World of Warcraft’s Legion defined a generation of adventures — from storming the Broken Isles to wielding Artifact weapons against the Burning Legion. Now, nearly a decade later, those legendary journeys are coming back to life in Legion Remix, a special time-limited event launching with Patch 11.2.5 on October 7, 2025. This event is no mere nostalgia trip, but a time-twisted rollercoaster through Legion’s content at breakneck speed, powered by the mysterious Infinite Dragonflight. The result is a heady blend of familiarity and frenzy: players will relive the entire Legion expansion in a fraction of the time, leveling new characters through a hyper-accelerated campaign with wildly boosted powers and all-new twists to keep even veterans on their toes.
In this comprehensive guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about Legion Remix. First, we’ll explain what this "Timerunning" event is and how it works — from creating a fresh hero to the rules of this pocket universe. Then we’ll break down the event’s phase schedule and the turbo-charged progression (no weekly lockouts here!). You’ll learn about the core features returning from original Legion, the clever new systems, and the array of activities — dungeons, raids, world events — awaiting you. We’ll also detail the rewards up for grabs, including brand-new collectibles and the return of some coveted retired items. Strap in, champion of Azeroth — the Legion is rising once more, and time itself won’t slow you down!
Legion Remix is a seasonal "Timerunning" event — essentially a temporary alternate game mode where players jump into a self-contained version of the 2016 Legion expansion, supercharged for speed and fun. During the event, you’ll create a brand-new Timerunner character (up to five extra character slots are provided per account for Remix) and choose from one of the original 12 classes of Legion’s era (sorry, Evoker fans — the new Dracthyr Evoker class isn’t invited to this party). Your Timerunner begins at level 10 and will rapidly level all the way to 80 over the course of the Remix, experiencing an abbreviated but intense version of Legion’s leveling and endgame content.
Critically, this mode is accessible to everyone with a WoW subscription (no separate expansion purchase needed), and even newcomers on a free trial can play up to level 20. All of original Legion’s major content systems are baked into Legion Remix: you’ll quest through the Broken Isles zones, develop your Class Order Hall and Artifact weapon, unlock World Quests and fight through all dungeons and raids from Legion’s release through Argus. It’s a complete encapsulation of the expansion, but with the usual grindy time-gates removed or drastically sped up. There are no weekly raid lockouts in Remix (the timeline is so fast that weekly resets would be far too slow!), reputation gains are massively boosted. In short, the event throws you into a three-month whirlwind of Legion content where you can play as much as you want without hitting the usual walls. And don’t worry — any mounts, pets, transmog appearances, or other cosmetics you earn in Legion Remix will be account-wide, carrying over to your main WoW collection permanently (Blizzard treats all Remix collectibles as part of your account’s "Warband" pool).
One important limitation: because this is a sealed timeway, any Timerunner characters stay in Legion Remix for the duration of the event. You can choose to "leave" the Remix early and transfer your character to the live game (for example, if you finish everything you wanted), but this is a one-way trip — once a character exits to the main timeline (the current expansion), they cannot return to Legion Remix. At the grand finale when the event ends, all remaining Timerunners will automatically be ported back to the normal game world. They’ll keep whatever level they attained and any account-wide collectibles, but all their Legion-specific items (gear, consumables, etc.) that wouldn’t normally exist in the modern game will be removed or converted to a starter kit of basic gear and currency. In essence, Legion Remix is a wild ride that lets you gear up with crazy powers and items for a short time, but it doesn’t let you break the real game’s balance afterward. It’s a time-locked adventure: incredible loot and power while it lasts, then a clean slate when you rejoin reality. This design lets Blizzard experiment freely within Remix — as you’ll see, they’ve taken full advantage of that freedom to dial the fun up to eleven.
Legion Remix is so deep and sprawling that squeezing everything into this Overview would be a disservice. The biggest systems deserve room to breathe, so we’ve spun them out into full, standalone guides.
Chasing fast progress? Our Leveling guide maps clean XP routes, zone order, smart dungeon timing, and a daily rhythm that snowballs alts. Our Gearing guide explains where power actually comes from, how upgrades flow, which milestones matter, and when to pivot content so you hit targets without wasted time.
