Your WoW weekly checklist

Updated on

Each WoW week has three things worth finishing per character before reset: raid bosses toward 2, 4 and 6 kills, dungeons toward 1, 4 and 8 completions, and world activities toward 2, 4 and 8. The list below puts them in the order that loses the least if you run out of time, with Season 2's weekly quests named and the reset instant for your region.

Next weekly reset (live)

Americas (US)
Europe (EU)
Korea (KR)
Taiwan (TW)

The weekly checklist that matters:

  • Raid bosses: 2 / 4 / 6 kills for vault slots
  • Mythic+ runs: 1 / 4 / 8 dungeons, at the highest level you can time
  • World row: 2 / 4 / 8 delves and world activities
  • Claim last week's vault before doing anything else

VaultAlts turns this checklist into a live dashboard for every character, with reset countdowns built in.

The checklist, in the order that loses least

A per character weekly checklist for Midnight Season 2, ordered by what one skipped step costs
StepCounts towardSlots atWhy here
Open last week's Great Vault and take the item or the tokensNothing new; it is the rewardIt is the only step that pays out; do it first on every alt
Run one dungeon of any kindDungeon row1, then 4 and 8One run of any dungeon opens the first slot; a keystone sets its item level
Do the weekly quests (the eight below)World row2, 4 and 8Short, per character, and the way VaultAlts reads the world row
Kill two raid bossesRaid row2, then 4 and 6Any difficulty counts; Heroic kills already put Myth 1/6 in the slot
Fill toward 8 dungeons, 6 bosses, 8 activitiesAll three rowsThe remaining slotsMore choices, not more items; your fourth and eighth best keys set the second and third dungeon slots

What each of those slots then pays is on how to get better Great Vault rewards, and how the rows work at all is on the Great Vault, explained simply.

When the week ends for you

The week ends at the weekly reset: Tuesday 15:00 UTC in the Americas, Wednesday 04:00 UTC in Europe, Wednesday 23:00 UTC in Korea and Taiwan, fixed in UTC across daylight saving. What clears at that instant and what does not is on the WoW weekly reset page. VaultAlts runs this checklist for every character at once and, if you turn it on, sends a reminder 24 hours and 6 hours before your region's reset naming the alt with the cheapest slot still open.

Frequently asked questions

What should I do first after the weekly reset?

Open the Great Vault on each character and take the item, or 6 Thalassian Tokens of Merit, or 1 Nebulous Voidcore if three or more slots were unlocked. It is the only step of the week that pays out, and it needs the game.

How many dungeons do I need for the full dungeon row?

Eight completed Heroic, Mythic 0, Mythic+ or Timewalking dungeons. The first slot opens at one, the second at four. Each slot's item level follows the lowest run that fills it, so the fourth and eighth best keys matter.

Which world activities count for the world row?

Delves, Prey hunts, Ritual Sites and other world activities, toward 2, 4 and 8. The item level follows the tier: Tier 8 Delves and Nightmare Prey reach Hero track. VaultAlts estimates this row from the weekly quests the API reports as completed.

Does the checklist reset at the same time everywhere?

No. Each region has its own instant: Tuesday 15:00 UTC in the Americas, Wednesday 04:00 UTC in Europe, Wednesday 23:00 UTC in Korea and Taiwan. The instants are fixed in UTC, so local times shift with daylight saving.

How to get better Great Vault rewards
Better Great Vault rewards come from the runs that set each slot, not from more runs. Which key levels, raid difficulties, Delve tiers and Prey modes reach the Hero and Myth tracks in Midnight Season 2, and how to plan the week around them.
The Great Vault, explained simply
How the Great Vault works in Midnight Season 2: the raid, dungeon and world rows, the 2/4/6, 1/4/8 and 2/4/8 thresholds, what sets each slot's item level, what you get if nothing fits, and when it opens in your region.
