Broker: MidnightEvents

✅ Stable (v1.0), actively maintained. Daily-driver stable across multiple characters. Midnight is a living expansion, so new weeklies and the odd quest-ID shift get folded in as they appear. Feedback, bug reports, and feature ideas welcome on the issue tracker.

A compact world-event timer + per-character weekly checklist for WoW Midnight, served through any LibDataBroker host.

The broker bar always shows the most-urgent event — a wave countdown, a "FIRING NOW!" for the Void Incursion, a Skinning Den firing in 12 minutes. Hover the bar (or open the minimap button) and a structured tooltip unfolds: what's happening right now, what's coming in the next 24 hours, today's bountiful Delve rotation with its rotating story variant, your character's full weekly checklist (world boss, the Saltheril's Soiree / Lady Liadrin / Bonus Event picks, Featured Dungeon, Prey Hunts, Delver's Bounty, Arcantina, the myth-crest delve grind, and more), and Voidforge progress. A separate smoke-glass panel rolls the same weekly state up across every alt.

Most rows are annotated with the detail you'd otherwise alt-tab for — which subfaction or dungeon you picked this week, the active Void Assault zone, your per-tier Prey hunt counts, your crest progress toward the weekly cap — and rows you can't do yet (max-level weeklies on a levelling alt) hide themselves instead of nagging.

Retail only. Requires Midnight (Interface 120005+). Works with any LibDataBroker host (Arcana, ElvUI, Bazooka, Broker2FuBar, TitanPanel, …); minimap-button entry point is built in for users who don't run a broker bar.

Is this for you?

Yes, probably — if you:

• Want one-glance answers to "what world event is next" and "what haven't I done this week" without alt-tabbing to a browser
• Run multiple characters and want their weekly state visible without logging into each
• Like compact at-a-glance UIs that get out of the way; tooltip only opens on hover
• Already use a broker bar host or are happy with a minimap button

Probably not — if you:

• Want a comprehensive checklist of every weekly (Patron Orders, professions, housing, M+, vault breakdown). Use Midnight Routine (Curseforge|Wago|GH) for that breadth; this addon is intentionally focused on events and the weeklies tied to them, designed to coexist
• Want a separate always-visible window per activity (this is a single hover tooltip)
• Run only Classic / non-retail

Features

Broker bar

• Soonest event tag — auto-picks the most-urgent of: an event firing imminently (Stormarion Assault next 12m), an event genuinely happening now (Abundance: Mining Voidburrow 42m left), a building event close to firing (VoidIncursion 94% built), or a confirmed live firing (VoidIncursion FIRING NOW! in amber).
• Weekly progress chunk — Weeklies 3/7 (or All done once everything's ticked).
• Both halves toggleable independently in the Settings panel.

Tooltip sections

• Now — currently-firing events, sorted by urgency: firing > closer-to-firing progress bars > soonest countdowns > untimed continuous (Stormarion Assault between waves, Legends of the Haranir, etc.). Rotating events show their active zone in parentheses even when you're elsewhere — Void Assaults (Eversong Woods), Saltheril's Soiree (Eversong Woods).
• Upcoming (next 24h) — scheduler-driven next fires, ordered by when they happen (matches Blizzard's events panel order).
• Bountiful Delves (today) — today's rotation with each delve's active story variant in parentheses; a green ✓ next to the story name means this character has the matching achievement criterion (per-delve "Stories" achievement, 61724–61733) already completed.
• This Week (CharName) — the per-character weekly checklist, the heart of the addon. Tracks World Boss, Abundant Offerings, Stand Your Ground, A Nightmarish Task (with live x/3 objective count), Lady Liadrin's Weekly, Bonus Event Weekly and Saltheril's Soiree (each annotated with the choice you picked), Featured Dungeon (with this week's dungeon), Void Assault (active zone), Lost Legends, Gnawing Curiosity, Delver's Bounty, Arcantina (with lifetime patron progress), Prey Hunts (per-tier Normal x/4 · Hard x/4 · Nightmare x/4), and the Myth Crests (Delves) counter toward the weekly cap. Outstanding rows sit up top in white, completed rows dim with a green ✓, and an amber turn in! state flags weeklies whose objectives are done but the quest is still in your log. Rows you can't do yet — max-level weeklies on a levelling alt — hide automatically rather than showing a permanent ✗; on sub-90 alts a Halduron levelling weekly (Hope in the Darkest Corners) takes the Featured Dungeon slot.
• Voidforge progress — per-character N/M counters scraped from Decimus's bars in Voidstorm: Voidcores transmuted (weekly bonus-roll allowance), Nilhammer empowered (lifetime 0–4, gates the Ascendant Nilhammer upgrade). Only populates after the character has been near Decimus once; persists across sessions.