Curious what, exactly, your Bronze can buy? Short answer: a lot — and yes, the rewards are good enough to justify the most ruthless farming. Our Bronze, Rewards, and Transmog guides show how to earn currency efficiently, break down every vendor and price, highlight the best-value pickups, and visualize the cosmetics that turn heads, not just pad a collection.
Just as crucial: Artifact Weapons are coming back in a Remix format. Blizzard has reworked how they power up, and they now sit at the center of your gearing loop. We’ll show you how the new progression works step by step — what fuels upgrades, how traits unlock, and which milestones matter — so you can push your Artifact cleanly from "fresh" to "fight-ready" without wasting time or currency.
One of the most impressive aspects of Legion Remix is how much of the expansion’s breadth is preserved.
Blizzard has essentially crammed in nearly every major feature and activity that made Legion memorable. Players can dive into all 12 original Legion dungeons and even tackle the one mega-dungeon, Return to Karazhan, in Mythic or Mythic+ form. All 5 Legion raids (Emerald Nightmare, Nighthold, Trial of Valor, Tomb of Sargeras, Antorus) are present and open on a fast schedule, letting you experience those epic boss fights again. The Full Legion Leveling Campaign across the Broken Isles is intact, along with all the major side stories like the Suramar Nightfallen questline. You’ll get to progress through your Class Order Hall storylines and experience those class-specific moments (from recruiting followers to eventually earning your class mount). Artifact Weapons return at the center of your character’s power (albeit in a new "infinite" form). World Quests will pop up once you reach max level, offering daily activities across Legion’s zones. The Legion Assaults (invasions of zones by the Burning Legion) are active during the Legionfall phase, giving a dynamic world event to fight off for bonuses. Even more niche features, like the Invasion Point scenarios on Argus and the beloved Withered Army Training scenario in Suramar’s ruins, are available for those who seek them out.
In short, if it was a big part of Legion’s gameplay, chances are it’s part of Remix. Blizzard clearly wanted this to feel like a mini-encapsulated expansion, not just a Timewalking dungeon week.
That said, not everything from 2016’s Legion could make a comeback. Blizzard drew a line at a few prestigious or one-time rewards, keeping them exclusive to players who earned them originally. Notably, the Mage Tower challenges will not be reintroduced in Legion Remix. This means the Mage Tower’s variant Artifact skins (like the Feral Druid’s ghostly werecat form or the Prot Warrior flaming dragon shield) remain unavailable if you missed them back then. Similarly, the PvP-exclusive Artifact appearances are not obtainable in Remix, nor are Legion’s seasonal Gladiator PvP armor sets. Blizzard considers these "historic prestige" rewards — much like the original MoP Challenge Mode gear — and decided not to undermine their rarity by bringing them back.
Aside from those, a couple of minor features have been left out: the Legion Mission Table (Order Hall missions) is absent here, as it wasn’t deemed fun enough to modernize for a short event. Also, the special fishing artifact rod Underlight Angler isn’t obtainable (fisherfolk will have to live without its tricks for now). These omissions won’t affect most players’ enjoyment as they mainly protect a few hard-earned cosmetics and cut out a bit of obsolete busywork. In fact, Blizzard has over-compensated by adding many more rewards in Remix to replace those few that aren’t coming back.
Legion Remix arrives alongside patch 11.2.5 and goes live October 7, 2025. Rather than dropping all content at once, Blizzard is rolling out the Legion saga in five rapid phases, roughly corresponding to the original expansion’s major patches. Each phase lasts only two weeks (with the final phase lasting about four weeks), so new content will be unlocking at a blistering pace. Here’s the phase schedule and what content you can expect in each:
October 7 — Skies of Fire: Launch of Legion Remix with the Broken Isles leveling zones and main story campaign. Class Order Halls become available, and you can start working on your Artifact Weapon. The first ten Legion dungeons open (the original ones from launch), and the Emerald Nightmare raid is unleashed (plus the short Trial of Valor raid) for those eager to start raiding. Initial world quests will also activate once you hit max level.
