How to get it

Reward of the achievement Light Up the Night: earn the zone meta-achievement of each of Midnight's first four zones, Forever Song (Eversong Woods), Making an Amani Out of You (Zul'Aman), That's Aln, Folks! (Harandar) and Yelling into the Voidstorm (Voidstorm). Between them they are 24 smaller achievements: every treasure and rare of each zone, exploration, and a handful of events, two of which are held to one step a week, so the whole takes at least seven weeks.

Before you go

Forever Song (Eversong Woods), six achievements: 9 treasures, 15 rares (A Bloody Song), the zone explored, the 5 runestones each defended once (Runestone Rush), 7 unfinished paintings found (Ever Painting), and The Party Must Go On: all four Silvermoon factions (Blood Knights, Magisters, Farstriders, Shades of the Row) invited to Saltheril's Haven through the weekly quest Saltheril's Soiree, one faction a week · about 5 h over 3 weeks
Making an Amani Out of You (Zul'Aman), five achievements: 8 treasures, 15 rares (Tallest Tree in the Forest), the zone explored, one run of the Abundance event in each of its four caves, one in each zone (Abundance: Prosperous Plentitude!), and 24 named blessings of the Altar of Blessings each chosen and triggered once (Altar of Blessings: Sacred Buffet Devotee), for which every loa of the altar has to be unlocked · about 6 h
That's Aln, Folks! (Harandar), eight achievements: 9 treasures, 15 rares (Leaf None Behind), the zone explored, the flight up to the Cradle above The Den, 15 stacks of Predator's Pursuit in the world quest Claw Enforcement (No Time to Paws), all 120 Glowing Moths (Dust 'Em Off), and the two weekly ones: the seven relic stories of the Legends of the Haranir event (Legends Never Die), one a week, the last two only after the first five are done on one character, and the three lore objects inside each of those seven stories (Chronicler of the Haranir) · about 8 h over 6 weeks
Renown 9 with the Hara'ti: the last 40 of the 120 Glowing Moths only become collectable at that rank (they show on the minimap from Renown 11) · about 7 h over 3 weeks
Yelling into the Voidstorm (Voidstorm), five achievements: 13 treasures, 14 rares (The Ultimate Predator), the zone explored, staying ahead of the Hungering Presence for 60 seconds on a skyriding mount (Thrill of the Chase), and all three waves of the Stormarion Assault event won, which runs every 30 minutes in the south-west (A Singular Problem) · about 4 h

In all: about 30 h of play, spread over 6 weeks, starting from nothing.

Getting there

There is nowhere to travel for this one.

Notes and sources

The mount comes with the achievement Light Up the Night (Wowhead achievement 62386, added in patch 12.0.1, 40 points, account-wide progress). Its four criteria and their 24 sub-achievements are as the wiki lists them, and Icy Veins' four zone guides give coordinates for every treasure, rare, painting and cave. No place is given: the work is spread over four zones and the mount comes with the last achievement.

Seven weeks at the least. A 2026 Wowhead comment says that from the reset of 10 March the weekly relic story is once a week for the whole account, a reply confirms other characters no longer get the quest, and Wowhead's 2026 news calls it 'warbound-weekly'; Icy Veins (2026) still says the first five relics can be done in one week on five characters, which those reports contradict. Either way the last two relics open only after the first five on a single character. Choosing a relic for the week cannot be undone.

Warning, from Wowhead's 2026 news 'Missable Lore Objects Block Midnight Meta Achievements': the three lore objects of a relic story appear only inside that story's scenario, which a character cannot enter again once done. A missed object can then only be fetched by another character that has not done that story, in a later week, since the story is weekly for the Warband. A 2026 reply says the same quest can be done again in a different week; whether Blizzard has changed this since was not found, so pick up all three objects (magnifying glass on the minimap) on the first pass.

Moths: three sets of 40; this guide's Vivid Chloroceros puts the second set at Renown 4.

No Time to Paws: Icy Veins advises doing it in a raid group, where the world quest cannot complete under you; that is a tip, not a requirement.

wow.gg's 2026 guide has the same structure but garbled achievement names, and also says all side quest chains of each zone are needed, which neither the wiki's criteria nor Icy Veins support. A 2026 Wowhead comment expected the first completions on 14 April.

The hours are estimates throughout and are the weak part; nobody's total was found. The zone metas' own rewards (a toy, decor, titles) and the mounts that the zones' rares can drop are separate.

Confidence in this entry: medium. Looked up in 2026.