Every tooltip section can be toggled off individually in Settings.

Detached Alts panel

• Shift-Right-click the broker (or minimap button) opens a scrollable per-alt grid showing every tracked character's weekly state at a glance.
• Modern dark smoke-glass styling — solid backdrop, thin amber border, amber title. Auto-sizes to the number of tracked weeklies, and closes on ESC or its close button.
• Class-coloured names, abbreviated column headers (hover for the full label), drag-to-reposition, geometry persists. Weeklies a character can't do yet show — instead of a misleading ✗.
• Right-click a row to hide that character; a Show hidden characters toggle in Settings brings them back dimmed for un-hiding.
• Background opacity tunable in Settings (10–100 %, default 60 % — the pane goes translucent while the border stays crisp).

Settings panel

• Escape → Options → AddOns → Broker: MidnightEvents, or Right-click the broker / minimap button.
• Per-section visibility toggles for every tooltip section (Now / Upcoming / Bountiful Delves / This Week / Voidforge).
• World Boss row visibility in the This Week section.
• Broker bar split toggles (show weekly progress / show next-event tag).
• Show minimap button toggle (default on) — turn the minimap icon off if you run a broker bar.
• Alts panel background opacity slider.
• Show hidden characters toggle paired with the right-click-to-hide gesture in the Alts panel.

Minimap button

• Built-in via LibDBIcon — useful if you don't run a broker bar host. One-toggle off in settings (default on).

Click interactions

Identical on the broker bar entry and the minimap button.

Technical notes

File structure

• Broker_MidnightEvents.toc — addon metadata and load order
• Data.lua — static tables: weeklies, world bosses, known POI names, widget overrides, story-achievement map, Voidforge progress schema, firing heuristics
• Settings.lua — SavedVariables defaults, migrations, weekly-reset detection, Settings panel registration
• Events.lua — scheduler + map POI ingest, single source of truth for what's active / upcoming, with per-zone scans and name caches
• Core.lua — broker text, tooltip rendering, click handlers, ticker-isolated widget reads, slash commands
• AltsPanel.lua — detached per-alt grid panel

Taint posture (12.x protected-data model)

The addon reads several values Blizzard's 12.x runtime treats as secret (widget bar values, scheduler timestamps). Doing arithmetic on those values taints the calling execution context, and that taint propagates to anything the context touches. The addon contains this rigorously:

• A dedicated 2-second ticker does all the widget-bar arithmetic; results land in plain Lua tables. Render paths only read those tables — no arithmetic on secrets, no taint propagation.
• Private GameTooltipTemplate frames for every hover surface the addon owns (main tooltip + alts-panel column-header tooltip). Blizzard's shared GameTooltip is never written to from the addon's tainted context.
• No custom field writes onto Blizzard frames. Addon state lives in addon-local tables or weak side-tables keyed by frame.

Saved variables

• Broker_MidnightEventsDB — settings, minimap icon position (LibDBIcon), per-character snapshots, event name cache, alts panel geometry.

Compatibility

• WoW version: Retail (Midnight, Interface 120005+)
• Dependencies: LibStub, CallbackHandler-1.0, LibDataBroker-1.1, LibDBIcon-1.0 (all bundled)
• Broker display: optional — any LDB-compatible host works (Arcana, ElvUI, Bazooka, Broker2FuBar, TitanPanel, …). If you don't run one, the built-in minimap button is a full-equivalent entry point.
