World of Warcraft: Midnight launched worldwide this week, and Blizzard is celebrating with a limited-time reward that many players might miss — a free battle pet available through a Discord quest.
For a broader overview of the expansion’s launch, including early hotfixes and player reactions, see our WoW Midnight launch update.
The pet promotion is tied to the expansion’s launch window and only takes a few minutes to complete.
Here’s how to unlock the reward.
How the Discord Quest Works
The reward is part of a promotional quest connected to the official Warcraft Discord integration.
To unlock the pet, players need to:
Open Discord
Navigate to the Quests section
Accept the World of Warcraft quest
Launch the game through the Discord activity tracker
Play for the required amount of time
Once the requirement is completed, the reward becomes available for redemption.
The process usually only takes a short gameplay session.
How to Claim the Pet
After completing the quest, players will receive a reward code or an automatic unlock tied to their Battle.net account.
Make sure that:
Your Battle.net and Discord accounts are connected
You launch the game through the Discord quest tracker
The quest progress completes before the promotion ends
Rewards may take a few minutes to appear in your in-game pet collection.
Why Blizzard Uses Discord Rewards
Blizzard has increasingly used Discord quests during major launches and seasonal promotions.
These events help the studio:
Promote new expansions
Encourage players to log in during launch week
Strengthen community engagement
Offer small cosmetic rewards without affecting gameplay balance
Similar promotions have appeared during previous Blizzard events and game launches.
A Quick Bonus for Midnight Players
The battle pet doesn’t impact gameplay power, but collectors and completionists will likely want to grab it while the promotion is active.
With the Midnight expansion introducing new zones, a level cap of 90, player housing, and the return to Quel’Thalas, launch week already offers plenty of reasons to log in — making this Discord quest an easy extra reward to pick up along the way.
