AOTC boost in Midnight Season 2
Ahead of the Curve is the raid achievement for a Heroic kill of the tier while the tier is still current. This season it is Ahead of the Curve: Ula'tek, and the requirement is short: defeat Ula'tek in The Venomous Abyss on Heroic difficulty or higher during Midnight Season 2. An AOTC boost, or AOTC carry, gets that kill on your character with a raid team that knows the fight.
How the AOTC carry is sold
We attach the achievement to the full Heroic run of The Venomous Abyss: all eight bosses on Heroic, Ula'tek among them. So the price at the top of this page is a full Heroic clear rather than a single boss, and the order brings the Heroic loot of the whole raid along with the achievement.
The same Heroic product also sells shorter runs, six of the eight bosses or the last two. We do not list Ahead of the Curve with either of them, so when the achievement is the goal, choose the full run.
Loot that comes with an AOTC run
Because the achievement comes from a full clear, the loot option still matters. Group loot is the base; the other options bring boosters of your armor type or hand you a stated number of items per boss. Pick it in the same order: once those bosses are down for you on Heroic, they will not drop loot for you again until the weekly reset.
AOTC on Heroic or higher
Mythic counts too. A full 8/8 Mythic clear, sold only in the bundle with Tidebound Grotto, also includes Ula'tek, but it is a far bigger order built around Mythic gear. For the achievement alone, the Heroic run is the one to compare. Every other raid carry is on the raids page.
Questions about the AOTC boost
What is an AOTC boost?
An AOTC boost, or Ahead of the Curve carry, is a Heroic raid run that gets your character this tier's Ahead of the Curve achievement. Here it is a full Heroic clear of The Venomous Abyss.
Which boss do I need for AOTC this season?
Ula'tek in The Venomous Abyss, on Heroic or higher, during Midnight Season 2. The achievement is called Ahead of the Curve: Ula'tek.
Does the 6/8 or the last-two Heroic run give Ahead of the Curve?
We list the achievement only with the full Heroic run, so that is the order to choose. The shorter runs are sold as part of the raid, without the achievement in their description.
Do I need to be online for an AOTC carry?
Only in self-play, where you join the group and stay in the raid for the whole Heroic clear. With a piloted order a booster plays the run on your character, so you agree on a time and stay logged out while it runs.
Can I still get this AOTC after the season?
No. The requirement is tied to Midnight Season 2, so this tier's Ahead of the Curve cannot be earned once the season is over. If you get it now, it stays on your character.
