Summary:
This week in WoW Midnight Gold offers several useful activities for gearing alts, earning reputation, collecting holiday rewards, and claiming free Trader's Tenders. Cataclysm Timewalking is the most urgent activity before the Wednesday reset, while Winds of Mysterious Fortune ends Thursday. Brewfest continues until October 6, and several Trading Post rewards remain available through October 1.
1. Finish Cataclysm Timewalking Before Reset
The Cataclysm Timewalking event is excellent for gearing level 90 alts. Firelands Timewalking bosses drop Champion gear, while weekly quests provide additional Champion and Hero gear. The Ragnaros quest can be completed quickly by joining a raid skip group through the group finder, entering Firelands, using the shortcut to Ragnaros, and defeating him.
The event also provides Timewarped Badges and chances at rare Cataclysm mounts through the Cataclysm Timewalking treasures. Since alts receive the same badge rewards, consider completing the activities on multiple characters before Wednesday.
2. Use Winds of Mysterious Fortune
Winds of Mysterious Fortune currently provides 20% bonus experience and 50% bonus reputation for most reputations, excluding the specified exceptions. Combining this buff with Timewalking dungeons makes it a strong opportunity to level alts.
Mysterious Shells can also provide experience potions that add more than 10% experience. With these bonuses and other available buffs, players can reach around 30% additional experience. The event ends Thursday, so use the remaining time for leveling and reputation farming.
3. Farm Brewfest Rewards
Brewfest runs until October 6 and introduces new red and purple cosmetic variants, housing decorations purchasable with gold, and a new achievement. The daily Coren Direbrew encounter can reward rare mounts including the Brewfest Bomber, Great Brewfest Kodo, and Swift Brewfest Ram.
The first keg-shaped chest of the day has an increased chance for rare rewards across your Warband. Brewfest tokens are also important because they can be spent on cosmetics, toys, pets, sets, and other event rewards.
Every hour, the Brewfest Banquet takes place. Complete the introductory quests, participate in the event, and fill the progress bar to receive reward bags containing cosmetics, tokens, and potentially Bind-on-Equip weapons.
4. Claim Free Trader's Tenders
You can earn up to 700 free Trader's Tenders this week. Logging in for five days during Winds of Mysterious Fortune awards 500 Tenders, while watching two hours of eligible WoW Twitch streams before September 27 provides another 200.
The Trading Post outlet vendors in Silvermoon also remain available until October 1, offering discounted mounts, pets, toys, and previous Trading Post rewards.
5. Watch October Rewards and Future Remix Content
Some possible October Trading Post rewards, including witch-themed cosmetics, masks, buy WoW Midnight Gold, and broomstick mounts, have not been confirmed. If you like these appearances, consider saving some Tenders.
Finally, Wrath of the Lich King Remix is planned for 2027. Players farming rare Wrath mounts may want to consider this future event, as some rewards could become easier to obtain through event systems or vendors. However, the exact reward structure has not been confirmed.
