Greetings!

Midnight Season 1 dungeon testing continues today, February 19, through 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 Mythic Keystones by talking to the Keystone Vendor in Stormwind, Orgrimmar, or Silvermoon. The nearby Dungeon Teleports NPC will assist you with transportation.
