Pit of Saron, Algeth'ar Academy & Seat of the Triumvirate Dungeons Closed Until Midnight Season 1

Posted 2026/01/22 at 2:05 PM by Jaydaa

Pit of Saron, Seat of the Triumvirate, Skyreach, and Algeth’ar Academy are currently closed on all difficulties in the 12.0.0 pre-expansion update while they undergo changes for Midnight Season 1.

When the 12.0.1 update releases, they’ll reopen on Normal difficulty (except Seat of the Triumvirate, which has no Normal mode), and Heroic and Mythic difficulties will unlock when Midnight Season 1 begins.

Thanks for your patience as we update these dungeons!

Comment by LandaiReally wish I had farmed the bookcase from Al’gethar before prepatch…..Comment by NotADinosaurUhh why close them? They ain't a store that you have to shutter to renovate lol I must be missing something here...Comment by ancineniThis really is not a new problem and they really should have thought of a solution by now.

Just cause a dungeon is becoming seasonal, its original versions should still be possible to run from normal to mythic.Comment by NovaLiiAren't there the Beta Servers for this kinda change? I don't see any Reason to close some old Dungeons. Never happend in the Past, not that I remember, so why now? - I want to farm these Housing Items! :(Comment by K3ndoThis really is not a new problem and they really should have thought of a solution by now.

So emergency shutdown proceeded...Comment by EsploratoreLook at the timing! The wod tw event just ended, so this won't affect the tw rotation (would otherwise be down to 5 dungeons), pit of saron is not a tw in a long time, and the other 2 dungeons have never been a tw.

Ofc this can affect other stuff, example if one wants to farm a battered hilt specifically in pit of saron.

It does make a bit of sense though, since they have to make changes in the dungeons and don't want to have people in during that time.Comment by RightheroWhat about Skyreach?Comment by NirrytiAren't there the Beta Servers for this kinda change?

MY PASSION!Comment by SaltyRistoApparently those masterminds made those dungs drop expac itlvl gear.

And all the new dungeons are what will be available for Mythics.

That is how it is supposed to be and then all hell broke loose. Mythics might be the most overrated part of WoWComment by KasKhettSo that's why I can't complete my quests. Will the changes affect my ability to complete them at level 80?Comment by lovelywazThe school is out of session! 😄Comment by FlanellSo people are stuck questing. Blizzard cant do anything right. Cant even farm old tmog. Good I at least already have Quel'Delar. I bet they ruin the loot tables and you wont be able to get it anymore.

I am still pissed that due to Mechagon being in the M+ rota we coudnt farm the mount during Greedy Emissary! How hard can it be to leave us the normal versions of a dungeon! Blizzard is so incompetent!Comment by GaradronkAh, so that explains why I couldn't finish some old questing in Argus... Said SoT was locked to lvl 90.
But why is Seat of Triumvirate locked on live? Are there developers moving around stuff while I play? What does a future dungeon change have to do with a live version? Or does it mean they just changed stuff around in 12.0 patch and forgot that the changed dg shouldn't have been uploaded?
