Good luck and have fun!

You will create new Remix characters (Timerunners) for this event on whichever realms you choose. So that can be the realm on which you mainly play, and it can be realms where you have some alts, and it can be a realm that’s completely new to you.

When you select a Timerunner and hit ‘Enter World’, you’ll enter the Remix world and play there starting at level 10. After the event ends, your Timerunners will be converted into standard characters and you’ll have them available to you in the character selection screen alongside your other characters.

Will original Vale of eternal be available to play?

When you’re in Pandaria on a Timerunner, areas that changed during original Mists of Pandaria or later (such as the Vale of Eternal Blossoms) will look like they do in Chromie Time. So the Vale won’t have its original look, nor will it have its Visions of N’Zoth look/content.

Will the legendary cloak quest chain be enabled?

The original legendary cloak questline will not be available. You’ll want to reach level 70 on a Timerunner and receive the legendary cloak appearances on your Cloak of Infinite Potential to enable access to Ordos for this event as well as the rest of your WoW account.

Will there be access for players to obtain the Ashen Phoenix / Kor’Kron War Wolf mounts?

Items that were only available during the original release of Mists of Pandaria will not be available in this event. This includes the Kor’kron War Wolf, challenge mode sets, and heirlooms. On the other hand, Rare drops that are available in Dragonflight today, such as the Son of Galleon or the Astral Cloud Serpent, will drop in Remix and can be purchased by Remix characters using the Bronze currency.

Does the event only include Races that were around during Mists of Pandaria or does it include the rest of what has been added over the years, including Dracthyr?

This event includes all of the races and classes that are available in Dragonflight. Keep in mind that there is a one-Evoker-per-realm limit in Dragonflight that some players will want to plan around.

Will the scenario daily / weekly the gives the greater cache of treasures from Lorewalker Cho and the Heroic Deeds quest (which is a once per character, per account) be available (the rewards) multiple times per day, per character, per weekly lockout?

We aren’t planning to make changes to content that is available to Dragonflight characters today.

What will be completely different for Timerunners is Remix-specific loot. With some exceptions, every source of loot will drop everything that can be obtained in Remix, and the harder-to-kill enemies will have a higher chance to drop better loot. The exceptions will mostly be zone-based appearances. For example, Remix loot that drops in Throne of Thunder will have the look of ToT raid gear, and outdoor world loot will not.

Just looking for clarification. I understand that new characters will be used, and you can only do the content with players in the Remix. I am wondering if we can use our current created guilds and not have to make new ones, to allow completion of Guild achievement runs? A blue post confirming would be spectacular

Yes, Timerunner characters can be added to existing guilds, and we expect them to earn achievements in Pandaria just like anywhere else.

Can we get one for this? Plunderstorm was annoying enough with 200+ ping, let this be more fun and lag free.

I am assuming I can make that character on one of my realms.

That’s correct. You can create Timerunning characters on any Dragonflight realm, including those hosted in Australia.

Zarroe: Pretty much the first thing i hear from PTR friends is about the amount of Realm First achievements.
I thought it was just supposed to be cool fun event, why add all this realm first stuff just for the .001%? Seems silly

This is the result of a bug that we have fixed in a future 10.2.7 build.

Thanks for the reports!

We’re planning to open WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria for testing on the Dark Heart (10.2.7) PTR starting on Friday, April 12 at 10:00 a.m. PDT (19:00 CEST). We expect to conclude this test on Sunday, April 14 at 10:00 p.m. PDT (07:00 April 15 CEST).

During that time, all of Pandaria: Remix will be available to test:

• Level 10 - 70
• All Pandaria zones
• Normal and Heroic Scenarios
• Normal and Heroic Dungeons
• LFR, 10-player Normal, and 10-player Heroic Mogu’shan Vaults, Heart of Fear, Terrace of Endless Spring, and Throne of Thunder
• LFR, Normal, Heroic, and Mythic Siege of Orgrimmar
• All of the progression including the Cloak of Infinite Potential, spell gems, and new itemization

Be sure to check out all of the cosmetics available at your local Infinite Bazaar (found in every zone).

There’s much more than can be completed in one weekend, but during this testing period, we’d love to hear how you feel about tuning, rewards, and of course, if you run into any bugs. We’ll open dedicated feedback threads for this event test here on Friday.

We look forward to seeing you here!
