Tier Sets

Midnight Season 1 Tier Set Bonus:

The 2 Set is fairly simple and almost unnoticeable unless you are talented into Shadow Mend. The 4 Set is especially good in Raid, providing much higher Atonement uptime throughout a fight.

Treat the list below as a rough guide to help you target the right content for your gear. To see exactly what's best for your character's current setup, I recommend simming yourself with QELive.

Mythic+ Trinkets

For Mythic+, you can follow the same list as above, but you should prioritize Litany Of Lightblind Wrath over Vaelgor's Final Stare as your primary on-use trinket.

Embellishments

Crafted gear provides a massive item level upgrade and gives you access to Embellishments.

Early in the season, it’s vital to get strong upgrades without wasting crests. That’s why I recommend your first craft be the two-handed weapon Aln'hara Cane with the Darkmoon Sigil: Hunt embellishment. This ensures you aren't wasting crests upgrading both a Main Hand and an Off-hand separately.

For your second craft, I recommend Arcanoweave Cord. This is a specific belt with a solid proc that provides constant value.

If you already have a Mythic-level belt, craft a high stat-budget item with Arcanoweave Lining for an immediate power gain. This will likely be Martyr's Waistwrap (Waist), Martyr's Slippers (Feet), or Martyr's Mantle (Shoulders), basically whichever provides the biggest item level jump for you at the time.

Refer to the Stat Priority page for the correct stats.

Bonus Rolls

Introduced in Patch 12.0.5, you can now acquire and use Nebulous Voidcores to easily obtain specific equipment from specific bosses via Bonus Loot Rolls.

If you have access to mythic raids, you should be rolling for your BiS trinkets and neck:

If you have plenty of mythic crests to spend or don't have access to mythic raiding, I recommend using the QE Live Upgrade Finder to see which dungeon you should spend your rolls in. Set the dungeon item level to 289 to see which dungeon has the highest chance of dropping an upgrade.

Ascendant Voidcores

Upon unlocking the Voidforge, you can collect Ascendant Voidcores to further empower your Weapons and Trinkets, via Midnight Endgame Content.

The priority for using your upgrades is fairly simple:

  1. Mythic Two-Handed Weapon (Crafted or dropped)
  2. Mythic Main Hand (If you don't have a two-hander)
  3. Mythic Vaelgor's Final Stare (If you have it)
  4. Other strong trinkets: e.g., Locus-Walker's Ribbon, Heart Of Wind, Gaze Of The Alnseer, Litany Of Lightblind Wrath
  5. Your Mythic offhand
