Void Assaults are one of the main open-world features added in Patch 12.0.5, giving players a repeatable weekly event that rotates between Eversong Woods and Zul'Aman. Rather than being a one-time side activity, this system creates a steady outdoor progression loop built around zone-wide assaults, shared objectives, and recurring rewards. That makes it relevant not just for casual open-world play, but also for anyone looking to add another efficient source of catch-up value.
This guide covers the full structure of Void Assaults, including how to unlock the event, how its core activities work, and what kind of rewards you can get from it. If you want a clearer picture of where to start, what to focus on inside the assault loop, and which collectibles, currencies, and gear rewards make it worth doing, this section will walk you through the essentials.
Once Patch 12.0.5 launches it automatically starts the Void Assaults introduction by pushing Ranger Captain's Summons to your character, which sends you into the Silvermoon City event hub and points you toward the key NPCs tied to the system. If that quest does not appear automatically, you can go straight to Ranger Captain Lilatha on the upper level of the Bazaar in Silvermoon City at /way #2393 48.23 49.64.
After the short onboarding chain, you unlock Void Strike, which serves as your first direct step into the activity itself. Finishing that quest opens the actual weekly assault quest for the active zone, either Void Assaults: Zul'Aman or Void Assaults: Eversong Woods, depending on which area is currently under attack.
Void Strikes are the faster, repeatable part of the Void Assault loop. They work like short open-world objectives that appear across the currently assaulted zone and can be cleared either solo or alongside other players nearby. Once one Strike is finished, another quickly appears elsewhere in the same area, so the activity keeps rotating instead of stopping after a single completion.
Each Strike has its own map marker, which makes it easy to follow the chain from one objective to the next without wasting time. Inside the event, progress is shared with everyone taking part, so most Strikes are completed by filling a simple bar through combat or other basic interactions in the area. When a Void Strike ends, it rewards a Field Pouch containing Voidlight Marl, Field Accolade, and a small amount of gold.
Void Incursions are the larger payoff phase of the event and only become available after enough Void Strikes have been completed in the active zone. The buildup toward them is shared across the entire area, so every finished Strike helps push the same progress bar forward. Once the Incursion begins, the event shifts into a defense sequence where players deal with several enemy waves before a mini-boss appears at the end.
Like Void Strikes, Incursions have their own world map marker, so they are easy to spot once the zone reaches that stage. After the mini-boss is defeated, the Incursion ends and the cycle resets, meaning the next one has to be charged again through more Void Strikes. Completing an Incursion rewards a Field Satchel, which contains a larger payout of Voidlight Marl, Field Accolade, and gold than the smaller Strike cache.
Void Incursions follow a fixed sequence, so the event becomes much easier to read after one or two runs. Instead of throwing every objective at you at once, it moves through a short setup period, an initial defense push, a support phase around nearby objectives, and a final boss at the end.
Void Assaults are easy to understand once you step into them, but a few small choices make the farm much smoother. The event pays off best when you treat it like a short loop you stay inside long enough to reach the stronger reward window, not like a one-and-done world quest:
Void Assaults are built around Field Accolade, the main event currency you earn while progressing through the activity. Once you start building a stockpile, that currency turns into the two reward paths that matter most in Silvermoon City: catch-up gear on one side and Void-themed cosmetics on the other. That gives the event a broader purpose than a basic outdoor loop, since the same farm supports both character upgrades and collection progress.
The reward structure becomes much easier to follow once you break the vendors down by function. Maren Silverwing covers the gearing side with Champion and Hero-track caches, while Triam Dawnsetter focuses on Void-themed cosmetics and transmog caches. Sergeant Vornin rounds out the lineup with the event's mount and pet rewards, giving Void Assaults a separate collectible path on top of gear and cosmetics.
The main Void Assault reward vendors are grouped together in Silvermoon City, so you do not need to run between multiple hubs to spend your currency. The vendor cluster shown for the Field Accolade reward loop is located at /way #2393 48.2 49.6.
| Vendor | Purpose | Location |
|---|---|---|
| Maren Silverwing | Champion and Hero-track gear caches, plus Field Accolade Pouch turn-ins | Silvermoon City, /way #2393 48.2 49.6 |
| Triam Dawnsetter | Void cosmetics, transmog caches, and the Void recolors of the T2 Reforged sets | Silvermoon City, /way #2393 48.2 49.6 |
| Sergeant Vornin | Mount and pet rewards unlocked through Void Assault achievements | Silvermoon City, /way #2393 48.2 49.6 |
Dark Particles adds another layer to the reward loop. After collecting enough of them, you can trade them to Maren Silverwing for a Field Accolade Pouch, which gives you an extra way to turn related Patch 12.0.5 farming into more Field Accolades.
Void Assaults cosmetics are built around a much heavier Void visual identity than the base Midnight outdoor rewards. Instead of introducing a completely separate armor family, Patch 12.0.5 uses Void-themed recolors of the T2 Reforged sets, which gives the whole collection a sharper purple-and-shadow look. The transmog side of the event is handled by Triam Dawnsetter in Silvermoon City.