October 21 — Rise of the Nightfallen: The world of Legion Remix expands with Suramar and the Nightfallen story (the Insurrection campaign) unlocking. This phase adds Suramar’s two unlockable dungeons (Court of Stars and The Arcway) as well as the massive Return to Karazhan mega-dungeon. On the raid front, two more raids open: the lavish Nighthold (Suramar’s palace) and the small Trial of Valor (if not already tackled in phase 1) — allowing players to delve deeper into Legion’s mid-tier endgame content.
November 4 — Legionfall: The battle escalates to the Broken Shore. In this phase, the Broken Shore quest hub and its Legion Assault world events come online. Players can push into the Cathedral of Eternal Night dungeon beneath the Tomb, and — in true 7.2 fashion — the Tomb of Sargeras raid itself becomes available for raiding guilds and groups to challenge. Expect the maximal item level to rise here, since each phase bumps up gear rewards.
November 18 — Argus Eternal: The final Legion patch content arrives. The shattered world of Argus opens up, with its three distinct zones (Krokuun, Mac’Aree, and the Antoran Wastes) to quest through. Invasion Point scenarios (mini-dungeons in other worlds) also become available, reflecting Patch 7.3’s features. The last Legion dungeon, Seat of the Triumvirate, awaits on Argus, and the climactic raid — Antorus, the Burning Throne — unlocks, pitting players against the Legion’s leadership in an epic finale.
December 9 — Infinite Echoes: The final phase isn’t about new areas but rather a chaotic endgame event. At this point, all Legion content is fully unlocked and players have roughly a month to enjoy the entire expansion’s worth of content without restriction. During Infinite Echoes, the timeline itself begins to collapse — an in-lore explanation for some extra chaos and fun. Blizzard has hinted that this phase will include special "embrace the chaos" events and perhaps bonus rewards as the Infinite Dragonflight’s experiment comes undone. It’s also a chance to say farewell to all the characters and story moments you revisited. Phase 5 lasts until the event ends in early January, giving everyone time for a final nostalgic victory lap.
All told, Legion Remix packs the entire expansion into about three months of fast-paced progression. Every two weeks you’ll get a new dose of content, and with each phase your character power increases. By the Argus phase, your Timerunner will likely be hitting the upper limits of Legion’s item levels — but there’s always a new challenge, like pushing higher Mythic+ keys (more on that soon). The accelerated release schedule means there’s always something new on the immediate horizon, recapturing that exciting feeling of a living world unfolding — only now it happens in days rather than years.
Notably, Legion Remix has no "weekly reset" rhythm like normal WoW does. Dungeons and raids don’t lock you out for a week once cleared: the infinite dragon magic has effectively done away with those limits. This means if you want to farm a raid for transmog or mounts, you can do so repeatedly, and competitive raiders in Remix can re-clear content to gear up much faster than in a traditional setting. Reputation grinds are also vastly sped up or outright bypassed (for example, Broken Isles reputations required for pathfinder flying are earned much more quickly). The idea is that nothing should feel like a tedious time gate in Remix — it’s a sprint, not a marathon, and players are encouraged to enjoy as much as they want, whenever they want. Just be ready: with such a condensed timeline, the world around you will change quickly. Today you might be questing in Val’sharah at level 30; a couple weeks later you could find yourself level 80 fighting through Antorus. It’s a thrilling blur of content, especially for those who experienced it all in real-time years ago.
One of the hallmark features of WoW’s Remix event is a unique currency that ties into the time-travel theme. In Legion Remix, that currency is Bronze — named for the Bronze Dragonflight’s sand of time, and used as the primary token for buying cosmetics and fun items during the event. You’ll accumulate Bronze in many ways as you play. Just about any activity in Legion Remix can award some Bronze: completing quests and achievements, looting special chests and treasures out in the world, doing dungeons or raids, and so on.
In fact, Legion Remix has a particularly entertaining way to farm Bronze out in the open world: If you take to the skies over the Broken Isles (once you’ve unlocked flying via the accelerated Pathfinder), you’ll notice glowing Residual Time-Motes floating about and even trailing behind certain demons. By "Skyriding" through these motes mid-air you collect them, and they’ll burst into an explosion of additional motes to grab. Chaining these aerial pickups lets you hoover up a ton of Bronze quickly (plus it just looks cool, zooming through swirls of time energy).
