Under Development: WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria

Quote from: Blizzard

Relive epic adventures with an all-new event arriving in the 10.2.7 content update— WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria. Experience the wonders of Pandaria anew, but with fresh new loot— and (almost) unlimited power.

What is WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria?

World of Warcraft Remix is a time-limited event which allows players to re-experience the entirety of the Mists of Pandaria expansion at an accelerated rate from level 10 through 70. All loot has been completely overhauled and has powerful new effects allowing players to shape their experience, power up, and power on. Features include:

  • Accelerated Leveling and Content allowing you to take on nearly every quest, scenario, dungeon and raid.
  • Create a new WoW Remix character starting at level 10 to adventure through the event up to level 70.
  • A mountain of loot: Get powerful items from everywhere— quests, chests, creatures, bosses.
  • Customizable items allowing you to power up as far as you can go to take on tougher content.
  • Convert unwanted items into Bronze which can be used to upgrade items or purchase cosmetics.
  • Keep what you collect: Take your collection of transmogs with you into The War Within.

Available to Everyone

No expansion purchase is needed, but a World of Warcraft Subscription or Game Time is required to begin this fast-paced adventure through Pandaria. This means that Classic players can also participate in a plethora of pandamonium by simply installing the modern (live) World of Warcraft client.

WoW Trial Accounts will also be able to experience this WoW Remix without a subscription or Game Time through level 20. Purchase a subscription or Game Time to continue beyond level 20.

Creating Your New Identity

Create a new modern World of Warcraft character to undertake your adventures in Pandaria, collect a variety of powerful new items and transmogs, then take your transmogs with you when you continue your adventures in World of Warcraft®:The War Within. Additional character slots will be available so that you have room for your new fully leveled and fully geared hero to join you in your continuing adventures through the Worldsoul Saga™. All Remix characters created during the event will convert to a standard character to play within modern World of Warcraft at the end of the event.

From the realm Character Selection screen, players will be given the option to create a new WoW Remix character, beginning at level 10, which will only be able to play with characters taking part in the event.

Characters in the selection screen which are only available to play in the World of Warcraft Remix event will have an icon next to the character name so they can easily be identified when choosing which mode of World of Warcraft you intend to play through.

Once you’ve created your character, you’ll begin your new journey in the Timeless Isle and meet up with the infinite dragonflight and Eternus who will set you on your path.


New Loot, New You

In WoW Remix, players have the opportunity to collect a variety of items from just about anywhere: quests, chests, creatures, bosses, and more. New customizable items will be yours for the taking and each item slot has their own unique identity with spell gem sockets. These sockets come with exciting turbo-charged new effects similar to trinkets.

Each time you loot new items, you’ll have the chance for powerful new upgrades allowing you to push the limits further and faster than ever before with uncapped progression. As you progress, you’ll gradually become more and more powerful as items also grant increased permanent stats.

Here are just some examples of the types of gems you might find:

Welcome to a New Bronze Age

There’s no such thing as a bad drop and any drop you get can be converted into a new currency— Bronze. You’ll be able to use this currency to purchase upgrades and World of Warcraft account-bound cosmetics.

Head to a bazaar in any zone to purchase everything from class transmogs, to Mists of Pandaria mounts, toys, and more. This allows players to purchase items that were previously unable to obtain or difficult to obtain as random drops by simply spending this new currency to add them to their account’s collection.

Players won’t be able to use the Auction House in World of Warcraft Remix: Mists of Pandaria.


Continue the story in Dragonflight as the Dark Heart content update (10.2.7) ushers in the final chapter of the expansion and sets the stage for The War Within.

Season Four Crafted Item Levels

Quote from: Blizzard

Greetings! Recently, several folks pointed out that the item level for crafted Season Four gear was lower than expected by the equivalent of one upgrade level. After investigating, we identified a bug that was causing the issue, and are correcting it for an upcoming PTR build. Players should expect that Season Four gear enhanced with an Enchanted Aspect’s Awakened Crest will max out at item level 525, equivalent to upgrade level Myth 3. (Before the correction, that gear was maxing out at 522, equivalent to Myth 2.)

As always, we appreciate player feedback on the PTR. Y’all the real MVPs.

Noblegarden Springs to Life This Week!

Quote from: Blizzard

Noblegarden springs to life from 1 April through 8 April. Sport your bunny ears and hop to it by hunting for eggs, eating delectable chocolate, and collecting toys, pets, etc.

The great feast of Noblegarden has long been celebrated by the races of the Alliance and recently adopted by those of the Horde. During this joyous event, it is customary for the nobles and lords from each race to hide coins, candy, and the occasional treasures within special eggs painted to look like wildflowers. These eggs are then scattered around major cities for the citizenry to find.

When: 1–8 April
Where: Visit Azure Watch, Dolanaar, Goldshire, Kharanos, Brill, Razor Hill, Bloodhoof Village, Falconwing Square, or Valdrakken to join in the festivities.
Currency: Noblegarden Chocolates are used as currency during this holiday to purchase garments, mounts, pets, and other special rewards. These can be collected by completing quests and opening the eggs found in the event areas.


New This Year

Valdrakken is decked out in Noblegarden festiveness, and the quests “A Tisket, a Tasket, a Noblegarden Basket” and “The Great Egg Hunt” are now available.

Defend Against Disruptive Ducks

Furious ducks, led by the druid Daetan Swiftplume, disrupt the Noblegarden festivities in Goldshire and Razor Hill. Discover Daetan’s hideout and scare off the disruptive ducks. To start the “What the Duck” quest, seek out Zinnia Brooks in Goldshire or Sylnaria Fareflame in Razor Hill.

Find a giant golden egg that appears in the area and drag it to Daetan’s nest to summon him. Defeat Daetan daily for a chance at some desirable new rewards:

alternate-image-name
Noble Flying Carpet mount, level 60-70 only.
alternate-image-name
Spring Reveler’s Turquoise Attire transmog set piece (Sun Hat, Pants, Dress, Boots, Belt).

The following fresh rewards can also be acquired during this season’s Noblegarden festivities:

alternate-image-name
The Lovely Duckling battle pet can be obtained from the Noblegarden Alliance vendor and Horde merchant.

After completing the yearly questline, “What the Duck?” receive the Duck Disguiser toy as a quest reward.

Holiday Activities

Daily Quests

The Great Egg Hunt rewards you with money, a small amount of experience, and a Blossoming Branch in exchange for Brightly Colored Shell Fragments gathered during your travels.

Egg Hunting

Search around Azure Watch, Dolanaar, Goldshire, Kharanos, Brill, Razor Hill, Bloodhoof Village, or Falconwing Square for these (mostly) well-hidden Brightly Colored Eggs. To help you get to them more quickly, you’ll want to purchase an Egg Basket from the Noblegarden merchants and vendors to increase your speed and beat the competition.

Brightly Colored Eggs will often contain delicious chocolate you can eat or use to purchase items from the Noblegarden merchants and vendors including, toys, costumes, and mounts. These eggs can also contain a variety of special items.

Female Highmountain Tauren Animation
The Noble Gardener’s Hearthstone summons a flurry of springtime critters to whisk you away.

Here are some of the items you could either find in Brightly Colored Eggs or purchase from vendors with Noblegarden Chocolates:
