Midnight Season 2

What every keystone level actually pays.

End-of-dungeon loot, Great Vault rewards and crests for every key level in Midnight Season 2, plus the mounts, titles and portals the season hands out. Loot stops scaling at +10 - past that you are pushing for rating, crests and the next achievement, and knowing that changes which keys are worth your evening.

Loot per keystone level

The vault column is also what a Nebulous Voidcore bonus roll pays at that key level. Vault choices unlock at 1 / 4 / 8 dungeons for the week.

  • End-of-dungeon loot caps at +10 (311, Hero 3/6). Vault loot caps at +10 too (318, Myth 1/6) - higher keys add rating and crests, not item level.
  • +9 upgrades only the crest to Myth; the gear tracks do not move at +9.
  • Mistcrest amounts per key level are not confirmed, so this table names the tier and no count.
  • Timed completion drops two player-unique pieces; each player loots the chest. A Nebulous Voidcore can be spent at run end on a class-table bonus roll at the vault-column item level.
  • Tier set pieces are not direct M+ drops - they come from the Great Vault dungeon slots.

Before you push another key

Numbers are for Midnight Season 2 (patch 12.1.0, live 2026-08-18) and were cross-checked against two independent loot tables; a third widely shared chart disagreed with itself and was rejected. Crest quantities per key level are not published anywhere reliable, so this page names the crest tier and refuses to guess a count.