On Argus, however, flying mounts are disabled, so the infinite dragons have a different trick: you can find a special chronomatic relic that temporarily transforms your character into a speedy little Wyrmtongue creature. In this impish form, you scurry around the ruins of Argus collecting Bronze orbs on the ground — each orb you grab makes you sprint faster, turning it into a frantic game of "collect as many as you can before time runs out". It’s a clever way to allow Bronze farming in a no-fly zone and adds a bit of lighthearted fun to the otherwise dire landscape of Argus.
All that Bronze you gather will primarily be spent at vendors in the Infinite Bazaar (the Remix event hub, located on a floating island near Dalaran) to buy a plethora of cosmetic rewards — transmog sets, mounts, pets, toys, and more. Unlike the previous Remix event (for Mists of Pandaria), where the currency was also used for character power upgrades, in Legion Remix Bronze is used only for cosmetics. This is an important point: your gear and Artifact upgrades are not purchased with Bronze, but come from gameplay (drops and a separate resource). So you can feel free to spend Bronze on whatever stylish items catch your eye, without worrying that you need to hoard it for power. In past events, some players felt torn between buying transmog vs. pumping currency into upgrades — here that dilemma is gone. In fact, Bronze has no cap, so you can farm and spend to your heart’s content over the event’s duration.
To empower your character’s strength in Legion Remix, there’s another resource at play: Artifactum Sand. This glittering sand is essentially crystallized time magic that you use to upgrade your Artifact weapon. Artifactum Sand drops from almost any activity — slaying mobs, completing story chapters, clearing dungeons or raids, etc.
Think of it like bonus loot that feeds into your artifact progression. There’s no vendor for Artifactum Sand; instead, you directly use it to unlock new traits or improve your Artifact’s item level. The key takeaway is that character power progression is self-contained. You play content, you get Artifactum (and gear upgrades), which makes you stronger to tackle harder content — no need to funnel Bronze into power. This separation was a deliberate change to make Legion Remix more enjoyable and alt-friendly. So, focus on gathering Bronze for the cool collectibles, and let Artifactum Sand and loot drops take care of your might.
Incidentally, you might also come across Infinite Power tokens during your adventures — for example, killing an Empowered enemy in Heroic world tier can drop one. These tokens directly grant Artifact Power to your weapon. They essentially serve the same role as Artifactum Sand (progressing your artifact), just flavored differently. In practice, whether you’re looting sand or tokens, it all goes into making your Artifact Weapon ridiculously strong by Legion’s endgame.
To complement the open-ended progression of Artifacts, Legion Remix introduces a flexible questing system called Infinite Research. If you played Dragonflight’s later patches, this will feel familiar — it’s akin to the "choose-your-weekly-research" system, except here it’s daily and optional. Essentially, each real-world day you’ll be offered a selection of research assignments at the Infinite Bazaar hub. These are like mini-quests that ask you to focus on a particular type of content that day, and in return you get a juicy reward cache.
Importantly, you don’t have to do them every day; the system allows you to save up to 6 days worth of research quests if you’re busy during the week. Then, when you have a free weekend, for example, you could grab a bunch of them and knock out several in one play session. This design ensures that even more casual or time-limited players can still reap the rewards without logging in constantly.
So, what kind of tasks might Infinite Research assignments involve? There are over a hundred different quests in the pool, covering virtually every aspect of Legion gameplay. One day you might see a quest to kill X number of Legion demons anywhere in the Broken Isles — a perfect excuse to go ham on invasion forces or stomp some elites. Another option might be to complete 3 World Quests in Highmountain, promoting some world exploration. There are gathering-themed quests like "collect Timewarped herbs and ores" (yes, even crafters are included). Some quests target specific content: for instance, "Finish a Normal dungeon" or "Clear one Legion raid wing" could appear, nudging you into group content. Others tie into the Remix-specific features, such as skyriding to collect orbs — you might get a quest to gather a certain amount of Residual Time-Motes while flying, which pairs nicely with Bronze farming. There are also narrative ones like "Complete a storyline chapter" in a zone, encouraging you to push forward the campaign. In short, whatever your preferred playstyle, you’ll likely find a research quest that aligns with it on any given day.
