How to Acquire Ascendant Voidcores in Midnight Season 1
After crafting the Ascendant Nilhammer, players are rewarded with an Ascendant Voidshard. To create an Ascendant Voidcore, players will need 5 Ascendant Voidshards. Ascendant Voidshards drop with a 100% drop rate from the following Midnight Season 1 end-game content:
Heroic and Mythic Raid Boss Kills
+10 and Higher Keystone Mythic+ Dungeons
Tier 11 Bountiful Delves
Nightmare-difficulty Prey
Ritual Sites also drop Ascendant Voidshards, but not at 100% drop chance. Tier 5 Ritual Sites have the highest chance of dropping Voidshards, with Tiers 1-4 having lower drop rates. Unfortunately, we do not know the exact % chance for Ritual Site drop rates.
Ascendant Voidshards do not have any cap, meaning players can collect Ascendant Voidshards and turn them into Ascendant Voidcores immediately.
