WoW Midnight Weekly Checklist: Season 2 and 12.1.5 Reset Plan

Quick summary

• Open the Great Vault first. It has three rows: Raid (2, 4, and 6 bosses), Dungeons (1, 4, and 8 runs), and World (2, 4, and 8 activities). You take one item.
• The breakpoints that cap each row: Heroic raid bosses give a Myth 1/6 (318) Vault choice. +10 keys give 318 Myth 1/6. Tier 8+ Delves and Nightmare Prey give 305 Hero 1/6.
• Weekly limits worth using: the first two Prey gear chests per difficulty, four big Prey Journey hunts, the Trovehunter's Bounty map, four Tier 11 Gilded Stashes, one Spark of Tides, and 600 Coffer Key Shards.
• 12.1.5 this week: the Labyrinth of Kindo'jan, the Unbinding of Kith'ix raid, Aqir Invasions, Prey catch-up, and Orin's quest "Ancient Depths, Ancient Venom". The crest cap lifts the week of October 20, when Venomstones unlock.

The checklist at a glance

Copy this list and tick it off each reset:

Reset day

• Open the Great Vault and compare every choice (tier set, weapon, trinket) before you take one
• Use or save your Catalyst charge
• 12.1.5: accept Ancient Depths, Ancient Venom from Orin Straylight by the Catalyst (this week only, then "Ascending with Venomstones" on October 20)
• Pick up the weekly quests: Midnight: Raid, Dungeons, World Boss, Delves, Prey, and the zone activities

During the week

• Raid: 2, 4, and 6 bosses in The Venomous Abyss (tier bosses first). Nymrissa in Tidebound Grotto and Kith'ix are extra raid options
• Dungeons: 1, 4, and 8 runs, keeping your 4th and 8th keys high
• World: 8 activities at Tier 8+ Delves or Nightmare Prey
• Four Prey hunts for the big Journey award, plus the first two chests on the difficulties you run
• Bountiful Delves with your keys, and use the Trovehunter's Bounty map on Tier 8+
• Tier 11 Delves for the Gilded Stash (up to 4, Journey rank 4)
• Labyrinth of Kindo'jan: Wah'du's weekly request on Tier 8+
• Weekly world tasks (list below) and the Spark of Tides from Vaults of Atal'Utek
• Profession "Services Requested" quests

Before reset

• Spend crests on pieces you'll keep
• Use your Trovehunter's Bounty, Afflicted or Tormented Soul, and extra Nebulous Voidcore
• Check whether one more key or boss would raise a Vault slot

Fill all three Great Vault rows

Row	Slot 1	Slot 2	Slot 3	What counts
Raid	2 bosses	4 bosses	6 bosses	Venomous Abyss, Nymrissa Wavecaller and Kith'ix kills on any difficulty except Story
Dungeons	1 run	4 runs	8 runs	Heroic, Mythic, Mythic+, or Timewalking dungeons
World	2 activities	4 activities	8 activities	Delves, Prey, zone events, weekly quests, Assignments

Each slot offers gear based on the difficulty you completed. Season 2 also lets you take a Nebulous Voidcore bonus roll instead of gear (Warcraft Wiki).

Raid Vault by difficulty

Raid difficulty	Vault choice (Method)	Boss drops
Raid Finder	Champion 1/6 (292)	n/a
Normal	Hero 1/6 (305)	292–302
Heroic	Myth 1/6 (318)	305–315
Mythic	Myth 6/6 (334)	318–324
Mythic, last two bosses	Higher (up to 344 per our gearing guide)	n/a

Mythic+ Vault by key level

Wowhead's table. The Vault uses your highest, 4th-highest, and 8th-highest keys, and the order you ran them doesn't matter.

Key	End of dungeon	Crest	Great Vault
+2–3	295 Champion 2/6	Champion	305 Hero 1/6
+4	298 Champion 3/6	Hero	308 Hero 2/6
+5	302 Champion 4/6	Hero	308 Hero 2/6
+6	305 Hero 1/6	Hero	311 Hero 3/6
+7	305 Hero 1/6	Hero	315 Hero 4/6
+8	308 Hero 2/6	Hero	315 Hero 4/6
+9	308 Hero 2/6	Myth	315 Hero 4/6
+10 and up	311 Hero 3/6	Myth	318 Myth 1/6

Method's table lists 311 for +7 to +9 while labeling them Hero 4/6, which doesn't match its own label. Higher keys don't raise the normal Vault reward past 318.

