I’m not fully sure what you mean by “midnight beginning after opting not to midnight leveling,” but the most likely interpretation is: you want to know how to start the Midnight quest/content path after choosing not to level there first. In that case, the usual route is to wait until you reach the required level, then pick up the Midnight intro quest and continue from the campaign path. A guide source notes that the intro questline starts at about level 78, while some player reports say the game effectively opens the content at level 80.

What to do

  • Keep leveling through earlier content until you meet the entry requirement. Mid-70s to 80 is the range discussed in current guides and forum posts.
  • Once the unlock level is met, look for the campaign/start quest in a major city or your normal quest hub.
  • If you skipped the opening leveling route, you usually do not need to restart; you can just enter the new content when eligible and continue from there.

Why the wording is confusing

The phrase “midnight beginning” may be mixing together the expansion start, the intro quest, and leveling choice. Players discussing this online use it to mean the point where Midnight content becomes available, not a special separate mode. One guide also says a character needs to be level 78 to begin the intro questline, which helps explain the confusion.

Practical takeaway

If you already opted out of leveling in Midnight, the fix is simple: level up first, then pick up the intro when it appears. If you are already at the required level and still do not see it, check your main city quest boards, campaign markers, and any expansion hub NPCs.

TL;DR: level to the unlock point, then start the Midnight intro quest from the normal campaign entry path.
