In this part, you use the Wow Twilight Ascension event as a simple farm in Twilight Highlands, where you do world quests and kill ritual rares to get currency, then you buy rewards before Midnight. You earn Wow Twilight’s Blade Insignia, and you spend it at the pre-patch camp vendors for gear and cosmetics, plus one mount from a vendor and one mount from an achievement in World of Warcraft.

In World of Warcraft, you do the Twilight Ascension content in Twilight Highlands, then you turn your farming into rewards by spending WoW Twilight’s Blade Insignia at the event camp vendors, and by finishing one achievement for the WoW Light-Forged Mechsuit mount before Midnight. You can buy cosmetics like transmog and decor, you can buy one mount, and you can also grab catch-up gear that starts at item level 121 and upgrades up to 144, so you gear alts while you collect toys and pets.
