Trinkets
The best trinkets for Havoc in Midnight Season 2 are:
Alternatives:
- Sapling Of The Dawnroot
- Freightrunner's Flask
- Lightspire Core
- Vile Vial Of Volatile Venom
- Gebbo's Bottomless Bag
Embellishments
Your first craft should be Spellbreaker's Warglaive, with Hunter's Ritual Stone embellishment. Crafting a weapon first is usually the largest damage increase, and as it’s going to be BiS for Havoc in the future, it’s a safe craft.
My Recommendation:
- Spellbreaker's Warglaive with Hunter's Ritual Stone.
- The second craft should use Arcanoweave Lining as the embellishment, but what should be crafted depends on your gear situation. Feel free to choose one of these three: Silvermoon Agent's Deflectors, Silvermoon Agent's Sneakers or Adherent's Silken Shroud.
Use Thalassian Missive Of The Peerless for all crafted pieces when possible. This ensures that the item has Critical Strike and Mastery on it.
Note: Make sure that your crafted weapon is a warglaive, so that you can use it for all three specs.
Nebulous Voidcores (Bonus Rolls)
The Midnight Season 2 Bonus Rolls (Nebulous Voidcore) will be available from the start of the season as an alternative reward from your Great Vault. More sources for the bonus rolls will become available later into the Season.
Nebulous Voidcore Bonus Rolls let you target specific loot from a Raid Boss or Mythic+ Dungeon; once an item is received via Bonus Loot, that item is removed from the Bonus Loot Pool.
Below are the High Priority bonus roll target items and where they drop from:
| Target Item | Difficulty | Source / Drop |
| Aman'muso, Warlord's Vengeance | Mythic/Heroic | The Coiled Altar |
| Aqirbane Reliquary | Mythic/Heroic | Ula’tek |
| Zul'jin's Guillotine Technique | Mythic/Heroic | The Coiled Altar |
| Voracious Heart Of Ula'tek | Mythic/Heroic | Ula’tek |
