Priority Route Overview
The video promises a perfect route with priority, starting with what gives the most player power immediately, then moving into everything else for efficient progression.
[00:15]
Void Forge Questline First
On patch day, the first step is to finish the Void Forge questline in the Void, which unlocks massive item level boosts. Players should head to Decimus to complete this as much as possible.
[00:42]
Nebulous Void Cores Explained
Completing the Void Forge questline grants Nebulous Void Cores, a new version of bonus loot. After Mythic Plus, Raids, or Battle for Dungeons, use a Void Core to get an additional piece of loot from that activity.
[01:09]
Void Core Loot Pool Removal
Every time you get an item using a Void Core, that item is removed from the loot pool for that activity on that difficulty. This allows players to eventually force the exact item they want, such as a best-in-slot trinket from Mythic Gaze of the Onseer.
[01:36]
Void Cores and Mythic Plus
Using a Void Core after completing a Mythic Plus 10 key gives loot that scales with your Great Vault item level, potentially granting Mythic track gear. There is a weekly limit on Void Cores, so use them wisely.
[02:05]
Void Core Usage Tips
Never use Void Cores on hero track items; target myth track loot as much as possible. Use them at mythic rating level or Mythic Plus 10 level, as hero gear is easy to obtain and not worth the limited resource.
[02:18]
Ascendant Void Cores
Ascendant Void Cores are unlocked via a questline and allow full upgrade of best gear (weapons or trinkets) to item level 298. The questline starts from Decimus in the Void Storm, but the exact timing is uncertain.
[03:01]
Ritual Sites and Void Assaults
Ritual sites and void assaults are next in priority. Grab the ritual sites quest in Silvermoon, complete side quests to unlock affixes, and scale through challenge modes to earn field accolades.
[03:40]
Field Accolades and Rewards
Field accolades can be spent at a vendor for champion or hero track gear in a chest. Higher challenge levels and more affixes yield substantially more accolades. The vendor also sells random tier two recolored cosmetics for five accolades each.
[04:46]
Ritual Site Renown Track
Progressing through ritual sites also pushes the ritual site renown track, which rewards mounts, cosmetics, currencies, and other character progression items.
[04:59]
Void Assaults for Alts
Void assaults are open-world versions of ritual sites that give caches at the end. They are not powerful for characters above 270 item level but are good for leveling alts and earning currencies for end-game content.
[05:39]
Abyssal Anglers Event
The abyssal anglers event is for fun, cosmetics, housing decorations, and farming fused vitality for epic crafting tools. It involves a diving system in Zul'Aman where you collect resources before running out of air.
[06:47]
Legendary Fish and Diving Tips
There is a super rare legendary fish with 99 armor that likely requires a group or raid. For high scores, dash around and pick up treasures rather than killing fish, as it's easier and more efficient.
[07:15]
Day Core Duels
Day core duels offer no player power, only cosmetics and housing items, including old Silvermoon city guard items. This content is optional for those interested in fun or cosmetic rewards.
[08:07]
New Mythic Plus Achievements
Blizzard added new achievements: Keystone Myth (3,400 Mythic Plus rating) rewards a Time Lost Saddle to choose a mount from Lindormi, including previous Keystone Master and Legend mounts. Top 1% players get a new exclusive mount.
[08:57]
Mount Guide by Dalaran Gaming
Dalaran Gaming released a video breaking down how to get every new mount this patch. The creator recommends checking it out for those interested in mount collecting.
[09:35]
Patch Day Checklist
The video concludes with a checklist: start with Void Forge questline, use bonus rolls on Mythic Plus 10s or mythic track raid, do weekly delve treasure map, farm ritual sites with high challenges and affixes, consider tier two cosmetics, level alts via void assaults, and enjoy fun events like diving and day core duels.
The video provides a clear, prioritized guide for maximizing rewards in Patch 12.0.5, emphasizing the Void Forge questline and wise use of Void Cores. It also highlights optional content for cosmetics and fun, and encourages players to follow the checklist for efficient progression.

