Fixed an issue where players could begin Curse of Ula'tek campaign quests without first completing the main Midnight campaign.

• Developers' notes: The Curse of Ula'tek campaign was intended to require account completion of the main Midnight campaign before it could be started, as completing these features out of order could result in players being in a misleading or confusing state. Players who have not yet started the Curse of Ula'tek campaign must now complete the main Midnight campaign on one character per account. Any player-characters who have already started the Curse of Ula'tek campaign should be unaffected and can continue it and complete it.

Arriving with the start of Midnight Season 2, players face Ula'tek herself in the Venomous Abyss.

• This new raid dungeon will feature eight new boss encounters and you'll ultimately face off against Ula'tek as the final boss.

Player health and creature damage has been increased by 25% at max level. Health consumable values have been adjusted to match new health values.

• Developers' notes: In Curse of Ula'tek, we've decided to increase player health and enemy damage by 25% for max level players. We've made similar adjustments at the start of Midnight and also in early Dragonflight. Our intent is for damage to be less spiky and for healing gameplay to be more satisfying. When healing is too bursty, enemies have to be tuned to deal spiky damage which requires quick reactions to survive, and we feel that leads to unsatisfying and more stressful gameplay. While we are increasing overall creature damage with this change, we are hand tuning encounter abilities to deal appropriate damage alongside these changes to meet our goals. We're also making adjustments to several healing and absorb spells for DPS and Tank specializations so that they retain their relative impact.

Morning Breeze effectiveness reduced by 60%.

• Developers' notes: Morning Breeze's value is being adjusted down in accordance with the Mastery: Gust of Mist increases in Curse of Ula'tek. This should leave the talent's effectiveness at a similar overall level.

Adjusted delve Coffer Key Shard amounts from multiple sources.

• Developers' notes: We have tuned Coffer Key Shard acquisition to reflect the addition of more sources with the Curse of Ula'tek update. Our goal is to reward players who choose to spend their time engaging with new content in the Coiled Isles, while still providing players the ability to earn Coffer Key Shards from all sorts of outdoor features throughout Midnight. These adjustments are still ongoing and are a work in progress.
