Blizzard has opened another Midnight Season 1 dungeon testing session, and players can jump into the full Mythic+ pool right now during the beta period.
During testing, you can grab keystones from vendors in Stormwind, Orgrimmar, or Silvermoon, and a nearby NPC will teleport you directly to the dungeon.
All seasonal dungeons are available on Heroic, Mythic, and Mythic+ difficulty, including Magisters’ Terrace, Pit of Saron, Skyreach, and several new World of Warcraft: Midnight dungeons. Characters with at least item level 226 gear will automatically scale to the required level for testing.
Balance Changes Included
The test also comes with tuning adjustments across multiple dungeons. Examples include reduced damage on several Windrunner Spire abilities, health reductions in Maisara Caverns, and timer adjustments in Magisters’ Terrace and Pit of Saron.
Blizzard says testing will continue through the first week of Midnight, and feedback is encouraged. You can read the official bluepost below.