[00:01] paths, and things of importance, I'm going to give you the perfect route with priority, starting with what gives you the most player power immediately, then moving into everything else after that, so you can progress through it as
[00:15] efficiently as possible. Without wasting any more time, let's jump into it. So firstly, on patch day, before you farm or jump in any new content, step number one absolutely needs to be finishing your Void Forge questline in the Void
[00:28] with your weekly progression, you should be on the final step now and unlocking massive to shooting your item level as quickly as possible this patch. Now, if day before the patch releases, so this should be your heads-up in going to
[00:42] Decimus in the Void Forge and knocking this out as much as you can because about becomes more valuable once this is unlocked. Now, once you complete the Void Forge questline, you gain something called the Nebulous Void Cores, and
[00:55] these are essentially a brand new version of bonus loot. Quick TLDR, after Mythic Plus, Raids, Battle for Dungeons, one of these Void Cores to get an additional piece of loot from that exact
[01:09] activity. Every time you get an item using a Void Core, that item is actually removed from the loot pool for that activity on that difficulty. So over table until you're basically forcing the exact item you want. So for example, a
[01:23] this on something like Mythic Gaze of the Onseer in the new raid, which is of course the best in slot for most DPS specs in the game. Also, when it comes to Mythic Plus, it's important to know that if you use a Void Core after
[01:36] completing a Mythic Plus 10 key, it will give you loot that scales with your Great Vault item level, meaning you can get Mythic track gear from that as well, remember that there is a limit on how many of these you get and you're able to
[01:51] use per week, so you don't want to just throw them around randomly. You want to whether it's a specific trinket, a weapon, or a major upgrade slot in general. I highly recommend never using this on a hero track item, and targeting
[02:05] as much myth track loot as possible. Either use your bonus rolls at mythic, you know, rating level, of course, I know it's difficult, but there, or use it at a mythic plus 10 level. Anything else you're using on hero gear that's
[02:18] time at this point with how easy gearing is in World of Warcraft. So, don't make this mistake as you only get a limited amount of these. Then, the best part is ascendant void cores. This is a questline that unlocks, and you're able
[02:33] to fully upgrade your best gear, whether it be weapon or trinkets, to push their item level to 298. So, to simplify and tell you exactly things first, complete the questline for Decimus for the void forge, upgrade it,
[02:48] exactly when we'll be able to make our, you know, 298 weapons and trinkets. It could be as early as this week, it could be next week. I tried to test it on the would just reset my quest progress, which sucked. So, be on the lookout for
[03:01] that as it should just be another quest chain that you accept from Decimus to start in the void storm. Next up, in terms of more things that can give you less than the void forge, but it's going to be the ritual sites and void assaults
[03:15] events. First up, of course, you want to make sure you grab your ritual sites quest out in Silvermoon to kick all of this off. From there, you grab all the side quests to complete, which are just pretty much there to help you unlock all
[03:27] of the affixes for ritual sites. So, the second you head to a site, you have to start at a low-level challenge mode and not really have anything unlocked. And you're completing the quests that are incredibly basic, you turn them in, you
[03:40] continue to scale through the challenge mode. The whole system rewards you with a currency called field accolades, and the idea is if you gather enough of these field accolades, you can take them to a vendor to purchase champion or hero
[03:53] track gear in a chest. Understand that the higher in challenge you go with ritual sites and the more affixes tied to everything, you'll substantially earn at once. So, the idea of course is very simple here. Turn on as many
[04:06] affixes as you can at the highest challenge level possible to earn as many accolades as you can. Not only that, to earn some of the highest rewards for these field accolades and spend them on chest at the vendor, which will then
[04:19] give you a random piece of tier two recolored cosmetic. This is right next to the gear vendor, and you have to understand these are only five accolades each, but when you buy them, you get a random cosmetic from them. It's just
[04:32] absolutely ridiculous that we have to purchase these at random instead of just buying a complete set that we want, but it is what it is. It's not too hard to progressing through these will also push you through the ritual site renown
[04:46] track, which can give you a wide variety of rewards as well. This is a simple such as mounts, cosmetics, currencies, and other rewards for your character to progress through. Now, when it comes to the void assaults, the open world
[04:59] versions of ritual sites that give cache at the end of each one that you finish. They give you a wide variety of And listen, the truth of the matter is is if you're anywhere between hero track
[05:13] and mythic track gear and you're like above 270 item level, you're really not power. However, these could be potentially big up some alternate a group that can farm them out efficiently. Not only could it be pretty
[05:26] good for XP, but completing these through testing, they could also give currencies as well, which could be really nice the second you hit max level end game content such as raid and mythic plus and stuff like that. So, it could
