With the Midnight Expansion now fully released, players are working towards getting to max level and gearing up for the start of Season 1. Some of the strongest gear currently available comes from World Events, but you will need to raise your Renown to earn access to this gear!
Renown Champion Gear in Midnight
Unlike past expansions, Champion gear from Renown factions is not purchased. Instead, you must complete a quest that requires interacting with the World Event from that Renown’s zone. Each quest is offered by that Renown’s quartermaster once you’ve reached the required threshold.
Champion gear is the equivalent of Normal raid gear in Midnight Season 1. The pieces of gear obtained from these quests are the strongest pieces of gear players will have access to, until the start of Midnight Season 1 on March 17.
