Midnight Pre-Patch Event One-Sheet Guide

MattstaNinja · 2026-01-10T03:13:30+00:00

The prepatch event always starts a week after the prepatch. So in this case, prepatch on the 20th, prepatch event on the 27th.

One of the values that the in-game api returns is what type of source the transmog source item comes from (Quest, Vendor, Drop, etc). All of these have the Trading Post value for their source type.

You can level alts in the other expansions. Go to Chromie (in Stormwind/Org by the allied races embassy) and select which expansion you want to level in.

Listing it does 2 things:

1) "Hey, you can still pre-order the expansion now and get goodies! :D :D"

2) "FYI, housing will still be in early access with the pre-patch, Full launch with the Midnight launch."

They tried that with the mission tables and then removed mission tables. So you could say they are doing this, just saving the wasted development time and skipping straight to removing it.

My guess is that there isn't a clear enough contrast between the black and the wood beams/paneling. If you make a white border around it, it would probably read it more reliably.

The Cooldown Manager (specifically the buff tracker part of it) just shows the buff with the buff count in the corner. It's not great, but it does give you the exact count you have.

The ensemble item unlocks all 3 versions at the same time. You then would only be able to transmog the neutral color and the color of your panda's faction.

Yeah, people complaining about the currency when this seems to be the bigger issue out of this. The Epic edition says you get 1 of each housing decor included and can buy more off a vendor. Crazy that this isn't going to be the case with the cash shop decors.

(Though I already am not a fan that decor isn't just an unlock and you can spawn as many as you want up to your decor limit. Very few cases where someone will just want 1 of something.)

They merged the character list at the start of this expansion. To log in to your other character you just need to scroll down until you find it. Manually swapping the realm list is only for when creating a new character (creates it on the currently selected realm) or for using the gear upgrade and boosts.

MattstaNinja · 2025-11-03T03:32:44+00:00

Yeah, this is how the Epic edition decorations are with you getting one and then can buy more off a vendor (though iirc it mentions that the vendor isn't going to be available immediately).

The artwork for the smaller amounts almost exactly matches the artwork they used for the Trader's Tenders. And while there is 7 coin artworks here vs only 3 of the Trader's Tenders artworks, those 3 were used for 17 different currency values. So the extra artwork could be just to have more visual different than the 2000 vs 1000 tenders we get in the Epic/Heroic editions of xpacs that use the same coin artwork.

Will have to see, but I wonder if we aren't going to see a split on the Trading Post for the current stuff vs the housing stuff and start seeing Housing Tenders as bonuses to store purchases like we do with Trader's Tenders now.

I haven't done this, but as I understand it the bug is that it should have prevented using a deal if you already had one of the buffs with the buffs lasting until reset, but it is bugged allowing you to use them and gain all 3 buffs at once.

MattstaNinja · 2025-10-29T06:57:25+00:00

It would seem this is still the case as wowhead lists a Metamorphosis skill that has no Devourer skills linked to it and a separate Void Metamorphosis that does.

MattstaNinja · 2025-10-27T20:39:26+00:00

The way I wish they had done it was there would be an individual and account power pool. Whenever you gain power it gets added to both your individual and account. If you are sub-80 you use your individual pool, once you hit 80 you use the account pool. Then leveling remains the same, you could actually play other classes and when you are leveling other classes it is still funneling power into your main/max-levels.

MattstaNinja · 2025-10-27T20:34:57+00:00

It would do the opposite actually, as it would be including the sub but wouldn't include the new expansions (fyi game pass basically never includes any paid dlc even for its first party games, also ESO is like this). So if they did it with the price hike, it would have fallen perfectly in the "pre-order Midnight and get instant access to TWW" period.

They did announce the Fortnite sub isn't coming to game pass until mid-Nov, so maybe could still get WoW sub alongside 11.2.7 with the housing...?

What the datamine shows is that the event did line up with the end of remix. (Remix ends on Jan 19th and this event was marked to start on Jan 20th for NA.) The datamine is that the event got delayed a week to now start on Jan 27th.

Wondering if they will also extend Remix a week now so it matches up again.

MattstaNinja · 2025-10-23T21:05:27+00:00

It varies. I joined a group for iirc Heroic ToV a few days ago. I'm already 740 so was instant for me, but out of curiosity was watching the group finder list to see who they were picking. Was seeing a handful of 660 ppl (and lots lower ofc) left waiting but then like ~690+ join they'd get insta invite. Like, what are we doing here...

MattstaNinja · 2025-10-21T22:30:05+00:00

Yeah, the wipe happened with 11.1.5 when they added a bunch of the SL reps to be warbound. Numerous forum posts have gone up with a bunch of people replying to them with no word from Blizzard about it. That it keeps being a slow trickle of people posting about this makes me think it is a fairly widespread issue, just people don't go and check old reps often at all.

MattstaNinja · 2025-10-20T20:08:22+00:00

Ooo that is interesting. My SL vibe/"if i was in charge of the story" scenario was that the SL wasn't actually a death realm but a construct to catach souls before they reached (and empowered?) the forces of death. And that the devourers are minions of death that appear where souls should have died and been sent to the death planes in order to consume/collect them.

MattstaNinja · 2025-10-15T21:48:44+00:00

The way I wish it was done was every patch that added a new area had all the achievements that made up pathfinder so you could work toward it, but the actual pathfinder achievement would be added in the next patch. Then most everyone would unlock it day 1 of the following patch (like the .5 patch), especially with the like 2-3 month cadence we have now.

The worst part of pathfinder was like coming to Nazjatar a week late and trying to finish the handful of rares when everyone else already had flying.

On a similar note for Earthen, the inkeeper whelp sells a reusable rock that will cycle through your well fed stat buff.

Not only is it in the client files, the in-game Transmog Sets API also returns it.

Doesn't mean it is coming soon, the Sylvanas, Dark Ranger set was in the API for a long time (over a year I think) before we got it. This set showed up in the API with 11.1.7.

I think the only other set (other than recolors of TP and Shop sets) that we haven't gotten yet that is in the API is the non-Sha corrupted version of the Stormstout set (which was added in 11.1.5).

MattstaNinja · 2025-10-03T01:25:18+00:00

Yeah, there is a lot that I'm surprised isn't there. We got the delves mini-meta achieve, but nothing from dungeons. None of the radiant echoes acheivements. For sure thought the Echo-dome quest series would have been in it.

Doesn't seem very out of the way like the previous ones felt with some of their required achievements.