[05:39] be pretty good for alternate characters to get them ready to go. Now, when it content, the first one is the abyssal anglers. This one really isn't for player power as well. It's more for fun, a couple cosmetics, housing decorations,
[05:53] and it's a pretty good way to farm fused vitality, which is used to create your epic crafting tools right now in Midnight World of Warcraft. So, simply up in the northeast section of Zul'Aman. He gives you a little introductory quest
[06:06] into the diving system. You go down in there and you do your thing. You hunt collect as much stuff as you can before you have to go back up for air. very out here. You don't need any crazy in-depth guide. Complete the quest, have
[06:20] some fun, and earn your currency. Now, there's also achievements tied to this achievements, you can purchase better diving equipment so you can stay down there a longer during the event and just generally do more stuff efficiently and
[06:33] collect more resources at once, which is kind of cool. So, that could be stuff and really farm it out and you know, collect everything. Uh I would say very straightforward in the event. crazy to break your head over. One thing that
[06:47] super rare legendary fish that has like 99 armor attached to it, which seemed you're going to have to do this with a group or a raid or something, but I'm excited to see the reward for this bad boy nevertheless. One quick tip when I
[07:02] found for optimizing the event, I just found the best way to earn a high score is to simply just dash around and pick up treasures. I actually think they need from killing fish cuz killing fish is substantially harder than just simply
[07:15] flying around getting the treasures. So, also when it comes to the day core dual, honestly, there's absolutely nothing of power here at all to improve your simply for fun, and you get a couple cosmetics as well as some housing
[07:28] staves, little polearms, one-handed sword, dagger, bow, and even a shield guard items back in the old Silvermoon city, which I actually thought was a really cool cuz I've always wanted that. Not only that, there are a couple
[07:42] housing items here. So, all in all, if you're not into anything for cosmetic or I guess technically fun, you really don't need to do any of this content if earn some of this stuff, like the cosmetics, housing items, you know,
[07:54] little mount, play the game a little bit, have some fun, goof off, you can do that and uh it's as simple as that. Really quick, also wanted to touch on a this season that Blizzard added out of nowhere. First up, you have the brand
[08:07] Keystone Myth. And this is earned by hitting 3,400 mythic plus rating. And will get something called a Time Lost Saddle. And this lets you go to
[08:19] Lindormi, the panda lady, for the, you know, whole mythic plus system, and choose a mount of your choice, including a variety of new mounts, but also previous Keystone Master and Keystone Legend mounts from old seasons. So, if
[08:32] exclusive, you know, mounts and stuff like that, definitely go after these. which you need to earn by hitting the top 1% of mythic plus players in your region, and this rewards you with a brand new exclusive mount. So, this is
[08:45] basically your, you know, gladiator equivalent for the mythic plus system. mounts because it wasn't active on the PTR as of testing. So, I guess we'll have to see how all of this looks uh on the reset. Also, to quickly wrap it up,
[08:57] coming this patch as well. To be completely transparent, there's a lot of this stuff and I don't really know how to get. And personally, I'm not a mount cared for mounts and I'm definitely not going to go for them over on the PTR,
[09:09] but Dalaran Gaming put out a really awesome video just the other day, literally breaking down how to get every brand new mount this patch. Really content forever. If you've ever played WoW, you definitely know who Dalaran
[09:21] Gaming is. So, if you're interested, go check out his video. Awesome content. there. Now, okay, now really quick, don't want to waste your time. I'm going checklist on what to do start to finish the second you log into this patch, so
[09:35] little route. I highly recommend screenshotting this at the end, having it ready on your second monitor when patch day arrives. So, first and foremost, kick off your day with the Void Forge questline and unlock and
[09:47] going to be the biggest power spike available to us at the moment. The bonus game-changing at this moment in time. And if you're going to use your bonus Mythic plus 10 dungeons for myth track loot or mythic raid kills as hero gear
[10:04] at this point is kind of going to become obsolete and these are pretty rare to get. So, only use these bonus rolls on Mythic plus 10s or mythic track raid like hero track items, I highly recommend of course doing your weekly
[10:17] delve treasure map, but also farming out ritual sites as much as you can. When best to complete as many high challenges as possible with as many affixes as possible to increase your score as quickly as you can to buy as many chests
[10:31] as possible. If you're looking for just the tier two HDV remastered cosmetics, instead if you don't want to use these tokens on player power. If you're looking to level up some alternate characters or find other ways to farm
[10:44] assaults out in the open world as well. If you're looking for some fun activities to do, complete the diving event as well as day core duels as rewards. And don't forget about the 3400 mythic plus achievement as well as the
[10:57] top 1% achievement for mythic plus this season. Lastly, if you're looking to check out Dalaran's video down in the description below. But yes, ladies and today's video on exactly what to do to get all the rewards from patch 12.0.5
[11:12] of this video. Don't forget take that screenshot, pull it up on your second next one. By the way, if you guys are interested over on our second channel, consistently talking about the state of World of Warcraft, all things coming,
