What is Omnium Folio in Midnight 12.0.7?

Omnium Folio is a new “borrowed power” system coming with patch 12.0.7, and it allows you to unlock a few more passive combat bonuses, which aren’t tied to any gear slot. And thank God for that! It adds some extra damage, healing, survivability, mobility, and secondary stat effects, based on your choices. The system will remain available throughout the rest of Midnight’s lifecycle.

To unlock this power system, you need to complete a questline called The Sunstrider Omnium, which starts in Thalassian University. Then, you get a weekly quest to unlock a new node each week until you unlock all five.

All Omnium Folio Powers

There are 5 nodes on the Omnium Folio tree, and every node, except the third one, gives you the choice between at least two powers. Here’s the full list:

Omnium Folio Node	Rune	Power Type	Effect
1	Rune of Void-Touched Orbs	Damage or healing	Every 10 seconds, you attract a Void Orb, up to 5 total. Your attacks send the orbs at enemies for Cosmic damage. Your healing spells send them to the lowest-health nearby ally for healing.
	Rune of Unleashed Fire	Damage or healing	Your spells and abilities have a chance to call down a pillar of fire. It damages an enemy or heals a nearby ally.
2	Rune of Self-Mending	Self-healing	When you fall below 75% health, your Core Rune also heals you.
	Rune of Void-Tainted Shell	Defensive absorb	When you take a hit worth more than 10% of your max health, you gain an absorb shield. Half of the absorbed damage lingers and is dealt to you over 10 seconds. This can happen once every 30 seconds.
	Rune of Lynxlike Reflexes	Mobility	When struck in combat, you gain bonus speed for 10 seconds. This can happen once every 30 seconds.
3	Rune of Lingering	Damage over time or healing over time	Your Core Rune leaves a periodic effect behind. It deals Cosmic damage to enemies or heals allies over 8 seconds. Your Core Rune prefers targets not already affected by Rune of Lingering.
4	Rune of Critical Power	Secondary stat bonus	Your Core Rune effects increase your Critical Strike rating. This effect can overlap.
	Rune of Burning Haste	Secondary stat bonus	Your Core Rune effects increase your Haste rating. This effect can overlap.
	Rune of Masterful Cunning	Secondary stat bonus	Your Core Rune effects increase your Mastery rating. This effect can overlap.
	Rune of the Versatile Warrior	Secondary stat bonus	Your Core Rune effects increase your Versatility rating. This effect can overlap.
5	Rune of Overload	Core Rune boost	Increases the effectiveness of your Core Rune ability by 100%.
	Rune of Residual Energy	Lingering Rune boost	Increases the effectiveness of Rune of Lingering by 100%.
	Rune of Echoes	Delayed echo effect	Your Core Rune leaves an echoing curse on the target. After 10 seconds, part of the damage and healing done by your Core and Lingering Runes is repeated at 50% effectiveness.

Remember that since you unlock each node weekly, week 3 is when you get the Rune of Lingering.

How to Unlock Omnium Powers

The first quest of the Sunstrider Omnium (by the way, there’s an achievement with the same name) starts with the Magister’s Call and Magister’s Missive at 47.8, 51.6. This quest rewards Omnium Folio. After that, you’ll be doing The Empowered Folio questline, which consists of 5 quests:

Quest	Objectives	Rewards
Seeking Knowledge Week 1 of 5: The Omnium Folio	Speak to Grand Magister Rommath. Receive the Omnium Folio. Open the Omnium Folio and empower your first rune.	Unlocks the Omnium Folio and your first rune empowerment.
Seeking Knowledge Week 2 of 5: Ritualized Arcana	Collect 8 Ritualized Arcana. Disrupt 1 Ritual Site. Arcana can be found in Daggerspine Point or Broken Throne Ritual Sites on any difficulty.	Mote of Omnial Inquiry.
Seeking Knowledge Week 3 of 5: Leyline Assaults	Collect 5 Dark-Ley Coalescence by completing any Void Assault in Eversong or Zul’Aman.	Mote of Omnial Inquiry.
Seeking Knowledge Week 4 of 5: Magical Primessence	Collect 1 Primessence of Magic from any final dungeon boss, final delve boss, or Raid Finder wing boss. Valid samples include Shadow, Death, Arcane, Life, Light, and Fel Primessence.	Mote of Omnial Inquiry.
Seeking Knowledge Week 5 of 5: Off-World Magic	Recover 1 fragment of alien magic from Imperator Pertinax on Val or Nexus-Captain Leth’ir on Naigtal. Complete World Quests on Val or Naigtal.	Mote of Omnial Inquiry and Voidlight Marl. Completing all five quests also grants the Sunstrider Omnium Simulacrum housing decor item.

Mote of Omnial Inquiry is an item that is used to unlock new runes. The housing decor that you get for completing the week 5 quest is a nice bonus on top of everything.

 

Best Omnium Folio Rune Builds in WoW Midnight

The Omnium Folio has 13 rune options, but your best setup depends on the content you play. Since this is still PTR-based, just take it with a grain of salt. You can always quickly swap out the runes when not in combat to test different combos anyway.

Best Omnium Folio Raid Build

For raids, I recommend a steady single-target setup with passive damage, extra survival, and delayed rune value.

Node	Recommended Rune
1st Choice	Rune of Void-Touched Orbs
2nd Choice	Rune of Self-Mending
3rd Node	Rune of Lingering
4th Node	Your best secondary stat rune
Final Node	Rune of Echoes

This setup should work well in longer boss fights. Void-Touched Orbs gives reliable damage, Lingering adds extra value over time, and Echoes repeats part of that output later.

Best Omnium Folio Solo Build

For world content, I recommend a more self-sufficient setup. It gives you damage, healing, and simple defensive value while farming rares, quests, and events.

Node	Recommended Rune
1st Choice	Rune of Unleashed Fire
2nd Choice	Rune of Self-Mending
3rd Node	Rune of Lingering
4th Node	Rune of the Versatile Warrior
Final Node	Rune of Overload

This is the setup I’d use for most solo content. Self-Mending helps when mobs start hitting back, while Overload makes your Core Rune stronger without adding extra timing.

Best Omnium Folio Defensive Build

For tanks or undergeared characters, I recommend leaning into survival first. This build is better when enemies hit hard or damage feels uneven.

Node	Recommended Rune
1st Choice	Rune of Void-Touched Orbs
2nd Choice	Rune of Void-Tainted Shell
3rd Node	Rune of Lingering
4th Node	Rune of the Versatile Warrior
Final Node	Rune of Overload

Void-Tainted Shell is the main reason to use this setup. It adds an absorb after large hits, while Versatility gives a simple mix of damage and defense.

 

 

Best Omnium Folio Healer Build

For healers, I recommend focusing on smart healing and repeated rune effects. Your stat rune should still follow your spec’s normal priority.

Node	Recommended Rune
1st Choice	Rune of Void-Touched Orbs
2nd Choice	Rune of Self-Mending
3rd Node	Rune of Lingering
4th Node	Rune of Burning Haste or Rune of Masterful Cunning
Final Node	Rune of Echoes

This setup adds extra healing without changing your rotation much. Echoes should be useful when its delayed repeat lands during continued group damage.
