As the World of Warcraft Remix: Mists of Pandaria event draws to a close, Blizzard has provided detailed information about what will happen to Timerunner characters once the event concludes. With the official end scheduled for August 20, at 7 AM PDT, players should prepare for their characters to undergo several changes, including the loss of most currencies and a reset to more modest gear.

Overview of WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria

The WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria event allowed players to revisit the beloved 12-year-old expansion with a modern twist, featuring overpowered abilities, infinite progression, and streamlined gameplay. This event offered a unique experience where players could rapidly progress through the content, earn rare achievements, and collect exclusive cosmetics, such as the coveted Tusks of Mannoroth from the Siege of Orgrimmar raid.

However, the event was always intended to be temporary, and as it comes to an end, Blizzard has outlined what players can expect when transitioning their Timerunners back to standard characters.

What Happens to Timerunner Characters?

When the event ends on August 20, several key changes will take place for Timerunner characters:

  • Automatic Conversion: Upon logging in after the event concludes, each Timerunner character will be automatically converted to a regular character. This process may take several minutes per character.
  • Items and Gear: Most items, including gear and non-gold currencies like Bronze, Lesser Charms of Good Fortune, and Timeless Coins, will be removed during the conversion. Players are advised to spend these currencies before they disappear.
  • Retained Features:
    • Character Level: Your character will maintain its level.
    • Reputation: Any reputation gains made during the event will be retained.
    • Gold: Gold will not be affected by the conversion.
    • Unlearned Collection Items: Items not yet added to your collection, such as ensembles, will be sent to your mailbox.
  • New Gear and Items: Converted characters will receive a set of item level 467 gear if they are at level 70, or appropriately leveled gear if they are below level 70. Additionally, each character will receive four 30-slot bags and one 26-slot reagent bag.
  • Teleportation: Upon conversion, characters will be automatically teleported to their faction’s capital—Stormwind for the Alliance and Orgrimmar for the Horde.

Preparing for the End of WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria

As the event winds down, players are encouraged to take stock of their Timerunner characters and make the necessary preparations. Spending any remaining non-gold currencies before the event ends is crucial, as these will not carry over once the characters are converted.

Although players will lose most of their gear and items, the new set of item level 467 gear and large bags should help them smoothly transition into upcoming content, such as “The War Within,” which launches shortly after the WoW Remix event ends.

Final Thoughts

The WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria event has been a successful and nostalgic experience for many players, allowing them to revisit one of the most iconic expansions with enhanced gameplay features. While the end of the event brings changes and some loss of items, it also sets players up for the next chapter in World of Warcraft. With lessons learned from this event, future WoW Remix experiences have the potential to be even more engaging and rewarding for the community.
