- Expansion: World of Warcraft
Blizzard has announced an ambitious new content update for World of Warcraft: a chance to relive the entire Mists of Pandaria expansion inside Dragonflight!
Following Dragonflight Season 4, the next item on the roadmap was Patch 10.2.7, a content update that was labeled “Dark Heart.” We may still see the content that was previously planned for this update (listed in the image to the right), but it seems that the patch will now contain a major new feature, either in addition to or instead of the previously planned content.
WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria will allow you to experience all of the content from the Mists of Pandaria Expansion at an accelerated rate with new, overhauled loot to further incentivize participation. You’ll be able to start a character at level 10 and level all the way to 70 through the event.
The event will be playable to any WoW account with an active subscription or game time as well as WoW trial accounts. You won’t need to purchase the Dragonflight expansion. That makes this event open to Classic players as well, much like the current Plunderstorm event.
The timing of this event is curious since it was just announced that Cataclysm Classic will be coming next month and will also have an accelerated pace. Mists of Pandaria would be the next expansion after Cataclysm, which is currently scheduled to complete its content cycle in under a year. We can only speculate what this means for the future of Classic progression content. One thing is clear, though: Blizzard is making a real push to bring more players into retail World of Warcraft ahead of the new expansion trilogy, and they seem to be more willing to experiment with new forms of content in the process.
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.
Accelerated Leveling and Content
With WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria there will be no slowing you down and you’ll be able to take on nearly every quest, scenario, dungeon, and raid right out of the gate with accelerated leveling from 10-70. View the chart below for the availability of each type of content.

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.
