windrunner Spire
-
Algeth’ar Academy
-
Seat of the Triumvirate
-
Pit of Saron
-
Skyreach
Provided that the items equipped on your character are at least item level 226, they will scale automatically to a higher level as needed to support Dungeon testing.
