As a fresh max level in a brand new expansion, determining where to start with the gearing process can be quite overwhelming. Never fear, though; we are here to help! Sticking to the activities outlined below will keep you on track and moving forward into the best gear available every week.
For a simple task checklist every week, bookmark our To-Do Lists Guide!
Midnight To-Do ListsRenown Grinds
Each Midnight faction will offer you a piece of 1/6 Champion Gear (Item Level 246!) via quests from the renown vendors. The Singularity provides a trinket at Renown 7; the Hara’ti provide a belt at Renown 8; Silvermoon and the Amani provide a helm and necklace, respectively, both at Renown 9. Given the massive item level boost these items will offer most players, it will be important to ensure you are maximizing your renown gains.
Midnight Renown GuideIf you have not yet found the treasures and high peaks in each zone, this is an excellent opportunity to earn a little more renown while also working towards the expansion meta achievement. Learn more about the meta achievement, and find individual zone treasure guides, in the guide below.

Weekly World Events
Midnight brings FOUR new Weekly Events to the table. Not only will these events earn you some extra renown for their associated zone faction, but they will also (hopefully) net you some further gear upgrades. You may even find yourself enjoying these unique activities!
Midnight World Events GuideDelves
Delves reward gear at the end of every run, but also fulfill the World section of your Great Vault, offering more upgrades on weekly reset. Early on, filling out as many Great Vault slots as possible is extremely important, so pushing your Delve progression is key. Aim to unlock Delves through Tier 8, if you are able; if you find yourself stuck, consult our comprehensive Delves Guide below:
Delves GuidePrey
Prey is another opportunity for gear rewards and renown, as Normal Hunts reward Adventurer gear. If possible, try your hand at four Hard Prey Hunts alongside your four Normal Hunts; Hard Hunts reward Veteran gear. Unlike Delves, Prey is a system you can put down and pick up again whenever you have a spare moment. In fact, hunts are completable as you do World Quests and travel the map for World Events, making Prey a more flexible system in many ways.

Dungeons
In Early Access, dungeons were the single best gear source. This remains true with the full release of Midnight. Mythic 0s will become available this week, offering Veteran gear and another chance to fill out your Dungeon Vault slots. You should look to complete M0 world tour for every important character on your list, and then queue into Heroic Dungeons to replace any remaining pieces of leveling gear. Exploring dungeon content in the early days of a new expansion is also an excellent way to learn the content before Mythic+ release.