World Vault by activity

Activity	Best World Vault choice
Tier 8+ Delves	305 Hero 1/6
Nightmare Prey	305 Hero 1/6
Tier 7 Delves	302 Champion 4/6
Hard Prey / Tier 5 Delves	292 Champion 1/6
Normal Prey / Tier 1 Delves	279 Veteran 1/6
Weekly quests and Assignments	Low-tier credit

Example: you raid Normal (4 bosses), time four +6 keys, and run eight Tier 8 Delves. You get two Hero 1/6 raid choices, a 311 slot from your best key, a second 311 slot from your fourth key, and three 305 World choices.

The third slot uses your eighth key, so keep all eight close in level.

Run the weekly quests

TheWoWDB's datamine lists these level-90 weekly quests. All of them reward a Spark of Radiance except Vaults of Atal'Utek, which gives the Spark of Tides:

Group content	Zone and activity weeklies
Midnight: Raid	Midnight: Abundance (Zul'Aman)	Midnight: Saltheril's Soiree
Midnight: Dungeons	Midnight: Arcantina	Midnight: Stormarion Assault
Midnight: World Boss	Midnight: Delves	Midnight: Vaults of Atal'Utek (Spark of Tides)
Midnight: Battlegrounds	Midnight: Housing	Midnight: Void Assaults

Warcraft Wiki's Season 2 page names the rotating world tasks: Saltheril's Soiree, Abundance, Legends of the Haranir, Stormarion Assault, Amani Abyss, Special Assignments (three world quests in a zone unlock the bonus assignment), and Vaults of Atal'Utek.

Multi-week chains (TheWoWDB): Ritual Site Studies and Advanced Ritual Site Studies each give a Nebulous Voidcore and 300 Voidlight Marl per week. Seeking Knowledge (5 weeks) gives Sunstrider Omnium Simulacra. If you started late, finish them in order.

Weekly Event: one rotating bonus quest is active each week, such as a Timewalking "Path Through Time," A Call to Delves, A Call to Battle, or The World Awaits. Check the Adventure Guide.

Crafters: each profession has a Services Requested weekly (fill public crafting orders) that gives a profession knowledge item and Fused Vitality.

Use your Delve and Prey limits

Weekly limit	Cap	Notes
Coffer Key Shards	600 (TheWoWDB)	100 shards = 1 Restored Coffer Key, so up to 6 keys from shards
Bought Restored Coffer Keys	2	Naleidea Rivergleam, Delver's Journey rank 6
Trovehunter's Bounty	1 per character	Use it on Tier 8+ for Hero-track loot
Gilded Stash	4	Tier 11 Delves, Journey rank 4. Hero and Myth crests
Untainted Mana-Crystals	250 per week, 1,000 total	Tier 11 Bountiful Coffers after rank 9, traded to Zah'ran
Prey gear chests	2 per difficulty	Later clears give gold and materials
Big Prey Journey awards	First 4 hunts	12.1.5 catch-up: 4,000 each below rank 4, 2,000 each at ranks 4–9
Prey hunts	15 on the board	12 base + 3 Coiled Isle
Afflicted / Tormented Soul bonus	1 each per character	Use between hunts in 12.1.5
Labyrinth Mythical Soul Fragment	1 per Wah'du request	Missed weeks can be caught up (Wowhead)

Our Delves guide and Prey guide explain each one.

Clear raid and dungeon lockouts

• Raid. The Venomous Abyss has eight bosses, and six kills fill the raid row. Prioritize the ones for your missing pieces.
• Kith'ix (12.1.5). Heroic and Mythic drop Venomstones from October 20.
• Dungeons. Mythic 0 is on a daily lockout during the season (Warcraft Wiki), and Mythic+ has no lockout. New to keys? Start with our Mythic+ first-key checklist.

