Increase to Bronze Cache, Spools of Eternal Thread, and Emperor Shaohao Reputation

Thank you for all of your continued feedback on the Mists of Pandaria Remix event. We have a few upcoming changes that we hope will address some of your concerns and help make the remainder of the event even more of a blast to blast through.

First, we’ve heard repeatedly that the rate of Bronze acquisition doesn’t feel quite fast enough to allow you to comfortably collect all of the collectables you’re looking for while upgrading your gear. We investigated reducing upgrade costs and crediting players that had already upgraded their gear, but found technical limitations due to how Remix and Dragonflight interact with one another. We landed instead on doubling the value of Bronze Caches as shown below:

Bronze Cache values increased by 100%
  • Minor Bronze Cache (250 → 500)
  • Lesser Bronze Cache (500 → 1000)
  • Bronze Cache (750 → 1500)
  • Greater Bronze Cache (1250 → 2500)

In addition, we want to make powering up to overpower content easier, so we’re going to triple the effect of Spools of Eternal Thread:

Spools of Eternal Thread stat gain increased by 200%.
  • Minor Spool of Eternal Thread (20 → 60)
  • Lesser Spool of Eternal Thread (50 → 150)
  • Spool of Eternal Thread (100 → 300)
  • Greater Spool of Eternal Thread (180 → 540)

These items are both available from a wide variety of content, on both repeatable and one-time-per-character sources, so they should benefit all players whether it’s your first time entering Pandaria or your latest new Timerunner.

Once the hotfix is applied, you’ll see a new buff when you equip your cloak: Timerunner’s Mastery, indicating that the changes are active!

And because it’s a bit of a grind, we’re also increasing Emperor Shaohao reputation by 700%.

Thanks again for all of your feedback on this version of Remix. We will be applying all of these learnings to our future endeavors!

    Anyone knows if the Shahao rep buff is only for remix, or for any characters ?

    Blizzard posts asking for feedback.

    Proceeds to make the exact changes people asked in said feedback roughly a week later.

    "Must have been the higher ups!!".

    I hate to break it to you but the higher ups probably don't care one bit about this.

    That's great, sucks for the people that spent a fair while farming rep or bronze.

    Done most all on the remix besides the shaohao rep, did it back in the day, any reason to do it for remix?

    Sadly I got all the mounts, and some of the transmogs I wanted and left this grindfest about a 1 week and half ago. I have no intensions on going back to it.

    Yes : there is an achievement (that is weirdly character specific).

    Already got max geared, kill mythic Garrosh for the title, bought everything I wanted and stopped playing remix.

    Good changes. Now they only need to add the weapon skins to a vendor.

    easy way to find out. It's the final achievement I need to, done literally everything else in Remix; just need more bronze

    Expected changes to Bronze, but I thought it would be also made less painful to gear Alts as well which they mentioned but seem limited on technical wise (wondering if their experiments with it is what broke the Season). The double Bronze is nice for me, as I'd got my Main Timerunner Mythic Garrosh down and have stopped upgrading gear at 460 ilvl and focused on Cosmetics (my WA says I need 1 Mil Bronze) so this change is great. Also Daily instances/quests will be massive value for how little it takes and the threads will massively increase stats to help those still after challenging content.

    I didn't realise there was Rep Achievements for Timerunners, so I guess the Shaohao one is nice.

    I expect around 30 days before the end they might add another buff to Bronze and threads, as people complete what they need and less people play. Also Weapon Ensembles or being able to purchase unique appearences from a vendor for Bronze would be nice.

    If anyone already got everything they needed, let's be honest, they didn't need this. I've been playing casual, just finished getting Tusks but have a bunch of other stuff left to get and alts to level, so I'm glad.

    While I already got a character to 476 and achieved just about all I care to do accomplish in Remix, this'll still be immensely useful in acquiring the remaining ensembles.

    I've kind of been sticking to daily activities for a while now anyway, so this is a tremendous boon in that regard.

    Thx Blizz for listening to first part of feedback. Add arsenals for new weapons and we are good.

    100% this was guy who quit or was banned before, so don't have high hopes there. You don't start account and spam every thread like madman.
