Midnight Twilight Ascension Pre‑Patch Event Rewards Guide — Mounts, Pets, Housing Decor & Transmog
The Twilight Ascension pre-patch event for Midnight begins on January 27th and will last until March 2nd—the official release date for the Midnight expansion. Players can participate in a world event that rewards unique mounts, pets, transmog sets, and housing items that will not be available once Midnight launches.
This guide explains how the event works, what rewards are on offer, where to earn them, and why it’s critical to complete these objectives before the event ends.
How the Pre‑Patch Event Works
Twilight Ascension Event
During the pre‑patch, a world event called Twilight Ascension unfolds mainly in Twilight Highlands, a new zone added to the game for this event. Players of level 10 and above can take part.
The core currency of the event is Twilight’s Blade Insignia — earned by:
Completing world and weekly quests in Twilight Highlands
Defeating elite, rare, and event mobs
Participating in open‑world objectives related to the event
Once you gather Insignia, you spend it at event vendors stationed in hub areas like Ascension Base Camp to unlock rewards.
Event Mounts — Limited Time Only
Retrained Skyrazor
Price: ~100 Twilight’s Blade Insignia
This striking flying mount channels the twilight theme of the pre‑patch and will disappear once the event ends.
Light‑Forged Mechsuit
Reward Source: Achievement Two Minutes to Midnight
To earn this mount, you must participate in a specific event activity — defeating all mini‑bosses that spawn as part of the Twilight event.
This mount is tied directly to a limited achievement and won’t be obtainable after the pre‑patch window closes.
Pets You Can Collect
Several companion pets are available for purchase with Insignia during the event:
| Pet Name | Estimated Cost (Insignia) |
|---|---|
| Scruff | ~30 |
| Emerald Sporbit | ~30 |
| Ryay’Dahr | ~30 |
These pets are permanent additions to your collection but must be acquired before the event ends.
Housing Decor — Long‑Term Rewards
Housing decor items obtained during the event do carry over indefinitely, even after the event wraps up. These are ideal for players who want to design themed homes for the Midnight era.
Examples include:
Silvermoon Wooden Chair – ~50 Insignia
Enchanted Blood Elf Candelabra – ~50 Insignia
Sin’dorei Winged Chaise – ~75 Insignia
Housing items typically remain available for purchase at designated NPCs (such as Dethelin) after the event, but mounts and pets will not be.
Transmog & Cosmetic Gear
Event vendors sell a variety of transmog sets and cosmetic rewards that reflect the twilight theme:
Twilight Cultist Armor Set – cloth/plate leather visuals
Twilight Blade Weapon Appearances – themed weapon skins
These are especially sought after by collectors who want gear that only exists during this specific content window.
Catch‑Up / Champion Gear
If you have alts or characters that are under‑geared, the event vendors also offer catch‑up gear at relatively low requirement levels. These items help newer or under‑powered characters stay competitive into the Midnight expansion.
Typical catch‑up gear might include:
Armor around item level 121
Basic weapons
Starter trinkets and accessories
Cloth Gear | Leather Gear | Mail Gear | Plate Gear |
This equipment is intended to help players bridge the gap into the next expansion’s content.
Event Achievements
The pre‑patch introduces at least two meaningful achievements tied to its activities:
| Achievement | Reward |
|---|---|
| Two Minutes to Midnight | Light‑Forged Mechsuit mount + possible title |
| Crunching for Cultists | Event completion badge (no mount) |
These achievements are only obtainable during the event and cannot be earned once the pre‑patch ends.
Important Notes Before You Get Started
? Accessible from level 10 and up:
Unlike many seasonal activities tied to max level, this event is available to characters as low as level 10. That makes it ideal for alt progression.
? Recurring world event structure:
Twilight Ascension features repeatable world objectives, rare spawns, and quests that cycle over weeks, meaning your Insignia income improves as you play.
? Don’t delay:
Unlike regular content, once this event ends, many rewards — especially mounts and pets — will no longer be available.

Tips for Maximizing Your Progress
✅ Farm Insignia daily — focus on world quests and elite event objectives.
✅ Prioritize mounts and pets early — because they won’t be available later.
✅ Check vendor inventories often — stock refreshes may occur.
✅ Use characters of all levels — alt characters can accumulate rewards too.
✅ Track achievement progress — don’t miss the requirements for Two Minutes to Midnight.
Conclusion
The Midnight pre‑patch event offers a rare opportunity to earn unique rewards that are only available for a short window. With everything from flying mounts to collectible pets, housing decor, and thematic transmogs, this content is designed to be both fun and rewarding — but only if you participate while it’s active.
Mounts and pets from this event will not return once Midnight launches — so make your Insignia count!
