Step-by-Step: How to Unlock the Voidforge
Step 1 — Reach Level 90 and progress the Voidstorm campaign. You must complete the quest Nexus-Point Xenas: Eclipse before Decimus will begin the Voidforge quest chain. This is a natural progression milestone, so most players actively levelling will hit it organically.
Step 2 — Collect 3× Elemental Voidcore Shards. You need to bring Elemental Voidcore Shards from Midnight Season 1 raid bosses, Bountiful Delves, and Mythic+ dungeons — it doesn’t matter which types of content you do. The fastest path? Queue for the LFR Voidspire — it requires only item level 220, and Looking for Raid difficulty counts, so just clear the first wing, loot the bosses, and return to Decimus with your three shards.
Step 3 — Complete the quest from Decimus. Once you hand over your three shards, Decimus casts Transmute Elemental Voidcore on you, officially unlocking the Voidforge.
What Can You Do With the Voidforge?
Players can use Nebulous Voidcores to more easily obtain specific equipment whether they’re chasing best-in-slot items on their main character or looking to quickly gear up their alts later in the season. Items obtained this way are removed from the loot pool on that difficulty — so you’ll never roll the same piece twice. You earn two Nebulous Voidcores per week, obtainable for gold, Veteran Dawncrest, or Voidlight Marl.
After completing the Voidforge, you can further help Decimus craft the Ascendant Nilhammer — which unlocks a second upgrade path for weapons and trinkets using Ascendant Voidcores, dropped from all major endgame content.
World of Warcraft: Midnight launched on March 2, 2026, and continues Azeroth’s fight against the Void with a reimagined Quel’Thalas as its primary setting.
