What Weapon Route Should Unholy DK Follow in Midnight Season 1?
For most players, the cleanest Unholy route is still a Two-Handed setup first.
Your best raid weapon target is Bellamy’s Final Judgement,
but your long-term crafted BiS still centers on cloak and wrists. If your weapon slot is weak, an early
Blood Knight’s Mercy with
Darkmoon Sigil: Hunt is often the smartest early craft until a strong 2H drops.
Best default route
Two-Handed is the practical default if you want one stable gearing path with the cleanest raid and weekly progression.
Best raid weapon target
Bellamy’s Final Judgement is still the main weapon target and one of your biggest direct raid spikes.
Best early craft logic
If your weapon is behind, Blood Knight’s Mercy with Darkmoon Sigil: Hunt is the cleanest early craft. Your final crafted BiS still leans back toward cloak and wrists with Arcanoweave Lining.
Simple Unholy weapon rule
Do not overcomplicate the first step: if your weapon is weak, fix it early with a strong crafted 2H route.
If you already have a strong weapon, keep your long-term craft plan on cloak and wrists while you push toward the raid 2H endgame target.

Which Tier Set Pieces Do I Want?
Preferred 4-piece route
Helmet, Chest, Gloves, and Legs
What to avoid first
Tier shoulders are weaker first because the secondary stats do not line up as well with Unholy priorities.
Tier route note
Use raid tokens and catalyst for stability. Dreamrift helps smooth the chest route, while catalyst prevents bad vault luck from delaying your 4-piece too long.
Fastest Route to These Items
Best Route for Mythic+ Pieces
Start with one strong weekly key, then move into exact dungeon targeting if you still need your ring, shoulders, neck, or Mythic+ trinket.
Best Route for Raid Upgrades
If you want the biggest Unholy DK power spikes fast, prioritize Voidspire and Dreamrift before cleaning up March on Quel’Danas ring and neck value.
Best Route for Tier Catch-Up
If your 4-piece is delayed, use the safest token + catalyst route instead of over-chasing weak slot replacements first.
FAQ
What should I craft first for Unholy DK?
Cloak and wrists are your final BiS crafted pieces, but if your weapon is still weak, Blood Knight’s Mercy with Darkmoon Sigil: Hunt is often the strongest practical first craft.
What should I farm first this week?
Secure one strong weekly key first for vault value, then decide whether your biggest gain comes from Light Company Guidon, Gaze of the Alnseer, or your first exact dungeon cleanup route.
Which dungeons should I farm first if I have limited time?
Start with Algeth’ar Academy if you want the best Mythic+ trinket and one of your best rings, Pit of Saron for high-value armor cleanup, and Maisara Caverns if you still need the strongest Mythic+ 2H replacement path.
Is Mythic+ or Raid better for Unholy DK?
Raid is stronger for your biggest trinket and weapon spikes, but Mythic+ still does important cleanup work on rings, necks, shoulders, and practical weekly gearing.
What is the best trinket combo?
Light Company Guidon + Gaze of the Alnseer is the strongest default pair. Algeth’ar Puzzle Box is the best active Mythic+ alternative if you are not on Guidon yet.
Which raid should I start with?
Start with Voidspire if you want the biggest overall Unholy DK raid value, then go Dreamrift if you still need Gaze of the Alnseer. March on Quel’Danas is the cleanup raid for ring and finale neck value.
Which tier set pieces do I want first?
Helmet, Chest, Gloves, and Legs are the clean preferred 4-piece route. Tier shoulders are the weaker first pickup because the secondary stats are less attractive for Unholy.
Do I need a +10 first or a bundle route?
A +10 first is the safest weekly anchor. A bundle route makes more sense if you already know you need several different dungeon slots in the same reset.
