New mounts
The build adds 65 mounts. Where the client records how a mount is obtained (its source text names the vendor, drop, quest or achievement), that fact is printed as the game holds it; a mount without one is listed by name only.
- Apophic Soul Crusher: Achievement: Let Me Solo Him: Azta'rec.
- Auriferous Venomfang (World Event): Achievement: Treasures of the Coiled Isle; Category: Midnight.
- Autumnal Witchwick's Rider (Discovery). Sleek, stylish, and spooky, the Witchwick Rider offers a smooth and surprisingly comfortable ride, thanks to the ergonomic saddle requested...

The full list of 65 is in the Mounts table below.

New spells and talent changes
The build adds 11,892 spells. Spell records are the noisiest family in a client build (every new item effect, aura and NPC ability is one), so the names below are examples and the true count is the number that matters. The talent tree data (trait node entries) shows 258 added and 13 changed entries in the same build.
All 11,892 are in the Spells table below.
New achievements
The build adds 322 achievements. Each line quotes the achievement's own description from the client, which is the criteria text a player sees.
- A Stack of Snacks: Feed Ki'clak 5 snacks via completing the world quest "Ki'clak Snack Attack" in the Coiled Isle.
- Accidental Inclusion: Defeat The Lost Explorers including Hoji in The Venomous Abyss on Normal difficulty or higher.
- Ahead of the Curve: Ula'tek: Defeat Ula'tek in The Venomous Abyss on Heroic difficulty or higher, during Midnight Season 2.
- Angler of The Coiled Isle: Catch every fish from The Coiled Isle.
- Aqir Research Associate: Reach Exalted status with the Aqir Research Enclave.
- Arena Exercise: Win 10 matches of Training Grounds Arena.
All 322 are in the Achievements table below.
New maps and zones
The client's map and area tables gained 11 new map records (Altar of Fangs, Cursed Keepsake, Dummy Dome and Null Space) and 40 new area records (Akil'zon's Roost, Altar of Fangs, Altar of the Six Winds and Amani Foothold). A new map record is how a zone, instance or scenario first appears in the client, usually before any quest or encounter references it.



New creatures
The build adds 273 creatures to the creature table: the NPCs, bosses and critters the new content is built from. Spawn locations are server-side and are not in the client, so only the names are known.
All 273 are in the Creatures table below.
What to watch
For what is still coming in 12.1.5, Blizzard's own Midnight: 12.1.5 PTR Development Notes is the official list; the records above are what the client holds today and can change before the patch goes live.
