World of Warcraft Remix: Mists of Pandaria is a limited-time event coming soon

In what can only be described as my best-case scenario, Mists of Pandaria is again. WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria is an upcoming limited-time event set to launch with patch 10.2.7. It’s a bonkers idea that combines the best elements of WoW Season of Discovery ideas and the modern game. All you’ll need to access it is an active WoW subscription.

Basically, you will create a brand new level 10 character. You’ll then be set loose on the continent of Pandaria. All the dungeons, quests, scenarios, and more will be there, but with fresh and wild rewards and a faster leveling experience. Everything you do has a chance at rare rewards, like gear with new item slots that allow for crazy builds. You could find a trinket gem that lets your basic attacks have a chance to set enemies on fire. Another could grant you the mage’s Blink ability. The goal here is to become as powerful as possible with no real cap to get in your way. Anything you don’t want is converted into a Bronze currency to spend on transmogs and other unlockables.

It’s not just for fun, either. Your characters will transition to the main game when the event ends. That makes this is a great way to level those classes you’ve wanted to try. Plus, you’ll be able to earn tons of unique rewards through the event that will carry over to your main game as well. One of the biggest highlights Blizzard announced was recolors of popular mounts. They showed off the gold tinted Astral Cloud Serpent as an example. There’s also a chance to earn the legendary phoenix mounts. These birds have been unobtainable since Warlords of Draenor.

To be clear, while this has elements of WoW Classic and Season of Discovery, it is neither. It’s a unique mode that will only be around until The War Within expansion launches later this summer. The characters you will be building will also be using the retail structure of leveling. That means all the🐻 modern skill trees and abilities.

Mists of Pandaria was my all-time favorite WoW expansion. I’ve always enjoyed dipping back to run through old content whenever I level new characters or feel like grinding for transmogs. I’m super excited to see it get highlighted in this crazy new mode that’ll offer tons of rewards. Maybe this time I’ll be able to get those Mannoroth tusks from Garrosh.