Completing an Infinite Research assignment yields a Cache of Infinite Power. These caches have a grab-bag of goodies that typically include some Bronze currency, a chunk of Infinite Power for your weapon, and possibly extra rewards like consumable buffs or even a piece of the artifact-boosting jewelry.
In the previous Pandaria Remix event, these caches sometimes contained fun items like scrolls that open portals or other quirky powers. We suspect similar fun surprises might be in Legion Remix’s caches. The cache reward makes doing your research quest feel worthwhile without being mandatory — it’s a bonus for engaging with varied content. If you skip a few days, no problem: thanks to the banking feature, you won’t lose out entirely. You can accumulate up to six pending research tasks, meaning at most you could miss almost a week and still catch up by doing a batch of six quests later.
Overall, Infinite Research is a smart way to ensure players always have a target of opportunity each day — a nudge towards some activity they might otherwise ignore — while remaining completely flexible. You’re not punished for ignoring it; you just might progress your artifact a tad slower if you never do any. But the option is there to chase those daily(ish) rewards on your own schedule. It’s very much in line with modern WoW’s move away from strict dailies and towards player agency. And given how rapid Legion Remix is, having a structure like this helps channel players’ attention without forcing it. One day you may choose to focus on your research quest as your goal; another day you might have other plans and skip it. Azeroth’s timeways will wait for you either way!
If you’re a player who loves cranking up the difficulty for extra reward, Legion Remix has a feature just for you. Inspired by Diablo’s torment levels and world tiers, WoW now introduces the Heroic World Tier, ominously nicknamed "The Shattered Timeline". This is an opt-in hard mode for outdoor content. When active, every creature out in the world becomes significantly tougher: enemies hit harder, have more health, and even gain affix-like buffs or special mechanics to challenge you. The premise is that Eternus (the Infinite dragon guiding this event) wants to test the heroes of Azeroth by showing them what it’d be like if the Legion’s invasion was even more dire — so she empowers the Legion’s forces with chaotic temporal energy, making them far deadlier.
Practically speaking, once you finish the introductory Legion Remix questline, you’ll unlock the ability to toggle Heroic World Tier on and off. At the Infinite Bazaar hub in Dalaran, there’s a device called the Console of Infinite Chaos (located just to the right of Eternus herself) that lets you enter or leave the Shattered Timeline at will. Turning it on will phase you into the Heroic version of the Broken Isles/Argus world: instantly all mobs become Heroic Tier. If it becomes overwhelming, you have a few ways to retreat: you can click the console again to disable Heroic mode, or use a provided ability called Temporal Retreat which safely pulls you out. And if worst comes to worst and you die out there, speaking to a Spirit Healer will also offer to bring you back in normal mode. In other words, you’re never trapped; you can always opt back down if you bit off more than you can chew.
Besides boosted health and damage on enemies across the board, certain mobs will spawn with Empowered effects. There are four distinct Empowered affixes possible, and monsters can even have more than one at once for nasty combinations. For example, one Empowered effect might grant an enemy a shadowy aura that periodically fears players or buffs nearby Legion troops. Another might cause an elite to periodically summon extra adds to the fight. These are somewhat akin to Mythic+ affixes, but in the open world context — an unexpected curveball when you’re doing world quests or farming mobs:
| Affix | Effect |
|---|---|
| Imperious | Nearby allies inflict 25% increased damage. Health increased by 10%. Mobs glow orange with a downward rune hovering above them. |
| Beacon of Chaos | Occasionally summons demonic allies in combat. Health increased by 10%. Mobs have a fel green shard hovering above them. |
| Fel Raiser | Damage and health increased by 40%. Crowd control abilities suppress Fel Raiser for 8 seconds. Mobs glow green with a fel green orb orbiting around them. |
| Engorged | Explodes on death, inflicting Nature damage to all enemies within 30 yards and additional Nature damage over 10 seconds. Loss of control when dying suppresses the explosion. Health increased by 10%. Mobs glow red with a blood orb orbiting around them. |
Defeating Empowered enemies in Heroic World Tier is well worth the effort. Not only do they count for whatever objectives you’re on, but they also drop extra rewards — specifically, additional Bronze currency and Infinite Power for your Artifact. In essence, the game rewards you for taking on the harder content by accelerating your progression. Even non-Empowered enemies will yield more, simply because they’re tuned as tougher. Blizzard hasn’t given exact numbers, but they have stated that overcoming these challenges will result in greater rewards than normal mode content. It makes Heroic World Tier an attractive option for players geared enough to handle it.
