Start here: your first week in Midnight

Pick a class you'll enjoy for hours

There are 13 classes and 40 specializations. Each spec is a tank, a healer or a damage dealer. Midnight added a third Demon Hunter spec, Devourer, which fights with Void magic from mid range, and Void Elves can now be Demon Hunters.

Every spec can clear current content, so choose on feel rather than tier lists. Not sure? The class finder asks six questions and suggests three specs, and the class directory explains each one.

Choose a race for looks, then move on

Racial abilities are small. Pick the look you like, as long as it's available for your class. Midnight's new allied race is the Haranir. If you play with friends, match their faction or check that cross-faction groups work for the content you plan to do.

Level to 90 through Quel'Thalas

Levels 80 to 90 take you through Midnight's zones: Eversong Woods, Zul'Aman, Harandar and Voidstorm, with a rebuilt Silvermoon as your hub. Follow the main campaign; it unlocks the rest of the expansion as you go.

Two talent milestones matter: hero talents unlock at 71, and Midnight's Apex talents, a spec-defining node that grows with each point, arrive while you level from 81 to 90.

Pick an endgame lane at 90

You don't need to do everything. Choose what you enjoy and the gear follows.

• Delves are short solo or small-group adventures with an NPC companion. Great if your schedule is unpredictable.
• Dungeons run from Heroic to Mythic, then Mythic+ keystones that scale up in difficulty for five players.
• Raids are for larger groups, from Story Mode and Raid Finder up to Mythic.
• PvP covers battlegrounds and rated arenas.
• Prey hunts, world events and player housing fill the rest of your week.

Use the Great Vault every week

Raid bosses, dungeon runs and world activities each unlock up to three reward choices. After the weekly reset you pick one item from everything you unlocked. The weekly planner tracks it for you.

Ask when you're stuck

The AI advisor knows the current patch and answers questions like "what should I do this week as a fresh 90?" in plain language.
