How to Obtain the Rewards

During the Midwinter Blight event you will be able to farm 3 types of materials.

Blighted Fragment
(from Blightfiends)
Lost Heirloom
(from Frigid Husks)
Red-Cloaked Trophy
(from the Red-Cloaked Horror)

The materials can be exchanged for

Midwinter Proof

, the main currency of the event.

By exchanging these materials for

Midwinter Proof

, you will increase your Midwinter Tribute Tier. This works similarly to the Hunter's Acclaim Board, which was introduced with the Blood Harvest in Season 2.

When you level you Midwinter Tribute to tier III, you unlock the ability to earn Midwinter Nightmare Caches from Nightmare dungeons. This allows you to farm

Midwinter Proof

materials from normal gameplay too.