In summary, Heroic World Tier is Blizzard’s way of saying: "So, you think Legion was too easy? Try this". It’s completely optional but adds longevity and challenge for those who seek it. Much like Diablo’s higher world tiers, it ensures that even when you’ve geared up and optimized your Artifact, the open world can still put up a fight — and reward you accordingly for triumphing.
As you explore the Broken Isles and Argus during Legion Remix, you’ll come across strange shimmering obelisks etched with draconic symbols. These are the Timewarped Obelisks, a new open-world feature that offers temporary but mighty buffs to aid you in your adventures. If you’ve played Diablo III, they’re somewhat analogous to shrine or pylon buffs — short-term power-ups that can turn the tide of battle or speed up your farming. The Infinite Dragonflight has littered these Obelisks throughout Legion zones as part of their time-tampering experiment, and savvy players can harness them for an edge.
When you click a Timewarped Obelisk, one of a few things can happen. Most often, you’ll receive a buff that lasts for a little while (perhaps a minute or two) granting you extra character strength. For example, one obelisk might imbue you with Temporal Haste, greatly increasing your movement and attack speed for 60 seconds. Another might give Infinite Fortitude, a buff that reduces damage taken and reflects a portion back at attackers. There are rumored to be buffs that cause chain lightning effects from your attacks, or massive health regeneration, etc. These effects can make quick work of elite mobs or help you mow down groups of enemies, which is especially handy if you’re in the Heroic World Tier mode where enemies are tougher.
However, not every obelisk is a free lunch. Occasionally, a mischievous twist occurs: instead of a buff, the obelisk might spawn a hostile creature. One notorious example mentioned by the devs (and discovered on test realms) is an obelisk that summons a demonic Doomguard on top of you. You’ll suddenly find yourself face-to-face with a powerful elite demon. This can be a surprise mini-boss fight, especially if you were low on health expecting a buff! Defeat the surprise enemy, though, and you’re in for a reward; as these foes can drop some pretty sweet loot. So even the trap obelisks are worth triggering if you can handle the consequences. They add a little gambling element to exploring: is this obelisk going to supercharge me or test me?
Timewarped Obelisks are only found in outdoor areas, and their buffs do not carry into dungeons or raids. This is an important point for balance — you can’t stack up a mega buff and then trivialize a boss fight in a raid. They’re strictly to help with world content and maybe tough world quests or rares. In the context of Heroic World Tier, obelisks become strategic boons. For instance, if you see an Empowered rare mob wandering, you might lure it near an obelisk or at least activate an obelisk buff first, then engage the rare with your bonus active.
It wouldn’t be a Legion throwback without the expansion that birthed Mythic+ dungeons. Indeed, Mythic Plus is alive and well in Legion Remix, with a special Remix twist. In this mode, they’re called Timeworn Keystone Dungeons, but function very much like the M+ system you know: you obtain a keystone, you run a timed dungeon with increasing difficulty levels, and affixes modify the dungeons each week.
The entire suite of Legion’s 5-player dungeons is included in the M+ rotation (yes, even the two Suramar dungeons and Return to Karazhan). However, they won’t all be available at the start: as described in the phase schedule, dungeons unlock as their phase comes. By the final Argus phase, all Legion dungeons are unlocked and can appear in keystone rotation. This keeps things evolving and mirrors how M+ seasons add dungeons over time.
