Key takeaways
- Easier Mythic Unlocks: Fully upgrading Hero-tier gear (6/6 or 8/8) now grants Mythic-tier appearances, even from lower difficulty content.
- Automatic Lower-Tier Unlocks: Earning the highest-tier gear automatically unlocks all lower-tier transmog appearances.
- More Accessible Collecting: These updates make WoW Midnight class set and raid weapon appearance upgrades far more rewarding for casual players.
In a recent community update, Blizzard’s Community Manager Kaivax confirmed that World of Warcraft: Midnight will allow players to unlock Mythic raid appearances by fully upgrading their gear. This change aims to give casual players and transmog collectors the chance to enjoy all Midnight Season 1 tier set appearances, without needing to complete Mythic difficulty raids.

Class set and raid weapon upgrades change explained
In a recent community post, Blizzard has announced some changes to Mythic tier set appearance collecting.
“In Midnight, we’re maintaining that functionality with a clearer trigger: reach the highest level of power within a tier, and you unlock the next tier’s appearance. Class set and raid weapon appearances will now change after the item has been fully upgraded to 6/6 on its upgrade track.”
— Kaivax, comunity manager.
This means that once a player fully upgrades their gear (6/6 or 8/8 depending on the track), they’ll automatically unlock the appearance of the next difficulty tier: for example, Mythic-tier looks from Hero-tier gear.
What this means for players
Previously, players needed to obtain Myth track gear to unlock Mythic-tier transmog appearances. Now, under the new Midnight system, Hero 6/6 or Hero 8/8 gear (After Turbo Boost update), will grant Mythic-tier appearances once fully upgraded.
This means that obtaining gear from Heroic raids, mega-dungeons, lower Mythic+ keys, or even World Bosses will now allow players who fully upgrade that gear to unlock the Mythic raid appearance. This change will make it much easier for casual players and non-Mythic raiders to enjoy the high-end visuals of their class sets without having to push into the game’s most difficult content tiers.
However, Mythic appearances will still be hard to obtain as they will require lots of Crests and time.
Another major change: Automatic Lower-Tier Unlocks
Blizzard is also simplifying how raid difficulty appearances are handled. In Midnight, earning the highest-tier gear (such as Mythic) will automatically unlock all lower-tier appearances. This means players won’t have to grind through each difficulty level just to complete their transmog collections.
This system-wide improvement makes it far easier for collectors and transmog enthusiasts to complete their sets and enjoy the full visual range of each raid’s designs.