The important detail is that you are not buying exact appearances one by one. Triam sells slot-based caches, so your farm is organized around opening weapon, helm, shoulder, cloak, chest, wrist, glove, belt, leg, and boot caches rather than targeting one precise model directly.
| Item | Type | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Cache of Void-Touched Weapons | Weapon | 10 Field Accolades 200 Voidlight Marl |
| Cache of Void-Touched Headgear | Helm | 5 Field Accolades 150 Voidlight Marl |
| Cache of Void-Touched Shoulderwear | Shoulder | 5 Field Accolades 150 Voidlight Marl |
| Cache of Void-Touched Cloaks | Cloak | 5 Field Accolades 150 Voidlight Marl |
| Cache of Void-Touched Chestpieces | Chest | 5 Field Accolades 150 Voidlight Marl |
| Cache of Void-Touched Bracers | Wrist | 5 Field Accolades 150 Voidlight Marl |
| Cache of Void-Touched Gloves | Gloves | 5 Field Accolades 150 Voidlight Marl |
| Cache of Void-Touched Belts | Belt | 5 Field Accolades 150 Voidlight Marl |
| Cache of Void-Touched Legwear | Legs | 5 Field Accolades 150 Voidlight Marl |
| Cache of Void-Touched Boots | Boots | 5 Field Accolades 150 Voidlight Marl |
These caches are random. Even if you buy the right slot, you are still rolling for the appearance you want, so finishing one exact transmog set can take longer than the table makes it look at first glance.
Void Assaults are not limited to gear, currencies, and transmog. The event also adds a small collectible layer with one mount and several pets, giving you another reason to keep farming the activity after the basic catch-up rewards stop being the main draw.
Some of these collectibles are tied to achievement progress and can then be picked up from Sergeant Vornin, while others come from the upgraded Wriggling Field Pouch reward. In practice, that means the section is split between long-term unlocks and lower-probability pouch drops.
| Reward | Type | How to Get | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Unbound Manawyrm | Mount | Purchase from Sergeant Vornin | Unlocked through Void Response Team |
| Cappy | Pet | Purchase from Sergeant Vornin | Unlocked through Cosmic Exterminator |
| Wriggling Capybara | Pet | Chance to drop from Wriggling Field Pouch | Random pouch reward |
| Curious Lynx Kitten | Pet | Chance to drop from Wriggling Field Pouch | Random pouch reward |
Have a quick look at how awesome the Void Assaults event mount looks:
The achievement pool tied to Void Assaults does more than pad out the activity with extra checkmarks. Some entries are straightforward progress targets you will complete naturally while farming the event, while others matter because they connect to larger unlocks and longer-term collection goals. That makes this part of the system worth tracking from the start instead of treating it as cleanup for later.
If you plan to spend more than a few sessions in Void Assaults, keeping an eye on these achievements early will save time and help you avoid inefficient backtracking. The full list is split between general event achievements and zone-specific sets for Eversong Woods and Zul'Aman:
This Void Assaults FAQ is meant for the players who want the key answers first. If you do not need a full breakdown of every system step, this section gives you a quicker way to understand how the event works, how to unlock it, and what you get from doing it.
Instead of sending you through the entire guide to find one detail at a time, the FAQ pulls together the most practical points in one place. It is the fastest way to check the basics of Void Strikes, Void Incursions, rewards and currencies:
Void Assaults pay out more than one type of reward, which is why the event has real catch-up value instead of feeling like filler world content. Alongside Field Accolades, you can also earn Champion Dawncrests, Coffer Key Shards, Voidlight Marl, and event containers such as Field Pouches and Field Satchels. On top of that, the activity also helps feed your broader weekly progression through Great Vault world-content credit.
To open the system, head to Silvermoon City and pick up the introductory Void Strike quest from Ranger Captain Lilatha. Finishing that first step is what activates the event properly and gives you access to the rest of the weekly Assault cycle.
Void Incursions do not begin on their own at fixed intervals. They are triggered once players in the active Assault zone push the shared progress bar far enough by clearing Void Strikes. Because that progress is communal, other players in the zone contribute to the same buildup even if you are not in a group with them.
Midnight Void Assaults are a Patch 12.0.5 outdoor activity built around two connected event types: Void Strikes and Void Incursions. They rotate between Eversong Woods and Zul'Aman and serve as a repeatable open-world loop that awards Field Accolades, gear-related rewards, and Great Vault progress.
Field Accolades mainly come from participating in Void Assault content and other connected Patch 12.0.5 activities. You can also gather Dark Particles and exchange 100 of them for a Field Accolade Pouch, which gives you another way to build up the currency over time.
Void Strikes are the faster, smaller objectives inside an active Assault zone. Only one is up at a time, and once players finish it, the next Strike appears somewhere else in the same area. That creates a rolling event chain where the zone keeps moving from one objective to the next until enough progress has been built for an Incursion.
Yes. Void Assaults contribute to the World Content portion of the Great Vault, which gives the event weekly relevance even after the basic rewards stop being new. Void Incursions can also help lead into Champion-track loot through that same reward path.