The affix system in Timeworn Keystones is one part old-school, one part brand-new. Blizzard brought back most of the original Legion affixes that existed in 2016–17. Notably, the dual cornerstone affixes Tyrannical and Fortified are present at +10 keys — but there’s a twist. Legion Remix introduces a new combined affix called Tyrannically Fortified which essentially applies both effects at once. In weeks with this affix, bosses have extra health and damage and trash mobs have extra health and damage beyond the usual scaling. It’s a devious remix of the two classic affixes, likely meant to pose a brutal challenge at high keys in certain weeks when it's active.
The real star of Remix M+ are the four new affixes called Eternus’s Trials, unique to this event. These affixes bring the Infinite Dragonflight’s meddling directly into your dungeon runs. Only one of the four Trials is active per week, so you’ll get a different one each week on rotation. Each Trial introduces a distinct challenge themed around temporal chaos and was designed to be fun to "break” with clever routing and cooldown planning — a deliberate sandbox approach since Remix is a sealed environment. Thanks to wild item scaling and the infinite artifact power system, groups can push keystone levels to absurd heights during the event, and Blizzard openly encourages this as a consequence-free way to explore the limits of M+.
| Key Level | Affixes |
|---|---|
| +2 |
One of the following: Eternus's Trial: Dusk of the Infinite: While in combat, Eternus calls forth hordes of the infinite dragonflight that ambush players. Eternus's Trial: Sands of Time: While in combat, Eternus manifests bronze orbs that can be caught. Eternus's Trial: Timeways Manifested: While in combat, Eternus summons an elemental that splits multiple times. Eternus's Trial: Twilight Reflections: While in combat, Eternus beckons alternate evil versions of you. |
| +4 |
One of the following: Bolstering: When any non-boss enemy dies, its death cry empowers nearby allies, temporarily increasing their damage by 20%. Stacks. Bursting: When slain, non-boss enemies explode, causing all players to suffer damage over 4 seconds. This effect stacks. Explosive: While in combat, enemies periodically summon Explosive Orbs that will detonate if not destroyed. Raging: Non-boss enemies enrage at 30% health remaining, temporarily granting immunity to crowd control effects. Sanguine: When slain, non-boss enemies leave behind a lingering pool that heals their allies and damages players. Teeming: Additional non-boss enemies are present throughout the dungeon. |
| +7 |
One of the following: Quaking: Periodically, all players emit a shockwave, inflicting damage and interrupting nearby allies. Skittish: Enemies pay far less attention to threat generated by tanks. Volcanic: While in combat, enemies periodically cause gouts of flame to erupt beneath the feet of distant players. |
| +10 |
One of the following: Fortified: Non-boss enemies have 20% more health and inflict up to 20% increased damage. Tyrannical: Bosses have 25% more health. Bosses and their minions inflict up to 15% increased damage. Tyrannically Fortified: Bosses have 25% more health. Bosses and their minions inflict up to 15% increased damage. Non-boss enemies have 20% more health and inflict up to 20% increased damage. |
Getting started with Timeworn Keystones is straightforward. In Dalaran’s Infinite Bazaar, an NPC named Lindormi (a Bronze dragon in disguise) will hand you an entry-level keystone on demand. There’s no Mythic 0 prerequisite or weekly chest — just talk to Lindormi, grab a keystone, and head to any Legion dungeon entrance to activate it.
From there, completing a run upgrades your keystone as usual. The loot model in Remix M+ works a bit differently than modern WoW: there’s no Valor currency and no upgrade vendor. Instead, all gear upgrades come directly from drops scaling up with keystone level. The higher the key you complete, the higher the item level of loot that can drop. This hearkens back to early Legion M+, but with the bonus that higher keys also mean better chances for those gear pieces to roll into stronger versions. Essentially, if you push into really high keys, you’ll gear up faster and to higher levels than someone sticking to low keys. And remember: Bronze is not used for upgrading gear here — so you won’t have a situation of needing to farm currency to improve M+ items.
With so much going on in Legion Remix, it helps to have a game plan. Here are some tips and insights gathered from the WoW community and test realm experiences to ensure you make the most of this hyper-accelerated adventure.
