Fresh off the surprise Plunderstorm event in World of Warcraft, Blizzard has another exciting update: WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria.
The original Mists of Pandaria expansion from 2012 is still part of the game, but WoW Remix is a special version. In this version, players create new characters and level up quickly by playing through the old Mists of Pandaria zones.
Even though it’s an older expansion, Blizzard has added new items and progression systems to make the experience feel fresh.
Patch 10.2.7 and WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria is now on the PTR!

During this event, it’s easier than ever to get cool transmog items, mounts, and new variants that will carry over to the upcoming expansion, The War Within. The characters you create for this event will also continue in the game.
One of the exciting things about WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria is the introduction of powerful new gear and gems that can change how your character plays.
For example, the Wildfire gem can make all your abilities cause fire damage over time, and even non-Mage classes can use a short-distance teleport.
There’s also an Artifact cloak that gains power as you play, and the progress you make with it carries over to future characters in the event.
In this version of the game, instead of selling unwanted gear, you can turn it into a new currency called Bronze. You can use Bronze to buy items, cosmetics, and mounts from the original Mists of Pandaria that might be hard to get otherwise.
Think of WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria like WoW Classic but in the current version of the game. You don’t need the latest expansion to play—just a WoW subscription.
Leveling new characters in WoW can be boring, so this is a fun way to level up before the new expansion, The War Within, comes out.
These new features will come with the 10.2.7 update, which is the final chapter of Dragonflight, setting the stage for The War Within’s release later this year. The update doesn’t have a release date yet but will come after Dragonflight Season 4 starts on April 23.
Blizzard’s announcement of WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria follows a new agreement with Netease, a Chinese gaming company, to bring WoW and other Blizzard games back to China this summer after being unavailable there for a year and a half.
WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria is just one of the exciting surprises Blizzard has added to its MMO, including a limited-time battle royale mode released in March.
