Midnight Patch 12.0.5 OverviewRitual Sites Challenges and Rewards
Rotating between Zul'Aman and Eversong Woods each week, Ritual Sites are instanced activities that draw inspiration from Delves, Mythic+, and Horrific Visions, offering multiple tiers of difficulty for groups of 1-5 players.
/way 34.9 65.4 Daggerspine Point Ritual Site
Ritual Site: Daggerspine Point
/way 29.7 78.2 Broken Throne Ritual Site
Ritual Site: Broken Throne
Only one location is active each week, indicated by a icon on the in-game map.
Unlock Ritual Site Challenges for Increased Rewards
Challenges are what set Ritual Sites apart. Similar to Mythic+ affixes or Horrific Vision masks, they increase difficulty by imposing penalties or modifiers, in exchange for a "spoils modifier" increasing the amount of subsequent rewards, with higher difficulty tiers requiring more active challenges. Unlike affixes, players are given full control over what challenges they wish to face, allowing them to customize the challenge to suit their character.
Tier 3: Requires 1+ Active Challenge
Tier 4: Requires 2+ Active Challenges
Tier 5: Requires 4+ Active Challenges
Like Horrific Visions, the Challenges are not all immediately available and must be unlocked through a variety of criteria, ranging from specific difficulty tiers to random Ritual Chest drops. Managing these challenges is key to both a successful run and maximizing rewards, though some combinations can be scary indeed!

Ritual Site Rewards
Completing Ritual Sites awards Field Accolades based on the total amount of spoils earned, multiplied by the challenges enabled during that run. Players will also progress a unique Renown Track to unlock additional bonuses and perks over time.
Players can exchange those Field Accolades for Champion or Hero-track gear, void-colored versions of the Tier 2 Reforged sets, mounts, pets, and decor. There are also several rewards exclusively discovered within Ritual Chests, quests, or random treasures, so be on the lookout... or take a peek at our little cheat sheet below.

Note:
Transmog appearance cache items are not class specific, meaning players could potentially need to purchase over a dozen of the same cache before getting their desired class-specific transmog item. Because Paladins have two leg appearances and Druids have two chest appearances, it could potentially cost players 0 Field Accolade and 0 Voidlight Marl to get their desired appearance for the chest and legs slots, and up to 5 Field Accolade and 0 Voidlight Marl for every other armor slot. Without the ability to target appearances for specific classes, it could cost up to 5 Field Accolade and 0 Voidlight Marl to complete a specific set.
