Collecting in World of Warcraft is the endgame activity that WoW players farm to achieve epic rewards. The best things gamers can collect in the game are battle pets, mounts, currencies, titles, toys, transmog appearances, and housing decor.
- Battle pets are one of the most popular collectibles in WoW. They come in a variety of species and rarities, and players can capture them in game locations or purchase them from vendors. To collect them, characters need to win the pet battles and complete achievements.
- Mounts are another popular World of Warcraft item to collect. Gamers farm these riding creatures to travel around Azeroth with an increased flying speed. Mounts have various forms and types – from undead horses to flying carpets. Rare mounts require gamers to complete quests and defeat bosses that drop reins with a low chance. In Midnight, players can earn over 60 new mounts through raids, Mythic+ achievements, the Prey system, faction renown, Delves, and open-world rares. Collecting 600 mounts on a single character unlocks the Anu’shalla, Shadow’s Guidance mount.
- Currency is also an important collectible part of the WoW game. Players use it to purchase goods and materials to boost their character’s power. In Midnight Season 1, key currencies include Dawncrests for gear upgrades, Voidlight Marl for faction renown rewards, Remnant of Anguish for Prey system mounts and gear, Unalloyed Abundance from the Abundance world event, and Sparks of Radiance for crafting endgame gear. Currencies drop during the leveling process and from profession orders.
- Titles are a unique WoW collectible that allows players to display their progress in certain aspects of the game. It is a prefix added to a character’s main name. Players achieve titles by completing achievements, participating in events, or reaching PvP rank on arena. Midnight Season 1 titles include Dawnbringer for Mythic: Midnight Falls, the Umbral for Midnight Keystone Conqueror at 1500+ Mythic+ rating, and Famed Slayer titles for Hall of Fame raid achievements.
- Toy collectibles – allow characters to combine game animations and mechanics. At the same time, some toys have helpful mechanics like teleportation or a mailbox.
- Transmog appearances are a major collectible category in World of Warcraft. Players collect armor and weapon appearances from raids, dungeons, PvP, quests, and crafting to customize the visual look of their characters. Midnight Season 1 introduces Tier 35 class sets with 6 color variations across raid difficulties and PvP ranks, along with new weapon and armor appearances from The Voidspire, The Dreamrift, and March on Quel’Danas raids.
- Housing decor is the newest collectible category added in Midnight. Players craft furniture, trophies, and decorations for their personal houses using materials gathered across all WoW expansions. Each crafting profession offers unique decor recipes, and lumber gathering provides the base material for most items. Housing decor comes from crafting, raid drops, achievements, vendors, and the Trading Post.
Collecting in WoW is a routine task, but with the right guide, this process turns into a challenging activity. It’s the main reason why gamers dive into the world of farming, reaching the expansion level cap. In Midnight, the collection ecosystem expanded with the Housing system, new Prey rewards, and over 45 new mounts at launch – giving collectors more goals than any previous WoW expansion at release.