Spend crests, Sparks, and Catalyst charges

• Mistcrests. TheWoWDB's data shows no cap field for crests, so the in-game counter is what counts. Blizzard lifts the cap the week of October 20. Upgrade weapons, trinkets, and your necklace first, since only fully upgraded ones can take Venomstones. See our Mistcrests gearing guide.
• Spark of Tides. One per week (Warcraft Wiki), from the Vaults of Atal'Utek weekly. Crafted gear uses two to four Sparks, so plan crafts ahead.
• Catalyst. Convert one eligible piece into tier if you're missing a set slot.
• Thalassian Tokens of Merit. Vaultkeeper Elysa trades them for Mistcrest bundles, gold, or a socket item.
• Extra Nebulous Voidcore. One more per week from Orin since October 6, for gold, Voidlight Marl, or Veteran Mistcrests (our catch-up guide).
• Corrosive Souls. Spend them at the Altar of Corrosion on the Coiled Isle.

Open your weekly caches

Warcraft Wiki lists the season's weekly caches. Two to watch:

• Apex Cache: the meta cache for the weekly world content.
• Fabled Veteran's Caches: from the Eversong, Zul'Aman, Harandar, and Voidstorm activities, plus a separate Coiled Isle cache.

Open caches before reset so you know what's already looted.

12.1.5 week-by-week additions

Week	Add to your checklist (Blizzard 12.1.5 notes)
October 13 (now)	Labyrinth of Kindo'jan, Kith'ix, Aqir Invasions (10 minutes each hour in Eversong or Zul'Aman), Prey catch-up, and "Ancient Depths, Ancient Venom" from Orin
October 20	"Ascending with Venomstones". Crest cap lifted. Venomstones drop from Heroic/Mythic raid bosses, +10 keys, Tier 11 Bountiful Delves, and Nightmare Prey Champion chests. 10 Venomstones upgrade one fully upgraded weapon, trinket, or necklace

Our 12.1.5 catch-up guide covers each source by track.

Choose a weekly plan

Player type	Must do (about 2–4 hours)	Nice to have	Skip
Raider	Vault, 6 Heroic bosses, tier bosses, Nymrissa, Kith'ix	4 keys at +10, Gilded Stashes	Low-tier World tasks once the raid row is full
Mythic+	Vault, 8 keys at +10, crests	1 Heroic raid night, 4 Prey hunts	Normal raid for gear
Solo	Vault, 8 Tier 8+ Delves or Nightmare Prey, keys, Trovehunter's map, 4 Prey hunts	Tier 11 Gilded Stashes, Labyrinth weekly, Ral'kala	Hunts after the first two chests
Alt	Vault, Tier 8 Bountiful Delves, LFR/Normal raid, 4 Prey hunts if the Journey isn't done	Renown catch-up quests	Your main's full routine
Casual / short on time	Vault, 1 strong key, 2 Delves, 4 Prey hunts	Weekly quests	Chasing all nine slots

The time estimates are our rough planning figures, not measured data.

Returning and boosted players

• Returning this week: do Orin's quest today, run the Labyrinth, take the Prey catch-up, and fill eight World activities so you start getting 305 Vault choices. Push into Heroic raid or +10 keys once you're in Hero gear.
• Boosted level 90: do the Delve and Prey unlock quests and the renown milestone quests first. Your first Vault will be low, so focus on filling rows at Tier 8 Delves and Hard Prey.

Review the week on reset day

1. Which row gave the weakest choice? Push that row first next week.
2. Which weekly limit did you miss? Move it to the top of the list.
3. Are your crests capped? Spend before you farm more. After October 20, this stops mattering.

What key level caps the Mythic+ Great Vault?

+10. Wowhead lists 318 Myth 1/6 from +10, and higher keys don't raise the normal Vault reward. +7 to +9 give 315 Hero 4/6.

Do Prey hunts count for the Great Vault?

Yes. Prey and Delves both count toward the World row. Nightmare hunts and Tier 8+ Delves give 305 Hero 1/6 choices.

What are the weekly quests in WoW Midnight Season 2?

Midnight: Raid, Dungeons, World Boss, Delves, Prey, and the zone activities such as Saltheril's Soiree, Abundance, Stormarion Assault, and the Vaults of Atal'Utek, which gives the Spark of Tides.

Warcraft Wiki lists 100 per crest type per week. Blizzard's 12.1.5 notes say the cap is lifted the week of October 20, 2026.

How many Coffer Keys can I get per week?

TheWoWDB lists a 600 Coffer Key Shard weekly cap, which is six keys. Delver's Journey rank 6 lets you buy two more from Naleidea Rivergleam.

Can I take a Nebulous Voidcore from the Great Vault?

Yes. In Season 2, the Vault offers a Nebulous Voidcore as a choice, and since October 6 Orin sells one extra each week.