Pace Yourself Through the Phases. The event’s content unlocks rapidly, but you don’t have to rush everything in the first week. In fact, it’s wise to focus on each phase’s offerings during its two-week window. For example, in Phase 1 (Skies of Fire), concentrate on leveling, Order Hall campaigns, and clearing Emerald Nightmare / Trial of Valor. In Phase 2, pivot to Suramar’s Insurrection story and Karazhan / Nighthold. Spreading out your attention will make it less overwhelming and more enjoyable. Plus, some rewards are phase-specific. Target the Llothien Prowler fox mount during the Suramar phase, and aim for Xavius’s shoulders while Emerald Nightmare is current — drop rates might be more generous during the intended phase. Essentially, live in the moment of each patch’s content, just sped up. You have a couple of weeks to relish each segment of Legion’s journey.
Level Efficiently (Alts Too). Legion Remix uses an accelerated leveling curve — you’ll zip from 10 to 80 much faster than normal. Still, to speed it up further, take advantage of any XP boosters. There are Warband-wide XP bonus items (like the Perfected Epoch Memento which grants +10% XP to all your Remix characters), and you might unlock these early on. Do your Class Order Hall campaign as it grants hefty experience and a class mount at the end. Running dungeons is also excellent XP, especially once you over-gear them; queue with friends or use the Group Finder. If you plan to level multiple alts to collect all those class-specific rewards and Order Hall sets, consider unlocking and purchasing that Warband XP boost item first on your main — it will make subsequent alts level even faster. And remember, you get 5 extra character slots per account for Remix, so feel free to roll a few alts.
Use Infinite Research to Your Advantage. The Infinite Research daily quests are essentially free loot and artifact power — don’t ignore them. Even if you can’t log in every day, bank up quests and blitz through up to six of them when you have time. Try to choose research tasks that align with what you were going to do anyway. For example, if you plan to run some dungeons tonight, grab the "Normal Dungeon” or "Heroic Dungeon” research quest before you go. If you’re in a world quest mood, pick up a quest to collect herbs or kill elements outdoors. Efficiency is key in a short event. Completing those research quests regularly will significantly boost your Artifact Power gains and Bronze income, helping you keep pace with the rising difficulty each phase.
Tackle Heroic World Tier when Ready. The Heroic (Shattered Timeline) World Tier can be daunting at first — mobs will hit much harder, so jumping in right at level 80 with poor gear might lead to frustration. A good strategy is to gear up a bit in normal world content and early Mythic dungeons, spend some Artifactum Sand on your weapon, and then gradually dip into Heroic mode for specific activities. Perhaps start by doing Heroic mode for world quests in a zone where you really know the layout or have obelisk buffs handy. Prioritize killing Empowered mobs and rares in Heroic, as they drop extra Bronze and Infinite Power tokens — this can accelerate your progress. If you get overwhelmed, don’t hesitate to toggle it off (Temporal Retreat is your friend). Over time, as your gear and Artifact improve, you’ll find Heroic world content becomes quite manageable and lucrative.
Maximize Bronze Farming. Bronze is the lifeblood of buying all those cosmetics, so efficient farming will save you time. Skyriding in Broken Isles is not only fun but highly rewarding so consider doing a lap of each zone’s skies every few days to collect motes. It pairs well with demon-killing quests or just downtime (some players liken it to a flight tour mini-game). When Argus unlocks, definitely try the Wyrmtongue orb sprint; it can shower you in Bronze if you chain enough orbs. Group content also gives Bronze — running a quick Mythic+ or a Timewalking dungeon yields some from each boss. Don’t forget treasure chests: Legion zones have numerous hidden chests, and in Remix they tend to contain Bronze and sometimes Artifactum. If you’re traversing Azsuna or Highmountain and see a chest on your minimap, snag it.
Don’t Miss the Finale. The final phase, Infinite Echoes, promises some chaotic fun. There are hints of unique events as the timeline collapses — perhaps zones will randomly spawn demon invasions or NPCs from alternate timelines will pop up. We don’t know the specifics, but Blizzard implies it’ll be memorable! This phase is also your last call to buy items from vendors and finish any achievements. Typically, Blizzard has let Remix events run a couple weeks beyond the final phase’s start (the schedule suggests roughly a month of phase 5). Use that time to wrap up any loose ends: if there’s a mount you still need or a raid set you haven’t completed, make it a priority before the event is gone.
