Order of the Storm Seekers

The Curse of Ula’tek is upon us and so is the start of Midnight Season 2.

I hope to start Normal Venomous Abyss raiding on Sunday, August 23rd.

Guided by the dark whispers of Malacrass, Zul’jan has freed the forgotten broods of Ula’tek from their prison. As the monster’s power grows, Zul’jarra calls upon the Champions of Azeroth to descend into the Vaults of Atal’Utek to stop her brother before the weapon is unleashed upon Azeroth.

I am aware that sunshine and summer is still in the air but I believe we should be enough to at least start having a look the  Normal.

As a reminder for anyone contemplating switching class, since we are back to Normal for the start of S2, this would be the best time in order not to waste any gearing opportunities. Also, please do try to have any switching done before we begin Heroic later on. For any new characters for the start of The Venomous Abyss Normal you should be looking at an absolute minimum ilevel of 280; aim to get as high as you can before we start. 

Do read the raiding T&Cs to refamiliarize yourself.

I look forward to resuming raiding with you all. See you in The Venomous Abyss, Tier 36.

Short post to announce the conclusion of Midnight Season 1 raiding.

Well done everyone! I hope you all enjoyed the Voidspire, Dreamrift, March on Quel’Danas and Sporefall.

We got our March on Quel’Danas Ahead of the Curve on Monday, July 6th , completing Tier 35.

We made a valiant effort to finish Glory of the Midnight Raider achievement but alas we fell two short. We’ll have to make do with some madcap madness and make an effort to return for those two when time permits.

Thank you for your dedication and effort. I think Midnight Season 1 has had some great raid bosses and I’ve enjoyed working our way through all of them.

Enjoy the raid break see you all for Tier 36, the Venomous Abyss!

My plan is for us to begin Midnight Season 1 raiding on Sunday, March 22nd with Voidspire and Dreamrift.

From high above the Voidstorm, Xal’atath has gathered the Devouring Host beneath her dark banner. The towering Voidspire looms like a spear of darkness, a citadel guarded by an army of the void. The forces of the light – led by Alleria Windrunner and the Champions of Azeroth – must rally for one last desperate assault before all is lost.

For this initial Midnight raid tier you should be looking at an absolute minimum ilevel of 220; that is probably on the low side so aim to get as high as you can before we start. Dungeons and Delves can provide up to ilvl 240 gear before Season 1 starts.

Make sure you read the raiding T&Cs to refamiliarize yourself with the loot rules and any other changes since you last looked at them.

I look forward to resuming raiding with you all as we head into Season 1 of Midnight! 😀 

The Midnight prepatch is live! Lots of changes both big and small. However, not to worry, there is plenty of time to check everything out before we pass into Midnight for real.

Midnight Early Access and Release are set for February 26th and March 2nd at 23:00 GMT respectively.

I hope you are all enjoying the break and I look forward to seeing you all for the start of our 10th expansion.
