Ultimate Guide to Abundance in WoW: Midnight Expansion

Written By Moudi .

Abundance is a profession-themed world event introduced in Patch 12.0.0 "Midnight," featuring Dundun, the Loa of Abundance. It takes place in caverns across the four Midnight zones (Quel'Thalas, Zul'Aman, and others like Voidstorm and Hallowfall—rotations confirmed via zone events). Players (level 90+) enter timed caves (3 minutes) to farm "Abundance" treasure from mob kills, gathering nodes, and special interactables. Donate to altars inside to upgrade carry capacity, speed, stats, and pickup radius via Dundun's Blessing of Abundance. Un-donated treasure is lost at timer end. Scoreboards rank personal and public contributions; public hits 10k for bonuses like Dundun spawns dropping extra orbs.

There are two entry types:

  • Free Entry (Crappy/Low-Reward): No cost, minimal Unalloyed Abundance payout (e.g., 300+ lowest). Avoid for farming.

  • Empowered Entry (Paid/High-Reward): Costs 1 Shard of Dundun (currency ID 3376, weekly cap 8 total across chars). Rewards Unalloyed Abundance, based on score, 300 lowest, 600 low average, 900 average 900+ above average. Max 8 empowered runs/week.

Unlocking Abundance

  1. Head to Chel the Chip in Amani'Zar Village, Zul'Aman.

  2. Pick up the starting quest for a short tutorial questline introducing Dundun and mechanics.

  3. Unlocks access to events, weekly quests, and vendor.

Weekly Quest

From Chel the Chip (post-unlock):

  • Weekly: Abundance – Complete 1 empowered Abundance run.

  • Rewards: Gold, Coffee Shards (50 extra first time), Veteran gear, 200 Voidlight Marl, Overflowing Abundant Satchel, 2 Shards of Dundun, 2,000 rep (first week).

  • Provides 2 Shards—perfect for alts.

Abundance Types & Rotations

Four fixed "hidden" caves (not always on map):

  • Abundance of Skinning (Evang Woods? – Best for farming).

  • Abundance of Enchanting (Crypt).

  • Abundance of Mining.

  • Abundance of Herbalism (one in Zul'Aman area).

One rotating event (purple triangle on map) spawns daily/half-daily in zones like Zul'Aman, Voidstorm, Hallowfall. Prioritize skinning rotation for efficiency—kills auto-skin at drop-off altars for double Abundance yield.

Abundance Types & Rotations
Type Zone Example Interactable Example Boon Example
Skinning Evang Woods Drum Primary stats (more kills/drops)
Enchanting Crypt Statue (25 Enchanting req) Boon of Alacrity (move speed)
Mining Hidden cave Nodes TBD (gathering boost?)
Herbalism Zul'Aman area Flowers TBD

Profession Boons: Matching prof unlocks bonuses (e.g., disenchant statues). Unlock all for Boon of Prosperity (doubles harvest 30s). Recent patch addition for prof power.

Rotations: Every 8 hours; check map for active one.

Best Way to Farm Abundance & Shards

Shards of Dundun (Key to Empowered Runs)

  • Weekly cap: 8 total (per charater).

  • Sources: Outdoor activities in Zul'Aman, gathering (mining/herbs/skin) in Midnight zones, Patron Crafting Orders.

  • BEST METHOD: Farm respawning treasures in Zul'Aman—high drop rate. Ignore slow gathering/orders.

Inside the Event (Maximize Unalloyed Abundance)

  1. Pull all mobs to drop-off altars (Dundun statues). Kills auto-loot to bag + directly contribute/clear bag. No manual looting runs.

  2. Skinning > Others: Altar skins = bonus yield (900+ scores easy).

  3. Group Up: Public bar fills faster (10k bonus: Multiple Dunduns spawn, fart orbs—chase for massive gains). Premade or LFG.

  4. Multi-Boxing: Put alts on /follow leader. All get orbs/credit toward public bonus.

  5. Check Public Bar Pre-Entry: Near-full? Join for quick bonus.

  6. Timer: 3 mins—prioritize pulls over nodes.

Solo? Still group—don't solo empowered runs.

Scores: 300 min (free), 900+ optimal (empowered skinning group).
